본 연구는 환경교육 경험활동을 통하여 유아들의 환경에 대한 인식의 변화와 그 효과에 대해서 알아보고 그 결과를 토대로 유아들에게 적합한 환경교육 프로그램을 구성하기 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 수행하였다. 연구대상은경북에 소재한 M유치원 학부모 어머니 200명과 그 자녀들 200명으로 유아들에게 환경교육 프로그램을 적용하여 실시한 후 환경적 생활태도 변화를 어머니들이 관찰하여 조사도구에 응답하였다. 환경교육프로그램활동을 실시한 후 결과는 첫째, 유아들의 환경생활태도를 향상시키며, 둘째, 인지능력의 발달에 따라 환경에 관한 지식, 가치정립수준의 변화를 보였다. 다만 그 효과가 단기간에 도출되는 것이 아니므로 지속적 노력이 필요하며 체험적 환경교육이 더욱 유익하였다. 하위영역별 효과를 보면 재활용, 절약, 환경오염방지 순으로 그 효과가 높았으며 성별에 따른 효과는 남아보다 여아가, 만4세아보다는 만6세아가 더 높았다. 본 연구는 환경교육프로그램을 활동이 유아에게 환경 생활태도, 인지능력에 따른 환경관련 지식, 가치정립수준에 미치는 효과를 검증하는 것에 시사하는 바가 크다.

This study examines the level of resource-saving behavior among children and attempts to identify the variables-among socio-demographic, socio-environmental, and consumer attitude variables-that are most influential on this behavior. The research was conducted in 2010, following a preliminary study, and the data was garnered from 500 questionnaires that were distributed to elementary students in Seoul. The data were analyzed using a number of statistical methods, including frequencies, percentiles, means, standard deviation, Cronbach's coefficient, ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis, using SPSS 18.0. The major findings of this study were as follows. First, the average level of resource-saving behavior of children was found to be 3.6 out of 5, indicating relatively rational behavior. Second, the variables that were found to have the greatest influence on children's resource-saving behavior were lower allowance, higher levels of education on the role of consumption, and more active socialization in childhood. Therefore, these variables should be taken into account when teaching children how to establish resource-saving behavior in their daily living.

The purpose of the present study was to assess food hygiene and safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices of food-service personnel in school food-service programs and to find factors affecting their knowledge, attitudes, and practices. A self-administered questionnaire was offered to a random sample of 40 kitchen employees in elementary schools in one region of Korea, with 37 completing the survey, a response rate of 92.5%. The survey was carried out over a two-month period (April-May, 2001). Knowledge score of the employees was high with a mean/standard deviation of 4.75/0.32 on a 5.0-point scale. They had significantly lower attitude score (4.55$\pm$0.33) and practice score (4.55$\pm$0.45) compared to the score of knowledge (p＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that (1) the employees＇ education level and work experience in school food-service programs affected their knowledge, (2) age, level of living, monthly income, and housing type affected their attitudes, and (3) monthly income, level of living, housing type, and work experience in school food-service programs affected their practices. Pearson＇s correlation analysis confirmed that the knowledge and attitude scores were significantly correlated (r=0.598, p＜0.001). The results indicate that the knowledge, attitude, and practice levels of the employees regarding the food hygiene and safety were better than expected, however, the results suggest a need for the adoption of approaches which take account of socio-economic and environmental influences on behavior to improve and maintain their practice level. The food-handling practices of school food-service employees need to be monitored routinely in order to ensure that safe food is served to our school children.
