Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among mothers' play beliefs, children's gender and home play frequency, and their preferences for three types of play. Methods: Totally 256 mothers of 5-year-olds participated in the survey in metropolitan area. Data were analyzed with t-test, Pearson's correlations, and stepwise multi-regression using SPSS 22.0.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the sequential mediation effects of creative home environment and preschoolers' playfulness on the relationship between mothers' play beliefs and preschoolers' happiness. Methods: The subjects of this study were 233 preschoolers between the ages of 3 and 5 and their mothers. Mothers were asked to complete a questionnaire that assessed their beliefs about play, the creative home environment they provided, as well as their child's playfulness and happiness. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS Process Macro program to investigate the sequential mediating effects. Results: The study found that the mothers' play support beliefs were directly associated with their preschoolers' happiness. Additionally, the creative home environment was found to mediate the relationship between the mother's play beliefs and their preschooler's happiness. The children's playfulness was also identified as a mediator in the relationship between the mother's play beliefs and their preschooler's happiness. Furthermore, the findings of this study indicated that the relationship between the mother's play beliefs and preschoolers' happiness was sequentially mediated by the creative home environment and preschoolers' playfulness. Conclusion/Implications: Findings of this study provide insights into the potential development of a parent education program aimed at modifying mothers' play beliefs and the home environment.

본 연구는 아버지의 놀이신념이 놀이참여를 매개로 유아의 놀이몰입과 또래놀이행동에 미치는 영향력이 어떠한가를 분석해보는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 G시와 J도 소재 유아교육기관의 유아 242명과 그들의 아버지를 연구대상으로 선정하고, 이현지(2016)의 부모놀이신념 척도와 원희영(1998)의 부모 놀이참여 검사, 나은숙(2013)의 유아 놀이몰입 척도와 최혜영, 신혜영(2008)의 또래놀이행동 검사를 활용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 구체적으로 연구목적과 응답방법에 대한 안내지를 포함한 놀이신념과 놀이참여 질문지를 가정에 배부하여 아버지로부터 자료를 수집하였으며, 유아의 놀이몰입과 또래놀이행동은 담임교사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료를 토대로 Hayes(2013)의 PROCESS macro를 활용한 매개모형(mediation model)의 유의성 검증을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 아버지의 놀이신념이 놀이참여를 매개로 유아의 놀이몰입, 또래놀이행동 중 놀이방해, 놀이상호작용에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 아버지의 놀이신념과 놀이참여가 유아의 놀이에 대한 사회 정서적 측면에 직간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있음을 시사한다. 이에 유아의 놀이에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 아버지의 양육역할의 중요성을 강조하였으며, 아버지의 놀이신념이 실제적인 놀이참여에 영향을 미침으로써 유아의 놀이만족과 건강한 놀이행동을 유도할 수 있음을 고려하여 이들 변인을 긍정적으로 강화할 필요가 있음을 논의하였다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderate effect of the physical environmental-level between infant teachers' positive play beliefs and teacher-infant interaction. Methods: The subjects of this study were 483 teachers in charge of one-year-old and two-year-old infants in child care centers located in metropolitan areas. The data were collected by asking the teachers to respond to a questionnaire and the data collected were analyzed through correlation and hierarchical multi- regression analysis. Results: First, the positive play beliefs of the infant teacher, the physical environment level, and the teacher-infant interaction showed significant proportional correlations. Second, the physical environment level moderated the influence of the teacher's positive play beliefs on teacher-infant interaction. In particular, results showed that functional interior space configuration, outdoor playground composition and facilities among the sub-variables of the physical environment level had a moderating effect. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study show that teachers with positive play beliefs have positive teacher-infant interaction when there is sufficient space available for infants and teachers. This indicates that the human and physical environments of child care centers can promote teacher-child interaction.

이 연구는 놀이가 영유아의 발달과 학습에서 차지하는 의미와 중요성에 비추어볼 때 교사의 문제행동지도를 놀이지도와의 관련성속에서 탐색해보는 것이 필요하다는 문제의식에 기초하여 교사의 놀이성, 놀이신념, 놀이교수효능감과 문제행동지도과의 관계를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울시와 충청남도에 근무하는 어린이집 교사 151명을 대상으로 교사의 놀이성과 문제행동지도전략, 놀이신념과 문제행동지도전략의 관계를 살펴보고, 이들 관계에 놀이교수효능감이 매개역할을 하는지 알아보았다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교사 놀이성은 예방적 문제행동지도전략과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략에 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 놀이신념은 예방적 문제행동지도전략과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략에 정적 영향을 미쳤고, 부정적 문제행동지도전략에는 부적 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째 교사의 놀이성과 놀이신념은 매개변인인 놀이교수효능감에 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 교사의 놀이교수 효능감은 놀이성과 예방적 문제행동지도전략 간의 관계, 놀이성과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략 간의 관계를 매개하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of playfulness, play support beliefs and parenting stress on intimate parenting in the mothers of young children by maternal employment. In order to achieve this, 405 mothers of young children, aged 3-5 years old, participated in a self-reported survey. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics using SPSS 19.0 and structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis using AMOS 21.0. The results of this study showed that the mothers' support beliefs and parenting stress mediated both playfulness and intimate parenting irrespective of maternal employment. Interestingly, the unemployed mothers' playfulness had direct effects on intimate parenting whereas the playfulness of the employed mothers did not. Lastly, the effects of the mothers' play support beliefs, playfulness, and parenting stress on intimate parenting did not differ between employed and unemployed mothers.
