The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between learning-related social skills, early school adjustment, and academic achievement. The sample consisted of 160 first grade children in one elementary school in the city of Ilsan. The teacher rated children's learning-related social skills and early school adjustment. Academic achievement was assessed by scores on Korean language arts and math exams administered at the end of first semester. Learning-related social skills and early school adjustment were correlated with the children's academic achievement. Particularly, the cooperation and mastery behavior of learning-related social skills were strongly associated with the early school adjustment and academic achievement.

This study aims to discover how self-esteem and social competence in early childhood affect school adjustment in elementary school. This study used the 7th year (2014) and 10th year (2017) of the panel study on Korean children, which are longitudinal research data from the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education (KICCE). Pearson's correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used as the main statistical analysis methods. The analysis was performed using the the Spss 21.0 program. As a result of this study, peer acceptance among early childhood's self-esteem, assertion, cooperation, and self-control among social competence have influences on adjustment to elementary school life. This study is meaningful in that it is a longitudinal study conducted with a time difference for 3 years with the same subjects in order to investigate the influence of the inner factors of early childhood on school adjustment in elementary school.

The goal of this study was to examine the correlations of stress coping strategies and cultural, psychological and school adjustment among Korean early study-abroad adolescents in the United States. Participants were 437 Korean early study-abroad adolescents aged 15 to 18 years old enrolled in summer language institutes located in Seoul and Gyeonggido, South Korea. The survey consisted of questionnaires relating to coping strategies and, cultural, psychological and school adjustments. The data was collected during the break time of summer language institute classes. Results showed that these adolescents' problem focused and social support coping strategies were positively related with acculturation, psychological adjustment and school adjustment, and emotion focused coping strategy was positively related to satisfaction of life.

This study examined the role of after-school caregiver absence in the relationship between school adjustment and mobile phone dependency during early adolescence. Sixth grade students(N=1,863) from the nationally representative Korea Child and Youth Panel Study were analyzed using moderated multiple regression models. The results showed that higher school adjustment may be effective in reducing youth mobile phone dependency. There was also a significant interaction effect between school adjustment and high caregiver absence, indicating that the protective role of school adjustment concerning mobile phone dependency may be less effective among youth of highest risk. Policy implications of the results are also discussed.

This study examined the longitudinal effects of media usage by early school-age children and of maternal parenting stress on children's school adjustment. The study focused on the mediating effect of executive function difficulty. Longitudinal data to examine the hypothetical model were drawn from the eighth (2015) through tenth (2017) waves of the Panel Study of Korean Children (PSKC) collected by the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education (KICCE). A total of 581 children (293 boys and 288 girls) and their mothers were included. Confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation model, and bootstrapping analysis were applied using SPSS 25.0 and Amos 26.0. The results are as follows. First, no significant correlation was found between early school-age children's media usage and maternal parenting stress. Second, neither media usage by early school-age children nor maternal parenting stress were found to directly affect children's school adjustment. Third, media usage by early school-age children and maternal parenting stress were shown to indirectly affect children's school adjustment via executive function difficulties. In other words, higher levels of media usage by early school-age children and maternal parenting stress during the first grade lead to greater executive function difficulties after a year, which, in turn, lead to a lower level of school adjustment in the third grade. This study indicates the need to develop practical support for the psychological wellbeing of mothers while they are performing their role as a parent and for children in maintaining suitable levels of media usage during early childhood.

본 연구는 과학영재학교 조기입학 학생들이 어떤 조건과 상호작용전략을 사용하여 학교적응을 하는지 알아보았다. 이를 위하여 조기입학생 6명과 조기입학 준비학생 2명을 대상으로 심층면담을 하였다. 반구조화 질문을 이용하여 개별심층면담을 실시하여, 과학영재학교에 진학하였을 때 어떠한 걱정과 우려를 가지고 진학하였는지 그리고 학교생활을 하면서 어떻게 적응해 가는지 그 과정을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 근거이론 방법을 이용하여, 개방 코딩, 축 코딩, 선택 코딩 과정을 통해 패러다임 모형을 구성하고 핵심범주를 추출하였다. 개방 코딩을 통해 75개의 개념과 21개의 하위범주, 10개의 범주를 추출하였고, 축 코딩 과정에서는 개방 코딩을 통해 추출한 10개의 범주간의 관계를 규명하여 패러다임 모형을 구성하였으며, 선택 코딩과정에서는 '학업적 사회적 정서적 적응 전략을 이용한 학교적응'이라는 핵심범주를 찾아냈다. 이를 통해 과학영재학교에 조기입학하는 학생들의 적응과정에 대해 보다 심층적으로 이해하였다.

This study investigated early school adjustment of institutionalized and home-reared children. Subjects were 118 institutionalized (56 first and 62 second grade children; 66 boys and 52 girls) and 125 home-reared children (69 first and 56 second grade children; 65 boys and 60 girls) in Seoul. Data were analyzed with t-test and two-way ANOVA. Measures of school adjustment included relationships with leachers, relationships with peers, attitudes on school atmosphere, and observance of school regulation. Results showed that institutionalized children had lower scores than home-reared children in school adjustment, especially relationships with peer and observance of school regulation. For institutionalized children, there was a significant difference in attitudes on school atmosphere depending on grade. For home-reared children, there was a significant difference in school adjustment depending on sex.

The main purpose of this study was to analysis of the structural relationship between early adolescents' social relationships, self esteem, life satisfaction, and school adjustment. Data harvested from the Korean Youth Panel Survey 2010 was analyzed by means of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that the model is appropriate in terms of goodness of fit and significant path based on the validation procedure. According to the model, the social relationships have some degree of influence upon self esteem which then goes on to have a subsequent effect on life satisfaction; which in turn have a further influence on school adjustment. Social relationships also have a direct influence on life satisfaction, school adjustment, and self esteem has a direct influence on school adjustment. The paper concludes with an outline of the implications of the present study for future studies on this subject.

This study investigated early school adjustment of institutionalized children. Subjects were 118 primary school children in 15 child-welfare facilities in Seoul(56 first and 62 second grade children; 66 boys and 52 girls). Data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, and Duncan test. Measures of school adjustment included relationships with leachers, relationships with peers, attitudes on school atmosphere, and observance of school regulation. Results showed that institutionalized children had the highest scores in relationships with teachers, but lowest scores in relationships with peers. Institutionalized children who perceived economic problem as the cause of entering institution showed lower adjustment scores in relationships with peers. There was no significant difference in school adjustment depending on sex, but a significant difference in altitudes on school atmosphere depending on grade.
