This study investigated perceptions of early childhood teachers about children of Female International Marriage Migrants(FIMM) and their classroom conditions. Data was collected from 117 teachers of kindergartens and day care centers in Jeonnam Province using a 28-item inventory composed of classroom conditions and perceptions of teachers about the children of FIMM. Results showed that over 70% of teachers' students were children of FIMM. Children's traits included poor language skills, confusion of identity, and socio-emotional problems due to passive interaction with peers. Programs specifically for FIMM and their children are rare. Teachers considered difficulties teaching children of FIMM are due to lack of economic support, hardship of managing multicultural curriculum, restrictions in application of that curriculum, and institutional inertia.

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale for evaluation of early childhood programs in Korea. The procedures included content validation and a pilot test. A total of 192 items in 10 major areas was developed based on the review of literature and discussions with professionals in early childhood education. The 10 areas include: scheduling, curriculum, interation, physical environment, materials, nutrition, health and safety, administration, staff qualifications, relationships with parents, and evaluation. The pilot scale was administered to 428 classroom teachers and directors, and 47 college professors in early childhood education. The items were rated on a 3-point scale in terms of importance as evaluation criteria. The methods for data analysis included item means and standard deviations for content validation, Cronbach ${\alpha}$ for reliability, and factor analysis for construct validity. Most items in 10 areas were rated as moderate to highly important (average 2.3), especially items in curriculum and staff qualifications. Two factors emerged from the data: institutional management, and curricular planning and implementation. The Cronbach ${\alpha}$ levels were .70 or higher in most areas, but the range covers from .48 to .91. Based on the pilot data, 143 items were selected for the second year study.

The purpose of this study was to determine early childhood education(ECE) and early childhood special education(ECSE) teachers' perceptions of (a)important teacher competencies needed for working in inclusive early childhood programs and (b)current levels of these competencies. Sixty-two ECE teachers and 77 ECSE teachers responded to the survey developed for this study. There were no differences between the ECE teachers and ECSE teachers in the ratings of importance of the competency domains. However, the ECSE teachers had significantly higher perceptions than the ECE teachers of their self-proficiency on competencies related to child development, curriculum and instruction, assessment procedures, working with other adults, and professionalism. Both the ECE and ECSE teachers perceived the greatest need for further training in competencies related to assessment procedures and working with families and other adults.

A large sample (1090) of randomly selected early childhood education professionals and government officials rated each of the 133 standards of "A Model for Institutional Accreditation for Early Childhood Education and Care"(Yang, 1999) on a scale of 1 (least important) to 5 (most important). Findings were that all kindergartens and child care centers should be evaluated for accreditation every 3 years with 3-6 months for self-study and on-site validation visits by representatives of the appropritates agencies for 1-2 days. Evaluation results are should be used by institution personnel as a guide to self-supervision, by government officials as a funding standard and by parents as criteria of program quality. Essential accreditation standards included: facilities and equipment; curriculum; nutrition, health and safety; administration and management; and support systems. Safety and teacher-child interactions were most highly rated while parent involvement was not highly rated.

본 연구는 유아교사의 교사효능감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 탐색하기 위해 현재 재직 중인 유아교사를 대상으로 자료 수집하여 202명 자료를 분석하였다. 대상자의 일반적 특성과 공감, 회복탄력성, 교사효능감에 대한 빈도분석, 상관분석, 다중 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 연구결과 유아교사의 교사효능감 영향요인은 교육경력, 직무성취도, 공감, 회복탄력성으로 확인되었으며 설명력은 57.2%로 나타났다(F=45.848, p<.001). 결론적으로 유아교사의 교사효능감은 회복탄력성(β=.480)이 높을수록, 직무성취도(β=.286)가 높을수록, 교육경력(β=.197)이 많을수록, 공감(β=.141)능력이 높을수록 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 유아교사의 교사효능감 증진을 위해 예비유아교사 시기부터 회복탄력성, 직무성취도, 공감능력을 증진시킬 수 있는 정규교육과 비정규교육과정을 융합한 교육과정 개발 및 교육이 요구된다.

본 연구는 교육 공공성의 개념적 요소에 비추어 현재 유아교육의 현황을 짚어보고, 향후 유아교육 발전을 위한 정책적 과제들을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. 정부 공식문서, 국책연구기관 보고서를 수집하여 정성적 문헌분석을 실시하였으며, 공공성 구성요소들을 준거로 하여 유아교육의 공공성 수준을 평가하였다. 연구결과 그 동안의 우리나라의 유아교육 정책은 누리과정 도입 등 유아교육의 공공성을 강화하는 방향으로 추진되어 왔다. 공공성의 양적 확대는 이루어졌으나, 이제는 공공성의 질적 강화에 초점을 둔 정책방향의 재설정 및 제도보완이 요구된다. 본 연구는 유아교육 전반에 대한 재검토 방향에 대한 시사점을 제공하였다.
