This study investigated children's interests in learning English, affected by educational activities in and out of institutes, and mothers' perceptions regarding early childhood English education. We recruited, 253 mothers of 3- to 5-year-old children in either general kindergartens or English immersion institutes. They answered questions on socioeconomic status, perceived interest in English by their children, their perceptions regarding early childhood English education, and English education outside institutes. In addition, 42 English teachers provided information within institutes such as class time per week, teacher-pupil rate, and language use policy during class. The collected data were analyzed through SPSS 22 for frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The major findings are as follows. First, the two groups were in distinct learning environment. Second, mothers' perceptions and outside-institute activities were significantly different between the two groups. Third, the English interests of children at both institutes were influenced by mothers' worries and at-home English interactions. Fourth, education within institutes did not affect both group's English interests. Fifth, private education and socioeconomic status did not affect both group's English interests. Lastly, only the children's interests in English immersion institutes were affected by gender and mother's perceived necessities. Focusing children's interests, this study helps in understanding young children's affective aspects regarding learning English. The findings are expected to be a guideline for each home and institute to increase children's interest in learning English.

본 연구는 교육 공공성의 개념적 요소에 비추어 현재 유아교육의 현황을 짚어보고, 향후 유아교육 발전을 위한 정책적 과제들을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. 정부 공식문서, 국책연구기관 보고서를 수집하여 정성적 문헌분석을 실시하였으며, 공공성 구성요소들을 준거로 하여 유아교육의 공공성 수준을 평가하였다. 연구결과 그 동안의 우리나라의 유아교육 정책은 누리과정 도입 등 유아교육의 공공성을 강화하는 방향으로 추진되어 왔다. 공공성의 양적 확대는 이루어졌으나, 이제는 공공성의 질적 강화에 초점을 둔 정책방향의 재설정 및 제도보완이 요구된다. 본 연구는 유아교육 전반에 대한 재검토 방향에 대한 시사점을 제공하였다.

본 연구는 이론적 견해와 현실의 불일치 속에서 점차 확대되어 가는 유아교육기관의 방과 후 특별활동에 대한 의미를 탐색해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 방과 후 특별활동 프로그램이 시행되고 있는 세 곳의 유아교육기관의 수업현장을 관찰하였으며 강사와의 면담을 실시하여 그 의미를 탐색해 보았다. 연구 결과, 유아교육기관에서의 방과 후 특별활동은 유아들에게 '새로움과 즐거움의 공존', '학습으로서의 의미', '다양한 교수 매체 경험'과 정규수업과 다른 현실 속에서 '피할 수 없는 한계'로 분석해 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 앞으로의 질 높은 방과 후 특별활동 교육이 이루어지기 위한 개선 방안으로 정규교육과정과 방과 후 특별활동 과정이 상호보완적 협의와 통합적 접근이 이루어져야하며 나아가 바람직한 방과 후 특별활동 과정을 위하여 수업환경 개선 및 강사의 지속적인 연수와 교육이 요구되어진다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate food service management system and nutrition education of the early childhood education institute in Yongdungpo, Seoul. Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 26 public early childhood education institute and 34 private ones. A majority of the teachers were women over 40 with at least bachelor's degree. Other than the fact that food service provides food to the children, it contributed in providing the essential nutrients to the children, as well as giving them the opportunity to learn table manners. A normal food service would provide one set of lunch and two sets of snacks, which would be provided by the institute itself. In most cases, the director or teachers planned the menus instead of dietitians. Journals, cookbooks, and other information put out by mass communication, such as TV and newspapers, were used as reference to those menus. The factors considered in planning the menus were mainly nutritional balance and the children's food preference. The difficulties in meal management were about the budget and nutritional menu planning. Fifty five percent of the subjects were did nutrition education, and they focused mainly on the table manners and hygiene education but once a year.
