인류의 발전을 주도해 온 과학기술이 만들어낸 자연고갈과 기후변화, 이로 야기되는 경제적 불평등과 빈곤 등의 문제를 해결하고 자연과 인간의 조화를 이루기 위해서는 유아기부터 지속가능발전을 지향하는 과학교육이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지속가능발전지향 교육의 본질과 유아과학교육의 실천방향에 대해 고찰하여 지속가능발전지향 유아과학교육의 의미에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 이러한 목적을 위하여 관련 전문가 18명과 유아교사 15명을 대상으로 지속가능발전의 의미와 지속가능발전지향 유아과학교육의 실천방향에 대해 심층 면접을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 지속가능발전 지향 유아과학교육은 '유아-교사-생명체간 상호존중', '개별 탐구 기반 공동체 의식 함양', '유아의 눈으로 세상 바라보기', '관심 주제에 대한 심화와 확장', '지속적 탐구와 몰입', '대화와 공유 중심 탐구'로 범주화 되었다. 결론적으로 지속가능발전 지향 유아과학교육은 유아가 관심 있는 주제로부터 출발하여 상호 존중의 탐구 경험을 통해 자신을 둘러싼 자연에 대해 지속적으로 알아가는 과정이라고 볼 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze theories of curriculum development in an attempt to develop a systematic early childhood oral health curriculum that would be the basis of the lifelong oral health of preschoolers. The findings of the study were as follows; 1. The current kindergarten curriculum just stated that kindergarteners should keep their teeth clean, and no systematic guidelines on what to teach were included. That was hardly expected to provide efficient education on oral health promotion. 2. Preschoolers, teachers and parents were investigated to find out learner needs, and educational objects and what to teach were selected based on their needs and Tyler's Curriculum Development Theory. 3. Most of the early childhood teachers felt the need for oral health education, but faced difficulties in conducting it due to heavy workload. Another reason seemed that they were empowered to provide that education at their option since that was not mandatory. 4. As a result of analyzing the early childhood segments and educational objects of college textbooks on oral health education, every textbook differed from one another. There was a necessity to set up standardized educational objects for early childhood oral health education. 5. Oral health specialists should be involved in the development of early childhood curriculum to ensure the selection of standardized educational objects and contents.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of authentic parental competence and awareness of early childhood educational community on the life satisfaction of mothers with preschoolers depending on mothers' employment status.

Results and Conclusion: The findings of the study were as follows: First, there were positive correlations between authentic parental competence, awareness of early childhood educational community, and life satisfaction, regardless of employment status. Second, comparing employed mothers with unemployed mothers, a common variable affecting life satisfaction was social competence, a sub-variable of authentic parental competence.

Purpose: This study was conducted to define the concept of stress in siblings of childhood cancer patients. Methods: The hybrid model was used to perform the concept analysis of stress in childhood cancer patients' siblings. Through reviews of 16 studies in the theoretical phase and interviews with 20 siblings in the field phase, the derived results were brought together in the integration phase. Results: The concept of stress in siblings of patients with childhood cancer was found to have 6 attributes and 28 indicators in 3 domains. Personal factors included 2 attributes (fear about childhood cancer and immature coping skills), and family factors had 2 attributes (changes in relationships with family and changes in family environment), social factors had 2 attributes (changes in relationships with friends and in the school experience, and insufficient social support). Conclusion: The stress of siblings of childhood cancer patients was defined as a state of tension associated with personal, family, social factors that can be related to their siblings' childhood cancer.

These changes provided opportunities for early childhood to practice respect towards others, fostering a broader understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures. Conclusion/Implications: This study holds significance in contributing to the discourse on the necessity and direction of refugee education through the development and application of a refugee education program for early childhood. It is anticipated that this research will stimulate in-depth discussions on educational approaches that foster early childhood interest in global issues and cultivate a sense of global citizenship and attitude in the future.
