The purposes of this study were (a) to ascertain early childhood teachers' beliefs and practices relative to the developmentally appropriate practices, and (b) to determine the relative differences of child care center teachers' beliefs and practices and kindergarten teachers' beliefs and practices. Although interest in obtaining information regarding teachers' beliefs and practices for developmentally appropriate practices in early childhood education is not new, it has commanded considerable attention recently, reflecting concern about growing fragmentation and discontinuity between the early childhood education and care services. A questionnaire measure of 4-and 5-year-old classroom teachers' beliefs and practices based on the guidelines for developmentally appropriate practices of the National Association for the education of Young children, which was consisted of the Teachers' Beliefs Scale(TBS) and the Instructional activities Scale(IAS), was administered to 215 child care center teachers and 215 kindergarten teachers. Positive correlations were found not only between teachers' beliefs and practices but also between developmentally appropriate belief and activities, and between developmentally inappropriate beliefs and activities. There was significant difference between child center and kindergarten teacher groups on the mean scores of each subscale, revealing that kindergarten group had a greater mean score on both TBS and IAS than child care center group. The results of this study implies that there is a great deal of teaching in either child care centers or kindergartens which is not congruent with developmentally appropriate practice. Also, the information obtained with the questionnaire has supported the contention that early childhood education and care services are need to be amalgamated based on the developmentally appropriate practices.

This study explored the beliefs and practices of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) in 83 principals and 83 teachers of public and private kindergartens in Pusan and Ulsan. The research instruments was a teacher questionnaire by Kang(2000). Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA. Results showed that educational and career variables were unrelated to the DAP beliefs of principals, but there were differences in DAP beliefs by career variables of teachers. Teachers' use of DAP varied as a function of children's age and of combined levels of beliefs of principals and teachers.

This study discusses the interpretation and application of a post modern perspective to child development knowledge and early childhood teacher education. The survey of literature focused on the post modern approach to child development knowledge and early childhood teacher education, research in the reassessment of child development knowledge as it is challenged by the post modern perspective, and deconstruction of both child development knowledge and early childhood teacher education. It was concluded that child development knowledge is necessary but insufficient to early childhood teacher education. In the post modern perspective, the movement toward fostering "reflective practitioners" and basic knowledge base is more significant. Therefore, the responsibility of academics is to walk the fine line between presenting a formal knowledge base so that students gain assumption to guide their thinking and practice, critiquing both theory and derived practices.

본 연구는 문헌연구를 통해 이론과 실천의 관계에서 교수 행위를 바라보는 상반된 두 가지 관점 중 bottom-up 관점에서 유아 교사의 실천을 탐색한다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전통적으로 유아교육에서는 top-down 관점을 중심으로 발달심리학 이론, 발달에 적합한 이론과 실제에 관한 담론, 그리고 발달이론에 근거하여 개발된 다양한 프로그램모델의 틀 안에서 유아교사의 실천과 교수행위를 정의하고 합리화해 왔다. 둘째, 이와 반대로 bottom-up 관점은 현장에서의 교사의 행위와 실천이 이론을 이끈다고 보며 반성적 사고를 통해 교사가 현장에서 실천방법을 구성해 가는데 초점을 둔다. 이 관점에서 실천은 이론의 근거가 되며, 교사는 암묵적 이론을 형성하면서 연구자의 역할을 한다고 보면서 개인경험, 학교풍토와 맥락, 그리고 우세한 교육담론이 교사의 이론을 구성하는 데 영향을 미치는 요소로 본다. 셋째, 실제로 예비교사와 현직교사를 대상으로 하는 연구결과로부터 예비교사는 경험으로부터 오는 교수에 대한 기대가 양성과정에서의 담론과의 교류, 실습 및 학교의 영향으로부터 교수에 대한 이론을 발달시킨다는 것을 보여준다. 또한 현직교사들은 그들이 지닌 암묵적 지식의 전개가 지속적인 전문성 발달과 관련이 있으며 행정적 압력 및 현장의 복잡한 현실적인 문제들을 개인적으로 발달시킨 전략을 사용하여 해결함을 보여준다. 연구 결과에 따라 bottom-up 관점에 근거한 향후 교사 실천에 관한연구 방향과 시사점을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Counseling-Utilized Parent Education for Mothers (CUPEM). CUPEM was developed based on Developmentally Appropriate Practices, Solution-Focused Therapy, Satir's Experiential Family Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. The subjects were 51 mothers of 4 and 5 year old children and randomly assigned either to the intervention group (n=26) or the comparison group (n=25). Mothers in the intervention group had 10-2 hour intervention sessions while those in the comparison group received the intervention after this study was completed. Both groups received pre-and post-test evaluation, and a follow-up test. The data were analyzed by t-test and paired t-test. The results showed that participanting mothers' parenting stress was lessened while sense of parenting competence and positive maternal behaviors during mother-child interaction were increased significantly. Second, these mothers' self-confidence and maternal attitude toward childrearing were improved. Third, this effect lasted for at least one month after the termination of this program.
