This study focused on the relationship among playfulness in teachers, teaching efficacy on play and teachers' positive play beliefs in a sample of 151 teachers working childcare center in Seoul and Chungcheungnam-do. The collected data were analyzed using simple regression and hierarchical multiple regression. The main results of this study were as follows. First, teachers' playfulness had a positive influence on their positive play beliefs. Second, teachers' playfulness had a positive influence on their teaching efficacy on play. Finally, effect of teachers' playfulness on their teaching efficacy on children's play was totally mediated by their positive play beliefs.

이 연구는 놀이가 영유아의 발달과 학습에서 차지하는 의미와 중요성에 비추어볼 때 교사의 문제행동지도를 놀이지도와의 관련성속에서 탐색해보는 것이 필요하다는 문제의식에 기초하여 교사의 놀이성, 놀이신념, 놀이교수효능감과 문제행동지도과의 관계를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울시와 충청남도에 근무하는 어린이집 교사 151명을 대상으로 교사의 놀이성과 문제행동지도전략, 놀이신념과 문제행동지도전략의 관계를 살펴보고, 이들 관계에 놀이교수효능감이 매개역할을 하는지 알아보았다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교사 놀이성은 예방적 문제행동지도전략과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략에 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 놀이신념은 예방적 문제행동지도전략과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략에 정적 영향을 미쳤고, 부정적 문제행동지도전략에는 부적 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째 교사의 놀이성과 놀이신념은 매개변인인 놀이교수효능감에 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 교사의 놀이교수 효능감은 놀이성과 예방적 문제행동지도전략 간의 관계, 놀이성과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략 간의 관계를 매개하였다.

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between the day care teachers' efficacy beliefs on play and acceptability of social skills strategies for children with disabilities. 174 daycare teachers participated in this study. For this study, two instruments were used. One was the social interaction program features questionnaire (Odom et al., 1993), developed for the purpose of understanding the types of teachers' social interaction, which was modified. The other was the teachers' efficacy beliefs on play by Cho (1999) which was revised. Data was collected and analyzed by SPSS 12. The overall findings of this study were as follows. First, there was a meaningful difference in daycare teachers' acceptability of social skill strategies for disabilities children by factors. Secondly, there was a strong relationship between their acceptability and their efficacy beliefs on play. Thirdly, there was a meaningful differences between higher group and lower group of scores of teachers' efficacy belief on play in daycare teachers' acceptability of social skill strategies for disabilities children.

This study examined the relationships between teacher variables that improve the efficacy of the play teaching of infants and toddlers following a play-oriented curriculum. The participants were 287 infant teachers. The results were as follows. First, the independent variables had a significant effect on the efficacy of play teaching, teacher-infant interaction, and classroom environment. Second, the mediating effects of teacher-infant interaction and classroom environment on the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching were as follows. The interaction mediating effect between professionalism and play belief was significant, but teaching creativity was found to be significant. In the mediating effect of the classroom environment, expertise, play belief, and teaching creativity were found to be significant. Third, both teacher-infant interaction and the multimedia effect of the classroom environment were statistically significant in mediating the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching. These results provide basic data on the necessity for teacher education to explore ways to improve teachers' sense of efficacy in teaching play and their teaching skills.

African Americans in the United States suffer from many health disparities such as obesity, diabetes or hypertension. Lifestyle factors including diet and physical activity play an important role in prevention of these health conditions. The purpose of this research project was to assess beliefs, barriers and self-efficacy of eating a healthy diet and self efficacy of shopping for foods such as whole grains or foods designated as low fat or low sodium. Additionally, the objective was to assess beliefs about healthfulness, appropriate consumption, and protective aspect of specific foods including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The assessment was done using a survey instrument developed for this study. Data collection took place at two church locations. Data were obtained from 57 African Americans, mean age 50 years old (SD 12.70) completed the survey. The majority of respondents (58.1%) were females and most (75%) had at least some college education. Generally, benefits of eating healthy foods received considerably higher scores compared to barriers of eating healthy. A belief that healthy foods would help to take care of one's body received the highest mean score while a belief that healthy foods are too expensive had the highest score from all barriers. The results showed high self-efficacy of eating and purchasing healthy foods, high awareness of knowledge regarding foods associated with disease prevention but low awareness of recommendations for fruits and vegetables. The high scores for benefits, self-efficacy and knowledge regarding eating healthy foods did not translate into the perception of intake of such foods. Most participants believed that they do not eat enough of healthy foods. Interventions design to help African Americans make dietary changes should be culturally relevant and should involved working on a community level utilizing messages that are familiar and relevant to African Americans.

According to adaptive structuration theory, faithfulness of appropriation(FOA), and consensus on appropriation(COA) are variables for measuring appropriation in use of IT. FOA is the level of interpreting and using the intentions of the IT designers objectively and COA is the level of agreement on ways of using IT among or with user group independently of designers' intention. In traditional theories of IT adoption, computer self-efficacy(CSE), self evaluation on abilities of using computer, has been considered as one of the important individual differences. which would influence on beliefs of using IT. Therefore, considering the relationship among CSE, FOA, COA and attitude, we can hypothesize that CSE would play a moderation varaible among appropriation related variables relationships, FOA-attitude and COA-attitude. The objective of this study is an analysis of CSE's moderation effects in causality relationship among appropriation measuring variables. For this purpose, we propose a research model where there are four hypotheses for moderation effects of CSE on the relationships between appropriation variables. We test these hypotheses by sampling ERP and groupware users. In result, our proposed hypotheses except moderation effect of COA-usefulness are accepted. Main contribution of this study is to identify the relationship between CSE and AST. This study implies that very careful consideration of users' CSE is necessary in order to perform managerial activities based on FOA and COA in IT management department.

과학 담화에 동반되는 제스처는 정신 모형의 구성과 모델에 기반한 추론에 중요한 역할을 한다. 체화된 인지의 관점에서 제스처는 학생의 내면에 기저한 정신모형을 유추하는 근거인 동시에 학생의 불완전한 과학적인 사고의 변화에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 이 연구는 과학 교육의 맥락에서 제스처의 역할을 탐색해보고자 과학적 담화에서 제스처의 특징을 살펴보고 과학자와 중학생의 제스처를 비교하였다. 각각 10명의 과학자와 중학생이 본 연구에 참여했으며, 일대일 면담에서는 '분자운동과 상태 변화'에 관한 세 가지 면담과제가 제시되었고 면담은 반구조화된 clinical interview의 방식으로 진행되었다. 과학자와 중학생의 제스처는 모두 비디오로 녹화하였으며, 근거 이론(grounded theory)에 기반하여 4명의 연구자가 반복적으로 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 과학자와 중학생의 제스처는 4가지 측면(제스처의 특징, 제스처의 사용, 제스처의 내용, 제스처의 기능)에서 상이한 특성을 보였다. 과학자는 다양하고 정교한 제스처를 보다 빈번하게 체계적으로 사용했으며, 중학생 또한 과학적 사고와 소통의 도구로 제스처를 과학담화에서 사용했으나, 중학생의 제스처는 과학자의 제스처에 비해 과학적인 근거가 부족했으며 기능적인 특징에서도 상당한 차이점이 있었다. 이 결과는 제스처가 과학적 사고를 강화하는 데 도움이 될 수 있으며, 내면에서 일어나는 인지활동을 알아보는 수단이 될 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 앞으로 학생들이 제스처를 과학 개념의 이해와 추론을 돕는 도구로 사용할 수 있도록 지원할 필요가 있다.
