In this study, 197 4- to 6- year-old Korean children wereindividually tested with Concepts about Print(CAP Clay, 2000), the Picture Vocabulary Test(Kim, Jang, Lim & Bak, 1996), Korean-Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence : Verbal Test (K-WPPSI), and the Basic Academy Skills Assessment : Reading(Kim, 2000). Data were analyzed by Pearson-correlation, analysis of variance, and factor analysis. There were significant differences of CAP mean scores by age. Within the subcategories of CAP, Book Orientation Concepts and Print-convention were acquired earlier than other subcategories, followed by Print-direction, Print-order and Advanced Print Concepts in that order. The scores of CAP were positively correlated with the Picture Vocabulary Test, the K-WPPSI verbal test and the reading test.

This study was conducted to better understand the effect of the classroom literacy environment on the young children's vocabulary abilities, and the concepts of print matter. The subjects consisted of 276 children aged 3 to 5 enrolled in 93 classrooms in child-care centers and kindergartens. The Early Language & Literacy Classroom Observation Pre-K (Smith, Brady, & Anastasopoulos, 2008), the Picture Vocabulary Test (Kim, Jang, Yim, & Bae, 1995) and the Concepts About Print (Kim & Kim, 2004) were used for the purposes of this study. The data collected were analyzed by means of ANOVA, and regression analysis. The results indicated that the vocabulary abilities and print-concepts of children aged 3-5 were more likely to increase when a rich classroom environment was provided for the children's literacy development. In particular, it was found to be important for children's language and Literacy development to provide them with an enriched 'language environment' within the classroom, the quality of 'books and book reading', and the active utilization of 'print and early writing' all being important elements of this.

Relationships between parents' home literacy attitudes in low-income families and children's emergent literacy were studied with 107 children 4- and 5-years of age and their parents. Instruments were Kim and Kwon's (2006) questionnaire about parents' literacy attitudes, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised(Kim et al., 1995) and the Concepts About Print(CAP; Kim & Kim, 2004). Results showed that parents of younger children were positive about reading books; parents of older children were positive about reading instruction. More positive parental feelings about reading and higher frequencies of reading with the child were related to children's higher vocabulary scores. Children's CAP was positively related with amount of parents' reading instruction, home literacy resources, and number of child's books in the home.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of picture book reading intervention activities on language development of low-income children. The subjects were 60 children in low-income families, aged 5, selected from 24 child care centers located in three cities nearby Seoul, South Korea. The experimental group had received intervention program for 8 weeks, two days a week, and three teachers conducted the intervention program for 30 to 40 minutes for each session. The intervention program was administered to the children with picture book reading activities in the first session, followed by providing more extensive activities in the second session. Afterwards, the study allowed the children to take one picture book to read at home. To evaluate the effect of the picture book reading intervention program, this study utilized instruments called the Preschool Receptive-Expressive Language Scale and the Concepts about Print. Significant differences found between the two groups. The experimental group showed higher scores compared with the control group in the post-test of expressive language development. Also, children in the experimental group showed a significant increase in the concepts about print after the intervention program was administered. In conclusion, findings indicate several changes in positive outcomes after implementation of the picture book reading intervention program.

For this study, the questionnaire was adminisered to 261 teachers and data were analyzed by using ANOVA, Regression and Pearson's Correlations. The results were as follows. 1. Print-oriented group had a positive attitude about fashion and they tended to place value on aesthetic and other-oriented criteria in selecting apparel. 2. Audio-visual oriented group had a strongly positive attitude about fashion but they tended to be less active toward buying fashion products and place much more value on other-oriented criteria in selecting apparel. 3. Store intensive group tended to be active toward buying fashion products. They had a positive attitude about fashion and placed value on aesthetic criteria in selecting apparel. 4. Pal advice group had a less positive attitude about fashion and tended to place value on economical and practical criteria in selecting apparel.

To examine relationships between learning-related social skills(LRSS) and literacy development a sample of 167 children aged 5-6 years were selected from 3 preschools in Seoul. Instruments for measuring LRSS were the cooperation, assertion, and self-control scales of the Social Skills Rating System (Gresham & Elliott, 1990) and the mastery behaviors scales of the Child Behavior Rating Scale (Bronson, et al. 1990). Literacy development was measured by the Concepts about Print(Woon, 1999), the Learning Readiness Scale(Korean Educational Development Institution 1998), and the Writing Development Scale(Lee, 1997). Teachers rated children's LRSS. Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, t-test, bivariate correlation, and regression analysis. LRSS correlated with children's literacy development. Mastery behaviors were the best predictor of literacy development.

본 연구는 예비 과학 교사들이 보유한 선호 기피하는 과학 교사에 대한 이미지를 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 대구시 소재 경북대학교에 재학 중인 예비 교사 316명을 대상으로 중 고등학교에서 경험한 가장 기억에 남는 선호 기피하는 과학 교사에 대한 이미지에 대해 자유로운 형식으로 서술하도록 하였다. 그 결과 과학 수업 상황, 과학 교사의 이미지의 2가지 영역으로 범주화할 수 있었으며 각각은 다시 세부 영역으로 나누어졌다. 먼저, 과학 수업 상황에서 선호하는 수업 형태는 실험, 관찰, 체험, 관측이었으며 기피하는 것은 문답법이었다. 수업자료로는 프린트, 학습지, 보고서 등의 인쇄 매체를 선호하며 판서자료(칠판)를 기피하는 것으로 드러났다. 그리고 교과지도 방법으로는 이론, 개념 중심으로 지도하는 것을 선호하며 일방적인 암기나 문제 풀이는 기피하였다. 교과 내용 설명방식으로는 상세하게 체계적으로 설명하는 것을 선호하는 반면 설명 부족, 학생을 이해시키지 못하는 방식을 기피하였다. 또한 화기애애, 자유롭게 공부할 수 있는 수업 분위기가 되기를 바라는 예비 과학 교사들이 많았고 딱딱, 지루, 조용한 학습 분위기를 기피하는 경향을 보였다. 둘째, 과학 교사의 이미지에서는 교사의 자질로 인격과 의견을 존중할 줄 아는 자상하고 배려심 깊은 선생님을 선호하고 있었고 반대로 학생에게 신경 쓰지 않고 학생을 인격적으로 무시하는 선생님을 가장 싫어하였다. 교사의 특성 면에서는 맑고 씩씩한 목소리와 밝은 표정, 온화한 표정을 선호하고 튀는 외모와 딱딱한 스타일을 싫어하였다. 이 연구결과에 기초하여 교사의 이미지에 대한 연구가 실증적으로 이루어질 필요가 있으며 선호하거나 기피하는 교사의 이미지는 교육 행정가, 학생, 학부모, 교사 등에 따라 달라질 수 있으므로 이들의 의견을 종합하여 비교하는 연구가 이루어져야 한다.
