The purpose of this study was to investigate false belief understanding and justification reasoning according to information of reality amongst children aged 3, 4 and 5. Children aged 3 to 5 years (N = 176) participated in this study. Each child was interviewed individually and responded to questions designed to measure his/her false belief understanding. Every child responded to the false belief task under two different information conditions of reality(reality known vs reality unknown). For more specific analysis, children's reasoning responses were also recorded. The major findings of this study are as follows. Children could understand false belief more easily under reality unknown conditions. Specifically, the influences of information conditions were crucial to 3-year-olds but not to 4- and 5-year-olds. Although 3 year olds were able to avoid the systematical errors inherent in the false belief task, they still did not understand the false belief itself. This study provides specific aspects of false belief understanding and its relevance to general changes in cognitive development.

This study examines the effects of teacher's emotional intelligence on teacher-child interaction through the sequential mediation effects of efficacy belief about play and professional recognition. Participants were 268 teachers working at kindergartens in Gyeonggi area. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistic, Pearson's product-moment correlation, and the structural equation model using the SPSS 21.0 and Mplus 6.12 program. The main findings of this study are as follows: First, in regards to the relationship between emotional intelligence and teacher-child interaction, a single mediation effect of efficacy belief about play is significant. But there is no significant mediation effect of the professional recognition. Second, in regards to the pathway from emotional intelligence to teacher-child interaction, the professional recognition precedent mediation model is statistically significant, but efficacy belief about the play precedent mediation model is not significant. Based on the results, a concluding discussion was made regarding methods toward enhancing interaction between teacher and child.

The purpose of this study was to investigate relations between the congruence of parent-child beliefs and child's perceived competence. The subjects were 138 children (68 eight-year-olds and 70 eleven-year-olds) and their parents. Instruments were the modified Family Belief Interview Schedule (Alessandri & Wozniak, 1987), and Harter's Perceived Competence Scale. Data were analyzed by Pearson's product moment correlation and two-way ANOVA. There were significant differences in child's perceived cognitive competence, social competence and physical competence by degree of congruence between child's belief and maternal belief. Younger children showed a higher level of general self-worth perception while older children showed a lower level. Children who showed a high congruence of beliefs with parents perceived their competence more highly than those with low congruence. This tendency was particularly outstanding in the perception of cognitive competence, implying a positive impact of the congruence of parent-child beliefs on children's perceived cognitive competence.

이혼가정자녀들의 부모이혼 후 적응방법을 찾기 위해 부모갈등, 부모양육태도 그리고 이혼에 대한 지각이 이혼 후 자녀들의 행동적응에 미치는 경로를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 부모가 이혼한 가정의 자녀 261명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용한 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 구조방정식모형(SEM)을 사용해 분석되었다. 나타난 결과를 요약하면, 부모간 갈등은 부모의 양육태도와 이혼에 대한 지각에 직접적인 영향을 미치며 아동의 행동문제에는 간접적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 부모의 양육태도는 이혼지각에 직접 영향을 주며 아동의 행동문제에 간접적인 영향을 미치나 총효과를 보면, 이혼지각에 더 강력한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 부모의 양육태도가 부정적일수록 아동의 부모이혼에 대한 지각은 더욱 부정적으로 나타나며, 이혼에 대한 부정적 인식이 아동의 행동문제를 강력하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 부모의 양육태도에 따라 아동의 이혼에 대한 인식이 달라질 수 있음을 시사한다. 파악된 현상을 근거로 이혼 후 자녀들의 행동적응을 위한 예방과 전략이 모색되었다.

This study examines the effect that mathematics teaching efficacy has on teacher's mathematics education practices. Data was obtained from 220 kindergarten teachers who responded to the questionnaire, the mathematics teaching efficacy belief instrument (developed by Enochs). Among these 220 teachers, upper and lower 5 % of the teachers on mathematics teaching efficacy belief were chosen to identify the influence of mathematics teaching efficacy on mathematics activity style, teaching strategy, and teacher-child interaction. The results indicated that teacher's interest in math, previous participation in mathematics teaching method course mainly influenced mathematics teaching self-efficacy. Teachers with high mathematics teaching efficacy belief preferred providing mathematical learning activity than providing other learning areas. They employed effective mathematics teaching strategy such as high and medium cognitive distancing strategy and established positive teacher-child relationship. Implications for teacher education and professional development activities were discussed.

This study aimed to identify the contributors of extra-curricular activities of preschool children focusing on home environmental factors(financial capital, human capital, and social capital) and maternal belief about factors on academic achievement(child's effort, child's ability, teacher's instruction, and maternal teaching). One hundred and seventy three mothers whose preschool children were attending child-care centers in Seoul and Kyunggi-Do participated in the survey. Kinlaw et al.(2001)'s Importance of Effort/Ability Scale was used to assess the mother's belief about the factors on academic achievement. Stipek et al.(1992)'s Activities Sub-scales was revised to measure a social capital, that is the mother's formal and informal activities providing to their preschool child. Educational level was utilized as human capital and monthly income was considered as financial capital. Also, using open ended questions, the subjects were asked to respond to the numbers of extra-curricula activities their child was presently attending, and when he or she began to attend the extra-curricular activity. The main results are as follows. In general, the mothers provided informal activities to their preschool child more than formal activities. Also, they believed the teacher's instruction is the most important and the child's ability the least important in their child's academic achievement. The number of extra-curricular activities was predicted by mothers' formal activities and their belief on their child's ability. The age of starting extra-curricular activities were explained by mothers' formal activities and their educational level.
