이 연구는 범죄와 형벌에 대한 인식은 어린 나이부터 형성되며, 이 과정에서 부모로 부터의 영향을 상당히 받아 만들어진다는 인식하에 유치원 자녀를 가진 학부모들의 범죄와 형벌에 대한 인식과 범죄예방교육의 필요성이 어떠한가를 살펴보았으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 유아와 학부모 대상 범죄예방교육 자료와 프로그램 개발 및 실시에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 진행되었다. 경기지역 유치원에 재학 중인 자녀를 둔 학부모 219명을 대상으로 범죄와 처벌에 대한 일반적 인식, 유아대상 범죄에 대한 인식, 유아대상 범죄예방교육 필요성으로 구 분하여 이에 관한 데이터를 수집하였다. 연구분석 결과, 학부모들의 범죄와 처벌에 대한 일반적 인식은 엄벌주의적으로 나 타났으며, 수형자의 교정･교화 가능성에 대해서도 부정적인 인식이 높게 나타났다. 이 는 범죄자에 대한 사회적 불관용, 가혹한 형벌 부과, 무력화 지향 등과 같은 엄벌주의 적 국민의 법 감정이 반영된 결과라고 볼 수 있으며, 어린 자녀를 양육하는 유치원 학부모들은 이러한 부정적 인식이 더 크다는 것을 시사한다. 유아대상 범죄와 범죄예 방교육 필요성에 대한 인식은 자녀를 범죄로부터 보호하기 위해 가정에서 다양한 방 법으로 교육하고 있었지만, 교육에 대한 구체적인 방법에 대한 지식 부족과 상황적 여 건으로 인해 유아인 자녀를 교육하는 것을 어려워하고 있어 유아와 학부모를 대상으 로 한 범죄예방교육 필요성에 대한 요구가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 기반으로 유아와 학부모 대상 범죄예방교육의 방향성과 후속연구를 위한 제언을 하였으며, 본 연구는 범죄와 형벌에 대한 인식과 범죄예방교육 필요성에 대해 알아봄으로써 범죄예방교육 자료와 개발 및 실시에 필요한 기초자료를 제공했다 는 것에 의의가 있다고 본다.

본 연구는 서울시의 강남구, 서초구, 송파구에 소재하고 있는 반일제 이상 교육기관(일명 영어유치원)에 다니는 유아 의 부모를 대상으로, 유아 사교육 수요동기 및 인식, 주거환경 및 사회경제적지위에 대한 인식을 알아보고, 이러한 요인 들이 사교육 참여 개수 및 비용에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 통해 학부모가 자녀 사교육과 관 련된 요인을 다면적으로 검토하고, 인식을 전환함으로써 과열된 유아 사교육이 완화되는 방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위해 학부모 396명을 대상으로 설문자료를 수집하였으며, IBM SPSS statistics 20 프로그램을 활용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학부모의 사교육 수요동기는 자녀의 인적자본을 축적하기 위해, 자녀를 잘 키우고 자, 자녀가 좀 더 나은 졸업장을 획득하게 하고자, 남들이 사교육을 받기 때문에, 자녀가 경쟁우위를 점하게 하고자 하는 순서로 분석되었다. 학부모의 사교육에 대한 인식은 기대감이 높은 반면, 부담감과 의존도는 상대적으로 낮고, 주거환경 보다 사회경제적지위에 대한 인식이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사교육 참여 개수는 자녀를 적게 낳는 만큼 잘 키우고 싶은 마음이 클수록, 부모의 학력과 소득이 높을수록, 자녀의 연령이 올라갈수록 많았다. 사교육비용은 자녀의 인적자본 을 축적하고 싶은 마음이 높을수록, 주거환경이 사교육에 노출되어 있고, 부모의 소득수준과 사교육경험이 있을수록, 자 녀의 연령이 높을수록, 부모가 해외거주 경험이 없을수록 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 사교육 수요동기 및 사교육 인식 과 사교육비용 간의 관계에서 주거환경 및 사회경제적지위 인식은 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of the quality of school meals by parents of kindergarten children in Seoul, analyze the acceptance price and the optimal school meal cost using PSM (price sensitivity measurement) techniques, and provide basic data for improving the quality of kindergarten meals. The survey was conducted using descriptive statistics and PSM analysis of the responses of 1,272 parents of 779 kindergarten children belonging to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education from April to May 2021 and prior research analysis related to kindergarten meals. 74.1% of the parents surveyed were women, with 61% of children attending kindergartens attached to elementary schools, followed by private kindergartens (28.9%) and public kindergartens (10.1%). According to a study of the quality of meals, private kindergarten parents are highly satisfied with all the quality attributes of meals, such as “sanitation of dining environment” and “nutritionally balanced food” (p<0.001, p<0.01). The analysis of the acceptance price range and the optimal price for school meals showed that there was no significant variation based on the type of kindergarten establishment, with parents' acceptance price range ranging from 3,596 won to 4,454 won with an optimal price of 3,948 won.

In this paper, we conducted a survey to reveal the general perception of parents toward outdoor air quality, particulate matter (PM), and indoor air quality (IAQ) at schools where their children attend. A total of 1,030 parents participated in this survey, where the age of their children ranged between 7 years to over 19 years of age. Each participant was either a member of a non-governmental organization (NGO) with a keen interest in air quality or an ordinary public panel member with less interest. The result of the survey indicated that the participants had a negative perception of air quality, and parents believed that the outdoor and indoor air is extremely polluted. The participants pointed out that they believe that the main reason for the pollution is due to particulate matter (PM) and school classrooms are the location where their children are exposed to PM the most. Based on our study, the majority of the participants prefer a mechanical ventilation system to reduce indoor air pollutants in schools. Our study should be referred to by school officials in order to maintain IAQ and as a way of addressing the concerns of parents who want to protect their children’s health.

This study aimed to investigate the dietary guidelines from the dietitians and parents’ perceptions in kindergarten. The survey was carried out by 39 dietitians and 320 parents in kindergarten of Sejong city from April 18 to May 14, 2019. Approximately, 48.6% of dietitians responded that the amount of food provided was adjusted according to the age and weight of the infant. Both dietitians and parents responded the most to ‘to build the right eating habits’ as the reason for dietary guidance. As a guiding method for infants who sneaked unpleasant food, 62.9% of dietitians responded ‘teach them about the wrong behavior on the spot’, and 63.7% of parents stated ‘talk about wrong behavior later’. The necessity of linking the dietary guidance between kindergarten and the family was recognized by dietitians and parents. The most important content for the linkage of the dietary guidance was ‘correct eating manners and attitude’. The biggest problem in the dietitian's dietary guidance was the guidance on an unbalanced diet. Our results indicated differences in the dietary guidance contents of dietitians’ and parents’ perception of importance. Apparently, it is considered essential to link kindergarten with the family to provide correct and effective guidance for children.

This study examined the eating habits and preferences of foods according to the age of children with autism spectrum disorders and identified the nutritional needs of parents to support their healthy eating habits and provide basic data for the development of educational programs. A survey of 100 parents of children with autism spectrum disorders was conducted on their children’s snack intake, food preferences, and parents’ nutrition education needs. As a result, there were four times more boys than girls, and the body mass index differed according to age (p<0.001). Most children ate snacks more than once a day, and parents found that they wanted to develop nutritious snacks that could replace high-protein, low-calorie meals with the minimal use of additives. For the food preference, there was a significant difference in grains and starches, vegetables/seafood and fruits, milk and dairy products (p<0.05), fats and sugars, and Korean fermented pastes (p<0.01) between the two age groups. Regarding whether nutrition education was required, many parents had a high demand for nutrition education (4.24±0.70), and the intention to participate was 3.62±1.09. The most important content to be dealt with in parent education was ‘Inducing a change in bad eating habits and behaviors’, which was the highest (63%), and mostly face-to-face education was preferred. In conclusion, young children require diet education, and older children need to focus on weight control and obesity.

This study aims to classify parents by considering important factors in the management of foodservice for children. An offline survey was conducted by enrolling 583 Korean parents whose children attended public or private kindergartens in Seoul. The important factors required for managing foodservice for children are meal service resources, menu management, and food allergy. Considering these factors, parents were grouped into 3 clusters: the allergy important group, environment important group, and high concern group. Evaluation of the demographic characteristics revealed a significant difference between clusters with respect to type of kindergarten. Parents perceived that a private kitchen is more required than a private dining room, and perceptions about the need for a private kitchen and dining room were significantly different among the clusters. Furthermore, the results reveal significant differences between clusters, when considering the need to support meal service. Therefore, the government needs to consider characteristics of the parent cluster if they plan to support the kindergarten foodservice. We believe that this study can be used as supportive data to establish a working policy.

The aim of this study is to investigate the awareness and satisfaction level of school meal services by elementary school students and their parents. Approximately 97.2% of student-subjects have agreed on the necessity of a free meal service for school lunch; 44.3% of student-subjects voiced the need to provide free meal services in order to eliminate discrimination of low-income students. Over one-third of student-subjects (36.7%) cited nutrition as the main benefit of providing a free meal service. The majority of parent-subjects (95.1%) have recognized the need for a free meal service in school; approximately 37.3% of parent-subjects responded to need the free meal service in order to eliminate the discrimination of impoverished students. Both student- and parent-subjects expressed a high level of satisfaction with the quality of ingredients and the type of soup/nutrition provided. Student-subjects insisted on better food hygiene and a new menu, but cited the noisy cafeteria as a problem associated with school meal services. In addition, approximately 56.5% of student-subjects responded to the need for nutritional education in school. Parent-subjects were primarily concerned with hygiene regarding the preparation of school meal services, noting the temperature of foods as the biggest problem in school meal services. The majority of parent-subjects (88.1%) responded to the need for the nutritional education in school. Results of this survey indicate that school meal services can be improved by increasing menu options and increasing food hygiene.
