The foster care system is a social welfare service that supplements the functions of the family while enabling children, who cannot receive proper care from their biological parents, to receive the necessary protection under the plan within the prescribed period of time within a substitute or foster family. A large part of the emotional instability experienced by foster care children is interpersonal maladjustment. Low self-esteem leads to difficulty in forming social relationships due to negative interpersonal relationships. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of traditional dance programs on the foster children who live in Daejeon Metropolitan City. A comparison between the pre- and post-interpersonal scores showed that the scores were improved after the traditional dance program, and the children's intimacy formation and communication were also improved. The participants were less active at the beginning of the program, but became more interested and more active toward the middle of the program. The majority of the participants increased their degree of communication with the formation of intimacy toward the middle of the program, and their self-confidence improved in terms of their peer relationships. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of traditional dancing on the development of interpersonal relationships. In a subsequent study, a traditional dancing program consisting of various contents will be applied over a long period of time, which should provide them with the opportunity to improve their interpersonal skills. In addition, it is necessary to provide educational opportunities for helping foster children reduce their emotional instability with systemic and diverse traditional dance programs.

The purpose of this study was to examine how a singing program using self-voice monitoring for children with cochlear implants (CI) influences on the intonation and the accuracy of pitch production. To verify and estimate the effectiveness, a program was conducted with participants of 7 prelingual CI users, whose aged between 4 years and 7 years. The program adopted three stages from the self-voice monitoring: Listen, Explore, and Reproduce (LER stage). All participants received 8 singing sessions over 8 weeks, including pre-test, intervention, and post-test. For the pre and post-test, participants' singing of an excerpt of a song "happy birthday" and speaking three assertive sentences and three interrogative sentences were recorded and analyzed in terms of the intonation slopes at the end of the sentences and the melodic contour. From the sentence speeches, we found that the intonation slopes of the interrogative sentences significantly improved as they showed similar patterns with that of the average normal hearing group. Also, in regard to singing, we observed that the melody contour had progressed, as well as the range of pitch production had extended. The positive result from the intervention indicates that the singing program was effective for children with CI to develop the intonation skill and accuracy of pitch production.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to provide evidence for a systematic analysis of occupational therapy evaluations and interventions for the activities of daily living of children and adolescents. Methods : The research period was from 2010 to September 2019. The articles were collected from the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) and Koreanstudies Information Service System (KISS) databases. The key words were 'pediatric occupational therapy & activities of daily living', 'pediatric occupational therapy & self care', 'pediatric occupational therapy & self management', 'pediatric occupational therapy & occupation', 'occupational therapy & eating', 'occupational therapy & AMPS (Assessment of Motor and Process Skills)', 'occupational therapy & WeeFIM (Functional Independence Measure for children'. Results : A total of 14 studies were analyzed, the qualitative level IV, V of the study was 72% of the total research. The diagnosis of participants included 50% intellectual disorder and 20% brain lesion, including cerebral palsy. The most frequently used method to assess the activities of daily living was Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The most frequently used method to therapy was sensory integration therapy. The intervention effect of all studies was positive, however, the use of group programs on the occupational therapy on children with intellectually disorder didn't work. Conclusion : In Korea, there are no articles that systematically analyze whether occupational therapy improves the activities of daily living in children and adolescents.

참여적 디자인은 사용자의 경험을 디자인 하기 위한 방법으로, 사용자 자신이 디자인의 주체가 되어 자신의 아이디어를 적극적으로 제안하고 반영하는 방법을 말한다. 우리는 만 3~5 세의 미취학 아동을 참여 디자인의 사용자 대상으로 하였으나, 이 연령대의 어린이는 자신의 의사를 제대로 표현할 수 있는 능력이 부족하여 자신의 느낌과 생각을 정확히 전달하기 어려우므로 전통적인 참여적 디자인 방법을 그대로 사용하는 것은 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 사례를 통하여 실제 어린이 사용자를 대상으로 한 참여적 디자인 방법을 소개한다. 실제 유치원과의 긴밀한 연계를 통해 진행하였으며 현직 유치원 교사가 전체 디자인 프로세스에 참여하였다. 디자인 아이디어를 도출하고 검증하는 단계와 프로토타입의 파일럿 테스트 단계에서 어린이들이 직접 참여하였으며, 그들의 반응과 의견이 디자인에 적극적으로 반영되었다. 본 연구는, 어린이 제품의 디자인을 위해 실제 어린이 교육 기관과 연계한 새로운 형태의 참여적 디자인 방법의 개발과 적용에 대한 사례를 보여준다.

The current study investigated whether in-group bias affects 5- to 6-year-old children's resource-allocation decisions. In Experiment 1, participants were asked to allocate 10 stickers between a friend (an in-group member) and a stranger (an out-group member). Children allocated significantly more stickers to friends than to strangers, suggesting that they made distributive decisions in favor of their in-group members, when they were not the beneficiary of a resource-allocation. In Experiment 2, we examined whether being one of the recipients in the resource-allocation game would affect children's decisions. The procedure was identical to that of Experiment 1 except that participants were asked to allocate stickers between themselves and a friend or a stranger. The children showed selfish distributions regardless of recipients. These results indicate that when children become one of the recipients in a resource-allocation, their self-interests override their preference for in-group members.

인터넷 기술의 급격한 발달과 함께 인터넷은 교수-학습 도구로서의 중요한 역할을 하게 되었다. 타 교과 교육과 마찬가지로 음악교육에서도 중요성이 나날이 증가하고 있다. 음악교육이 의미 있게 이루어지기 위해서는 음악에 대한 기본 개념을 이해하고 이를 바탕으로 학생 스스로가 능동적으로 참여하는 활동이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 교수방법에서 한 단계 발전하여 플래시를 활용한 교수 학습 모형을 제시하고자 한다. 텍스트와 플래시 애니메이션으로 구성된 학습내용은 아동의 적극적인 참여로 진행되도록 설계 구성하였으며 학습내용의 결과를 즉시 확인할 수 있어 텍스트위주로 학습할 때 보다 쉽게 이해할 수 있을 것이다. 플래시를 음악교과에 적극적으로 활용한다면 학습효과는 커질 것으로 예상한다.
