This study attempted to investigate household's private educational expenditure that aggravates a burden on households by using the data from the 2014 Private Education Survey published by Statistics Korea. The effects of purposes of private education and participation in an after school program that is pushed by the government on household's private educational expenditure were analyzed. The major findings were as follows. First, the major purposes of private education lean toward preparing to enroll in school and relieving parents'uneasiness rather than prior learning Second, according to the purposes of private education, the differences of the private educational expenditure were verified. Households spend the highest level of private educational expenditure for the purpose of preparing to enroll in school contrary to the lowest level, which was for the purpose of compensatory learning. Third, participation in an after school program that is regarded as a method of moderating households' private education burden, had a positive effect on reducing private educational expenditure. Forth, private educational expenditure was influenced by the purposes of private education and participation in an after school program. In 2014, the Korean government enforced a law that prohibits schools'education in advance (prior learning) and regulates private educational institutes'advertisement about prior learning. Regarding this regulation, this study aimed to investigate the purposes and expenditure of private education to provide an empirical reference to determine the improvement of related policies.

This study reviews the current status of Korean first graders, their experience with early care and education (ECE) programs, and their participation in private and after-school education. The research also examines how school adjustment during the first grade is related to family income, types of ECE programs, and participation in private and after-school education. Using the first year data of the Korean Child and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) 2010, this study analyzes 752 first graders who attended only one of two types of ECE programs (child care centers or kindergartens), after which two 25% income extremes were examined. The analysis demonstrates that children from low-income households attended child care centers more often, while children from high-income households attended kindergartens more often. For both low-income and high-income groups, child care centers had a lower starting age and longer attendance periods than did kindergartens. High-income household children started attending ECE programs earlier, experienced more private and after-school education, and received a larger number of private and after-school educational lessons. For the second research purpose, children from low-income families showed better peer relations in school adjustment, while children attending child care centers showed better teacher relations than children attending kindergartens. Children with after-school education also exhibited better peer relations. These findings show the importance of government support for early learning, especially for low-income families and offer a foundation for developing private education polices for early childhood before and after school entry.

자녀의 사교육비 지출은 정치, 경제, 사회 등 국민 생활 전반에 걸쳐 막대한 영향을 미치고 그 부작용이 심각하여 한국사회의 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 통계청에서 수집한 2008년도 사교육비 실태조사 자료 중 일반사교육비 지출과 방과후 프로그램 참가비의 두변수에 대하여 지역, 초 중 고 등 학교급 구분, 가구소득, 학생 성적, 별, 사교육 참가시간 등의 인구동태적 변수들의 영향을 알아보는 다중 선형 회귀분석을 수행 하였다. 분석결과 일반 사교육비 지출과 방과후 프로그램 참가비에 뚜렷한영향을 미치는 요소로는 지역과 학교급구분이고 나머지 변수들은 의미있는 영향력을 보여주지 못하였다. 일반 사교육비 지출에 대한 지역의 영향을 보면, 서울지역>광역시, 중소도시>읍면지역 순으로 지출에 상당한 차이가 있음을 보여주었다. 방과후 참가비에 대한 지역의 영향을 보면 서울지역, 광역시, 중소도시>읍면지역 의 순으로 지출이 많았는데 서울과 기타도시의 차이가 없다는 것이 일반 사교육비의 경우와 다른 특징이다. 학교급 구분에서는 일반사교육비의 경우 일반계 고교생에 대한 지출이 초 중생이나 전문계 고교생에 비하여 약 17% 지출이 더 많았다. 이는 대학입시 위주의 교육 풍토와 사교육 시장이 관련이 있음을 보여준다고 할 수 있다. 방과후 학교 참가비의 경우 일반계고, 초등학교> 전문계고> 중학교 의 순서이다. 초등학생은 사교육비의 부담을 덜기 위해서, 그리고 일반계 고등학생의 경우는 방과후 학교에서 내신에 도움을 주는 프로그램을 제공하기 때문으로 추측할 수 있다.

This study explored pathways from mothers' beliefs to children's subjective well-being through children's private after-school activities and stress levels. A sample of 230 6th grade elementary school students (125 boys and 105 girls) in Seoul completed questionnaires on children's stress and subjective well-being. Their mothers responded to questionnaires on mothers' beliefs and children's private after-school activities. Data were analyzed by means of Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analyses. Our results demonstrated that mothers' beliefs indirectly influenced children's subjective well-being through both children's private after-school activities and stress levels. Neither children's private after-school activities nor children's stress mediated between mothers' beliefs and children's subjective well-being. Mothers' beliefs also had a direct effect on children's subjective well-being. Significantly, both mothers' beliefs and children's stress played crucial roles in improving children's subjective well-being.

This study investigates inequality of the private educational expenditure using the Family Expenditure Survey of 1990, 1996, 1998, and 2000. The major results are: first, inequality of the private educational expenditure has been relived between 1990 and 2000; second, despite decrease in household income right after the Korean economic crisis, the private educational expenditure has been increased in the households having middle and high school students; third, the gaps in the private educational expenditure between income groups are mainly due to the differences in the spending levels of the private education rather than differences in the percentages of households who spend any in the private education; fourth, in 2000, the gini coefficient of the private educational expenditure among households having elementary school student is 0.4832, and 0.6468 among households having middle and high school students; fifth, 30% of the households having middle and high school students who show the highest level of the private educational expenditure occupy 80% of the total private educational expenditure made by the whole households.

민간참여 컴퓨터교실은 지난 10여 년간 초등학교의 정보화 교육과 교육정보인프라 구축에서 상당한 기여를 하였으나 방과후 학교에 통합되면서 공교육의 정보교육과의 관계에 오해를 가져오게 되었다. 이러한 관점에서 민간참여 컴퓨터교실의 성과를 돌아보고, 평가결과를 토대로 향후 방과후 학교에서 운영상의 필요성과 개선점을 살펴보는 것이 정보교육에 매우 중요하다 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 민간컴퓨터교실 운영이 왜 필요한지를 정리하고, 현재의 문제점을 개선하기 위한 발전적인 모델을 제시하여 향후 방과후 학교에서 민간참여 컴퓨터교실이 정보교육에 중요한 역할을 수행할 수 있는 방향을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the policies for reducing private tutoring expenditure in Roh Mu Hyun and Lee Myeong Bak Government using Causal Loop analysis based on the Systems Thinking perspective. The results are as follows. First, high educational achievers receive more private tutoring than lowers and children who have rich parents have better chance to take private tutoring than the others. It reflects the social characteristics which emphasize the academic ability and educational background. Second, two governments implemented educational policies to control the private tutoring expenditure as balancing loops ; strengthening public education, providing after school programs and EBS KSAT teaching and improving the entrance exam of university. Third, they overlooked the unintended feedback loops coming from 1) incongruity between causes and countermeasures of shadow education 2) wrong perception of substitutional relationship between public education and shadow education 3) side effect of the policy increasing the weight of student record 4) problems of diversifying high schools 5) dilemma of easing the burden of testing through admission officer system. The conclusion is that policies of reducing the private education expenses have failed because two governments don't consider unintended Feedback Loops in the process of making education policies. So we have to make policies based on Systems Thinking and reducing private education expenses should not be the purpose of strengthening the public education.

School activities which are opened after-school or during a vacation have been social issues as our society is nuclearized and both parents are working, so that elementary school students and middle school students are less taken care of and less concerned by their parents. It is regrettable that students are spending too much time on private academies in the situation where they cannot help but staying alone after school and where frantic fever of private education pervades their lives. For the sake of those students, the Ministry of Education announced, "Each school can open its after-school programs or vacation programs based on students and their parents' demands making it a rule of a student's voluntary participation. After school programs for elementary and middle school students are operated by local communities providing extra courses or programs in addition to regular classes. Those programs are paid by participants or supported by financial aids in order to decrease parents' burdens of costs of private education and to reduce educational gaps between rich and poor children or between the regions. After school programs are either curricular or non-curricular educational activities with students' voluntary participation, and the programs are meant to supplement and strengthen the role of public school education. Non-curricular courses that consist of various programs, in particular, are receiving good reputations by students and parents. Therefore, this study develops and operates "children's making D.I.Y. furniture" program that is one of non-curricular courses and an activity-oriented art program for children to improve their designing creativity and to help them experience their future jobs in advance. The purpose of this study is to analyze advantages and disadvantages of the program using survey and assessment methods and to find out a developmental direction focused on future-oriented and specialized educational programs for children.

'교구로봇' 교육은 영재교육과 경진대회를 통하여 초등학생과, 학부모, 교사에게 기대와 인식이 매우 보편화 되었으며, 창의성과 통섭교육에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 초등학교 방과후 학교의 로봇교육은 더욱 증가할 것으로 보인다. 그러나 방과후 로봇 교실 운영에 대한 초등현장의 교구로봇 교실 운영 실태조사가 이루어지지 않고 있을 뿐만 아니라 지도교사 양성이나 체계적인 프로그램 운영 관리가 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구는 지역별, 지역단위별, 공 사립별, 학급수별에 따른 초등학교의 방과 후 '교구로봇' 교실의 운영실태 및 담당 지도교사의 인식을 조사하여 문제점을 파악하고 보다 바람직하고 효율적인 방향으로 방과후학교 로봇 교실이 정착될 수 있도록 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면 지역별, 지역단위별, 학급수에 따른 '로봇교실'의 실시현황은 유의미한 차이를 보였으며, 수업을 운영함에 있어 가장 큰 문제는 반편성 방법에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 방과후학교 수업을 통하여 기대하는 효과에 대하여 지도교사들은 사교육비 절감 및 창의력 향상을 가장 기대하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
