The purpose of this study was to investigate dietitians or nutrition teachers' perception of sugar reduction and usage of sugars in school meal service. A survey was conducted for dietitians or nutrition teachers at elementary, middle, and high schools in Gyeonggi and Incheon. Survey data were analyzed according to the experience period and school types of dietitians or nutrition teachers. The numbers of subjects according to work experience period were 134 (44.2%) for <5 years, 68 (22.4%) for ${\geq}5$ and <10 years, and 101 (33.3%) for ${\geq}10years$. Among the subjects, 168 (55.4%) were nutrition teachers at kindergarten/elementary schools, and 135 (44.6%) were at middle/high/special schools. Perceptions of sugar reduction programs were higher in kindergarten/elementary schools than in middle/high/special schools. The perception of added sugar use increased with more work experience, and interest in sugar reduction was higher in kindergarten/elementary schools than in middle/high/special schools. Practice for added sugar reduction increased with more work experience, and the most common method for reducing sugar was use of natural sugars. The main reason for not reducing added sugars in school meals was due to preference. Nutritional education for students increased with more work experience and was higher in kindergarten/elementary schools than in middle/high/special schools. The major nutritional education methods were using school homepage (37.4%), sending family letters (37.4%), and using principle's discretion time (18.4%). Organic sugar and rice taffy were used more at kindergarten/elementary schools, and white sugar, brown sugar, and white syrup were used more at middle/high/special schools. The most common menu using added sugars was stir-fried dishes (stir-fried pork, chicken, and vegetables).

본 연구의 목적은 유치원 교사의 직무만족도와 삶의 만족도가 교사-유아 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 경기도, 강원도에 소재한 공·사립 유치원 교사 320명을 대상으로 유치원 교사의 직무만족도, 삶의 만족도, 교사-유아 상호작용을 측정하는 설문에 응답하도록 하였다. 수집된 자료를 토대로 Pearson의 적률상관관계 분석과 중다회귀분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 직무만족도의 하위요인인 교직의식, 발전성, 혁신성, 자율성, 동료애, 보상이 높을수록 교사- 유아의 상호작용도 높게 나타났으며, 업무부담이 높을수록 언어적 상호작용이 낮게 나타났다. 둘째, 유치원 교사의 삶의 만족도가 높을수록 정서적, 언어적, 행동적 상호작용도 높게 나타났다. 즉, 유치원 교사의 직무만족도 하위변인과 삶의 만족도는 교사-유아 상호작용의 하위변인인 정서적, 언어적, 행동적 상호작용과 정적인 유의한 관계가 있다. 셋째, 교사- 유아 상호작용 전체에 대한 예언변인들의 상대적 영향력은 삶의 만족도(β= .24), 발전성(β= .22), 동료애(β= .16) 순이고, 그 설명변량은 25%인 것으로 나타났다.

This research is exploratory in considering the unique socio-cultural context of South Korea, where the present government is responding to the demand for English language training. The study asked the question: What do mothers experience when sending their young children to a private English institute, so called English kindergarten, instead of a regular preschool? A qualitative approach was used to analyze the in-depth interviews with 19 mothers who sent their young child to an English kindergarten. Mothers stated that their young child needs to be a competent English speaker. The mothers expected that an English kindergarten would prepare their child better for the elementary school English curriculum than a regular preschool. The study revealed that English kindergartens symbolized the precedence and the privileges of the elite because of their high tuition fees, native-speaker teachers, and small class sizes. The mothers showed a sense of pride and vicarious satisfaction from sending their child to an English kindergarten. However, the mothers recognized that English kindergartens put more emphasis on cognitive learning instead of the social development of children. It was almost impossible for mothers to communicate with the native-speaker teachers about their child. The mothers seemed to overlook their child's struggle to adapt to an English Kindergarten. The findings of the study raise issues concerning the boom of teaching young children English in Korea.

본 연구는 유치원 교사의 공감능력과 가정연계효능감이 교사-학부모 관계 인식과 교사소진에 미치는 효과가 어떠한지, 그리고 공감능력과 유치원 교사가 인식하는 교사-학부모 관계 및 교사소진의 관계에서 가정연계효능감의 조절효과가 유의한지를 확인하고자 하는 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해 충북지역에 근무하는 공·사립 유치원 교사 208명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였고, JAMOVI 1.6.23을 활용하여 응답자료를 분석하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유치원 교사의 공감능력과 가정연계효능감 모두 교사-학부모 관계 인식에 유의한 정적효과를 보였다. 둘째, 유치원 교사의 공감능력과 교사-학부모 관계 인식에서 가정연계효능감의 유의한 조절효과가 나타났다. 구체적으로 유치원 교사의 가정연계효능감이 높을 때(M+1SD) 공감능력이 높을수록 교사-학부모 관계 인식이 유의하게 높아졌으며, 가정연계효능감이 평균 수준이거나 낮을 때(M-1SD)는 공감능력이 교사-학부모 관계 인식에 미치는 효과가 유의하지 않았다. 셋째, 유치원 교사의 공감능력과 가정연계효능감 모두 교사소진에 유의한 부적효과를 나타냈으며, 공감능력과 교사소진의 관계에서 가정연계효능감의 조절효과는 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 유치원 교사가 인식한 교사-학부모 관계와 교사소진에 있어 공감능력과 가정연계효능감의 역할을 확인하고, 특히 공감능력이 교사-학부모 관계 인식에 미치는 효과가 가정연계효능감 수준에 따라 조절됨을 확인함으로써 가정연계효능감의 중요성을 인식하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

This study investigated relationship between preservice kindergarten teachers' cognitive strategies and self-determination motivation types. Cognitive strategies were measured by 3 variables surface, deep, and metacognitive strategies; motivation for self-determination was measured by 7 variables; intrinsic motivation(IM) to know, IM to accomplish, IM to experience stimulation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, and amotivation. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire(Pintirch & DeGroot, 1990) and the Academic Motivation Scale(Vallerand et al., 1992, 1993) were administered to 82 subjects. Data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation, multiple regression analysis, and canonical correlation analysis. Finding were a positive correlation between IM to know and IM to accomplish. IM to accomplish positively predicted surface, deep, and metacognitive strategies, and identified regulation positively predicted deep cognitive strategy. Amotivation negatively predicted deep and metacognitive strategies.

In response to a growing trend toward downward escalation of public school curriculum, the present study surveyed so-called extracurricular activities in kindergartens and analyzed teacher's perception of these activities. Questionnaires were mailed to 1300 private kindergartens and 1116 responses were received. Major findings were that over 89% of the respondents reported doing extracurricular activities in their kindergartens, mostly using 3-4 different kinds of special activities. The 3 most highly ranked lessons in order of frequency were English, art and physical activity. Whole group time was most often used for extracurricular activities. Kindergarten teachers were concerned with the qualifications of teachers for these activities. Teachers of these extra activities usually have no specialized training or supervised experience working with 3-through 5-year-old children.

유보통합 이후에 현직교사에 대한 영유아교사의 자격전환연수가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 교사자격연수의 과목과 운영모듈에 대해 살펴보았다. 검토 결과, 보육교사 자격이 없는 유치원교사에게는 4과목 12학점이 필요하고, 보육교사 자격만 갖고 있는 교사에게는 14과목 30학점이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 자격연수기관으로 4년제 및 전문대 유아교육과와 방송통신대학교를 제안하였다. 보육교사를 소지하지 않은 유치원 교원의 경우 직무연수를 통하여 자격전환을 할 수 있는 것으로 제안하였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to provide basic data for future infectious disease prevention educational programs targeting preschoolers by verifying the effects of the 2023 Home-visiting Infectious Disease Prevention Class Project for Preschoolers. Methods: The study is a descriptive survey that analyzed educational satisfaction of kindergarten teachers and the activity reports of visiting teachers. The effectiveness of the education on the children's side was evaluated with a quasi-experimental approach using pre- and post-test design. Data collection was conducted from September 6 to November 10, 2023. The data from 96 kindergarten teachers, 100 activity reports written by visiting teachers, 56 children in the experimental group, and 50 children in the control group were analyzed. Results: As a result of analyzing the satisfaction survey results of the kindergarten teachers and the activity reports submitted by the visiting teachers, all questions received a very positive evaluation with 4 or more out of 5 points. In addition, the children in the experimental group showed statistically significant positive changes both in hand-washing accuracy and their awareness of immunity. Conclusion: The Home-visiting Infectious Disease Prevention Class Project for Preschoolers is of great educational significance and is expected to be a useful educational intervention that can improve infection prevention behaviors and show practical preventive effects in preschoolers so that they can be prepared for various infectious diseases in the future.
