This study has the purpose to find basic materials for development of kindergarten's uniform and suggest the improvement of its design based on the survey results from Suncheon area in Jeollanam-do of Korea. Such study methods were conducted as literature review, survey with direct visit, interview, and photographing of dresses regarding the kindergarten uniform. The following are research results. First, kindergarten teachers presented a positive opinion about the necessity for children to wear the uniform. In selection of design, they regarded the activity as most important factor. Kindergartens applying active wear compatible as townwear also accounted for 57.1%, which is more than half. Second, the formal wear, in the winter season was found to consist with jacket or knit cardigan, knit vest, shirts, skirts or pants, and necktie. For color, most of them are in dark tone, which need to be brighter. For pattern, they are in plain color, which needs to have various patterns. As to the cloth material, such problems should be improved as warmth retentivity in consideration of seasonal nature, moisture retentivity, breathability, color retentivity when washing, and harmless to human body. Third, active wear is mostly the casual sportswear type. But it has no characteristic unique to kindergarten in design and needs to be altered for differentiated design. Especially, it is simply divided into winter wear and summer wear in kind. Therefore, it is required to have differentiation for seasonal characteristic and diversity in number of item and improvement in terms of cloth material.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of kindergarten's factors on athletic movement ability in early childhood. The factors included teacher's perception of athletic movement, length of time for physical activity, and number of athletic facilities in the kindergarten. The subjects consisted of 551 children aged from four to five years in 8 private kindergartens. The instruments used for this study were the obstacle course of Project Spectrum for measuring athletic movement ability, and the questionnaire to investigate the teacher's perception, length of time for physical activity, and number of athletic facilities in the kindergarten. The data from all the tests were analyzed by correlation and regression analyses. The results of this study exhibited that the length of time for physical activity was the most important factor among three factors, and the teachers' perception of athletic movement and the number of athletic facilities in the kindergarten were also deciding factors for the children's athletic movement ability.

This research is exploratory in considering the unique socio-cultural context of South Korea, where the present government is responding to the demand for English language training. The study asked the question: What do mothers experience when sending their young children to a private English institute, so called English kindergarten, instead of a regular preschool? A qualitative approach was used to analyze the in-depth interviews with 19 mothers who sent their young child to an English kindergarten. Mothers stated that their young child needs to be a competent English speaker. The mothers expected that an English kindergarten would prepare their child better for the elementary school English curriculum than a regular preschool. The study revealed that English kindergartens symbolized the precedence and the privileges of the elite because of their high tuition fees, native-speaker teachers, and small class sizes. The mothers showed a sense of pride and vicarious satisfaction from sending their child to an English kindergarten. However, the mothers recognized that English kindergartens put more emphasis on cognitive learning instead of the social development of children. It was almost impossible for mothers to communicate with the native-speaker teachers about their child. The mothers seemed to overlook their child's struggle to adapt to an English Kindergarten. The findings of the study raise issues concerning the boom of teaching young children English in Korea.

The objective of this study was to examine multicultural family children's adjustment process to kindergarten and differences in their adjustment among time points. For these purpose, we conducted interviews and a questionnaire survey with teachers in charge of 3-5-year-old young children from multicultural families at public and private kindergartens in Gwangju, Jeollanamdo and Daejeon. According to the results of this study, multicultural family children adjusted themselves to kindergarten through four weeks' daily life in the kindergarten. In daily work adjustment, they showed some difficulty in Week 2 but their adjustment improved rapidly in Week 3 and Week 4. Self adjustment and peer adjustment also improved notably in Week 3 and Week 4. In pro-social adjustment, the children showed difficulty in Week 2, improvement in Week 3, and again difficulty in Week 4. These results suggest that, by responding to the teacher's sensitivity and intimacy, young children in multicultural families have a pattern of adjustment similar to that of young children in Korea families.

The purpose of this study was to determine the actual state of the indoor air quality in newly built or remodeled kindergartens by TVOC and HCHO concentration and teachers' responses. The field measurements on the levels of TVOC and HCHO were carried out in six classrooms of newly built or remodeled kindergartens before their opening. The interviews with teachers of subject kindergartens were carried out at the end of the first semester. The contents of the interviews were teachers' subjective responses and symptoms of the kindergarten pupils on the Sick New-School Syndrome. The results are as follows; the mean value of TVOC concentration in the classrooms of kindergartens ranged from 0.10ppm to 0.42ppm, which can theoretically exert a harmful influence on residents. The mean value of HCHO concentration ranged from 0.00ppm to 0.03ppm, which does not exceed the standard. The TVOC concentrations of the more ventilated kindergartens were lower than the others. Also, the classrooms with high concentrations of TVOC showed negative responses or symptoms in teachers and kindergarten pupils.

본 연구는 유아의 바람직한 기본생활습관 형성을 위한 부모교육 프로그램의 기초 자료를 제공하기 위해 어린이집에 다니는 3, 4세 유아를 둔 어머니와 아버지의 애정적, 자율적 양육태도와 기본생활습관의 중요성에 대한 인식에 따라 남아와 여아의 기본생활습관에 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 이를 위해 서울과 경기도에 위치한 어린이집 7곳의 3, 4세 유아 160명의 아버지와 어머니를 대상으로 이화여대 부속유치원(1995)의 기본생활습관 질문지와 Schaefer에 기초한 박두미(2004)의 부모양육태도 질문지를 사용하여 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 유아의 기본생활습관 형성에 영향을 미치는 부모의 특성은 유아의 성에 따라 차이가 났다. 여아의 경우에는 아버지와 어머니가 자녀의 기본생활습관을 중요하다고 생각하는 인식이 기본생활습관 형성에 중요한 영향을 끼치는 반면, 남아의 경우에는 기본생활습관에 대한 부모의 인식도 중요했지만 이는 부모의 애정적인 양육태도에 따라 차이가 나서, 부모가 기본생활습관을 중요하게 생각하지 않는 집단이라도 특히 어머니가 애정적인 양육태도를 사용한 경우에는 바람직한 기본 생활습관을 형성하였다. 그리고 부모의 자율적인 양육태도와 관련해서는 유의한 상호작용 효과가 나타나지 않았다.

이 연구는 제3차에서 6차에 이르는 유치원교육활동지도자료 총40권에 나타난 성역할의 내용을 내용분석법으로 살펴보았다. 연구목적은 유치원 7차 교육과정의 기초 자료를 제공하는데 있었다. 연구문제는 남녀의 성별분업표현, 남녀의 직업 표현에 따른 성역할 내용의 변화에 대한 것이었다. 연구 결과 첫째, 남성은 직장생활이 강조되고 있는 반면 여성은 가사노동이 강조되었다. 둘째, 남녀의 직업은 우리 삶에서 일상적으로 인식하고 있는 직업들로 묘사되고 있었으며, 남성의 직업이 여성의 직업보다 더 다양하게 제시되었다. 셋째, 제6차의 경우는 제 3, 4, 5차에서보다는 남녀의 성을 구분하는 단서를 주지 않으려는 사례가 많았다. 또한 남녀의 차별적인 표현을 없애고, 어느 한 쪽에 치우치지 않기 위해 남녀를 평등하게 제시하는 사례가 많았다.

본 연구는 유아의 친사회적행동의 중요성을 인식하고, 일생동안 기본 생활습관이 형성되며 발달하는 유아기에 유아교육기관에서 다례교육 프로그램을 개발하고 활용하여 유아들의 친사회적 행동이 일어날 수 있는 다례교육을 실시하고 그 결과를 검증하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구의 대상은 강동구에 위치하고 있는 K 유치원에 다니는 유아 90명과 중구에 위치하고 있는 H유치원에 다니는 유아 90명이다. 이들의 가정의 경제 상태는 중류 정도이다. 분석결과 집단별 유아의 친사회적 태도의 변화를 분석해 본 결과, 유아다례교육이 유아의 친사회적 행동에 긍정적인 변화에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 다례 교육이 유아들의 기본 생활 습관과 친사회적 행동 및 인성 교육을 도모할 수 있는 유용한 교육적 활동임을 시사한 것이다.
