디지털로 시작된 세대 간의 지식전복과 이에 따른 격차는 게임이라는 콘텐츠를 통해 그 차이점을 드러낼 것이라는 것을 가정하고 본 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 증명하기 위해 실제 부모의 게임에 관한 인식이 자녀 의 삶에 중요한 변수로 자리를 잡고 있는지 분석해 보는 것이 본 연구를 통해 알아보고자 하는 것이 주요 내용이었다. 분석 결과, 부모의 게임인식은 자녀의 삶에 직접적으로 영향을 미치진 않았다. 하지만 자녀가 판단했을 때 부모의 게임인식 수준은 자녀의 삶의 만족도에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 확인이 되 었다. 이는 부모가 스스로 판단하는 게임인식보다, 디지털 세대인 자녀의 게임 활동과 문화를 어떻게 인식 하고 대하는지에 따라 자녀의 행복에 영향을 미친다는 것이다. 본 연구의 결과는 자녀가 인식하는 부모의 게임인식과 자녀의 게임인식 간의 격차는 청소년 자녀의 행복에 매우 중요한 요인으로 작용을 하며, 이는 청소년 자녀의 게임 활동을 부모세대가 꼭 배우고 습득하는 것만이 자녀 세대를 이해하는 길이 아니라, 자 녀와 함께 소통하면서 현재의 상황을 이해하는 것이 보다 중요한 요인으로 나타났다고 할 수 있다. 시대적 상황에 의하여 한 가정 내에 부득이하게 발생한 문화적 취향의 차이지만, 이를 부모가 인정하고 이해하는 방향으로 소통을 진행한다면 자녀의 삶에 매우 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 의미하기도 한다.

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 investigates elementary school parents’ perception concerning the starting age for early English education. Four hundred and eighty-four parents located in Seoul and Kyonggi province areas participated in this study. The questionnaire for exploring parents’ perception was used and the major findings revealed that: (1) the children who started to learn English before the official school year tend to learn English from native speakers of English; (2) about 90.9 percent of children learned English before the third grade of elementary school; (3) most parents reported that the proper starting age for learning English is 5 or 6 years although they perceived that it was not an important factor in enhancing their children’s English proficiency. These results indicate that the current status of early English education should be restructured to meet the parents’ perception and needs. Major implications will then be discussed.
