No treatment was applied to the control group. According to the results of the experiment, the two experimental groups showed improvement in their perception of the necessity for parent-education programs.

본 연구의 일차적 목적은 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들이 양육효능감에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 양육효능감이 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들과 자녀양육 행동과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것인가를 분석하였다. 그리고 양육효능감, 자녀 양육행동, 아동 발달과의 상관관계를 살펴보았다 미국 내 거주하는 Early Head Start 프로그램 의 수혜 자인 저 소득층의 어머니와 영 아들을 (출생∼36개월) 대상으로 한 본 연구결과에 의하면 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인들로 어머니의 연령, 소득수준, 양육에서 오는 스트레스가 양육효능감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 양육효능감은 어머니의 특성과 관련된 요인, 특히 어머니의 연령과 양육행동과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다 양육효능감, 양육행동, 아동발달과의 상관관계 분석에서는 양육효능감과 양육행동에서만 유의한 정적인 강관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 지금까지의 선행연구들과는 맥을 같이하는 연구결과이지만, 저소득층(high-risk families)의 어머니와 영아를 대상으로 양육효능감을 포괄적이고 체계적으로 이해하고자 하였다는데서 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 나아가, 이 연구의 결과는 저소득층을 위한 아동 및 가족의 통합적 복지사업을 실천하는데 있어 의미가 있는 것으로 시사된다. 사회 경제적 자립을 위한 기회 제공과 자녀양육을 하는데 있어서 전문가의 직접적인 모델링을 통한 부모교육을 통해서 양육효능감을 향상시켜나갈 때, 아동 및 가족 복지 실현의 궁국적 목적을 이룰 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic factors, health behaviors and overweight and to provide information in the policy making process for ensuring health equity. Data of 66,249 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years were derived from the Ninth Korean Youth's Risk Web-based Study, which was conducted in 2013. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that overweight were related with gender, parental education, frequency of having breakfast, fruit consumption, vegetable consumption, snack consumption, and frequency of physical activity. Therefore public health programmes should target unhealthy behaviour of adolescents from lower socioeconomic groups to help prevent future life-course disadvantages in terms of health and social inequalities.

Objective: This study attempted to verify the effectiveness of parent education programs which emphasize parents' direct interaction with young children even when using digital devices. For this purpose, parents' play beliefs and their interaction with their children were evaluated by taking a pre-test and post-test. Methods: The subjects of this study were parents of young children attending child care centers. The collected data were analyzed by one-way covariate analysis (ANCOVA) to find out if there was a significant difference in post-test scores after controlling the pre-test as a covariate to minimize possible errors between groups before the experiment. Results: Parents, who had participated in the parent education program which emphasized parents' direct interaction with young children when using digital devices, showed higher increases of play support beliefs and parent-child interaction than the comparative group. Conclusion/Implications: This study confirmed that in order to develop digital fluency from early childhood, parents should avoid indiscriminate use of digital devices at home, maintain direct interaction with their children even when giving them digital devices to play with, and support healthy growth by way of continuing sensitive interaction with their children.

The participants were 256 female middle school students in Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do and the analysis was done using the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. The 6 portfolio-based teaching lessons were made with the aim of developing each subordinate scope in every module for development of self-receptiveness, uniqueness, closeness, tendency of planning the future, and independence. Results of the pre and post-test revealed that scores of self-receptiveness and uniqueness increased. Content analysis revealed that the students pursued their talents and interests through the portfolio activities, and made specific plans for their future careers. In sum, the results demonstrate that the students became specifically and systematically concerned about their future career. The results of hierarchical regression showed that self-receptiveness developed when their parents' attitudes were not rejecting and their peer relationships were positive. Uniqueness was shown to develop as the fostering attitudes of parents were receptive. Closeness developed as fostering attitudes of parents were receptive and as their relationships with peers were positive. The students' tendency to plan the future developed as fostering attitudes of parents were receptive and as their relationships with teachers were good, and independence was shown to develop as the fostering attitudes of parents were not rejecting. Results of a two-year follow-up study appeared that self-receptiveness scores decreased as time passed, so students had highest scores in their first year and lowest scores in their third year. Scores of uniqueness, tendency of planning the future, and identity increased in the students' second year and then remained steadily afterward.

The intent of this study is to fully investigate the major issues and challenges related to characteristics of gifted children from multicultural families in Korea. The gifted students of multicultural families are currently categorized as disadvantaged gifted students, but they need to be defined more deeply and separately due to the continuous increase of multicultural families. Most culturally different gifted children have common problem such as integrating into Korean culture, often suffering from emotional problems and their parents' economic disadvantage. Due to these problems a variety of issues arise. First, culturally diverse talented students have problems due to the alienation and the lack of equal opportunity given to gifted children of multicultural families in need. Secondly, another issue is whether or not the selection of these students for a gifted and talented program is administered equally and fairly. Thirdly students and teachers may have difficulty forming relationships. Fourth, there is a dire need to address the issue of a lack of formal education policy. for these students. Fifth, the formulation of a gifted and talented program solely for multicultural students is necessary. Sixth, educating the parents of such students remains a critical challenge. Seventh, the last issue arises from a lack of research regarding the identity of multicultural gifted children in Korea. In this study, we discuss each of these issues in-depth. Additionally the future of Korean Multicultural Gifted selection, training in the field, school direction and it's implications are discussed.

This study was conducted to survey students' current eating behavior and nutritional knowledge to provide researchers with basic data that can help students with positive, practical, and healthy eating habits. For this purpose, a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to students of a vocational high school located in Gyeongsangnam-do. A total of 270 questionnaires were collected from a convenience sample and the data were analyzed using SPSS Version 25.0. The results are as follows. First, 57.40% of students lived with "parents," and 55.56% of students' household monthly income levels were "Low." Second, as for the eating behavior of the subjects, the students who ate 'two meals' a day showed the highest at 64.81%, 'one meal' occupied 17.41%, and those who ate one meal a day, 'School cafeteria' was the eating place most frequently mentioned (65.96%). Third, when students were classified based on their nutritional knowledge levels, "High" group comprised 37.78%, "Moderate" group 37.41%, and "Low" group 24.81% of the total students. Regarding the experience of nutrition education, 64.44% answered 'no experience of nutrition education' in the last 12 months, and among the 35.56% of students who had received nutrition education, 72.92% received the education from school teachers. Based on these results, to prevent problems with the eating habits that can occur to vocational high school students, organic cooperation between families, schools, and local communities is required. Furthermore, full support from the government is needed. In addition, more efforts are needed for practice-oriented dietary education so that nutritional knowledge can be converted into correct eating behavior.
