In this paper, we propose a plan for prospective early childhood teachers to plan, design, and produce and the results of operating a teaching model. To this end, we will identify video content for each age and video content of various topics and video playback time required by early childhood education sites, actively collect opinions from workers currently in early childhood education institutions, and suggest ways to develop on-site video content in the university curriculum. This requires prospective early childhood teachers to improve their self-understanding capabilities, community capabilities, and creative convergence capabilities, including digital capabilities. Through this, we intend to contribute to fostering smart early childhood teachers and creating a kindergarten activity and environment applying the latest video technology.

While most Korean speech databases are developed for adults' speech, not for children's speech, there are various children's speech databases based on other languages. Because there are wide differences between children's and adults' speech in acoustic and linguistic characteristics, the children's speech database needs to be developed. In this paper, to find the differences between them in Korean, we built speech recognizers using HMM and tested them according to gender, age, and the presence of VTLN(Vocal Tract Length Normalization). This paper shows the speech recognizer made by children's speech has a much higher recognition rate than that made by adults' speech and using VTLN helps to improve the recognition rate in Korean.

최근 증강현실(Augmented Reality)에 대한 관심이 증대되고, 이와 관련된 기술들이 발전함에 따라서 증강현실이 다양한 분야에 적용하려는 시도가 늘어나고 이에 대한 활용에도 기대가 모아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 증강현실을 이용하여 유아용 학습 콘텐츠를 제작하고 구현하였다. 구현한 콘텐츠는 가상세계와 실제세계의 정확한 상호작용을 위하여 도서의 표지에 있는 마커에 유아에게 친숙한 캐릭터를 띄우므로 집중력을 높임과 동시에 학습보조자가 원활하게 콘텐츠를 사용할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 콘텐츠의 페이지마다 여러 마커를 동시에 두어 콘텐츠의 일부분이 장애물에 의해 가려지더라도 원활한 마커 인식을 할 수 있도록 하였고 상황에 맞게 3D 모델(2D, 동영상 포함)이 증강되는 동시에 사운드가 재생되도록 하여 학습에서의 현존감과 몰입을 높여 학습효과를 극대화하는 결과를 얻을 수 있도록 제작하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the story-retelling structure of tablet PC-based applications that designed to help infants to create stories. Owing to the popularization and the usability of smart devices, infants have become from content consumers to creators who reconstruct stories in creative ways, based on the stories they heard. In those participatory process, infants experience enjoying stories independently and expanding the meaning of texts. Story-retelling is an adequate methodology that cultivates creativity, expressiveness, and literacy ability to infant. Consequently, this study investigates three types of story-retelling in , , and , and searches structure elements and methods of story-retelling in integrated approach. In conclusion, the story-retelling applications that provide 'creative gap' have educational value, because they allow infants to demonstrate imagination by filling in the gap and to realize the rule of stories.

The 'spatial senses' mean environments and the instinctive responds to objects in the environments. The infancy is an important period to develop the basic capacity of the 'spatial senses'. Since young children can develop the 'spatial senses' throughout the actual and active search, it is essential for them to do experience through their physical actions. This paper proposes four motion based-contents for improving the spatial sense of young children: a bubble game, a cyber goalkeeper game, a mud-huddle game, and a shape recognition game. The proposed four games are implemented to the virtual learning environments. Also, the virtual learning environments utilize the realistic interfaces which can recognize motions of young children and then interact with the games as they do the movement at the virtual environments provided. Using the realistic interfaces not only develops young children's spatial sense but also offers them the pleasure and interest of self-study.

Understanding' the child has recently become one of the most important issues at the early childhood education. It comes from sympathizing with the opinion that understanding the child only by the characteristics of the developmental stages has a certain limit and it needs the deep understanding which can not be solved by the existing quantitative researching method only. This study suggests reading the child's culture from the point of the hermeneutical view as one method in order to understand the child wholistically. By this, it is possible to understand and to analyze the child deeply, our subject to understand, including the past, the current and the future of the child, and I hope that it will become one communicating way to share the life and the culture of the child.

This study proposes a mobile Augmented Reality (AR)-based "word card" learning tool for children aged 3 to 5. First, this study suggests a learning structure to improve motivation and immersion of learning, Secondly, it designs and implements the user interface applying the proposed learning structure. Also, it designs a content management tool supporting the production of the content so that instructors can easily manage the contents for various learners. This study is conducted by four steps - reference research, design of "word card" learning content for the learner, design of content management tool for the instructor and the effectiveness verification of the proposed content. The proposed content was designed based on an education content architecture for enhancement of immersion and motivation to study. Moreover, it includes an 'AR content management tool for instructor' designed to easily update AR education content. The class for six children aged 3 to 5 was given to validate the enhancement of immersion to study. Experiment results showed that the proposed content enhanced the study immersion and that special interaction design for early children was necessary.
