This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the actual state of extra curricula education for kindergarteners and maternal beliefs regarding child rearing. This study included 238 mothers who had a child that was either four or five years old and currently attending private kindergarten in Seoul, Korea. The major findings of this study were as follows: 1) 222 of the subjects indicated that their children participated early in extra curricula education, and 56 of the respondents reported that their children were involved in four types of extra curricula education. 2) In general, the respondents indicated that they felt extra curricula activities were more important for instilling values regarding humanity to children of very young ages than for learning and that the environment in which a child is raised is more important than maturity when rearing children. 3) Parental beliefs regarding humanity and learning were significantly correlated with the actual state of extra curricula education in kindergarteners.

This study examines the relationship between mothers' parental intelligence, parenting stress and the perception of parents regarding their children's very early extra-curricula education. A total of 436 mothers, whose children were enrolled in seven private kindergarten and child-care centers in Seoul, responded to the questionnaire. The results of this study show that the mothers who participated generally have high parental intelligence scores, but the scores of their parenting stress were low. They also tend to view their very young children's extracurricular education in a positive light. These three variables also appear to be significantly different based on the educational level and family income of the mothers. Finally, a significant relationship is shown to exist between the mothers' parental intelligence and their parenting stress, although the mothers' parental intelligence does not seem to be significantly related to their perceptions of very early extracurricular education for their children. However, the study suggests that the parenting stress of mothers is significantly related to their perception regarding very early extracurricular education.

In this study we overviewed the early private learning for children in Korea. For last 20 years the number of children who were involved in it increased and the starting age had been lowered. Now more than 90% of the children are exposed to it before going to school. Mean number of private lesson per child is between three to four (33.6%). 32.7% of preschoolers take more than 5 kinds of private lesson per week. Because of the frantic enthusiasm of the parents, most preschools and kindergartens are providing extra curricula in their programs. The main problem of the learning in Korea is that it does not run by government or universities with educational purposes but by commercial companies for profit.

본 연구는 한국과 일본 유치원의 공간조사 및 비교분석을 통해 향후 한국 공립유치원의 바람직한 공간구성 방향의 기초를 마련하는 것을 목적으로 진행되었다. 유치원 공간구성의 최근 경향을 조사하기 위해 최근 5년간 신축되거나 리모델링된 유치원을 추천 받아 시설도면, 실태조사 자료를 바탕으로 "진입 및 배치, 옥외공간", "스페이스프로그램", "평면구조 및 단위공간계획"으로 구분하여 비교분석을 실시하였다. 결론적으로 공간의 구성형태, 배치형태, 실 면적, 면적구성 비율 등 공간 조직의 관점에서 한국과 일본 유치원은 유사성이 매우 많았으나, 대지면적과 옥외면적에 있어서 일본 유치원이 한국 유치원보다 대지면적은 $11.89m^2$, 체육장을 포함한 옥외면적은 $9.75m^2$(유아1인 기준) 만큼 더 많은 공간을 확보하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 일본의 유치원은 "아뜰리에" 및 "PTA"와 같은 특성화된 공간 확보를 통해 다양한 교육활동 및 교육지원을 실시하는 것으로 조사되었다. 상기의 연구결과를 바탕으로 한국 유치원의 시설개선을 위한 구체적인 모형 및 지침 등이 개발되어야 할 것이다.
