This study analyzed the change of after-school guardians' absence types during the first 3 school years, and the relations of after-school care, family environment(family income, parental monitoring) to self-regulatory learning ability and emotional-behavioral problems in each gender of early school-age children from dual income families. The data from 526 boys and 483 girls among 3rd graders of Korean Child and Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS) were statistically analyzed by Friedman's test, t-test, correlational coefficient analysis, regression analysis. The results showed that 45% of boys and 50% of girls were with a guardian for their after-school care in each of the first 3 school years and after-school care had changed gradually into the types of temporal or contingent absence of a guardian. Family income and children's self-regulatory learning ability were different from adult-care and self-care in each gender, but there were differences in the parental monitoring of girls and emotional-behavioral problems of boys according to the care types. Both of boys and girls showed that family environment meaningfully related with the ability and the problems, and also showed the relatively different effects of after-school care and family environment on those ability and problems variables. The results suggested some implications for after-school care.

This study takes the position that present after-school classes affect the development of children's sociality and self-esteem, and aims at comparing, analyzing and grasping the differences in sociality and self-esteem of the children who attend after-school classes and those of the children who don't. First, when the differences of sociality were analyzed between the children going to after-school classes and those who weren't, it was revealed that those who attended after-school classes had rather lower level of sociality than those who didn't, but there were no statistically meaningful differences. Second, when the differences of self-esteem in regard to whether children took after-school classes or not were examined, those who were taking after-school classes were analyzed to have lower self-esteem than those who weren't. The study results showed that the children who went to after-school classes had lower sociality and self-esteem compared to those who didn't. Taking this fact into consideration, different ways should be found to improve their sociality and self-esteem. In addition, programs need to be developed and introduced so that after-school classes can not only fulfill their original purposes of protecting and guiding children, but also continuously elevate and maintain children's sociality and self-esteem.

This study explored the effects of after-school services on whether they reduced the possibility of self-care of children. In terms of characteristics of the use of after-school services, it focused on the 1) types, 2) diversity, and 3) use patterns of the after-school services. For the analysis, it used data of the cohort of elementary-school children from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey. The main findings are as follows. First, private mentoring and after-school services provided by welfare centers reduced the possibility of self-care. Second, when the total amount of educational time was controlled, the diversity of participating after-school services did not explain the possibility of self-care. Third, when the total amount of educational time was controlled, the use patterns of after-school services did not explain the possibility of self-care. Based on these findings, it suggested policy implications and future research.

이번 두 기관 방문은 ‘SK와 함께하는 행복한 일자리지원센터’의 영국 국제연수의 일환으로 이루어졌다. 연수팀은(사) 부스러기사랑나눔회 행복한 일자리지원센터와 SK 사회공헌팀으로 구성되어 있었으며, 허인영 사무국장 외 8인으로 이루어져 있었다. 이번 연수는 영굴에서 학령기 아동에 대한 지역사회 아동보호 및 방과 후 보호. 교육을 탐방하고 우리나라 상황에 적용 가능한 사회적 기업 모델을 모색하는 데 그 목적을 두고 있었다. 필자는 이번 연수팀의 두 기관 방문에 동행하며 통역과 소개를 하는 역할을 맡게 되었다. 연수팀이 방문하기 전 이미 방문할 기관에 대한 사전접촉은 마쳐있는 상태였다. 우선 BAND(Bistol Association for Neighbourhood Daycare Ltd)라는 곳을 먼저 접촉한 후 그 기관을 통하여 CCK 방과후클럽(Cabet Cool Kics After School Club)을 소개받게 되었다. 두 기관이 가까운 거리에 위치해 있는 관계로 하루에 두 기관 모두 방문할 수 있었으며 방문은 지난 4월 26일에 이루어졌다.

This study empirically examines the effects of after-school self-care on children's development. More specifically, we examine whether the level of after-school self-care experiences that a child had during the 4 to 6 grade period affects the levels of school achievement, internalizing problem behaviors, externalizing problem behaviors, and delinquent behaviors during the child's middle school years. The study utilized the data from the Korea Welfare Panel Study's 1st and 4th year child supplementary surveys. The results show that the level of after-school self-care experiences negatively affects children's school achievement and internalizing problem behaviors. The study finds that, as the level of after-school self-care experiences increase, school achievement decreases and internalizing problem behaviors increase. The effects of after-school self-care on school achievement and internalizing behaviors were statistically significant even after controlling for the other variables that are known to be important factors on child development including child, parent, and family characteristics. The findings suggest that there is an independent effect of the level of after-school self-care on school achievement and internalizing problem behaviors. We also provide policy implications of the study. The policy considerations for latchkey children should include not only increasing the quantity of after-school programs, but also paying attention to the need of child development support programs beyond basic protection and care.

The purpose of this study is to verify qualitatively and quantitatively practitioners' perceptions of functions and roles of community child center which plays a pivotal role in afterschool care in Korea. To achieve its purposes, we investigate environments, services, workers, service users, and delivery systems of community child center. As a result, 4 types of perception of community child center(service integration-oriented type focusing on professional workers, care-oriented type based on child care center's physical environment, delivering service-oriented type working in collaboration with schools, and individual case management-oriented type) were examined. These results were also classified into two categories. One focused on the importance of workers and supports for service environments. The other focused more on the functions of community child center to find commonality and originality in other afterschool care systems. This study can be valuable in understanding practitioners' different perception on functions and roles of community child center which have not yet been confirmed statistically. The results allow us to apply diverse practitioners' perceptions to the practice, and to elicit discussions regarding improved practice directions for managing community child center. It also can provide useful baseline data in policy decisions and enforcement.

본 연구는 기초생활수급자 외에 복지 사각지대에 있는 차상위 계층 대상의 경제와 교육생활실태 그리고 복지욕구를 파악하여 사회복지전달체계의 복지안전망을 구축함으로써 기초생활수급자로 전락되지 않도록 하기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위해 경기도 고양시 거주민 중 차상위 계층 주민 408명을 대상으로 조사한 결과, 경제부문 중 전세금과 생활비 지출 부담으로 경제적 지원, 교육부문 중 양육비와 교육비 지원, 복지욕구 부문 중 방과후 교실과 무료 및 치과진료, 명절지원, 취업연계 및 교육서비스, 후원금 지원 등에 대한 욕구가 높았다. 따라서 차상위 계층에 대한 지역사회보호체계 확충과 서비스 대상자의 역량강화 모색, 가족구성별 맞춤형 프로그램 개발 및 운영 확대, 빈곤탈출을 위한 지원서비스 확대가 이루어질 수 있도록 사회변화에 맞는 사회복지정책 방향이 모색되어야 할 것이다.

국제적으로 관심이 증가되고 있는 지구 온난화와 환경문제는 제조업체, 유통업체, 서비스업체 뿐만 아니라 교육현장에 있어서도 매우 중요한 이슈이다. 창의성 증진에 대한 기대로 성장하고 있는 로봇교육은 OECD 및 EU 국가정부의 환경영향 카테고리인 유독성, 비에너지 자원고갈의 문제와 연결된다. 본 논문에서는 r-Learning을 위한 교구로봇교육에서 환경이슈를 고려하는 미래지향적 Green UCR(User Created Robots)에 대한 이론적 개념을 정립하고자 한다. 그리고 교과부에서는 '친환경 그린스쿨 조성사업'을 추진하고 있는데, 창의성 증진뿐만 아니라 환경보호에 대한 인지적 교육 효과가 매우 큰 초등학교의 Green 로봇교육은 제대로 조명받고 있지 못하는 실정이다. 이에 국내외 Green 로봇 제품 및 교육 현황을 살펴보고, 국내의 초등 방과후학교 로봇교실에서의 연간 전국 건전지 사용실태 추정수치와 교사의 Green UCR에 대한 이슈를 조사하여 제시하고자 한다. 마지막으로 이를 토대로 업체, 교육기관, 정부를 위한 그린 UCR 교육 서비스를 위한 가이드라인을 제시한다.
