In March 2021, the <Guidance on Promoting the Scientific Interface between Kindergarten and Elementary School> issued by the Ministry of Education of China clearly pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to child oriented. This goal of this policy is based on the idea of "living education" proposed by Mr. Heqin Chen in 1940, which indicates that a true understanding of children is necessary before talking about educating them. The core goal of "bidirectional articulation" is to strengthen the sense of articulation between kindergartens and elementary school, scientifically prepare for and adapt to school enrollment, and promote the smooth transition of children. Moreover, the <Guidance Points for Kindergarten Readiness Education> and the <Guidance Points for Elementary School Adaptation Education>, which were released at the same time as the <Guidance on Promoting the Scientific Interface between Kindergarten and Elementary School>, also place special emphasis on the cultivation of children's life preparation and adaptability. The aim of the bidirectional articulation "bridging" is to realize a two-way exchange of curriculum between kindergarten and elementary school, and to reform the curriculum at three levels through the curriculum spirit of "gamification", the continuous curriculum structure, and the developmental curriculum evaluation.

본 연구는 단설유치원 교직원과 교육청의 시설담당공무원을 대상으로 장애물 없는 생활환경 인지도와 유치원의 장애물 없는 생활환경 구축을 위해 강화 또는 완화해야 할 편의시설을 조사하였다. 또한 장애물 없는 생활환경 조성을 위해 기설 단설유치원의 개선 편의시설에 대해서 조사하여 개선방안을 도출하였다. 첫째, 제도적 측면에서 우리나라 현행 "장애인 노인 임산부 등의 편의증진 보장에 관한 법률 시행규칙"을 개정하여 유치원의 의무 권장 설치대상 편의시설과 그에 따른 장애물 없는 생활환경 인증기준을 변경할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 시설 환경적 측면에서 기설 유치원에 장애물 없는 생활환경 인증 제도를 적용하기 위해서는 지형 또는 건물 구조상 개선이 어려운 항목은 배점을 낮게 조정하여 기설 유치원이 장애물 없는 생활환경 인증을 받을 수 있도록 활성화할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 사회 인식적 측면에서 장애물 없는 생활환경에 대한 인지도가 아직도 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 교육청 및 인증기관을 중심으로 장애물 없는 생활환경 인증제도에 대한 홍보와 교육을 강화하여야 한다. 기존유치원과 신설유치원의 장애물 없는 생활 환경 조성 방향의 핵심은 보호능력과 안전의식이 부족한 유아의 특성을 감안하는 것이다. 모든 출입구의 높이 차이를 제거하고 자동문을 설치하여 편리성과 안정성을 높이고, 위생시설은 유아가 사용하기 편리하도록 적절한 높이와 공간 확보가 필수적이다. 최근 유아기 공동체 활동이 강화됨에 따라 강당이나 도서관의 각종 편의시설 확충과 피난안전시설도 강화되어야 한다. 본 연구는 사회적 약자인 유아들의 교육 생활 공간인 단설유치원을 대상으로 장애물 없는 생활환경 조성 방안을 연구하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 따라서 향후 본 연구를 토대로 기설 유치원에 적합한 장애물 없는 생활환경 인증지표에 대한 개선 연구가 시도된다면 유치원의 장애물 없는 생활환경 변화를 촉진할 수 있는 계기가 될 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구의 목적은 유치원 교사의 내 외적 요인과 과학 교수 불안간의 관련성을 알아보고 과학 교수 불안에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 요인을 밝히고자 하는 것이다. 교사 내적 요인으로는 경력, 학력, 과학적 소양, 과학 관련 경험이, 그리고 외적 요인으로는 근무기관 유형, 담당학급 연령, 유치원 과학지원 환경, 유아의 과학에 대한 흥미 요인가 선정되었다. 유치원 교사 182명을 대상으로 조사를 실시한 결과 교사 내적 요인으로는 과학 관련 경험이, 그리고 교사 외적 요인으로는 유치원의 과학 지원 환경과 유아의 과학에 대한 흥미가 과학 교수 불안과 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 유치원 교사의 과학 교수 불안에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 교사의 내적 요인인 과학 관련 경험으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 유치원 교사의 과학 교수 불안을 감소시키기 위해서는 유아기의 과학에 대한 경험이 그 출발점이 되며, 교사 양성 과정을 거쳐 현직 교육에 이르기까지 지속적으로 과학에 대해 긍정적인 경험을 많이 갖게 해주는 것이 중요하다는 시사점을 준다.

The purpose of this study was to consider the evaluations of curriculum and young children by kindergarten teachers. The investigation subjects for questionnaire were 637 (the directors, vice-directors, the head teachers, and teachers) who were selected by proportional stratified sampling method for population and the subjects for interview were 11 teachers out of previous subjects who have worked at Jeolla-Do. The questionnaire was based on preceding studies and the propriety of contents was validated. The followings are results of this study. First, according to the purpose of curriculum, more than half of kindergarten teachers answered that they do perform evaluation to validate the young children's developmental process and there were statistically no significant differences by variables of kindergarten teachers. This study was to see whether they perform the evaluation results of curriculum or not, they relatively perform and there were statistically differences by kindergarten teacher's working location, establishment type, level of education and age. This study was to see whether they reflect the evaluation results of curriculum, and it was revealed as they relatively reflect. Also, there were statistically significant differences by kindergarten teacher's working location. And, kindergarten teachers requested the appropriate evaluation curriculum that also requires the adequate education for teachers and organized supporting system as a implication plan. Second, as of material types for children's portfolio evaluation, teachers collect activity products at most, then activity picture, observation, standardized test, teacher's journal, recording or tape-recording, post-interview and data that were collected at home. And, kindergarten teachers requested the appropriate evaluation method and the supply of human resources as a implication plan for young children's evaluation.

This study was designed to investigate the difference in the autonomous supervision and role performance according to the socio-demographic factors of the teachers. Also, the relation of the autonomous supervision and the role performance was examined. This research was conducted using the questionnaire to 394 teachers of national, public, and private kindergarten in Chung-buk province. Data were analyzed with the SPSSWIN program by the frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe post-hoc test and Pearson's correlation analysis. The results were summarized as follows: First, levels of autonomous supervision of kindergarten teachers were high in general and there were significant differences according to the institution, age, scholastic ability, and the career. The accomplishment in the public kindergarten was higher than that in the private one. Moreover, the higher the teacher's age, career, and scholastic ability, the higher the accomplishment. Second, levels of role performance of the kindergarten teachers were excellent, but the levels of role performance were higher in the public kindergarten than in the private one because the public teachers who did not transfer much had more chances of continuous education and higher responsibility. The role performance of teachers was found to be relatively higher in the kindergarten in countries than in cities because there were more public kindergartens than private ones in countries. Third, there were significant correlations between the lower factors of autonomous supervision and the role performance of the kindergarten teachers. Because the various types of the autonomous supervision can help the teacher's role performance, various types of the autonomous supervision which fit the developmental stages of the teachers will be desirable.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of the quality of school meals by parents of kindergarten children in Seoul, analyze the acceptance price and the optimal school meal cost using PSM (price sensitivity measurement) techniques, and provide basic data for improving the quality of kindergarten meals. The survey was conducted using descriptive statistics and PSM analysis of the responses of 1,272 parents of 779 kindergarten children belonging to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education from April to May 2021 and prior research analysis related to kindergarten meals. 74.1% of the parents surveyed were women, with 61% of children attending kindergartens attached to elementary schools, followed by private kindergartens (28.9%) and public kindergartens (10.1%). According to a study of the quality of meals, private kindergarten parents are highly satisfied with all the quality attributes of meals, such as "sanitation of dining environment" and "nutritionally balanced food" (p<0.001, p<0.01). The analysis of the acceptance price range and the optimal price for school meals showed that there was no significant variation based on the type of kindergarten establishment, with parents' acceptance price range ranging from 3,596 won to 4,454 won with an optimal price of 3,948 won.
