Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of authentic parental competence and awareness of early childhood educational community on the life satisfaction of mothers with preschoolers depending on mothers' employment status. Methods: A total of 238 mothers (98 employed, 130 unemployed) whose children were attending early childhood institutes participated in a survey measuring three variables. Results and Conclusion: The findings of the study were as follows: First, there were positive correlations between authentic parental competence, awareness of early childhood educational community, and life satisfaction, regardless of employment status. Second, comparing employed mothers with unemployed mothers, a common variable affecting life satisfaction was social competence, a sub-variable of authentic parental competence. Further, self-system competence, a sub-factor of authentic parental competence, influenced life satisfaction for employed mothers, and sharing core values, a sub-variable of awareness of the early childhood educational community, influenced life satisfaction for unemployed mothers.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the "Authentic Parental Competence Scale" for mothers with school-age children. Based on a literature review, the study found that 'authentic parental competence' could be divided into parenting comperence, self-system competence, and social competence. In addition, the scale comprised three factors consisting of 43. The study collected data through behavior event interview(BEI), focus group interview(FGI), and three times Delphi investigation. The scale for mothers of school-age children consisted of a total of 129 items, which included three different dimensions (knowledge, skill, and attitude), and four factors were extracted from factor analysis following a survey of 362 mothers. The factors were labeled as "ability of developmental positive parenting," "ability of playing a role as a citizen and making social contributions," "ability of self-understanding and interpersonal relations," and "ability of self-growth and self-determination." In addition, the results revealed that the "Authentic Parental Competence Scale" showed an appropriate level of construct validity, reliability of the scales, distribution of item response, and item discrimination.

본 연구는 유아기와 아동기 자녀를 둔 어머니를 대상으로 준전문가로서 "부모 참 역량" 컨설턴트를 양성하는 프로그램을 개발, 적용하고 프로그램에 참여한 어머니들의 "부모 참 역량" 증진 효과를 통해 프로그램의 효과성을 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 유아와 아동 어머니 14명을 대상으로 프로그램을 실시하였으며, "부모 참 역량" 척도를 활용하여 이들의 "부모 참 역량"을 프로그램 사전, 사후에 측정하였다. 또한 프로그램 적용 후 어머니들의 "부모 참 역량"변화를 알아보기 위하여 개별 심층면담을 실시하였다. 양적 분석 결과, "부모 참 역량" 컨설턴트 양성 프로그램은 어머니의 발달적 양육 역량을 비롯한 "부모 참 역량"의 5개 하위요인 모두의 증진에 긍정적 영향을 미치고 있음이 나타났다. 질적으로는 어머니들은 대부분 본 프로그램에 참여 후 자신의 양육 역량(양육지식의 변화, 부모 역할에 대한 반성적 태도의 태동), 자기체계 역량(어머니 자신에 대한 이해 및 존중적 태도, 남편에 대한 배우자로서의 자기 인식, 부모로서의 부드러운 시선 및 따뜻한 이해), 사회적 역량(지인에 대한 공감적 이해의 움직임, "부모 참 역량" 컨설턴트로서의 역할 시도하기) 등의 변화를 이야기하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 부모교육의 내용과 방법에 관한 시사점을 제시하였다.
