초록
Objectives: This study qualitatively explores how young children develop an emerging understanding of AI literacy and ethical awareness through play-based interactions with AI robots. It examines how a multidimensional AI literacy construct, integrating affective, behavioral, cognitive, and ethical components, unfolds within authentic early childhood educational contexts.
 Methods: The participants included 103 children (aged 4-5) and four teachers from two kindergartens in D City, South Korea. Ten sessions of play-based activities, centered on understanding, applying, evaluating, and ethical awareness were conducted using an Alpha Mini robot (NAVER CLOVA). Data sources, including video recordings, observation notes, teacher journals, and focus group interviews, were analyzed through thematic analysis of interaction episodes using MAXQDA 2024.
 Results: Three main themes and nine sub-themes were identified. First, the children demonstrated an emerging understanding of AI mechanisms, recognizing technical limitations while perceiving robots as emotionally relatable entities. Second, they employed strategic behaviors, such as modifying speech and regulating turn-taking, to
