The purpose of the study was to investigate the differences in attitudes toward emergent literacy between mothers and fathers in relation to two types of early educational centers and to explore relationships between the parents' attitudes toward literacy and their home literacy environment. The subjects were 1626 parents (813 mothers, 813 fathers), who had three to five years old children, from 14 kindergartens and 11 daycare centers in Seoul. The questionnaire based on Kwon's instrument of emergent literacy altitude (1999) was used. The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVAS, and correlation. The results were as follows : First, there were significant differences in attitudes toward literacy between the mothers and the fathers in relation to their children's ages. The parents of three-year-old children had more positive altitudes toward literacy than ones of five-year-old. The mothers had more positive altitudes toward literacy than the fathers, excepts in reading instructions and writing development. Second, the fathers with daughters had more positive attitudes toward literacy than ones with sons. Third, the kindergarten parents had more positive attitudes toward literacy than daycare parents. Fourth, there were significantly positive correlations between the parents' attitudes toward emergent literacy for young children and their home literacy environments.

This study was conducted to develop the Home Literacy Environment Rating Scale(HLERS) and to analyze its item discrimination, reliability, and validity. The participants of this study were 438 parents whose children were three to five years old. The item discrimination, determined by comparing the highest and lowest group using Chi-square($x^2$) and Cramer's V, was found to be satisfactory. The Cronbach's $\alpha$ for internal consistency reliability was .78. Factor analysis revealed that the structure of the HLERS consisted of three factors: 'reading books,' 'reading behavior and modeling of parents' and 'literacy learning.' The concurrent validity was also identified by correlation between the HLERS and two sub-tests of EC-HOME. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that the Home Literacy Environment Rating Scale is reliable and valid to examine the home literacy environment for Korean families.

본 연구는 언어경험접근법을 활용한 유아 현장체험활동 프로그램을 개발하고, 개발한 프로그램이 유아의 문해능력 및 창의성에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 유아의 현장체험활동 프로그램 개발한 후, 현장체험활동 프로그램이 유아의 문해능력과 창의성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 연구하였다. 연구 결과 언어경험접근법을 활용한 유아 현장체험활동 프로그램은 유아 수용어휘능력 및 표현어휘능력 증진에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 창의성의 하위요인에 있어서도 독창성, 유창성, 융통성, 상상력 증진에 긍정적인 효과를 미친 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 언어경험접근법을 활용한 유아 현장체험활동 프로그램은 유아의 문해능력과 창의성 증진에 효과적인 교수 전략인 것으로 해석된다.

The study was designed to explore mothers' and teachers' beliefs on children's literacy development by comparing their beliefs with the whole language approach. Also, their literacy practices at home and in the classroom were compared and how their literacy beliefs and practices were related was investigated. 176 mothers and 72 daycare teachers participated in this study in Kyunggi-do. Mean, standard deviation, frequency, t-test, and multiple regression were employed to analyze the data. The results showed that the mothers' age, mothers' education, fathers' education and family income mostly predict the mothers' literacy beliefs. Also the teachers' age, education, and their learning experiences with the whole language approach are the main predicting variables in the teachers' beliefs. In practices, the mothers' age, number of children, and fathers' education are independent variables predicting the mothers' practices. The teachers' age, education, interest about the whole language approach, learning experience, and number of children in the classroom are independent variables into the teachers' practices. Overall, teachers showed a higher level of beliefs on the whole language approach and did more literacy practices than the mothers.

This study investigated the affects of Parent-child interaction, peer interaction and teacher-child interaction on kindergartners' social competence, language and literacy Ability. Participants were 1203 children attending panel study on Korean children. It used the 'Social Competence Inventory', 'SECCYD', 'HEQ', 'PIPPS' and the 'Teacher-Child Relation Scale' in collection of data. Collected data were analyzed through the SPSS 18.0 program and pearson's correlation and step-wise multi regression analysis. Findings are as follows. First, there were positive correlations between children's social competence and parent-child interaction, peer interaction and teacher-child interaction. Second, there were positive correlations between children's language and literacy ability and peer interaction and teacher-child interaction. Third, Parent-child interaction, peer interaction were predictable variable affecting the young children's social competence. Fourth, peer interaction and teacher-child interaction were found to be predictable variables affecting the young children's language and literacy ability.

In this research, we have identified problems and countermeasures when school library provides information literacy service in liaison with school curriculum. The problems were misunderstanding information literacy as ICT skills, lack of books and librarians, and etc. So we emphasize importance of library and information in information literacy. And for countermeasures, we provide online guide to library resources, 'BIG6 problem solving model' for information literacy teaching-learning, teaching-learning plans for information literacy, formats for teaching-learning process.

This study investigated the effect on children's literacy of teacher-child discussion about the contents of storybooks. The subjects were 10 experimental and 10 control 5-year-old kindergarten children in Cheongju. The experimental design was the Split Plot design. The research instruments used for pre- and post-tests were the Vocabulary Decoding Competence Test(Lee, 1998), Writing Competence Test(Lee & Lee, 1990), Story Comprehension Competence Test(Lee, 1998; Morrow, 1990), and the Emergent Reading Ability Judgements for Favorite Storybooks(Sulzby, 1985). Data were analyzed by ANOVA with repeated measures. Results showed that the teacher-child discussions about the contents of storybooks were effective for improving children's competence in decoding vocabulary, writing, and story comprehension but not for improving emergent reading ability.

본 연구의 목적은 유아교육기관의 자유놀이 시간에 자발적으로 출현하는 유아의 쓰기 활동의 양상과 이를 지지하는 유아교육기관의 환경에 대하여 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 연구의 대상으로 미국 캘리포니아주에 위치한 대학 부설 유아교육기관과 유아를 선정하고 관찰한 후 그 결과를 서술하고 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과 연구의 대상인 유아교육기관의 전반적인 환경에는 다양한 문해 활동 자료들이 풍부하게 마련되어 있었고 유아들은 이러한 환경에서의 자유놀이의 맥락 내에서 자발적으로 쓰기 활동에 참여하였다. 유아들은 실제 생활을 운용하기 위하여 효율적으로 쓰기 활동에 참여하였고, 또래들과 교사들과 함께 그들의 쓰기 작품을 읽고 그 의미를 토론하면서 쓰기 언어에 대한 그들의 발전적인 지식을 표출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 형식적인 쓰기 교수법이 없이도 다양한 문해 활동 자료들이 풍부하게 갖추어진 질 높은 유아교육기관의 자유놀이 시간을 통해 유아의 쓰기 언어 학습이 효율적으로 이루어질 수 있다는 사실을 증명함으로써 유아교육기관에서의 언어 교육의 실제에 적용할 수 있는 시사점을 제공한다.
