The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of child, day care, and home variables that influence physical and relational aggression of preschool children. The participants were 338 four and five year olds recruited from day care centers. Children's self-regulation, day care experiences and parenting stress were reported by mothers. Children's aggression and the teacher-child relationships were measured by teachers. The results showed that self-regulation was negatively correlated with physical and relational aggression. Years of day care experiences and parenting stress were positively related with physical and relational aggression. Moreover, teacher-child conflicts were positively associated with physical as well as relational aggression.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mind understanding, popularity, and friendship of preschool children. A total 1444-and 5-year old children participated in this study. The children were assessed on false belief, emotion understanding, language skill, and popularity in peer groups. Their teachers rated the children's friendship qualities. Significant differences in mind understanding based on social status and friendship status were found. Popularity, number of mutual friend, PPVT, and positive interaction between friends were found to be significant predictors of children's mind understanding.

This study investigated the relationship between preschool children's social competence and perceived social support. The subjects were 85 children enrolled in 10 kindergartens and nurseries located in Seoul. Social support was assessed by children themselves with a social support dialogue Cask, "My Family and Friends," developed by Reid, Lamdegman, and Jaccard (1989). This task consists of 12 dialogues based on Vygotskian principles. Social competency was assessed by teachers with a slightly modified version of Song's Iowa Social Competency Scale (ISCS). The data were analyzed by frequencies percentiles, mean, one-way ANOVAs, and Pearson's correlations. Results showed that (1) Children perceived parents to be the best multi-purpose social providers: mothers for emotional support and fathers for instrumental support. (2) Children with unemployed mothers perceived higher maternal emotional, informational, and instrumental support than children with employed mothers. (3) Middle-class children perceived higher friendship support than upper-or lower-class children. (4) Friendship support was the one variable most significantly related to children's social competence.

This study aims to investigate any differences which exist in the early adaptation of infants at child care center according to the characteristics of the infants themselves, their mothers and their child care teachers. The subjects consisted of the infants themselves, their mothers, and teachers at 11 child care centers in Chung-nam and Daejeon cities. Data were collected by means of the PAQ (The Preschool Adjustment Questionnaire) and questionnaires regarding the rearing attitudes of the mothers. For the purpose of data analysis, a T-test and one-way ANOVA were used. The results were as follows. First, there were significant differences in terms of the early adaptation of infants according to their ages and their length of experience in child care centers. Second, there were no significant differences in the early adaptation of infants according to the child rearing attitudes of the mothers and between unemployed mothers and the employed mothers.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the problems and improvement areas by reviewing the laws related to kindergarden healthcare workers. Methods: The laws were searched at the Korean law information center (https://www.law.go.kr/). We reviewed the 「Early Childhood Education Act」, 「School Health Act」, 「Medical Service Act」, 「Elementary and Secondary Education Act」and their enforcement decrees and rules. Results: The legal role of health teachers as school healthcare professionals was comprehensively specified by the 「School Health Act. However, the qualifications for and roles of health teachers were not fully described in 「Early Childhood Education Act], indicating a unclear legal basis for the qualifications for and roles of kindergarten health teachers. To support healthcare workers in kindergartens, it is necessary to amend the 「Early Childhood Education Act」 that provides the guidelines for qualifications for kindergarten health teachers in elementary, secondary, and special schools who have completed necessary continuing education. A health hub kindergarten could be a step-by-step option for all kindergartens to have healthcare workers. Conclusion: This review demonstrated the importance of amending the laws on kindergarten health teachers and health hub kindergartens for child health and safety. These findings could be used to support policies related to kindergarten healthcare workers.

본 연구는 어린이집에서 유아들이 사용하고 있는 칫솔의 칫솔마모 상태를 평가하여, 유아의 칫솔 교체시기에 대한 적절한 기준을 확립하는 데 도움을 주고자 2012년 9월 20일부터 11월 6일까지 1,022개의 칫솔을 수거한 뒤 칫솔마모도 및 마모율을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 칫솔마모도 측정 결과, 조사 대상 칫솔 중 48.5%가 0.400 이상의 마모도를 보였고, 평균 마모도는 $0.421{\pm}0.239$로 조사되어, 전체적으로 높은 칫솔마모도를 보였다. 2. 칫솔마모율 측정 결과, 마모율 2점과 3점이 차지하는 비율이 70.4%였으며, 평균 마모율은 $1.936{\pm}0.848$로 나타나 전체적으로 높은 칫솔마모율을 보였다. 3. 칫솔관리 실태에 대한 조사 결과, 평균 칫솔 교환주기는 5~8주가 63.9%로 가장 많았고, 칫솔 교환방법은 칫솔모의 마모 상태에 따라 교체한다는 응답이 52.7%로 조사되었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로, 유아들의 칫솔에 대한 관리가 적절히 이루어질 수 있도록 보육을 담당하는 교사 및 보호자에 대한 지도가 필요할 것이며, 유아의 올바른 칫솔 교체주기에 대한 명확한 기준 확립과 효율적인 구강보건교육 방안도 마련되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 연변 지역간 유아교육여건의 현황을 분석하고 정책적 시사점을 제기하였다. 분석변수로는 기관수, 학급당 유아수, 정교사당 유아수, 정교사비율, 유아당 사용면적수, 유아당 도서량을 사용하였고 가장 간단한 불평등 측정지수인 범위와 표준편차를 사용하여 연변의 지역간 현황을 분석하였다. 2011년, 2012년, 2013년의 통계자료를 활용하여 분석한 결과, 연변 지역간 유아교육여건은 분석변수와 측정지표에 따라 다양한 양상을 보였으나, 전반적으로는 개선되고 있다. 그러나 일부 지표에서는 지역간 격차가 심화되고 있고 결론에서는 분석결과를 바탕으로 유아교육의 기회균등을 제고하기 위한 정책적 제언을 제시하였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate booklets and video clips to prevent children from picky eating. Methods: Based on a survey conducted on food preferences of preschool children aged 2 to 5 years, 14 kinds of less preferred vegetables were selected. Accordingly, educational videos, activity books, and teaching-learning guides were produced for preschool children using the 'food bridge' theory, and the educational materials were named "Friendly vegetables". Educational materials were distributed to childcare institutions, and their effectiveness was investigated for preschool children who were instructed on these materials once every 30 days from March to November, 2019. The children were examined for changes in their knowledge of names, colors, taste/texture, methods of cultivation, and preferences for vegetables before and after the instructional course. Results: The awareness of vegetables increased significantly in younger children and the picky eating group. When the assessment was carried out in terms of vegetable knowledge, it was observed that the younger the age or the pickier the in eating food, the more effective the education is compared to the counter part. The preference for vegetables also increased after the instruction compared to the pre-instruction period, but significant changes were seen only in the 2~3 year age group for boys and girls. Also, only the picky group of girls showed changes in preference. The children's average interest in the education materials was 3.85 points out of 5 points. Conclusions: Through this study, we have developed educational materials for standalone use in childcare facilities and confirmed that they have a significant effect on improving awareness and preferences related to vegetables. In summary, the younger the age or the pickier the child in eating food, the more effective the education. It is believed that additional education on mealtime guidance is needed which can alter the eating behavior of preschool children and improve their diet. It is proposed to widen the scope of use of the materials by collecting diverse opinions from child care teachers.
