This study intended to provide basic materials for establishing a diversity of plans for assisting childcare centers, by examining differences between self-evaluation and professional evaluation in childcare centers with less than 21 children. Data were collected from 7 childcare centers to measure evaluation in five categories of accreditation. Significant differences were found between self-evaluation and professional evaluation in "child care curriculum" and in "interaction between teachers and children." These results point up the handicap of heavy dependence on self-evaluation as it leads to self-assistance, with limited access to new ideas. On the other hand, "circuit assistance" where a consortium of 2~3 different childcare centers advise and assist each other could effectively stimulate a more professional outlook.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activities of people who provided childcare based on their perspectives and situations, and suggest strategies to improve the quality of care. This study collected data through in-depth interviews and analyzed the data using Gee's discourse analysis method. The participants were 13 people who provided childcare, and criticized the low wages and unfair treatment. The results of this study recommended three strategies to improve the quality of care: stable and reasonable wages, improvement in treatment and status, and a system of communication among people who were related to childcare. Compared to previous research, this study fundamentally questioned the quality of care and investigated the answer to improving the quality of care.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of parent- teacher communication on childcare teacher's job stress and turnover intention. This study also examined if the level of active stress coping used functions as a moderator in relationships among parent-teacher communication, childcare teacher's job stress, and their turnover intention. Methods: To achieve this, this study used data from 223 surveys from childcare teachers and analyzed the data with SEM and multi-group SEM analysis methods. Results: First, parent-childcare teacher communication influenced the teacher's turover intention through job stress. Second, the effect of parent-childcare teacher communication on job stress was not found in the higher-level of the active stress coping group. This was different from the significant effect in the lower-level of the active stress coping group. Also, parent-childcare teacher communication influenced teacher's turnover intention through job stress in the lower-level of the active stress coping group. In contrast, the mediation effect was not shown in the higher group. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study show the effect of parent-childcare teacher communication on teacher's job stress and their turnover intention. Also, this study shows that the level of active stress coping could moderate the relationship among parent-childcare teacher communication, teacher's job stress, and their turnover intention.

Objective: This study aims to explore ways to empirically analyze and manage childcare teachers' job stress based on their relationship with stress-related physiological indicators measured by a fitness tracker. Methods: The study participants were 27 childcare teachers in Gyeonggi-do and wore Garmin's wearable fitness tracker Vivosmart 4 for 15 days for three months. The collected information was analyzed for mean, SD, ANOVA, and correlation using JAMOVI 2.00. Results: First, among the daily changes of physiological indicators measured by a fitness tracker, the data collected on Mondays were significant. On Mondays, the stress index was high, the duration of the rest period was short, and the sleep time was short. The stress of childcare teachers showed a significant negative relationship with the body battery which was calculated by considering the duration of the rest period, heart rate variability, stress, and activity level. Also, the duration of deep sleep was positively correlated with a low degree of stress. There was a significant relationship between the childcare teachers' psychological indicators and the biomarkers measured by fitness trackers. Conclusion/Implications: Stress research using a fitness tracker is big data, and in-depth analysis is possible. Fitness trackers can collect and utilize repeated measurement data for each individual childcare teacher.

Objective: This research aims to examine whether the perception of professional competence among childcare teachers impacts the performance of respecting young children's rights, and whether the teacher-parent cooperative relationship mediates this association. Methods: The participants in this research were 220 teachers in Daejeon who assessed the performance of respecting young children's right, the perception of professional competence, and teacher-parent cooperative relationships through an online self-report questionnaire. The data collected in this study were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 program. Results: Firstly, the results of examining the impact of the perception of professional competence among childcare teachers and the teacher-parent cooperation relationship on childcare that respects the rights of young children showed that each variable has a statistically significant influence. Secondly, it was found that the perception of professional competence among childcare teachers directly impacts the performance of respecting young children's rights and, indirectly, through the mediating role of teacher-parent cooperative relationships. Conclusion/Implications: To ensure high-quality childcare for young children, it is essential to consider not only professional perception but also the cooperative relationship between teacher and parent.

본 연구는 영아와 어머니의 배경변인에 따라 어머니의 양육태도에는 어떠한 차이가 있으며 어머니의 양육태도와 영아의 기질 및 조화적합성이 보육시설에서의 적응에 어떠한 영향과 요인들 간의 미치는 상대적 영향력은 어떠한지를 알아보는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위한 연구대상은 현재 서울과 경기도 및 제주특별자치도 지역에 소재한 총 8개 보육시설에 재원중인 만2세 영아 165명과 어머니, 그리고 보육시설에서의 영아의 담임교사들을 대상으로 실시하였다. 연구결과 영아의 성별과 출생순위, 보육경험과 하루 평균 보육시설 이용시간, 그리고 어머니의 연령, 어머니 직업의 배경변인에는 차이가 없으나 어머니의 교육수준, 가정의 윌 평균 수입과 어머니의 주당 근로시간(일주일)에 따라 어머니의 양육태도는 차이가 있고, 보육시설 적응에 미치는 영향은 어머니의 통제적 태도와 긍정적 태도 그리고 영아의 규칙적 기질이었으며 보육시설에서의 전체적응에 미치는 상대적 영향력은 어머니의 통제적 태도와 긍정적 태도로 나타났다. 즉 어머니의 통제적 태도, 긍정적 태도가 높을수록 보육시설 전체 적응력이 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 어머니가 자녀를 엄격하게 통제하거나 자녀행동에 대해 통제하고자 하는 강한 엄포 분위기를 조성하기보다는 어머니가 자녀와 긍정적인 관계를 맺으며 개개 자녀에게 맞는 규칙과 훈육 및 적절한 통제성을 제시하여 자녀에 대해 긍정적으로 평가하는 양육태도로서 영아가 가정에서 어릴 적부터 부모로부터 긍정적 모자관계 형성을 통해 옳고 그름의 적절한 통제와 규칙과 규율을 배우면서 기본생활의 습관화 교육을 받은 자녀가 보육시설에서도 적응에 어려움이 없다는 의미로 해석 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 직장보육시설의 위탁운영형태별 이용 만족도를 도출하는데 목적을 두고 국 공 사립 이용학부모 400명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였는데 전체 연구결과를 종합해보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 직장보육요인으로서 위탁 직영 모두 보육 환경, 보육 프로그램, 유아교사의 질인 것으로 나타났으며 이들 보육 운영 요인이 잘 되어 있을수록 시설, 프로그램, 운영, 보육 지도에 대한 만족도가 높아지고 이들 관계의 충족에 따라 직장 보육시설의 이용에 대한 기대감을 높일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 직장보육시설 운영에 따른 차이비교에서도 규모에 있어 50~74명 규모가 가장 선호되고 직장 내 직접 운영보다 전문보육기관에 위탁이 선호되고 소재지 또한 직장 내 소재를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 이같은 결과는 최근의 영유아부모들의 맞벌이 추세의 증가에 따라 일반 유치원이나 어린이집보다 직장보육시설에 대한 높은 선호도를 알 수 있으며 이는 대규모 시설보다 50명 내외 중소규모가 선호되고 전문위탁운영기관에 의한 위탁을 통해 보육프로그램, 시설, 양질의 교사 확보 등이 선행될수록 만족도 또한 높아질 수 있음을 시사해주었다.
