Abstract
As our society has rapidly developed, elementary school students are now exposed to various stresses, which have great impact on their emotion and sociality. In response to such phenomena, a study was conducted in order to reduce children’s stresses, increase emotional intelligence, and promote sociality as well as enhance scientific thinking and inquiring through developing a program which grafts horticultural activities onto science education. In total of 72 participants, preliminary and post tests were conducted and 17 from stress group, 5 from sociality group, and 14 from emotional intelligence group responded to those tests thoroughly. Their data were collected and analyzed to figure any change, and additionally teachers inspected any change in children’s activities to record. Other investigation, such as expectation on this program, was done through survey on 52 parents out of 72 participating students. As a result, stress was reduced and emotional intelligence was enhanced. There was no substantial difference in sociality, record from teachers demonstrated that there was a positive effect on inquiring and investigating ability as well as sociality. Also survey on parents indicated that parents’ expectation was very high on this program that combines horticultural activities and science education for more effective and creative effects. There should be further study on grafting horticultural activities onto other fields of education to suggest more integrated programs that help effective development on children’s growth and development.
