The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect on children's creativity and nutrition knowledge of cooking activities by applying recipe development. The procedure consists 7 steps which are diagnosing a necessity, setting a basic direction, setting ingredients and topics of the activity, designing some models of the activity, designing some developed activity, lastly completing the creative cooking activity. The model of this activities consists 5 steps which are exploring the ingredients, creating a recipe, practising the activities, representing the activities, lastly evaluation the activities. Participants were 36 children who are 4 to 5 years old from K daycare center located in Busan. The results exhibited that creativity and nutrition knowledge of experimental group is significantly higher than comparative group. The creative cooking activity by applying recipe development is effective for advancing in creativity and getting nutrition knowledge of children.

미국의 한국계 이민가정이 해마다 증가하고 있으나 부모의 문화적응과 자녀양육에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 미국 동부지역의 88명의 한인 이민어머니와(M=35.9세 SD=3.77) 2-6세 유아를(M=4.29세 SD=1.06; 49.4% 여아) 대상으로 실시되었다. 어머니의 문화적응 유형에 따라 1) 양육실제에 어떠한 차이가 있는지, 2) 유아의 사회 정서적 행동에는 어떠한 차이가 있는지, 3) 양육실제와 아동의 사회 정서적 행동간에 어떠한 상관이 있는지를 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 한국과 미국문화를 균형지게 통합한 어머니들이 미국문화에서 고립되거나, 두 문화에서 모두 소외된 어머니들보다 자녀에게 더욱 긍정적인(애정표현, 합리적 문제해결, 자율성 격려) 양육실제를 사용하였으며 자녀들 또한 정서적 문제행동은 적은 반면 친사회적 행동은 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The seeds of three barley varieties of which initial seed vigor were different were used to measure seed vigor of accelerated aging techniques. A vigor index derived from the product of percent germination and plumule length was used to estimate seed vigor. The index was compared with the results of other tests. The results of warm germination test well suited to the measurements of seed vigor at the advanced stages of seed deterioration. Other vigor measurements except ATP and GADA values, showed close relationships with the vigor index. The measurements of plumule length in cold test and tetrazolium test were found to be appropriate for predicting seed quality.

The purpose of this study was to suggest a new direction for the development of children's music education and to provide a basis for the development of improved music education program for children through the qualitative investigation of what 'musicing' means to children on the basis of musical experiences - singing, listening, body expression, learning rhythms and time, playing instruments - in the children's comprehensive musical activities. The study was carried out from September $5^{th}$, 2011 to November $25^{th}$, 2011, on 15 4-years-old children in Haetnim-class, in S nursery, in the city of D. The observations were recorded in the field and materialized, and the collected materials were categorized and analyzed. The results of the study suggests that 'doing music' to children means 'making movements,' 'sharing emotions through imitation,' 'fun activity that one can look forward to,' 'musical instruments as playthings,' and 'finding 'the true me'.

This study was to identify the main predictors of smartphone overdependece of infants perceived by mothers and to provide basic data useful for education and practice. For this, data-mining decision tree analysis was performed using SPSS program, and the fianl 410 researches were used for analysis. The results. In the case of the whole infants, the most important predictor of smartphone dependence was father's leisure activity parenting participation. For boys, their father's leisure activity was the most dependent on their smartphone dependence. However, even if father's participation in leisure activities was high, smartphone overdependence increased again when mother's overprotection and permissive attitude were high. Finally, For girls, the most influential variable on smartphone dependence was warmth and encouragement among mothers' parenting attitudes.

Objective: The main purpose of this study was examine the relationships among goodness of fit between mother and child, child's self-esteem and quality of home environment. Also, the moderating effects of quality of home environment among preschoolers were investigated in the relation of interest in this study. Methods: The study subjects were 195 children who attended preschools, located in Seoul. The preschoolers' self-esteem was tested by the trained researcher, and both of levels of goodness of fit between the mother-child and quality of home environment were rated by the mothers of this study. Results: The main results of this study found that levels of preschoolers' self-esteem were positively related to goodness of fit between the mother-child, and quality of home environment. Furthermore, the effects of goodness of fit between mother-child on preschoolers' cognitive, physical, and emotional self-esteem were moderated by the quality of home environment. Conclusion/Implications: Along with those findings, implications for research and practice were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of young children's playfulness between the children's peer competence and their mothers' play beliefs. For this study, 160 mothers and 160 children aged 4-5 years who were in kindergarten and daycare centers in Area J were selected. The collected data were analyzed based on correlation and mediation using SPSS Statistics. The research results are as follows. First, as a result of analyzing the relationship between the young children's peer competence and playfulness and their mothers' play beliefs, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between a mother's play-support beliefs and their children's peer competence and playfulness. On the other hand, the relationship between a mother's learning-support beliefs and her child's peer competence and playfulness was not significant. There was a significant positive correlation between playfulness and peer competence in the young children. Second, as a result of verifying the mediating effect of the children's playfulness in the relationship between their mothers' play-support belief and the children's peer competence, we found that playfulness has a partial mediating role.

This study is intended to look into the effects of children's forest math game activities on their understanding of number and space concept. To achieve this, an evaluation was carried out to 20 4-year-old children in each group - experimental group and control group - by an evaluation sheet after forest math game activities during a total of 16 sessions 4 times a week for 4 weeks. The findings are as follows. First, children's forest math game activities had an effect on their understanding of number and space concept. Second, the difference between experimental group and control group showed that the experimental group received higher evaluation in the classifying and order finding items than the control group. It was confirmed that classifying and order finding in the forest math game were factors to help children's mathematical problem-understanding abilities. This implies that their forest math game activities have a positive effect on their mathematical problem-understanding abilities. Consequently, active forest math game activities for children are needed to help them understand the concept of number in the process of classifying task objects and solving tasks in order.

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a safety education program for children in early childhood. The program was developed to enhance young children's disaster preventing ability, especially preparing urban inundation. The program consists of nine 30-minute sessions. 26 4-year-olds (10 boys and 16 girls) participated in this program. The effect of this program was evaluated by preschool children's safety knowledge and problem solving ability for preventing urban inundation. Results showed that there was a significant experimental effect for safety knowledge. Experimental children showed higher scores of safety knowledge than control group. Also there was a significant experimental effect for safety problem solving ability. Experimental children showed higher scores of safety problem solving ability than control group. The results of program evaluation revealed that this program was helpful for preparing young children for urban inundation.
