The purpose of this study was to find out how follow-up activities of reading picture books influenced infants' language and socio-emotional development. Subjects of this study were 27 2-year-old infants at public day care centers in Busan. After implementing follow-up activities of reading picture books for 8 weeks, this study tried to investigate changes in infants' language and socio-emotional development. Results of this study are as follows. First, follow-up activities of reading pictures have brought positive impacts on infants' language ability. Results indicate a positive influence on infants' expressive and acceptive language ability. Second, follow up activities have also enhanced infants' socio-emotional development. Sepcifically, they have been effective in improving infants' low-level socio-emotional development such as 'internal control', 'peer interaction', and 'achievement motivation'. It is expected that the follow-up activities developed by this research would help to enhance infants' language development and socio-emotional development.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of school library personnel on students' reading behaviors and to identify differences between schools on it. For this purpose, this study surveyed 5,349 elementary, middle and high school students from 154 schools across Korea, and conducted a survey on reading environment, school library, and DLS. The results of the analysis showed that the students at the school where teacher librarians works are more likely to read books, participate in various reading programs, receive more help from teacher librarians in selecting books to read, lending more books, have more experience with DLS and satisfaction with it. The differences between the schools were in the order of 'classes which school library personnel took part in,' 'number of borrowed books,' 'help in selecting books,' 'average reading time per day,' 'number of home books,' 'reading in school library.' Therefore, it is necessary to expand the placement of school library personnel and develop their professionalism in order to prevent inequality in the educational environment between schools.

교사가 이야기책을 반복하여 읽어주는 (a multiple reading) 과정에서 아동이 새로운 단어에 해당하는 그림을 보고 그 단어를 명명하게 하는 (a labeling strategy) 읽기 방법이 아동의 어휘획득에 연령과 경험에 따라 차별적인 효과를 가져오는가, 또한 동일한 읽기 방법이 그룹 상황에 적용되었을 때 일대일 상황에서 얻어지는 효과와 같은 효율성을 갖는가의 문제가 각각의 실험에서 다루어졌다. 양 실험에서 각 연령 (4, 5세) 집단은 그림 어휘력 검사의 표준 점수 결과를 기준으로 하여, 상 하 두 어휘력 집단으로 나뉘어졌다. 아동이 설정된 새로운 단어를 획득한 결과는 comprehensive와 productive 어휘력 검사를 통해 측정되었다. 첫 번째 실험에서 4세와 5세 아동들은 각 연령 집단에서 교사가 일 대 일로 이야기책을 읽어줄 때, 수동적으로 듣거나 또는 설정된 단어에 해당하는 그림을 보며 직접 명명할 수 있었다. 두 번째 실험에서는 첫 번째 실험에 참여한 4세 아동들이 같은 읽기 방법으로 그룹 상황에서 읽혀졌다. 첫 번째 실험 결과, 새로운 단어를 comprehend 하고 produce 하는데 5세 아동이 4세 아동 보다 나은 기제를 갖고 있는지는 분명히 밝혀지지 않았다. 결과를 통해 분명하게 밝혀진 것은 이야기책이 읽혀지는 동안 얻어지는 comprehensive 어휘와 productive 어휘에는 차이가 있다는 것이다. 아동들은, 특히 어릴수록, 새로운 단어를 comprehend 하는데 있어서는 labeling strategy의 효과를 보지 못한 반면, 단어를 produce 하는데 있어서는 동일한 방법이 단순한 반복 읽기 보다 효과적이었다. 덧붙여, 어휘력에 있어 상위 집단에 속한 아동이 하위 집단에 속한 아동 보다 더 많은 단어를 comprehend 하고 produce 한다는 점을 확인시켰다. 두 번째 실험 결과는 그룹 상황에서 4세 아동에게 이야기책을 읽어줌으로써 새로운 단어를 획득하게 할 수 있다는 것을 보여 주었다. 사용된 labeling strategy는 특히 productive 어휘 획득에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 일대일 상황에서 뿐 아니라 그룹 상황에서도 중요한 요소로 보였다. 덧붙여, productive 어휘 획득에 있어서 labeling strategy의 효과는 어휘력에 있어 하위 집단에 속한 아동에게는 상황에 따라 다른 결과를 가져왔다. 즉, labeling strategy의 효과에 있어서 하위 집단의 아동들은 그룹보다 일대일 상황에서 productive 어휘를 더 많이 획득했다. 연구결과, productive 어휘력 발달을 위하여 교사는 일대일 책읽기 뿐 아니라 그룹 책 읽기에서도 labeling strategy를 사용하는 것을 고려해야 하며, 비교적 적은 어휘력을 갖고 있는 아동에게는 일대일 상황에서 labeling strategy를 사용하여 이야기책을 읽어주는 시간을 할당할 것을 제시했다.

The purpose of this study was to examine maternal mental-state talks while mothers and their 2-year-old children interacted in two contexts which were pretense/role-play and shared book reading contexts. Thirty-six dyads of mothers and their 2-year-old children participated in this study. The results showed that the mothers made more references to mental-state in the pretense/role-ply context than in the book reading context, but the ratio of using the three types of mental state talks(i.e., desire, feeling, and cognition) did not vary with the contexts. The most frequently used mental-state talk by the mothers was 'desire' in both contexts and the tendency to use the three types of mental-state talks in the two contexts was related. The results of this study suggest implications for providing useful information on the role of mothers in the development of children's theory of mind.

The purpose of this study is to comprehend the retired elderly person's experience of library using the narrative inquiry method proposed by Clandinin and Cornelly. I intended to grasp the details of the several changes that library use brings to the lives. It was also to examine the meanings of the experiences for their lives. For this purpose, three elderly retirees using public libraries in Seoul were selected as research participants. I interviewed their experiences and constructed field text from interview. Based on the field text, the story of the participants was reconstructed into research text which is form of novels, essays, and letters. Their experience in using libraries was interpreted as a source of regular life, fun and vitality, a treasure house for dreaming new life, a source of consolation to endure old age. And I found some common points within their narrative that they seek for a healthy life through reading books. The results of this study are expected to be useful for expanding the understanding of the public library's elderly users and to be used as basic data for service improvement.

This study was aimed to compare teacher's and mother's literacy beliefs, perception of picture books, and frequency of reading activities, and examine how these variables affect the interaction for reading picture books with preschoolers. The results of the survey from 120 teachers and 168 mothers who have 5-year-olds in Gyeonggi-do and Incheon-si are as follows. Teachers' literacy beliefs were closer to whole language beliefs than were mothers'. Teachers and mothers both fully realized the importance of reading aloud picture books to children with no difference between each other. The level of teachers was higher than mothers' in terms of pleasure of reading picture books. Mothers thought that it is important to reflect on preschoolers' development level, individual conditions, and daily lives when choosing picture books. On the other hand, teachers believed that the popularity of the book is more important. Overall, teachers perceived more benefits of reading picture books than mothers. Mothers reported more extensive interaction when reading books with preschoolers than teachers, while teachers spent more time on reading activities with preschoolers than mothers. Teachers' and mothers' frequency of reading activities and perception about the benefits of reading picture books had effects on their interaction for reading picture books with preschoolers.

The domestic AI speaker market is growing into a full-fledged early audience market beyond the innovative consumer market with 3 million domestic supply units at the end of 2018, but the reality is that for various reasons, we are not satisfied with the use. There are many previous papers on AI Speaker, but the majority of research so far tends to be biased towards the acceptance of the device's own performance. Many changes are being made, such as OTT providers trying to secure the market through collaboration with AI speaker providers. This study tried to identify the priorities for content services, which can be another major selection factor for AI speakers, excluding the factors of unsatisfactory technology. First, this study identified the priorities among AI speaker selection factors using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), based on the AI speaker selection factors derived through literature research. The most important hierarchical factor are Concierge Service, Education Service, and Entertainment Service order in AI speaker selection, and the primary content among the individual factors was the one that ranked weather/temperature/fine dust (11.6%) and child caring content was in the second place (10.8%), and then music service was in the third place (9.8%). The three top priorities were derived from the items in the top tier 1, 2 and 3 priorities. Of the total 15 individual services, 6 sub-layers of Concierge Service (weather/temperature/fine dust, news, voice schedule notification) and Education Service (foreign language, toddler, reading books) were in the top 8, and two of the Entertainment Service Music service and movie service ranked third and sixth.

The purpose of this study is to develop a model of attitude toward reading. For that the concept and factors of reading attitude were examined and the preceding reading attitude models were critically studied to propose the new reading attitude model. The reading attitude model is consisted of three component named reading environment domain, reader domain and reading domain. The results of the development of a model of attitude toward reading are as follows. First, This study proposed a theoretical framework that can check and measure the reading attitude in various aspects by dividing reading attitudes into cognition, affect and intention factors. Second, It reinforced the logicality on the construct of reading attitude by dividing behavioral factor of reading attitude into the intention and the behavior. Third, This Model reflected the importance of book with text by specifying physical books and reading a book in the model. Fourth, this model theoretically proposes the potential for change of reading attitude and behavior by suggesting cognitive and affective schema from reading experience. Fifth, the developed reading attitude model helps to understand the form and process of reading attitude by presenting impact of reading environment and stimulation derived from reading environment on reader and reader's reading behavior and affective relation on feedback.
