The present study examined multicultural family children's articulation accuracy and phonological process using Assessment of Phonology and Articulation for Children(APAC), and compared them with normally developing children. The subjects of this study were 24 multicultural family children between ages 3 years, 6 months and 3 years, 11 months. The multicultural family children's articulation accuracy was significantly lower than the normally developing children's. In case of the normally developing children, phonological processes the multicultural family children showed were observed at a younger age and did not appear at the age of the children participating in this study. The Japanese multicultural family children and the non Japanese multicultural family children showed different rate of the changes. This result shows that articulation development in the multicultural family children may be different among them according to the classification and that the children's error patterns are related to their mothers' native language. The results of this study are proposed to be applicable to articulation assessment and treatment.

이 연구는 다문화 아동의 발달수준 및 어린이집 부적응행동 실태를 확인하기 위하여 경기도 김포시와 안산시에 소재한 34개 어린이집에 재원 중인 만 3-5세의 다문화 아동과 일반 아동 203명을 대상으로 WSS 발달적 체크리스트와 유아교육기관 생활적응행동검사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 다문화 아동이 일반 아동에 비하여 인성 및 사회성, 언어 및 읽고 쓰기 영역에서 발달수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났으나 수리적 사고와 과학적 사고 발달에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 연령별로는 3세에서는 다문화 아동과 일반 아동 간 발달의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으나 4세와 5세에서는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 다문화 아동과 일반 아동의 어린이집 부적응행동 수준에는 차이가 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 하위영역별로 어린이집 적응 수준을 살펴보면 다문화 아동이 일반 아동에 비하여 또래협력 항목에서는 적응수준이 낮게 나타났으나 개인사회기술과 환경적응, 활동적응 영역에서는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 아동의 발달과 어린이집 부적응행동의 관계를 살펴본 결과 아동의 발달 수준이 낮을수록 어린이집에 부적응하는 것으로 나타났으며, 발달 영역 중 '인성 및 사회성'영역의 발달이 아동의 어린이집 부적응행동을 가장 잘 예측해주는 변인인 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate factors affecting health behaviors in late school-aged children from multicultural families. Methods: This study included 401 children (112 from multicultural families and 289 from non-multicultural backgrounds) in grades 4~6 in 11 elementary schools. Data on health behaviors and related factors (school adjustment, the mother-child relationship, self-efficacy, etc.) were collected from the children using self-reported questionnaires between May and June in 2019. The collected data were analyzed through a univariate analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results: The health behavior score of multicultural children was lower than that of non-multicultural children (t=3.32, p=.001). In multicultural children, school adjustment (β=.55, p<.001), mother-child relationship (β=.25, p=.001), and perceived health status (very healthy=1; β=.19, p=.011) were significant factors affecting their health behavior and explained 47.0% (F=30.93, p<.001) of the variance. Conclusion: Multicultural late school-aged children are at risk to engage in a lower level of health behaviors than their non-multicultural counterparts. More attention should be paid to ways of improving multicultural children's perceptions of their health status, maternal relationships, and school adjustment in order to promote health behaviors.

Maternal interaction behavior, language input and children's language of 34 multicultural families were compared with those of ordinary families. MLU's of multicultural mothers and their children were shorter than those of ordinary Korean mothers and children. Positive maternal interaction behaviors of multicultural mothers were significantly lower than those of ordinary mothers. Correlational analyses revealed that there were positive correlations among maternal interaction behaviors, mother's MLU and children' MLU in multicultural families. However, there were no such correlations in ordinary families. Findings suggest language education and support for multicultural mothers be an effective policy for their children's language development.

The purpose of this study was to investigate diversity in the situations of multicultural families regarding the education of their children and to suggest rational ways of educating children in multicultural families. The participants in this study were 16 mothers from multicultural families typically characterized by an international marriage in which a Korean male had married a non-Korean female. The data were collected using intensive interviews over a course of three months and were analyzed by grounded theory. The results of this study showed that the participants had difficulty in adapting to the styles of educating children in Korean families and that they could not help their children do homework by themselves due to the limited personal relationships, the shortage of information about educating children, and an lack of organized education programs on Korean culture and history. Thus, they solved these problems by depending on different extracurricular activities and thus incurred a financial burden to support these activities. This led to excessive amounts of time and energy to earn the money to support the activities, which gave them few opportunities to acquire information on educating children by, for example, meeting with others. This explained their dependency on different extracurricular activities so as to solve the problem of their educating children. In an effort to seek ways to break this vicious circle, this study emphasized that policies related to educating children in multicultural families should focus on helping multicultural families strengthen their abilities to educate their children fundamentally.
