본 연구의 목적은 여성의 유치원 보육시설 및 사교육 선택 유형을 분석하는데 있다. 이를 위해 여성가족패널자료(KLoWF)중에서, 만2세 이상 만6세 이하의 유아를 두고 있는 여성 1,810명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 유아대상 교육기관은 크게 세 가지(유치원, 보육시설, 사교육)로 구분하고 각각의 기관에 유아를 보내는 여성의 특성에 따른 관련성을 밝히고자 하였다. 자료분석 결과 유아연령이 어릴수록 보육시설만을 이용하는 비율이 높고, 연령이 높을수록 유치원만 이용하는 비율이 높게 나타났다. 유치원 보육시설 및 사교육의 중복선택은, 만6세에서 유치원과 사교육 함께 이용하는 항목이 가장 높게 나타났다. 사교육과 유치원, 보육시설을 병행하는 비율은 연령이 높을수록 증가하나, 사교육을 병행하는 비율이 유치원과 보육시설만 이용하는 비율보다는 낮게 나타났다. 일자리유무와 일자리 유형에 관계없이 모두 보육시설을 이용하는 비율이 높게 나타났다. 연구의 제한점과 추후 연구가 제시되었다.

The objective of this study was to examine multicultural family children's adjustment process to kindergarten and differences in their adjustment among time points. For these purpose, we conducted interviews and a questionnaire survey with teachers in charge of 3-5-year-old young children from multicultural families at public and private kindergartens in Gwangju, Jeollanamdo and Daejeon. According to the results of this study, multicultural family children adjusted themselves to kindergarten through four weeks' daily life in the kindergarten. In daily work adjustment, they showed some difficulty in Week 2 but their adjustment improved rapidly in Week 3 and Week 4. Self adjustment and peer adjustment also improved notably in Week 3 and Week 4. In pro-social adjustment, the children showed difficulty in Week 2, improvement in Week 3, and again difficulty in Week 4. These results suggest that, by responding to the teacher's sensitivity and intimacy, young children in multicultural families have a pattern of adjustment similar to that of young children in Korea families.

This study was conducted based on the fact that children in institutions for early childhood education located in cities lack the opportunity to experience nature. Therefore, urban parks are where it is possible to observe nature and natural environment, through which we examined the effects of nature activities on kindergarten children's curiosity and scientific problem-solving ability. The subjects of this study were 5-years old kindergarten children in attending public kindergartens in Cheonan and Asan and 42 children were randomly selected. The pretest and posttest were conducted on curiosity and scientific problem-solving ability before and after nature activities. The results showed that nature activities in urban parks had significant effects on improvement of kindergarten children's curiosity and scientific problem-solving ability (p <.05). Therefore, nature activities in urban parks had positive effects on preference for unknown and exploratory behavior, which are sub-factors of kindergarten children's curiosity. Nature activities also had positive effects on discovery and statement of the problem, creation and application of ideas, and conclusion to problem solving.
