유보연계형 인정어린이원은 유치원과 보육소의 일체화 시설로서 2013년 현재 595개가 설치되어 있으며, 이를 더욱 확산시키고자 일본정부는 2012년에 인정어린이원법을 개정하고, 2014년 4월에는 유보연계형 인정어린이원의 설비 운영의 기준 및 보육, 교육내용을 발표하였다. 유보연계형 인정어린이원의 설비 및 운영의 기준은 유치원과 보육소의 기준보다 높은 기준을 적용하고 있다. 따라서 현재 유치원과 보육소에서 제공하고 있는 보육의 질적 수준은 유지될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 보육, 교육내용의 경우, 초등학교 교육의 준비단계로서의 교육적인 면을 지나치게 강조하였다. 0-5세의 영유아가 하루생활의 대부분을 유보연계형 인정어린이원에서 생활하게 된다는 점을 고려해 볼 때, 양호적인 측면의 내용이 한층 보강되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 2017년 개정된 일본 영유아 교육·보육과정의 구성체계와 개정중점을 탐색해 보는데 그 목적이 있다. 첫째, 2017년 개정 고시된 3기관(유치원, 보육소, 유보연계형 인정어린이원)의 영유아 교육·보육과정 구성체계는 다소 차이가 있으나 그 특성에 따라 보다 구체화하였으며, 공통적으로 개정중점을 같은 방향에서 제시하고 있다. 둘째, 교육·보육과정의 개정중점은 유아기까지 길러야 할 3가지 자질·능력을 정립, 10가지 유아상을 명확히 하고 있다는 점과 길러야 할 자질·능력과 유아상을 실천하기 위하여 커리큘럼·메니지먼트의 확립을 강조하고 있다는 점이다. 유아상에 제시한 내용이 영유아의 발달에 적합한지와 교사의 자율권을 보장하지 못하면서 지나치게 커리큘럼·메니지먼트의 확립을 강조하고 있지 않는지에 대한 교육·보육관계자들의 검토가 필요한 것으로 보인다.

Teacher's practical knowledge is potentially relevant to the teaching practice in his/her classroom. The research explored early childhood teachers' practical knowledge of 'curriculum' via conceptual metaphors. The participants (N=348) completed a prompt, "Curriculum is like A because B" and then the metaphors were analyzed according to the procedure proposed by Moser (2000). The analysis found that 8 themes (i.e. 'educational basis', 'learning opportunity', 'educational material', 'difficulty', 'change', 'pre-determination', 'discordance', and 'reconstruction') were the underlying conceptions signified in those metaphors. The implications regarding early childhood teachers' practical knowledge were discussed on the perspective of post-modern curriculum. Moreover, it recommended the practical knowledge based approach for early childhood teacher education, and transformation of current policy for program evaluation relevant to curriculum conceptualization.

This study explored the contents of practical knowledge about educational planning in early childhood curriculum as constructed by kindergarten teachers at early career stages and then developed a collaborative model of educational planning. Subjects were 6 teachers at early career stages. Using the ethnographic method, data were collected by in-depth interviews. Research outcomes were : (1) teachers specifically worked on 'difficulties in adapting to the teaching job', 'age of children that the teacher cares for', 'integration of theory and practice', and 'variety of actual teaching situations.' (2) A model for collaborative educational planning was constructed on the basis of review of the literature on teachers' knowledge, educational planning for early childhood curriculum, and learning of community.

A large sample (1090) of randomly selected early childhood education professionals and government officials rated each of the 133 standards of "A Model for Institutional Accreditation for Early Childhood Education and Care"(Yang, 1999) on a scale of 1 (least important) to 5 (most important). Findings were that all kindergartens and child care centers should be evaluated for accreditation every 3 years with 3-6 months for self-study and on-site validation visits by representatives of the appropritates agencies for 1-2 days. Evaluation results are should be used by institution personnel as a guide to self-supervision, by government officials as a funding standard and by parents as criteria of program quality. Essential accreditation standards included: facilities and equipment; curriculum; nutrition, health and safety; administration and management; and support systems. Safety and teacher-child interactions were most highly rated while parent involvement was not highly rated.

Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a refugee education program for early childhood and apply it in daycare center settings to examine the reactions of children aged 5. Methods: Referring to Kemmis and McTaggart(1988) action research model, the refugee education program recommended by UNHCR, and linking it with the national Nuri-curriculum in Korea, a total of five sessions of a refugee education program for early childhood were developed and applied to 20 children aged 5. Results: The application of the preschool refugee education program resulted in positive changes in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects. These changes provided opportunities for early childhood to practice respect towards others, fostering a broader understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures. Conclusion/Implications: This study holds significance in contributing to the discourse on the necessity and direction of refugee education through the development and application of a refugee education program for early childhood. It is anticipated that this research will stimulate in-depth discussions on educational approaches that foster early childhood interest in global issues and cultivate a sense of global citizenship and attitude in the future.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a documentation model that can support early chlildhood learning through play and facilitate the implementation of early childhood and play-oriented curriculum. Methods: This study utilized the design and development research methodology to derive components for the model through literature review and investigation research. In addition, the model was gradually improved through the 3rd expert review, and the validity of the model was verified through usability evaluation with 10 early childhood teachers. Results: This study identified 13 components and developed a flexible, selective, repetitive, and cyclic documentation model based on the 2019 revised Nuri curriculum. Model development is embodied and presented as a model-detailed model-detailed content. The model is presented in detail in the study. Conclusion/Implications: The documentation model developed in this study is expected to provide guidance to early childhood teachers and serve as a basis for future research on documentation in early childhood education. It is expected that it will be able to present the practical direction of records for play support for teachers in the field.
