Abstract

The purpose of this study was (l) to explore the present state of worksheets for home use with young children, and (2) to examine perceptions of young children's mothers and editors about these worksheets. 40 kinds of worksheets delivered to children's homes were analyzed. 106 mothers and 131 editors were surveyed by use of questionnaires which had been developed by the researchers. The results showed that (1) even though there are many types of worksheets delivered to the homes of young children, there are few worksheets which meet their teaching goals; (2) young children's mothers are well informed about the state of worksheets, and they would like to supplement the worksheets with visits by teachers who majored in child related studies; (3) the editors of worksheets have mostly majored in Korean language, English, and Math-related studies but not in child related studies.
