Objectives : This study is to investigate factors that predispose the oral health education patterns of teachers at preschool institutions such as kindergartens and day nurseries, for which a comparison was made among the patterns, whereto the PRECEDE model was applied. Methods : A survey was conducted by two visits, a preliminary survey and a main survey, and teachers at the foregoing institutions personally filled in the questionnaire. Results : 1. With relation to epidemiological and social diagnosis, the largest number of respondents (53.7%) agreed on the need for oral health education, but at the same time, the largest number of respondents (40.3%) was unsatisfactory with oral health education given by them. 2. With relation to behavioral diagnosis, there were many cases where respondents taught their students to brush their teeth after meals and snacks. Oral health education was focused on safety and injuries. There was no significant intergroup difference (p>0.05). 3. Predisposing factors (a subcategory of educational diagnosis) showed the following results: As for the frequency of oral health education, most respondents at both institutions answered preferred once every six month (p>0.05). In the case of oral health checkup, 75.4% of respondents at kindergartens preferred once a year. 72.2% of respondents at day nurseries preferred the same frequency. They showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). In enabling factors, it was found that most respondents at both institutions collected information and teaching materials from mass media and public health centers respectively. In enabling factors, insufficient teaching materials, media and knowledge were found to be obstacles to oral health education. Conclusions : Oral healthcare providers' cooperation is required to diversify away from tooth brushing-centered education and to enrich oral health education. In addition, continuous supplements are required to make teachers at preschool institutions acquire expert knowledge and give oral health education with confidence. Moreover, it needs to train them for various education programs as well as to support them with educational media. Lastly, family members' cooperation is required to develop oral health education programs.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the counseling services in elementary school, to analyze counseling needs and the degree of distress or worry, and to provide desirable for counseling. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the questionnaire as a research tool was used for the respondents, 476 elementary school students in Jeollabukdo. The results were as follows: First, there is a shortage of counseling or its guidance, an experienced counselor, and room for the students. Most of the counseling was taken place only when home room teacher thinks counseling is needed. Second, the students wanted a counselor to listen and understand their problems, preferred women teacher as a counselor, and needed personal advice after class. Third, the degree of worry was higher on female students with siblings, single father, Grade 6, and the low scores. Fourth, each area of worry of the elementary school students showed a positive correlation. The results of this study showed that it is needed to reexamine the administrative and institutional contents and develop a variety of counseling program in order to put the counseling in the elementary school to practical use.

This study seeks to examine current status and issues on primary education environment and teachers in Cambodia, a country that has a poor education environment and low educational achievement I analysed the features and limitation of education. Major findings revealed the primary school students' low accessibility on education and poor competencies and qualification of primary school teachers, which have hindered a quality of education in Cambodia. Central implications were produced to improve the quality of education and training system for primary school teachers. First, sustainability should be embedded from the initial design to the performance evaluation of the projects. Second, we should carry forward a customized training project that can meet the needs of primary school teachers in Cambodia. Third, the Education ODA project should be institutionalized into the national mechanism of the credit accreditation system, including the incentives of participating. Fourth, in-service training should ensure the inclusiveness and accessibility for the disadvantaged in remote areas. Fifth, short-term workshops for teachers should be avoided, but intensive programs including mentoring should be expanded. Finally, we should support the establishment of autonomous teacher- learning communities based on school level across the Cambodia, which could establish the social capital of the teaching profession in a long term.

Globalization brings changes to universities in particular facilitating internationalizing students exchange and curriculum diversification. Such efforts are relatively weak in education college even though the demands are high in students' global learning expectations internally and educational development cooperation from developing countries. The demands of global education arise from the increase of multi-cultural family, the compelling foreign language proficiency and others. The demands of development cooperation arise from the contribution of education to the rapid economic development. However, Korean participation focuses on vocational training which is far from the international norm of basic education provision and carried out without enough educational specialists. Global education and teaching practices in developing countries would substantiate the internationalization of education college while the effectiveness of educational development cooperation would be enhanced after learning the international norms and local knowledge which are learnt from the global education including foreign school practices.

The name as the protective institution has to be changed into the health room. And the room for rest cure, dressing room, counselling room and the room for the health education should be equipped with the inside of health room 3 The nursing teacher as a health teacher has to carry out the health class at a health room. 4 It was required that the principal and the Ministry of Education should be highly interested in the health of school In particular, the advice for instructing expert agents about the health and the cooperation of the principal was urgently demanded.

본 연구는 D시와 G시에 소재한 어린이집 13기관에 재원 중인 영아 238명과 해당 영아의 어머니와 아버지 각 238명, 담임교사 45명(총 45학급)을 대상으로 영아의 기질과 어린이집 적응 변인이 교사의 직무만족과 교사-영아 관계에 어떠한 직 간접적인 영향력을 갖는지를 알아보고자 구조방정식 모형을 통해 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 영아의 기질이 교사의 직무만족에 의해 매개되어 교사-영아관계에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 영아의 어린이집 적응 또한 직무만족에 의해 매개되어 교사-영아관계에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 교사의 직무만족은 교사-영아관계에 영향을 미치는 영아의 기질과 어린이집 적응, 두 잠재 변인 간의 매개 변인이다. 특히 영아의 기질은 교사의 직무만족과 교사-영아관계에 미치는 영향력이 영아의 어린이집 적응보다 크게 나타났으며, 영아-교사관계에는 기질이나 적응이 미치는 직접효과가 직무만족을 매개로한 간접효과보다 크게 작용하고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 영아와 교사관계에 있어서 영아의 기질변인이 중요함을 드러내준다. 그러므로 본 연구는 다양한 변인간의 관계를 규명함으로서 영아 연구 범위의 폭을 확장하였다는 의의가 있다.

This study examined the needs analysis of school-based staff development at the elementary school level in rural areas of Kyungki and Chungnam provinces. Using a modified survey, the Korean School-based Staff Development Needs Assessment Survey (KSSDNAS), adapted from the Teacher Needs Assessment Survey (TNAS) developed by Gary M. Ingersoll et al. and the Korean Teacher Needs Assessment Survey (KTNAS) developed by K. Chung, the study analyzed 192 teachers' responses. In order to analyze the data, frequency, factor analysis, cross-tabulation, and one-way ANOVA were computed. The findings of this study indicated that there were significant differences between years of teaching experience and the teachers' perceptions of school-based staff development needs. These involved "building learning objective and learning group "and" cooperation of classroom management and students' activity". However, elementary school teachers' perceptions of their school-based staff development needs were not significantly influenced by school size or school location. Most of all, it may be suggested that active teachers can improve the achievement of their rural schools by rearrangement of the subject contents and by understanding their students in rural areas.
