This study examined the developmental aspects of sex role stereotypes among children and the impact of stereotypic and reversed stereotypic sex role content on children's sex-stereotypic thinking. In study I, subjects were 181 Korean children ranging from nursery and kindergarten to grade 1. SERLI was used to measure children's sex role stereotypes. In study II, the subjects were 62 six-year-old kindergarten children of each sex. 4 experimental stories were developed haled on Hong(1991). A test-retest design was used to study sex role stereotypes and the impact of stereotypic and reversed-stereotypic sex role content. Statistical analysis of obtained data was by an ANOVA and two-way analysis of co-variance. Results revealed that 6-year-old children's sex role stereotypes were higher than 5-and 7-year-old children. Boys were higher than girls on children's sex role stereotypes. Children exposed to reversed sex role content changed significantly in the direction of reversed stereotyping.

본 연구에서는 만 5세 유아와 초등학교 2 4 6 학년 학생을 대상으로 과학, 과학자 및 과학활동에 대한 인식을 조사하고 이를 성, 학년 등의 변인에 따라 분석하였다. 학생들은 과학자에 대한 고정된 이미지를 4가지 정도 지니고 있었으며, 구체적인 항목으로는 '실내', '남자', '과학을 상징하는 실험도구', '실험복'이었다. 이는 성, 연령에 따른 차이가 나타났다. 남아에 비해 여아의 점수가 다소 높았으며, 초등학생이 유치원 아동보다 높았으나, 초등학생 내에서 학년에 따른 차이는 없었다. 다수의 학생이 과학을 좋아하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 성에 따른 차이는 없었으나, 학년에 따른 차이가 나타나 학년이 높아질수록 선호도가 낮아졌다. 다수의 학생들이 과학을 좋아하고 재미있다고 응답했지만 장래에 과학자가 되겠다는 응답은 소수였다. 과학자에 대한 선호도는 성과 학년에 따라 차이가 있었다. 여아에 비해 남아가, 학년이 낮을수록 과학자가 되고 싶다는 반응이 높게 나타났다. 대다수의 학생들이 과학을 발명, 실험, 관찰 등으로 파악하고 있어 활동중심이 과학관을 지니고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 성에 따른 차이는 없었으나, 학년에 따른 차이가 있었다. 개념 중심의 과학인식이 유치원 아동에 비해 초등학생이 더 많았으며, 이러한 경향은 학년이 올라가면서 두드러졌다. 학교 밖에서도 과학을 하고 있다고 응답한 학생은 소수로, 과학은 학교에서만 하는 것이라는 인식이 지배적이었다. 이는 성과 연령에 따른 차이가 없았다.

본 연구에서는 남아와 여아의 사회적 행동에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 구체적으로 파악함으로써 유아의 사회적 행동에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 이를 통해 사회적 행동에 대한 부모와 교사의 이해를 높이고, 유아의 사회적 행동을 증진시키기 위한 교육프로그램 개발에 도움을 주는데 의의가 있다. 본 연구는 유아교육기관에 재원중인 만 5세 유아 1000명과 그들의 어머니를 대상으로 하였으며, 유아의 사회적 행동, 기질과 정서지능, 어머니의 성격특성과 또래관계 관리전략이 설문도구로 사용되었다. 연구방법은 차이분석, 상관분석과 중다회귀분석을 통해 알아보았으며, 연구결과는 첫째, 여아가 남아보다 사회적 행동에서 더 긍정적이었으며, 둘째, 남아와 여아 모두 유아의 정서적 지능이 사회적 행동을 설명하는 가장 강력한 변인으로 나타났다. 추후 연구에서는 어머니 변인 외 아버지 변인과 관련하여 유아의 사회적 행동을 다각적으로 접근할 필요가 있겠다.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the difference of parents' verbal control styles influence children's perspective-taking and interpersonal cognitive problem-solving skills. The subjects of this study were 117 five-year-old children with their parents included. The questionnaire used was relevant to the topic, such as parents' verbal control styles, young children's perspective-taking ability, and their interpersonal cognitive problem-solving skills. The percent, mean, standard deviation, three-way ANOVA, and Scheffe were used to analyze the data collected through SPSS WIN program. The major findings are as follows: First, a father's verbal control style makes a significant difference in young child's perspective-taking ability. However, there is no interaction effect between parents' verbal control styles and a child's sex. Second, a father's verbal control style makes a significant difference in young child's interpersonal cognitive problem-solving skills. Character-oriented verbal control mode of a father, in particular, produces more effects on boys than girls. Lastly, Two skills - alternative problem-solving skills and cause-solving skills - have interaction effects. Boys demonstrate higher skills than girls when parents apply character-oriented verbal control styles. Girls do so when mothers use position-oriented verbal control styles, especially in the area of cause-solving skills.

This study purposed to examine the effects of integrated activities based on wordless picture books on increase in children's creativity. As for the subject of this study, 20 five-year old children(9 boys and 11 girls), who go to D Kindergarten in Ulsan-si, were selected as a experimental group and 20 five-year old children(8 boys and 12 girls) as comparative group, who attend B Kindergarten in Ulsan-si. For this study, all children of the groups were taken pre-test. After this experiment, difference in creativity of two groups was examined through post-test. The total of 42 sessions were conducted for 14 weeks from the first week of April to the second week of July, 2005. The test tool for this study was Creativity Scale developed by Kim Sang-yun (2003). To verify study questions, the mean of the two groups and the standard deviation were calculated and independent-sample t-test was carried out using SPSS WIN 11.5. The results of this study were as the following: First, integrated activities based on wordless picture books showed statistically significant difference in children's creativity between the experimental group and the comparative one(p<.001), which suggested that the activities affected increase in children's creativity in general. Second, integrated activities centering around wordless picture books indicated statistically significant difference in fluency(p<.05), flexibility(p<.01) and originality(p<.001), sub-factors of children's creativity, between the experimental group and the comparative one. This result revealed that these activities were effective. Third, integrated activities based on wordless picture books did not show significant difference in elaboration, a sub-factor of children's creativity, between the two groups. As the result of this study, integrated activities based on wordless picture books had positive effects on increase in children's creativity.

The purpose of this study was to examine the usability of a robot in kindergartens and the children's perceptions of that robot. In order to answer these questions, a field study, picture drawing and interviews were conducted over twelve days in a kindergarten located in Seoul. Our results indicated that children were likely to use the robot in a group and girls tended to use it more than boys. Children's affection towards the robot was positive and they perceived the robot mostly in terms of a friend. Finally, the picture drawing activity differed according to the usability level. Children who were in the high usability level grouping engaged more with educational content and storytelling while the low usability level grouping utilized the robot for singing in a large group.

Purpose: To investigate the dental health status of kindergarten children according to their oral health behavior. Method: The subjects were 172 kindergarten children aged 5. A structured questionnaire was used for dental health behavior and oral health status were examined by dentist and bacteria in salivary. Result: 1. Mean score of oral health behavior of children was 4.69 points (SD1.65) with the highest score being 13. No significant differences were observed according to sex, except using tooth paste. A total 71.5% of subjects brushed their tooth twice a day, 9.9% of them once a day, 18.6% of them three times a day, 19.2% of children brushed their teeth after breakfast and lunch, 89.5% of then after dinner, 5.8% of them before going to bed, 18.6% of children brushed correctly, 79.7% of them used tooth paste with fluorine, 3.5% of them regularly examined oral cavity, 84.4% of them took cariogenic food without any restrain, 67.1% of them were observed with oral cavity by their mother. 2. Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli in the saliva was $3.66({\times}106CFU/m{\ell})\;and\;1.05({\times}103CFU/m{\ell})$, respectively. No significant differences were observed according to sex, while lactobacilli were significantly lower in those children who had regular dental examinations. 3. The index of plaque was 1.56 and the boys were significantly higher than the girls. The mean dft was 4.99. No significant differences were observed according to sex, while the children whose oral cavity was observed regular were significantly lower than those who were not observed. Conclusion: As a whole the practice of oral health behavior of the kindergarten children was poor, and regular dental examinations and oral cavity observations affect their dental health status. These results suggest that intensive dental health education was needed not only for the pre-school children but also their parents and teachers.
