Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : While previous studies reported that the art and culture education might have positive effects on children’s emotional, behavioral, social and cognitive function, few studies have verified this effect in normal children with objective neurocognitive test. This study aimed to examine the effect of art and culture education on emotional, behavioral, social and cognitive function in children.
Methods : Thirty 4th grade elementary school children participated in the art and culture eduation of 11 weekly sessions and 2 booster sessions. Each participant was assessed with Children’s Depression Inventory, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, Disruptive Behavioral Disorder Scale, Korean Child Behavior Checklist, Social Skills Improvement System-Rating Scales, Interpersonal Reactivity Index, Advanced Test of Attention (ATA), Stroop Test and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) before and after the intervention.
Results : The participant’s scores on the scales for emotional, behavioral and social functions didn’t change significantly. However, scores on ATA, Stroop test and WCST showed significant improvement (p<.05) after the attendance of the education.
Conclusion : This study suggests that the art and culture education has a positive effect on cognitive function in normal children. Further longitudinal and controlled studies are needed to confirm our findings.
