이 연구는 지난 20여 년 동안 우리나라 환경교육의 활성화를 위하여 많은 연구자, 학교 교사, 환경단체 지도자가 제안해 온 과업을 다루고있다. 그것은 학교 안팎에 걸쳐 요람에서 무덤까지 환경교육이 체계적이고 지속적으로 이루어질 수 있도록 법적, 제도적 기반을 마련하는 것이다. 법제적 뒷받침이 환경교육의 활성화를 위한 충분조건은 되지 못하더라도 필요조건으로서 매우 중요한 의미를 갖고 있다는 점은 분명하다. 이 연구를 수행한 사단법인 한국환경교육학회는 국회환경포럼과 함께 환경교육진흥법(가칭) 시안의 개발과, 나아가 실질적인 입법화를 위해 노력하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 우리나라에 이미 존재하는 도서벽지 교육진흥법, 특수교육진흥법, 산업교육진흥법, 영재교육진흥법, 과학교육진흥법, 유아교육진흥법, 이상 여섯 개의 교육진흥법을 분석하여 환경교육진흥법 시안 개발을 위한 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 다음으로 외국의 환경교육 관련법에 대한 사례 연구를 진행하였다. 특히 미국의 경우 1970년 처음 환경교육법이 제정된 이후 몇 차례의 개정과 재승인 과정을 거쳐왔다. 미국에서는 1990년에 제정된 국가환경교육법의 재승인에 관한 공청회가 지난 2000년 여름 동안 개최되어 환경교육법의 필요성, 효과, 고려할 조항 등 본 연구에 중요한 참고 자료를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 학회의 다른 연구진에 의해 2001년 10월에 완료된 제2차 환경교육 중 ·장기 강화방안 연구의 결과물도 환경교육 활성화를 위한 시안에 담아야 할 내용과 방향을 결정하는데 실질적인 도움을 주었으며, 이를 토대로 연구진과 국회환경포럼의 환경교육활성화위원회의 위원이 윤독과 수정을 거쳐 시안의 타당성과 완성도를 높이고자 하였다. 작성된 시안에 대해서는 먼저 국내의 환경 또는 환경교육 관련 전문가에게 설문지를 보내어 의견 수렴을 하였으며, 이 과정에서 시안에 포함된 대부분의 항목에 대해 높은 찬성률을 보인 것으로 나타났다. 그밖에 설문지로부터 수정 ·보완 요청 사항을 정리하여 최종 시안을 작성하는데 반영하였다. 끝으로 10월 26일 국회 의원회관에서 개최된 공청회를 통하여 다양한 집단의 의견을 수렴하였으며, 공청회 동안 제시된 의견들을 반영하여 최종 시안을 작성하였다. 이러한 과정을 거쳐 작성된 환경교육진흥법 최종 시안은, 제1조 목적에서 제11조 환경교육연구의 진흥에 이르기까지 총11조로 구성되었으며, 환경교육사 자격증제 및 환경교육 프로그램 인증제 등 획기적인 전기를 마련할 수 있는 방안들이 다수 포함되어 있다. 특히 환경교육진흥법의 주무 부처를 환경부로 제안한 것은 기존의 교육 관련 진흥법들이 교육인적자원부를 주무로 하고 있는 것에 비해 매우 특기할 만 하다. 그 이유는 본문에서 밝힌 바와 같이 환경교육이 갖고 있는 특수성 때문이다. 환경교육진흥법의 주무 부처를 환경부와 교육인적자원부 중 어디로 하는 것이 바람직한가에 대해서는 연구진 내부는 물론 공청회에 참가한 사람들 사이에도 이견이 있었음을 밝혀 둔다. 끝으로, 이 연구에서 마련된 시안과 연구 결과가 최종적으로 속히 법제화가 되고, 우리나라 환경교육 진흥에 기여하게 되기를 바란다.

The established childcare facilities, which were established as a result of a policy of the government focusing on enlarging the numerous facilities, caused some qualitative deficits. In the existing situations, they usually practice a single fixed program and concentrate on more static teaching then kinetic with over-crowded childcare teachers.

This study analyzed the effectiveness of visiting reading programs for vulnerable children, focusing on the case of libraries in A-si, Gyeonggi-do. Library A utilized a visiting teacher to deliver books that matched the children's levels and interests through non-face-to-face interactions, or to engage in face-to-face reading sessions and deliver books together. In 2022, a total of 158 individuals from 103 families participated in the program, with 103 individuals from 67 families delivering books and 55 individuals from 36 families engaging in book reading activities. Pre- and post-project surveys were conducted to assess the reading effects, and interviews were conducted with the visiting teachers. The analysis revealed that the level and interest of the children during book delivery and reading sessions were identified, and the effects of reading books with high levels of interaction were significant. Infants who were able to easily acquire reading experiences according to their age exhibited better reading effects compared to elementary school students. The program aimed at the new participant group showed slightly greater effectiveness than the group of continuing participants. Furthermore, following the implementation of the program, improvements were observed in reading interest, reading attitude, reading environment, reading interaction, self-esteem, social skills, language ability, reading proficiency, self-directed learning ability, and library utilization rate.

The upcoming century is a knowledge based society which did not exist before which requires creative ability to solve problems. Therefore, it is necessary to Provide a creative program of problem solution in order to match this global trend The creativity of problem solution means the ability to solve a problem using previous ideas in an advanced way or develop new ideas. Creative education is especially important for infants. Because the young mind is where fresh ideas preside and can frame-work the early stage of life like a blank sheet of paper. The Infant-Early Child Creative Development Institute. as an adhesive institute at Yeungjin College, develops various programs that integrate methods which match current trend in this era and also start the Creative Promotion Test with 2,000 Families for the expansion of creative education from the baseline as an alternative method. The infants tested in the creative test will find ways of problem solution through animation beam projects for their given situation and also discuss the problems with their family members. Through these processes the infant and family members will complete the creative structures to solve the problems using limited materials given by the institute, and the final product will be evaluated as objective results. The final evaluation of the test will also be considered the teamwork of family cooperation and the attitudes of participants as well as the product of problem solution. The criterion of the evaluation is to be considered both a creative way of thinking and creative attitudes. Because the score counts were conducted manually it delayed the selection of awarded students who took the test. Also, we found that some parents have difficulty in accessing information to find the score through homepage from the computer. this Problem might be corrected in the future plan. Like Freud's saying, if human character and exploring attitudes during the early stage of a child, a person's creativity is composed their infant period as their basic foundation. Therefore, the family wh first environment the infant encounters will be treated as a prima when making basic structure. From this viewpoint, this creative test work as a festival of creativity fare with 2,000 families.
