The data were analyzed based on the Borich request formula, the locus for focus model, and the independent sample t-test across the teacher groups. The results were as follows: Firstly, the most highly demanded teaching competency by the teachers was using tools interactively for character education. And the teachers, among the sub-elements, requested (a) recording and evaluating character education systematically, (b) using local or national resources, (c) planning member's participation, and (d) performing character education related activities systematically.

유아교육의 중요성을 인식하고 유아에 대한 무상교육범위확대, 유아교육의 초등학교와의 연계, 유아교육 담당 체제의 일원화, 맞벌이 부부를 위한 종일제 운영의 비용인화, 저소득층 유아에 대한 정책 등 국가차원에서의 대책을 마련하고 있다. 한국의 보육정책에서 무상 맞벌이 부부가 많아지고, 핵 가족이 증가하고, 이혼률의 증가로 보육의 필요성이 증가하였다. 우리나라 보육정책은 전체적으로 보육예산의 증가추세에도 불구하고 보육시설, 양육자의 보육료 부담으로 그 효율성에 많은 문제점이 드러나고 있다. 무상보육정책에 대한 이론적 내용과 그에 따른 보육지원정책을 알아본 후 무상보육정책에 대한 개선방향을 생각해보고자 한다.
