This study investigated children's interests in learning English, affected by educational activities in and out of institutes, and mothers' perceptions regarding early childhood English education. We recruited, 253 mothers of 3- to 5-year-old children in either general kindergartens or English immersion institutes. They answered questions on socioeconomic status, perceived interest in English by their children, their perceptions regarding early childhood English education, and English education outside institutes. In addition, 42 English teachers provided information within institutes such as class time per week, teacher-pupil rate, and language use policy during class. The collected data were analyzed through SPSS 22 for frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The major findings are as follows. First, the two groups were in distinct learning environment. Second, mothers' perceptions and outside-institute activities were significantly different between the two groups. Third, the English interests of children at both institutes were influenced by mothers' worries and at-home English interactions. Fourth, education within institutes did not affect both group's English interests. Fifth, private education and socioeconomic status did not affect both group's English interests. Lastly, only the children's interests in English immersion institutes were affected by gender and mother's perceived necessities. Focusing children's interests, this study helps in understanding young children's affective aspects regarding learning English. The findings are expected to be a guideline for each home and institute to increase children's interest in learning English.

This study examines the mediation effect of teacher-child interactions in the process of the impact of teacher's teaching-efficacy on childhood education institutions and classroom environment on peer-play interactions. We used data from 970 children aged between 49 and 55 months and 970 homeroom teachers from the fifth Korean Child Panel (2012) of the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. The model fitness was excellent after data were statistically analyzed with model of structure to testify the relationship and effect among teaching efficacy, classroom environment, teacher-child interactions, and peer-play interactions. First, the analysis also showed that the teacher's teaching efficacy did not influence peer-play interactions directly, but gave an indirect effect on the peer-play interactions with the mediation of the teacher-child interactions. Second, the classroom environment directly and indirectly influenced the peer-play interactions with the mediation of the teacher-child interactions. Third, the variable of teacher-child interactions was fully effective as a mediating variable in the process of the teaching efficacy and classroom environment influence on teacher-child interactions. Teaching efficacy and classroom environment influenced the peer-play interactions through the mediation of the teacher-child interactions. The significance of mediation effect of the teacher-child interactions was verified through a bootstrapping method.

This study was aimed to validate the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating scale (ITERS). The rating scale was translated and adjusted appropriately by two researchers majoring child studies. An item-by-item comparison of the ITERS with criteria of NAEYC was conducted as the measure of content validity. 88% of the items of the ITERS was covered on the NAEYC criteria. Criterion validity was assessed by comparing ITERS scores and the Assessment Profile for early childhood Programs scores. The total correlation of two scores was .87. The sample for the inetrater reliability and internal consistency studies included 30 infant/toddler classes in 30 day care center in Inchon city. Two observers independently rated each class on the ITERS during a single visit. The Spearman's correlation coefficient for interater reliability on the overall scale was .74. For the measure of internal consistency, the Cronbach's Alpha score on the overall scale was .93. The rating results show that national/public child care centers have better quality in Adult Needs and Learning Activities subscales than private child care centers have.

This study examined the relationships between teacher variables that improve the efficacy of the play teaching of infants and toddlers following a play-oriented curriculum. The participants were 287 infant teachers. The results were as follows. First, the independent variables had a significant effect on the efficacy of play teaching, teacher-infant interaction, and classroom environment. Second, the mediating effects of teacher-infant interaction and classroom environment on the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching were as follows. The interaction mediating effect between professionalism and play belief was significant, but teaching creativity was found to be significant. In the mediating effect of the classroom environment, expertise, play belief, and teaching creativity were found to be significant. Third, both teacher-infant interaction and the multimedia effect of the classroom environment were statistically significant in mediating the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching. These results provide basic data on the necessity for teacher education to explore ways to improve teachers' sense of efficacy in teaching play and their teaching skills.

홈 네트워킹(Home Networking)이란 유무선 네트워크 기반 하에서 가정 내 정보기기에 의한 상호 네트워크를 구축하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 다시 말해서 홈이라는 공간적 틀 안에서 이용되어지는 정보가전 기기들이 유무선 네트워크를 통해 서로 네트워크를 구성하여 상호 접속하게 하고 외부의 인터넷 엑세스에 대해서 상호 허용하고 통신하는 환경을 구축하는 것을 의미한다고 할 수 있다. 이를 기반으로 스마트 홈이라 함은 홈네트워킹기반의 가정환경에서 인간으로 하여금 자동화된 통신서비스를 사용할 수 있게 하는 주택이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한, 홈네트워킹 기반의 스마트 홈은 u-city와 같은 미래 converged 주거공간에 대한 개념적 게이트웨이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 단순한 기능의 댁내 홈서비스 제어 환경이 홈오토메이션형태로 진화하고 현재와 같이 통신 네트워크 환경 기반의 최첨단을 확보한 인텔리전트 생활환경에서의 스마트홈네트워크 서비스는 IT의 발달에 따른 일반화된 서비스의 형상으로 우리의 삶에 공존하고 있다. 그러나 기술진화의 빠른 속도에 따른 공급자 위주의 서비스출시는 IT서비스 소외계층은 물론, 소위, early-adaptor라 하는 IT 선도계층에 까지 그 기술의 우수성과 선행성에도 불구하고 일정 부분 그 가치를 인정받지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이에 본 논문은 첨단 스마트홈서비스의 바람직한 요구 및 기대사항에 대해서 고민하여 바람직한 IT소외계층을 목표로 한 서비스 모델에 대해 논하고자 한다.
