The purpose of this study is to examine current situations about and factors related to expenditures of private education among pre-school children and to provide policy implications useful for future pre-school children education. The subjects of the study were parents of pre-school children under seven years of age, who lived in Seoul and Incheon area. The survey was conducted using parent questionnaire. The major findings of the study are: First, 86.8% of parents of pre-school children use private education and the average expenditure on it was 154, 446 won. Second, major factors determining their private education expenditure are educational level of parents, parents' job characteristics, household income, and region. Third, the most important reason for using private education among parents is to improve and excel in academic performance of their children. Forth, the higher the parents' expected returns from private education are, the higher the expenditure level of private education is. Fitth, the results of the logistic regressions showed that parents' attitudes toward private education was the most important factor in determining household economic burden associated with private education. The odds were 5 times greater for the parent group with strong desire for private education than for the parent group without it and 1.2 times greater for the parent group with high-expected returns from private education than the parent group without it. In conclusion, systematic, universal educational policies need to be developed to provide and support all the parents with pre-school children, given that their current economic burden is substantial. By providing such support, we can help parents focus on public education. This study examining current situations about and determining factors related to private education expenditures among pre-school children collected data limiting only Seoul and Inchoen area, therefore, future studies need to include data collected nationwide for generalizability of the findings. As well, development of more elaborated survey instruments and analytical methods would advance our understanding in the field.

본 연구는 예비부모를 위한 부모역할 및 자녀관에 대한 인식을 알아보고, 예비부모 교육에 대한 기회를 제공하여 예비부모교육의 필요성을 제시하는데 목적을 갖고, J시 소재 J대학교에 재학 중인 23세의 미혼남여 200명을 대상으로 2011.10.4~7까지 설문조사를 하였는데 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전반적인 양육 및 부모역할에 대한 인식을 분석한 결과 '양육', '부모역할' 순으로 나타났으며, 여성이나 핵가족 및 확대가족인 경우, 대학 교양 과목에서 예비부모 교육에 대해 비교적 필요성을 많이 느끼는 대상자일수록 전반적인 양육 및 부모역할과 하위요인별 양육에 대한 인식이 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 전반적인 자녀관에 대한 인식을 분석한 결과 '자녀계획', '임신과 출산' 순으로 나타났으며, 결혼 및 자녀계획이 있는 경우나 대학 교양 과목에서 예비부모 교육에 대해 비교적 필요성을 많이 느끼는 대상자일수록 상대적으로 전반적인 자녀관과 하위요인별 자녀계획, 임신과 출산에 대한 인식이 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과 20~30대 예비부모의 부모역할과 자녀관에 대한 인식이 남성에 비해 여성이 더 긍정적이고, 편부모가족에 비해 핵가족이나 확대가족이 더 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 결과는 갈수록 축소되고 출산율이 낮아지는 사회적 현실 속에 예비부모에 대한 성장환경에 따라 부모역할과 자녀관이 다름을 확인시켜 준 것이라 할 수 있다.

This study aimed to identify ways to implement pre-parent education for adolescents in regular classes at school. This was achieved by investigating whether the contents of the 2015 revised curriculum high-school technology and home economics textbooks reflected the goals of pre-parent education. The main texts and activities of chapters with 'preparing for parenthood' in the title from 12 high-school technology and home economics education textbooks were analyzed with respect to the three pre-parent education goals of developing perceptions and attitudes toward parenthood, learning parenting knowledge and skills, and reinforcing parental capacity. The results were as follows. First, textbook contents and activities reflected the three goals of pre-parent education in a balanced manner. Second, both the contents and activities of textbooks tried to motivate students to perceive parenthood and parenting through reflection on their relationship with their own parents. Third, because the textbooks encouraged students to consider parenthood and parenting, they acknowledged the importance of undertaking pre-parent education to reinforce their parental capacities. Using such textbooks in regular technology and home economics classes is expected to provide students with an opportunity to consider parenthood and shape their perceptions and attitudes accordingly, thereby allowing adolescents to prepare themselves for parenthood and become good parents.

Objective: This study attempted to verify the effectiveness of parent education programs which emphasize parents' direct interaction with young children even when using digital devices. For this purpose, parents' play beliefs and their interaction with their children were evaluated by taking a pre-test and post-test. Methods: The subjects of this study were parents of young children attending child care centers. The collected data were analyzed by one-way covariate analysis (ANCOVA) to find out if there was a significant difference in post-test scores after controlling the pre-test as a covariate to minimize possible errors between groups before the experiment. Results: Parents, who had participated in the parent education program which emphasized parents' direct interaction with young children when using digital devices, showed higher increases of play support beliefs and parent-child interaction than the comparative group. Conclusion/Implications: This study confirmed that in order to develop digital fluency from early childhood, parents should avoid indiscriminate use of digital devices at home, maintain direct interaction with their children even when giving them digital devices to play with, and support healthy growth by way of continuing sensitive interaction with their children.
