The children of sex workers in Bangladesh are denied even the most basic human rights. This article is based on recent research focused on the children of sex workers in the context of their everyday lives. The study focused on access to education and how education could be a vehicle for them to break the vicious cycle of exploitation. This was a mixed method interpretative study which employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, but in this paper only qualitative data which was generated through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions is used. Data was collected from sex workers, their children, teachers and NGO workers who participated in the study. Information has been collected for analysing the expectation of the children of sex workers and hope for the future, and the opportunities available to them during their schooling. Thematic analysis technique was used to understand the challenges and barriers faced by the children of sex workers in fulfilling their educational aspirations. The lives of the children of sex workers are marginalised by the mainstream society. Though it is very difficult to break the vicious cycle of exploitation, this research finds that education may be a stepping stone for them to create a better future. However, it is argued that the children of sex workers need income generating vocational and technical education to enable them to earn and support their family. Policy recommendations have been made in order to achieve Education For All targets and Millennium Development Goals, and to provide a second chance for these vulnerable young people to have a better life.

This study is to verify the effects of sensory education based on classroom activities for $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ grade children. The hypothesis is that children who participated in sensory education would demonstrate positive changes in eating behaviors through sensory experiences. The sensory education program consists of 12 lessons. Twenty-six children were being recruited from one school in Changwon, Korea. Two control groups, one of which was the same age as the educated group and the other group of sixth graders, were selected by random sampling from the same school. Children answered a self-administered questionnaire. The parents (n = 20) of the children who participated in the program, took part in evaluating the program through self-administered questionnaires after the program ended. The questionnaire contained variables of general characteristics, education satisfaction, nutrition knowledge, eating attitude and behavior concerning unfamiliar foods. The score of nutrition knowledge was improved in educated children (P < 0.05). Food neophobia score towards unfamiliar foods (P < 0.05) was increased in educated children, but there are no changes in eating behaviors in all groups towards unfamiliar foods. In conclusion, sensory education is useful for having a positive eating attitude among children. Its consistent implementation could lead to healthier and well-balanced eating behaviors for children.

본 연구에서는 영재교육대상자의 수학적 신념이 일반학급 학생과 차이가 있는지를 분석하고 영재 교육대상자로 선발된 학생이 수학영재교육을 받음으로써 수학적 신념에 어떤 변화가 생기는지에 대해 알아보았다. 이를 통하여 다음과 같은 연구 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 수학성취도와 수학적 신념 사이에는 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다. 둘째, 영재교육을 받기 전의 영재교육대상자와 일반아동의 수학적 신념을 비교한 결과, 영재교육대상자의 수학적 신념이 일반학급 학생에 비해 더 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 수학적 신념 중 하위영역인 수학학습에 대한 신념과 자아에 대한 신념에서 영재교육원의 영재교육대상자들의 신념이 부정적으로 바뀌었다.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of education for prevention of child sexual abuse (rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment etc.) of children in elementary school students. Incidences of sexual abuse in Korea is ranked 3rd in the world. Sexual abuse of children, particularly, is one of the most serious crimes that affect both the victimized children and their family. The issue related to sexual abuse of children has been ignored, and there is a lack of systematic education to prevent sexual abuse of children either for children or their parents. Furthermore, lack of knowledge and poor attitude of teachers limit their capability to provide education for sexual abuse prevention to the children. The education for teachers may change their knowledge of the sexual abuse and their attitude toward it and improve their capability in helping children. 223 Korean elementary school students participated in this study. Research design was One group pretest-posttest design. The education given to the subjects included 4 hours through the multimedia CD-ROM on the prevention of child sexual abuse. The education program was developed based on a survey. School- aged- children, parents, and teachers were interviewed to reveal their educational needs based on their experiences related to sexual abuse. This program includes such as safety education, crisis management, resource person(s), and phone numbers of available hospital. Data was collected before, during and after the education was given to the subjects, to assess their knowledge and attitude toward child sexual abuse. Two instruments were used in this study. Using Cronbach's ALPHA validity and reliability of 2 instruments were tested. The analysis of the data was done with Window SPSS 10.0 for descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA. The results of this analysis were as follows : 1. After education, the score of school nurses knowledge was higher than before(t= -4.677, p=0.000). 2. After education, the score of school nurses attitude was not higher than before (t=0.131, p=0.896). The findings from this study will provide an intervention strategy for prevention of sexual abuse in children.

본 연구는 학부모의 양육태도에 따른 영재교육에 대한 인식도를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 도시지역 3군데 J시, G시, I시와 농촌지역 4군데 J군, M군, 0군, I군에 소재한 공립유치원에 재학 중인 유치원생의 학부모 289명을 대상으로 학부모 양육태도가 애정적, 거부적, 자율적, 통제적인지를 분류하고 애정적-거부적, 자율적-통제적의 두 대립 성향에 따라 영재교육에 대한 인식도를 조사하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 영재아를 위한 부모교육을 활성화하고 거부적 양육태도를 가진 부모들이 자녀에게 충분한 애정을 느낄 수 있도록 해 주고, 자녀에게 자유로운 표현과 스스로 탐구하는 기회를 제공하고 자녀에 대해 허용감을 주고 완전히 수용해 주는 양육태도를 가지도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 둘째, 아동 개개인이 가지고 있는 각 분야의 영재성을 파악할 수 있는 전문적 소양과 자질을 갖춘 각 분야의 전문가 양성이 필요하다. 셋째, 연구소 성격의 전문 영재교육기관의 설립이 필요하다. 넷째, 국가적 차원에서 영재교육을 위해 무상교육 실시, 국립 영재교육기관 설립 확대, 영재교육 연구를 위한 연구소 설치 및 영재교육 전문가 육성, 각 영재교육관에 연구비 지원 등이 조속히 이루어져야 겠다는 결론을 얻었다.
