Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of children's age and their fathers' childrearing involvement on the social morality of young children. Methods: The data were gathered from parents who had 3-5 year old children enrolled in daycare centers and from their daycare teachers. The parents answered questions about their children's socio-demographic background and the father's childrearing involvement. And the teachers rated children's social morality. The data from a total of 245 questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS 25.0. Results: First, there was a statistically significant difference between young children's morality score and convention score. Young children's morality scores were higher than their convention scores. Second, children's age was a significant influential factor on both their moral and conventional social morality. Third, father's care-discipline had the only impact on children's conventional social morality. That is, children's social morality was higher when their fathers gave them more care and guidance. Forth, an interaction effect between children's age and father's development-support on children's conventional social morality was found. Conclusion/Implications: The results from this study suggest that a differentiated approach is needed according to the types of childrearing involvement of fathers in order to improve children's social morality.

In present study, using 1572 low-income families and 266 Head Start teachers from Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) in the U.S., we examined the effects of mothers' reading and the characteristics of interaction between teacher-child interaction on 4-and 5-year-olds' cognitive development represented by their verbal and numerical abilities. Frequencies of mothers' reading at home consistently predicted higher scores of children's Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and Woodcock Johnson Applied Problems. Teachers' sensitivity and permissiveness in their interactions with children in classroom were positively related to children's verbal abilities and teachers' sensitivity predicted better numerical abilities of children after controlling for mothers' reading and the characteristics of family and teacher. The findings shed light on the contributions of teacher behaviors and familial factors to children's cognitive development calling for attention to the need for parent education on cognitively stimulating family environments and continuing education for early childhood teachers focusing on quality interactions with young children.

본 연구의 목적은 어린이집 유아교사들의 과학교수효능감과 유아의 과학적 태도가 어떤 관계를 보이는지 살펴 본 후, 교사-영유아와의 상호작용의 질을 높일 수 있는 매개변인으로 교수창의성을 투입하여 교사 영유아와의 관계가 어떻게 변화되는지를 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구는 2018년 경기 수원지역의 어린이집 유아교사 303명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 자료 분석을 위해 SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0을 이용하여 구조방정식 모형과 Sobel-test를 실시하였다. 분석결과, 유아교사의 과학교수효능감은 유아교사의 창의성과 유아의 과학적 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유아교사의 창의성은 유아의 과학적 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. Sobel-test 결과, 유아교사의 과학교수효능감과 유아의 과학적 태도 간의 관계에서 유아교사의 창의성은 매개역할을 하여 유아의 과학적 태도를 증진시키는 데에 중요한 변수로 작용하였다. 결론적으로 유아교사의 교수 창의성은 유아의 과학적 태도 향상을 위해 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 중요한 변인임을 확인하였다. 따라서 유아교사가 과학교수활동을 할 때 교수 창의성을 높일 수 있는 교육이 동시에 제공된다면 유아의 과학적 태도의 질을 높이는데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to examine how children perceived the use of intelligent service robots in early childhood education and identifying the characteristics of the interaction between the children concerned and the robots. The subjects of this study were 49 kindergarten students from Girin Kindergarten in Gyeonggi-do. The results of this study suggested that the children personalized the robot and recognized it as their friend, regardless of their ages. In the interactions between the children and the robot, the children engaged in physical contact with the robot and occasionally tried to control its functions. In the child-robot interaction, the children searched their favorite functions and used them repeatedly, but also lost interest in those repeated functions. Regardless of their interest levels, however, the attendance or portfolio organization functions. With regard to the interaction between peers, there were frequent quarrels regarding the use of the robot at first, but these conflicts were resolved by the intervention of peers or teachers, and the children who were familiar with the use of the robot helped their friends; this was viewed as constituting cooperative behavior. Children usually used the robot with their friends. The robot was a medium for children to find new friends. Peer group activities were explored and new friendships were created as a result of the use of the robot.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to explore the moderating role of children's verbal ability in the relation between shyness and teacher-child relationships. Methods: Participants were 200 children, their mothers, and their kindergarten teachers. Children's shyness was rated by their mothers and teachers, and children's verbal ability was measured using the language problem solving ability test. And teachers completed a rating scale in order to examine the teacher-child relationship. The collected data were analyzed using correlations and hierarchical multiple regressions. Results: Children's shyness had a negative relation to close teacher-child relationships. And child's verbal ability was significantly related to teacher-child relationships. Hierachical regression analysis indicted to the interaction of child's shyness and verbal ability predicted close teacher-child relationships. Children's shyness, those who demonstrated the lowest level of child's verbal ability, was significantly associated with close teacher-child relationships. Children's shyness had no significant relation to close teacher-child relationships, especially for the highest level of children's verbal ability. Conclusion/Implications: We suggested that verbal ability training for children might be valuable for shy children in order to buffer the link between shyness and teacher-child relationships.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships between early childhood socioemotional development and day care experience and daycare quality. The subjects were 116 children, age 5 years old, from 17 daycare centers. The teachers at the 17 daycare centers rated the quality of their facility while the mothers of the 116 children assessed their children's socioemotional development. Daycare experience was composed of: the time period, hours per day, and the child's starting age at enrollment in daycare. Daycare quality was measured by questionnaire developed by Park(1995). Children's socioemotional development was rated by K-CBCL (Oh et al. 1997). The results were as follows. First, starting daycare experience less than 2 years of age, attending more than 6 days per week, and attending more than 8 hours per day of daycare experience were negatively related with children's development. Second, quality of daycare such as child-centered curriculum, abundant interaction between teachers and parents, opportunity for continuing education of teachers, higher levels of rewards and incentives for teachers, and the provision of nutritious food were positively related to the children's development.

Subjects were 78 12- to 35- month old infants, their mothers, and their teachers. Instruments included the Revised Toddler Temperament Questionnaire(Y. H. Choi 1990) and the Assessment Profile for Early Childhood Programs(M. K. Hong 1997; S. K. Kim 1999). There was no significant difference in perceptions of infant temperament between mothers and teachers. Infant-mother interaction differed by infant temperament in that mothers had high scores with easy infants but low scores with difficult children. On the other hand teachers maintained high interactions with difficult infants in the case of infant's rhythmicity. Infant-teacher interaction correlated with such teacher variables as teacher-infant ratio, teachers' academic backgrounds and working hours.

본 연구는 어머니의 심리적 통제와 유아-교사 상호작용이 유아의 자기조절능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 3~5세 유아와 그들의 어머니 358명, 그들의 담임교사 28명이며, 자료 분석을 위해 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, Pearson의 상관분석, 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 어머니의 심리적 통제와 유아-교사 상호작용은 유아의 자기조절능력에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 그 중 유아-교사 상호작용이 어머니의 심리적 통제에 비해 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 행동조절보다는 정서조절에 더 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 유아의 자기조절능력에 영향을 미치는 변인으로서의 어머니의 심리적 통제와 유아-교사의 상호작용을 확인하였으며 어머니의 훈육방식에 대한 교육, 그리고 교사의 상호작용에 관한 지속적인 교육과 예비 교사 대상의 교육프로그램 개발의 필요성을 부각시켰다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
