본 연구는 우리사회에서 불고 있는 조기유학 열풍에 대한 것으로 1990년대 중반 이후 조기 유학의 현황과 추이를 살펴보고, 이에 대한 선행연구들을 검토한 후 호주 한인 학생의 적응을 교민과 홀로 있는 조기유학생, 기러기가족의 경우 부모가 유학 또는 직장 파견으로 함께 가 있는 경우 등 네 집단의 한인 학생들의 학교생활 및 사회심리적 적응을 분석한 것이다. 본 연구는 2002년 6월과 7월 사이에 시드니 주정부 토요학교에 재학 중인 한국인 학생들과 시드니 성당 중고등부 학생에 대한 설문조사 자료를 분석하였다. 이 밖에도 토요학교 등에서 한국어를 가르치는 한국인 교사 31명에 대한 면담자료와 호주 시드니 지역의 이러한 학생들과 학부모를 관찰 및 면담한 자료도 배경자료로 활용하였다. 본 연구의 주요 발견은 학업, 학교활동 및 학업에 대한 열정, 외국인 친구 사귀기, 호주생활 전반적인 만족도 등에 있어서 유학생이 교민자녀 보다 적응정도가 낮은 편이며, 특히 홀로 있는 유학생의 적응도가 가장 낮다는 점이다. 이들을 가르치고 있는 한국인 선생님들도 어머니와 함께 또는 양부모와 함께 와 있는 경우보다 홀로와 있는 유학생의 경우에 실패율이 높다고 지적하고 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 미국 한인 조기유학생 홈스테이 가디언들의 경험을 알아보고, 홈스테이 경험에 영향을 미치는 요인을 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 미국에 거주하는 한인 홈스테이 가디언 12명을 심층 면접하고, 수집된 자료를 근거이론 방법론으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 한인 홈스테이 가디언들이 홈스테이 경험을 하게 된 원인으로 '이해관계로 시작함'의 범주가 도출되었고, 하위범주는 '주변에서 권함', '경제적으로 도움 필요함', '갑자기 시작함'으로 나타났다. 홈스테이 가디언의 핵심경험은 '중간자로 조율함' 이었고, 가디언 개인 차원의 '부모 역할 함', '이해타산 함', 가족 차원의 '자녀에게 미안함', '가족의 자유가 제한됨', '자녀와 학생들과의 관계가 생김'의 하위범주가 도출되었다. 또한, 학생과의 관계에서 '독립을 원하지만 관심에 목마름', '상처받기 쉬움', '자유와 통제가 과제임', '소통 부재시 섭섭함', 부모와의 관계에서 '성적 기대함', '일방적 대화가 됨', '부모학생의 요구 사이에 끼임', 학교차원에서 '학교의 지적 받음'이 하위범주로 나타났다. '중간자로 조율함' 중심현상에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 '문화적 차이', '학생과 부모의 준비도', '가디언 자녀와 학생의 연령차이', '가족의 지지', '성격이 통함', '가디언의 동기', '부모의 태도' 범주가 도출되었다.

The study abroad phenomenon at an early age in Korea is increasing steadily. Increasing social demand for global leaders, disappointment in Korean educational system and economic growth are motivating more students to study abroad. The study abroad is a social phenomenon that is widespread across all social status in Korea. This study tries to examine the phenomenon in respect to social, psychological, educational and economical perspectives and seek future research questions. The findings suggest ways to improve Korean educational system, support students currently or planning to study abroad and to re-adjust in Korea after they come back. A balanced perspective is necessary in viewing study abroad phenomenon, rather than preventing, implementing stronger pulling factors in Korean educational system. It is necessary to hold the study abroad as another educational opportunity.

This study explores the mobility patterns of Korean Early Study Aborad (ESA, hereafter) students in Singapore through a follow-up longitudinal case study, which was initially conducted about five years before this study. This study takes up transnational migration approach, focusing on family strategies and mobilization, which steered their mobility. Interviews with seven original families as well as 7 families additionally recruited in Singapore in 2012 were collected and analyzed by NVivo 9. In short, this study found that transnational mobility is composed of mobilities at global, regional and local levels. There were four types of mobilities; continuation of stay in Singapore, move from a third county to Singapore, return to Korea, and, what this research calls, fluid mobility. Examining the process of these mobilities shows that we need to consider at least three factors (performance of children's schooling; change of family circumstances; context of reception for both Singapore and Korea) as basic backgrounds. On this basis, the interplay between the context of receptions when aspirations for children's advancement by these transnational families made either facilitate or constrain their mobilities: contexts of Singapore and Korea may play a role of hurdle or trampoline. Also, local context of Singapore largely facilitate mobilities of Korean ESA families at both local and global levels.

This study examines the perception and its meaning of child education and mother]s role for children of Korean mothers for their children to study abroad in Malaysia. For this purpose, data was collected through in-depth interviews with seven mothers and one grandmother. All participants were lived in Malaysia for at least 6 months above. As a result, the most of recommenders of studying in Malaysia were fathers. And the purposes of studying in Malaysia were the improvement of their children's English learning skills and abilities, and not-good academic achievement in Korea. They made a decision for their children to study in Malaysia in that it was good to study in Malaysia for early 'spec' management for their children. But in the case of Korean mothers, they had a diverse desires internally. For example, they had a desire to escape from the relationships with mother-in law or complicated social relations of their family, kin, and neighbors in Korea. In Malaysia, Koran mothers carried out their roles of children's time management, information network management and 'distinction' strategies to their friends and neighbors for their children to study well and up their achievements' levels. Lately, they had planning to develop for their children's long term life design and their choices of universities in Korea, with special reference to the various connections of school-ties and religion-ties in Malaysia.

This study examined the changes in sleeping and studying patterns of young students and their mothers after moving to foreign countries. This study analyzed the relational characteristics of Geese Family members which are summarized as follows: 1) Sleeping Pattern: At the early stages of settling into foreign countries, students begin to sleep in the same bedroom with their mothers, who had used to sleep in separate bedrooms back in Korea. This change in pattern may slightly vary according to the age and gender of the students, and type of residence. Relationships between young students and mothers become more tightly coupled. However, relationships between students and fathers become less tightened. 2) Studying Pattern: Students tend to study in the public space such as the living room and dining areas, rather than in their own private rooms. This is because mothers want to support and focus upon their children's study by sacrificing normal family activities. These patterns appear stronger as their period of study in the foreign country becomes shorter and the ages of the students become younger. These studying patterns also contribute to the coupling between mothers and young students. 3) Family Relationships: From the period as Geese Families, the relation between mothers and young students become closer both physically and emotionally. The relation between fathers and children become less close. The role of fathers is degraded to that of supporter or negotiator for the time period of the mothers and child students in the foreign country.
