The purpose of this study was to analyze toddlers' verbal and nonverbal interaction with their peers and caregivers according to the class size of child care centers in Seoul. The subjects of this study were 20, two-year-old(M=32.5 month) toddlers with peers and caregivers from child care centers in different class sizes, but with same caregiver-toddler ratio. Verbal and nonverbal interactions were videotaped during one hour indoor free play per child in the center. According to the class size, the results were as follows : 1) Toddlers in the small class played more cooperatively with peers, and uttered more regulative or directive words than those in the large class. 2) Toddlers in the large class were more aggressive than those in the small class. 3) Caregivers in small class expressed more empathetic behaviors to a toddler than those in large class.

The socio-emotional behaviors of 2-year-olds were examined by multiple attachments to mothers and child care providers in the context of home and child care centers. Participants were 100 children (mean age: 30.2 months), their mothers, and 27 child care providers. Attachment security was assessed with attachment Q-set. Children's social interaction with peers and teachers were rated every 10 seconds during 10 minute observation periods for 4 days, totaling40 minutes per child. Mothers and child care providers completed the Infant Toddler Socio-Emotional Assessment (ITSEA). Results showed that secure attachment relationships with child care providers partly compensated for insecure attachments with mothers at home. In the context of the child care center, secure attachments with child care providers were more important determinants of the development of socio-emotional behaviors than secure attachments with mothers.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of parent-teacher relationships on mothers' parenting efficacy especially for toddlers. Methods: 225 mothers of toddlers completed questionnaires on parent-teacher relationships and parenting efficacy. This study used technical statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis in order to analyze the collected data. Results: First, there was a significant correlation between parent-teacher relationships and mothers' parenting efficacy. Second, the parent-teacher relationships was an important factor in predicting mothers' parenting efficacy. In particular, when a teacher and mother develop practical collaboration for caring for and educating a child, the mothers' parenting efficacy was higher. Conclusion/Implications: These findings indicate that the parent-teacher relationship is a significant factor in order to improve the quality of parenting. The results especially support the importance of collaboration between teachers and parents and suggest that we need to find practical ways for collaborating in the field. Limitations of this study and implications for future research were discussed.

본 연구는 보육시설을 이용하는 영유아 어머니들의 양육죄책감에 영향을 미치는 변인을 분석하였다. 양육과정에서 경험하는 보편적 양육죄책감이 아닌 보육시설에 자녀를 맡기는 상황에서 경험하는 타인양육에 대한 죄책감에 연구의 초점을 두었다. 이를 위해 광주 전남지역에 거주하는 어머니 350명을 대상으로 사회인구학적 변인에 따라 양육죄책감에 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 또한 양육죄책감에 대한 어머니의 양육효능감, 교사의 지지, 어머니의 적극적 상호작용, 보육시설 만족도의 상대적인 영향력을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 첫째, 영아 어머니가 유아 어머니에 비해, 그리고 첫째아의 어머니가 둘째이후 자녀의 어머니에 비해 높은 양육죄책감을 보고하였다. 둘째, 양육죄책감 영향요인 중, 교사의 정서적 지지가 양육죄책감을 가장 잘 설명하는 변인으로 나타났다. 또한 양육효능감과 어머니의 적극적 상호작용, 그리고 보육만족도가 유의한 설명력을 보였다. 이는 자녀를 보육시설에 맡기는 상황에서 경험하게 되는 어머니들의 양육죄책감을 줄일 수 있는 방법으로, 교사와 어머니 간의 적극적 상호협력을 통한 양육공조의 중요성을 시사한다.

본 연구는 인성교육의 중요성이 강조되고 있음에도 불구하고 여전히 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사의 인식이 부족하고, 본질적으로 인성교육이 가야할 운영방향에 대한 내용 분석은 거의 수행되지 않았다. 이에 다시 한번 조사 연구를 통해 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사들의 의견을 수렴하고자 하였다. 조사대상으로는 S시의 어린이집에 근무하는 교사 208명을 대상으로 설문조사하였으며, SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 활용하였다. 이에 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사의 인식에서는 인성교육에 대해 많은 관심이 있었으며, 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 인성교육을 강조하는 이유는 "개인이기주의"이며, 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 '부모의 가치관", 도움을 주는 요인은 "전인적 인간발달과 건강증진", 인성교육의 내용에서는 내적내용은 "용기", 외적내용은 "예절"인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사의 실태에서는 과반수 이상이 인성교육을 시행하고 있었으며, 그에 따른 교수자료로는 "인성교육 관련 자료", 교수-학습방법은 "이야기나누기", 횟수는 "주 1회", 소요시간은 "30분 이내", 주체자는 "담임교사", 어려운 점으로는 "학부모의 비협조적"인 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사의 요구에서는 가장 적합한 시기는 "영아기"부터이며, 지도방법은 "가정과의 연계하여 지도"해야 하며, 고려해야 할 사항으로는 "교사의 솔선수범"인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 영유아에게 올바른 인성교육을 위해서는 발달수준에 맞는 다양한 프로그램이 제공되어야 하며, 더불어 이에 따른 교사교육이 먼저 시행되어야 할 것이다.

Objective: This study examined the correlation between variables influencing teacher sensitivity to infant classes in Educare Center teachers and teacher sensitivity, by classifying their personal psychological, socio-psychological, and work environment variables. Furthermore, it aimed to inquire the extent to which these variables influence teacher sensitivity. Methods: The study included 236 Educare Center teachers in charge of infant classes working in infant-caring facilities. Based on stepwise multiple regression analysis, a significance test was conducted for each variable. Results: Firstly, according to the correlations regarding teacher sensitivity to infant classes, for sensitive interaction, emotional stability showed significant positive correlation, while there were significant negative correlations with relationships with the director, colleagues,and parents; mean working hours in other places; and mean daily personal time. For insensitive interaction, there were significant negative correlations with emotional stability and mean daily break time, while there were significant positive correlations with relationships with the director, colleagues, and parents. Secondly, regarding the influences on teacher sensitivity to infant classes, for sensitive interaction, the most significant influences consisted in the relationships with colleagues and parents. On the other hand, for insensitive interaction, the most significant influences were the relationship with colleagues and emotional stability. Conclusion: Reducing interpersonal relationship stress and increasing the emotional stability of Educare Center teachers will increase their sensitivity level. Furthermore, the quality of care will be improved.

The purpose of this research is to gather basic data to make nursery teachers' role clear and to suggest a way to improve their expertise by investigating their sensitivity and expertise. To fulfill this aim, this research was performed by targeting 180 nursery teachers responsible for infant classes in national, public, and private nursery schools. To measure the nursery teachers' sensitivity, Gerber's (2003) teacher sensitivity indicator is used. And to measure the efficacy of teaching play, the indicator, which was developed by E. Shin, Y. Yu and H. Park (2004), was used through modification and complement. Also for measuring the teacher's expertise, research data were collected by the generalized and modified questionnaire which was used in H. Yoon's (2010) research. The results of the analysis of collected data show that the teacher group with higher sensitivity in the infant class shows meaningfully higher professional ethics, higher performance, and higher recognition of expertise than the teacher group with lower sensitivity. And the teacher group with higher awareness of the efficacy of play shows higher professional ethics, higher performance, and higher recognition of expertise than the teacher group with lower sensitivity. too. Also, the results of the analysis of the correlation between the infant teacher's sensitivity, efficacy of teaching play, and recognition of expertise show that the teacher's sensitivity has a static correlation with the total points of social necessity, professional ethics, fairness, teacher's performance, and recognition of expertise. When we generalize the research results, we find that positive sensitivity and higher efficacy of teaching play make the infant class teacher's expertise recognition higher.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the qualities of infant day-care centers and the caregivers' interactions with infants. Forty-six day-care centers from Seoul, Daejeon, and Daegu were enrolled in this study. Two kinds of methods were used for data collection; one was the Assessment Scale for Infant/Toddler Care Center developed by Choi and the other was the Qualitative Rating Scale for Caregiver used in the NICHD Early Child Care Project. Frequency, percentile, Crollbach's, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation were calculated for data analysis. Qualities on 5 factors of infant day-care centers were ranged from 3.44∼4.35, the highest with health managing and the lowest with support system in the Likert 5-point scales. Sensitivity, developmental stimulation and positive regard to child, which are the caregiver's positive interactions with infants were rated minimally or usually characteristic. In addition, intrusiveness, detachment, negative regard to child and flatness, which are negative interactions with infants were rated never or minimally characteristic. Finally, some suggestions for good quality and facilitation of infant care were made.
