4차 본 연구에서는 유치원의 SW·AI 교육 실태조사를 통하여 이를 기초로 유아교육의 특성을 고려한 진정한 의미의 유아 SW·AI 교육 활성화 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 편의표본 추출(convenience sampling)을 통하여 총 194개의 유치원을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 빈도분표를 이용해 분석하였으며, 현재 전체 조사대상의 44%의 유치원에서 SW·AI 교육을 시행하고 있으며 66%가 실시하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 조사 결과 SW·AI 교육을 시행하고 있는 유치원 중 22%가 정규교육과정 형태로 SW·AI 교육을 시행하고 있으며, 70%가 방과 후 특별활동 형태로 SW·AI 교육을 시행하고 있다. SW·AI 교육은 해당 연령의 학급 교실(80%)에서 주로 외부 강사(97%)에 의해 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유치원의 SW·AI 교육내용으로는 네이버, 클로바 등의 관련 업체에서 개발된 블록 코딩 기반 프로그램을 사용하고 있었으며, 이러한 프로그램은 모두 관련 업체가 개발한 교구·재를 포함하여 프로그램과 교구재 사용을 패키지 형식으로 사용하고 있다. 조사 대상의 56%가 현재 SW·AI 교육을 시행하지 않고 있다고 답변하였으며 SW·AI 교육에 대한 인식 부족, 인적·환경적 인프라 부족 등이 주된 요인으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 조사를 토대로 유치원 과정에서 유아교육의 본질과 특성을 지닌 SW·AI 교육이 실현되기 위해서는 첫째, 놀이 중심의 컴퓨팅적 사고력을 기를 수 있도록 유아 발달을 고려한 SW·AI 교육 프로그램이 개발되어야 할 것이다. 둘째, 유치원 교사들을 대상으로 SW·AI에 관한 기초지식을 습득하여 SW·AI 역량을 제고할 수 있도록 국가 차원의 체계적인 교사 교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 셋째, 유아교육 전문가와 SW·AI 교육전문가로 구성된 유아 SW·AI 전담부서의 설립 및 국가 차원의 재정적 지원이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

This study examined the structural relationships among the child's playfulness, self-regulation, and ego-resilience. Through an examination of these relationship, this research aimed to analyze the direct and indirect influences of the child's playfulness on self-regulation and ego-resilience. The participants of this study consisted of 359 children attending kindergartens in the Seoul and Gyeonggi-do area. The sample was analyzed using the SPSS 21.0, AMOS 21.0, and Maximum Likelihood method (ML). The significance of the indirect effects was tested by means of bootstrapping. The results of this study were as follows: (i) the child's playfulness had a direct influence on relational ego-resilience; (ii) the child's playfulness directly affected self-regulation; (iii) the child's self-regulation directly affected relational and aptitudinal ego-resilience; and (iv) the child's playfulness was indirectly influential to relational resilience and resilient competency through self-regulation. The discussion also took into account the specific methods which can be used to enhance the child's playfulness and self-regulation.

The purpose of this study was to explore the process of scientific thinking as it is revealed through the cases of constructive play for young children. For this purpose, the researcher observed and interviewed six four-year-olds in the Jaemi Class while recording them with a camcorder during a free choice activity class in the morning from April 23 to June 25, 2012. The observations were analyzed in chronological order according to the changes of theories and structure as presented by the children themselves. The process of scientific thinking in constructive play for young children can be divided into presentation of naive theories, the abandonment of naive theories according to repetitive experiences and the discovery of inconsistency, the representation of alternative theories, and the abandonment of alternative theories according to repetitive experiences and the discovery of contradictions. On the basis of the results, constructive play has proved to serve a valuable educational function by inducing scientific thinking processes in children. On the basis of this finding, the researcher suggests the need to provide appropriate educational support to teachers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate young children's play preferences through observation at their classrooms and to examine the relationship between children's play preferences and their peer competence and peer acceptance. The subjects were 55 four-year-old children from a kindergarten in C city of Chungnam province. The data was analyzed by MANOVA, t-test, and Pearson's correlation. The results were as follows: first, boys and girls showed different play preferences except for language play and science play. Boys were better liked by same-sex peers while girls were better liked by other-sex peers. Second, there were significant correlations among certain play preferences. Block play preferences were negatively correlated with other play preferences. Third, some play preferences were significantly associated with some sub-dimensions of peer competence. Language play displayed a positive relationship to pro-social behavior, but art play showed a negative relationship to leadership. Finally, peer acceptance was positively correlated only with number/manipulation play preferences. Other-sex peer acceptance was positively correlated with number/manipulation play preferences and art play preferences but negatively with block play preferences.

The objective of this research is to find out the relationship among resilience of young children, their interactive peer play, and mothers' overprotective parenting attitudes. The research was conducted for 455 children aged 3~5 and their mothers of day care centers in the cities of Kimje and Iksan. To measure resilience of young children, the rating scale for parents and teachers(Koo, 2010) adapting DECA(1999) was used. And the interactive peer play scale of Choi and Shin(2008) adapting PIPPS(1998) and the Parental Protectiveness of Do and Falbo(1999) was used. The results from this research are as follows. First, there is a generally significant positive correlation between resilience and interactive peer play of young children. Resilience of young children gets higher as interactive peer play of young children gets higher. Second, there is low negative correlation between resilience and mothers' overprotective parenting attitudes. Resilience of young children gets higher as mothers' overprotective parenting attitudes get low.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mothers'play belief and their children's playtime on self-determination of young children. Methods: Participants of this study were 239 mothers of 6-year-old children attending childcare centers. An online self-report survey method was implemented to investigate whether mothers appreciate the contribution of play on their children's development, if mothers allow their children's playtime, and to examine the level of self-determination of their children. SPSS 22.0 was conducted for descriptive statistics and AMOS 21.0 was used for the path analysis to investigate the hypothetical relationship among variables. Results: Mothers' play support belief had a direct influence on their children's self-determination, while young children's playtime that was also affected by their mothers' play support belief had an indirect effect on their self-determination. Conclusion/Implications: The research shows that children's self-determination can be fostered by providing time to play when they can make decisions and demonstrate goal directed behaviors, and by providing an atmosphere that emphasizes the importance of playing in one's childhood.
