The purpose of this study was to look into trends in research concerned with children's counting in Korea. A total of 59 studies on counting including journal articles, master's & doctoral theses were analyzed in terms of the period of time, content, and research methods. The results showed that 1) ${\frac{1}{3}}$ of the total studies on counting were published in 2001~2005, 2) the most frequent content was the developmental trend of young children's counting ability and then the relation between counting ability and various mathematical competence, 3) most of the studies targeted normal early childhood children from 3~5 years old and used the quantitative method. These results showed that the domestic research on counting have limits in the research topics, subjects, and methodology. The researcher presents three suggestions for further research. Frist, topics that are not enough revealed in the previous studies, for examples, counting backwards, counting by collections such as tens, fives, twos, and counting errors in young children need to be further studied. Second, counting behavior and ability of young children under 3 years olds need to be investigated. Third, there is a need to increase the studies using qualitative methods.

본 연구는 수 과학의 과정중심 통합 활동이 유아들의 과학적 탐구능력과 태도에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고 현장에서의 효율적인 교수학습 및 환경구성을 마련하는데 연구의 목적을 두고 있다. 연구대상은 전라북도 I시에 위치한 W대학 부속 유치원 만3세 만5세 유아 89명을 대상으로 각 연령별 주제를 선정하여(만3세 유아는 알, 콩, 열매, 과자, 만5세 유아는 공룡, 감자, 물, 그림자, 색깔이라는 주제 선정) 수 과학의 과정중심 통합 활동을 실행하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS for Windows 프로그램을 이용하여 대응표본 t검증을 실시하였다. 수 과학의 과정중심 통합 활동을 실시한 결과 과학적 탐구 능력과 과학적 태도를 구성하고 있는 각 하위 요인들이 연령별, 성별로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 수 과학 과정중심 통합 활동이 만3세 5세 유아들에게 긍정적인 영향을 주는 활동임을 시사하고 있다.

The study aimed to compare and analyze Nuri curriculum and contents for mathematics in Korea and the Common Core State Standards(CCSS) and New Jersey Preschool Standards for mathematics in the United States. With the results as basis, this study intended to provide suggestions and directions for improving Nuri curriculum of mathematics for young children. For the goal of this study, educational goals, categories of contents, and specific contents were reviewed. First, results of this study indicated that Nuri curriculum for mathematics provides comprehensive educational goals that promote problem-solving ability in everyday contexts with composing mathematical knowledge. On the contrary, CCSS and Preschool Standards provide specific educational goals that focus on children's mathematical skills and concepts. Second, the contents of both countries' curriculum concentrate on 'counting and cardinality', 'measurement', and 'spatial and geometric sense.' There are 5 categories of CCSS, 4 categories of Preschool Standards based on CCSS and one category of Nuri curriculum for mathematics. Third, there are the differences between the two countries' curriculum in continuity from kindergarten to first grade and description method for curriculum.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are any differences among kindergarten teachers', primary school teachers', and children's mothers's perceptions-belief, knowledge, practice-about the educational articulation between kindergarten and primary school. The results of this study were as follows; First, there were differences among kindergarten teachers, primary school teachers, and mothers about the belief of articulation content. Second, in the knowledge of educational articulation, kindergarten teachers's understandings of the counterpart's curriculum were higher than that of primary school teachers's. Third, in the practice of educational articulation, kindergarten teachers and mothers were focused language and mathematics learning for educational articulation. But primary school teachers were focused school adjustment.

With the development of digital technology and the increasing demand for learning how to improve one's ability to solve problems through play and participation interactions, a variety of edutainment game contents are being developed. The edutainment game contents developed until recently have received a large number of contents for intelligence development and transfer of knowledge such as Korean and English mathematics for children and children. Recently, there have been various researches on the necessity and effect of STEAM education that foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit through the fusion education method among the subjects including science, technology, engineering, mathematics, And there is a growing need for the development of a parish suitable for STEAM education. However, there is a lack of STEAM educational content development that incorporates the technology of creative convergence talent training to develop talented people who can think and solve problems by crossing various academic boundaries. Therefore, this study develops game contents for early childhood education by combining STEAM education which foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit. And we designed and implemented STEAM game contents for infant learning education which can induce the interest of children and have fun by using gyroscope sensor of smartphone.
