In present study, using 1572 low-income families and 266 Head Start teachers from Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) in the U.S., we examined the effects of mothers' reading and the characteristics of interaction between teacher-child interaction on 4-and 5-year-olds' cognitive development represented by their verbal and numerical abilities. Frequencies of mothers' reading at home consistently predicted higher scores of children's Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and Woodcock Johnson Applied Problems. Teachers' sensitivity and permissiveness in their interactions with children in classroom were positively related to children's verbal abilities and teachers' sensitivity predicted better numerical abilities of children after controlling for mothers' reading and the characteristics of family and teacher. The findings shed light on the contributions of teacher behaviors and familial factors to children's cognitive development calling for attention to the need for parent education on cognitively stimulating family environments and continuing education for early childhood teachers focusing on quality interactions with young children.

In this study of intentions and strategies of children's requests and teachers' responses, the subjects were 20 teachers and 610 4- and 5-year-old children in 10 kindergartens. Each teacher wore an audio-recorder and one-to-one interactions between teacher and child were audiotaped during a 40-minute free play session. Children made requests most frequently with the intention of getting attention; they also made requests for the purpose of seeking information. In making requests, children utilized various strategies including direct, indirect, and physical strategies. Furthermore, their strategies were dependent on intention. Teachers most frequently responded to children with the strategy of committed compliance. Results were discussed in terms of roles of active children and responsive teachers in forming and maintaining good teacher-child relationships.

Subjects were 78 12- to 35- month old infants, their mothers, and their teachers. Instruments included the Revised Toddler Temperament Questionnaire(Y. H. Choi 1990) and the Assessment Profile for Early Childhood Programs(M. K. Hong 1997; S. K. Kim 1999). There was no significant difference in perceptions of infant temperament between mothers and teachers. Infant-mother interaction differed by infant temperament in that mothers had high scores with easy infants but low scores with difficult children. On the other hand teachers maintained high interactions with difficult infants in the case of infant's rhythmicity. Infant-teacher interaction correlated with such teacher variables as teacher-infant ratio, teachers' academic backgrounds and working hours.

Examining ways to interact with students in small groups is an important topic for researchers to understand. Existing studies pertaining to the topic have not shed light on knowing why teachers interact with students in small groups the way they do. Given that teacher identity shapes teaching practices, this study explores how teacher identity shapes teachers' interaction with students in small groups. Working with two beginning teachers, I conducted four interviews to collect the data related to reasons behind their interactions with students in small groups in the interview. I analyzed the interview transcripts using a thematic analysis. I found that one teacher's teacher identity was related to her personal experiences as a child and a learner and another teacher's teacher identity was related to her view of teachers' roles as a teacher. I provide discussion and implications of this study.

The purpose of this ethnographic study was to observe and understand interactions of toddlers and teachers in context. Specific questions were "What are the motives and features of the interactions between toddlers and teacher?" Subjects were twenty 2-year-old daycare children and their teachers. Methods covered 11 weeks of interviews and participatory observation. The major findings were that the interactions between toddlers and teachers was mainly initiated by toddlers and consist of physiological and emotional needs, conflict mediation and participation in play. As toddler get to the age of self-recognition but still need adult's assistance, the co-existence of dependence and independence was evident. Children used a variety of verbal and non-verbal signals with both positive and non-positive overtons.

본 연구는 유아의 기질과 또래놀이상호작용의 관련성에서 교사-유아관계의 친밀감과 갈등의 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 경기도 및 인천시 어린이집과 유치원 11곳에 재원 중인 만 4세 유아 606명이다. 교사 보고법을 사용하여 유아의 기질과 또래놀이상호작용 및 교사-유아관계가 측정되었다. 수집된 자료는 상관관계와 위계적 회귀분석을 사용하여 분석되었다. 연구결과를 보면, 의도적 통제와 놀이방해의 관련성에서 교사-유아관계의 친밀감의 유의미한 조절효과가 나타났으며, 교사-유아관계의 친밀감이 높은 경우에는 의도적 통제가 놀이방해에 미치는 영향이 감소되었다. 정서성과 놀이단절의 관련성에서 교사-유아관계 친밀감의 유의미한 조절효과가 나타났으며, 교사유아관계의 친밀감이 낮은 경우에는 정서성이 놀이단절에 미치는 영향이 증가되었다. 또한 정서성과 놀이단절의 관련성에서 교사-유아관계의 갈등은 유의미한 조절효과가 나타났으며, 교사-유아관계의 갈등이 높은 경우에 정서성이 놀이단절에 미치는 영향이 증가되었다. 따라서 또래관계에 어려움이 있는 유아의 경우 기질 뿐만 아니라 교사관계와 같은 환경요인을 함께 고려할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있다.

본 연구는 보육교사들이 반응성 상호작용 전략을 적용을 한 후 영아의 중심축 행동의 발달이 어떠한지 살펴본 사례연구이다. 연구 참여자는 H재단에서 수탁 운영하는 직장어린이집 5곳의 만1세 영아 5명과 그들의 담임교사 5명이다. 이 연구에서는 교사-영아 상호작용을 녹화한 동영상, 일화기록, 교사의 반성적 저널, 교사와의 심층면담 자료를 통해 연구대상 영아의 중심축 행동 변화를 분석하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 보육교사의 반응성 상호작용 전략 적용은 영아의 중심축 행동(주의집중, 문제해결, 흥미, 협력, 주도성, 공동주의, 애정)을 긍정적으로 변화시켰다. 이러한 연구결과는 영아를 담당하고 있는 보육교사들이 영아의 중심축 행동 발달을 돕기 위해 반응성 상호작용의 중요성을 인식하고 실천해야 함을 시사한다.

Recently, many childcare centers have actively participated in assessment accreditation. 115 teachers who did participate or did not participate in the accreditation process completed a structured questionnaire, We examined differences between teachers in accredited centers and in non-accredited centers in terms of their individual characteristics, work environment, the utilization of activity materials and the interaction with children. In addition, using the regression model, we analyzed the effects of several characteristics of teachers and childcare center's accreditation on the utilization of activity materials as well as the interactions between teachers and children. The main results of this study are as follows. First, overall, the level of work environment of non-accredited centers was lower than that of accredited centers. Second, compared with teachers in non-accredited centers, teachers in accredited centers used more and higher levels of activity materials, and demonstrated a higher level of interactions with children. Third, including accreditation, use of helpers had a significant effect on the interactions between teacher and children. Forth, not only the accreditation system, but also work hours, work experience, children's age and use of helpers had a significant effect on using materials in childcare activities. Conclusively, understanding the experience of teachers in accredited centers is important hi terms of facilitating the quality of activities and the interactions with children.

Subjects were 88 two-year-old-toddlers(25-36 months of age) and 32 teachers in 13 childcare centers; they were randomly assigned to experimental or control groups. The researcher observed teacher-toddler interaction in the picturebook reading situation. Analysis of patterns of teachers' verbal behavior and coding of toddlers' verbal and nonverbal behaviors were based on Senechal, et al.(1995) and Whitehurst, et al.(1988), respectively. In comparison with the control group, toddlers of the experimental group showed significant differences in verbal behavior; they acquired nouns occurring in the picturebooks and more expressive and comprehensive language. After training intervention, teachers of the experimental group showed changes in quality and quantity of verbal behavior.
