Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in the playfulness of play teachers and children with developmental disabilities who supported play by providing play activities for children with limited play experience and to suggest ways to pursue the essential attributes and values of childhood play. For this purpose, the reflection logs written by play teachers while conducting play activities were analyzed. The results showed that children experienced positive changes in leading participation, cognitive flexibility, expression of joy, and voluntary full immersion in play. Play teachers also grew in their pursuit of the essence of the play. The positive changes in the play environment were not significant due to changes in the play space, play time, and play objects that were beyond the control of the play teachers alone. Based on the findings of this study, we propose ecological play activities that can be developed in a meaningful way.
