목적 : 본 연구는 일반초등학교에 입학한 장애아동이 학교에 적응하는 과정과 장애아동을 초등학교에 입학시킨 부모들의 경험, 변화와 그 의미에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 부모들의 경험과 변화에 대해 심층적으로 이해하고 기술하기 위해 현상학적 연구방법을 이용한 질적 연구를 사용하였다. 연구의 참여자는 초등학교 입학 후 1년간의 과정을 거친 장애아동의 어머니 4명이다. 자료수집을 위해 세 단계의 심층면담을 대상자별로 진행 하였다. 분석은 Colaizzi의 분석방법을 사용하여 연구 참여자로부 터 기술된 내용에서 의미 있는 문장이나 구를 추출하고, 이를 기반으로 일반적이며 추상적인 의미단위를 만들고 주제와 주제 묶음으로 범주화한 후 경험의 본질적 구조를 기술하였다. 결과 : 연구를 통하여 도출된 경험과 의미는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 준비가 되어 있지 않음으로 인한 초조, 불안, 후회를 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 장애 아동이 취학 할 학교를 선택함에 있어 고민과 갈등이 있었다. 셋째, 아이가 잘할 수 있을까 하는 염려, 불안감과 두려움으로 긴장의 연속선상에 있으면서도 기대감을 가지고 있었다. 넷째, 교사와의 관계에서 대화와 시간의 흐름을 통한 신뢰가 바탕이 되어 가까워지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 다섯째, 일 년간의 학교생활을 바탕으로 어렵지만 성장해 가는 어머니 자신과 아이의 모습을 발견하게 되었다. 결론 : 본 연구결과를 통해 나타난 장애아동 부모의 경험과 변화, 어려움을 이해하여 아동의 특성과 취학을 앞둔 아동의 시기적 상황에 맞는 취학 전 학교적응 프로그램(적절한 가족 지원 및 통합지원 작업치료 서비스)을 개발하고 시행하여 성공적인 전이가 될 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

목 적: 본 연구는 부모의 사회·경제적 요인과 초등학생의 눈 건강과의 관계를 확인함으로써 저소득층 학령기 아동의 눈 건강 불평등이 존재하는지를 확인하고자 한다. 방 법: 국민건강영양조사(2009) 데이터를 이용하여 만 7-12세의 초등학생 935명을 대상으로 일반적인 특성과 사회·경제적요인, 눈 건강 관련요인을 χ2 검정하였다. 결 과: 최근 1년간 눈검사 여부, 안경착용비율, 교정시력 1.0이상은 가구소득이 낮을수록 낮은 비율을 보였고, 근시 유병률, 원시 유병률, 자동굴절력계로 측정한 굴절이상도가 ``0~-2D``는 가구 소득이 낮을수록 높은 비율로 나타났다. 결 론: 부모의 사회경제적요인과 눈 건강의 관계를 χ2 검정한 결과 유의하지 않았지만, 유병률과 굴절이상도 등의 비율로 부모의 사회경제적 요인이 아동의 눈 건강에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었고, 저소득층 학령기 아동의 눈 건강 불평등 해소를 위해 정기적인 시력검사와 재보정 기회 제공 등의 중·장기적인 안보건 정책이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study recommends using children's literature in teacher training programs with the purpose of developing integrated language skills for primary school teachers and teaching methods for their students. First, to accomplish bifold objectives, the study develops three modules: 1) intensive listening through story books, 2) using in class dialogues through role-playing and 3) developing classroom activities. For presenting the examples of the three modules, Junie B., First Grader (at last!), Freckle Juice, and Jake Drake: Teacher's Pet are used. Next, the study presents teachers' perceptions on both using literature for improving their English skills and using literature in their teaching elementary school children. To investigate the possibility of implementing the program, the researcher surveyed 53 teachers participating in the program. The survey results showed teachers' perceptions on children's literature changed in positive ways, and they recognized that children's literature could develop their own English language skills and then would be a good teaching resource for their students. Based on the results, some suggestions were provided for the teachers, educators, and program developers.

This study investigated the relations among Korean phonological processing skills, English vocabulary knowledge, and the learning of new English words in 6th grade children. The children were tested in phonological awareness, phonological short-term memory, and naming speed tasks, as well as English vocabulary and paired-associate learning of Korean-English word pairs. Most tasks were significantly correlated with English vocabulary and paired-associate learning. In regression analyses, phonological awareness, short-term memory, and naming speed significantly predicted English vocabulary; and English vocabulary and naming speed predicted paired-associate learning. These results suggest that Korean phonological awareness, naming speed, and short-term memory are associated with English vocabulary knowledge and learning. These findings support the transfer of phonological processing skills across second languages.

The factors of obesity related with food habits were assessed to provide information for nutrition education database. The subjects in this study were 234 primary school children in Busan. Children were classified into normal and obese groups(mildly obese, moderately obese and severely obese) by obesity index. In self-recognition of body image, only 28.6% of MI group considered themselves as 'overweight or obese'. 87.2% of the subjects controlled their weight method with exercise. With regard to meal speed, 64.5% of the subjects ate fast(≤15 min.). The study also found that 79.8% of the subjects ate breakfast, 56.4% of the subjects them were moderate by obese, 40.8% of the subjects ate snacks after dinner. Eating speed, meal volume and snacks money per day were significantly different in obesity. Preference for eating out was Korean Chinese, Western and Japanese food, in order. Favorite food for snack, such as ddukbokki, fruits, milk. fried foods and candy and caramel were significantly different in obesity(p〈0.05). However hamberger, pizza and chocolate were not significantly different in obesity. The most preference snack for all the subjects were fruits and ice cream. In food preference, potato, dduk, meats, fishes, cheese, milk, ice cream were significantly different in obesity. The distasteful food for subjects were patbab, vegetables, shellfishes and salt-fermented foods. From above results, obesity of children was related to meal speed, meal volume and snacks motley per day. Therefore, these results suggest that continuous and practical nutrition education to change food habits art necessary to avoid child obesity.

To find out the reference data of the school food service system, I serveyed four primary schools in Seoul, Korea and Nara, Japan respectively. The school children and their parents of whom arbitrary selected two classes among each primary school, were taken the questionaire about the present school food service system and their favorate food. The results were as follows; 1) 74.8% of Korean and Japanese children, and 92.5% of their parents were in favor of school food service. 2) Korean childrin wanted more amount of food and less salty taste. 3) Korean and Japanese children and their parents believed that the school food service system correct children's unbalanced diet. 4) Korean children wished more kinds of foods, western-styled cooking and that the food would be served in warm state. 5) Korean parents wanted that school food service system should be natural and better quality food material, and teacher should educate good eating habit. 6) Korean school children prefer yogurt, cuttle-fish, chicken, bean-curd, tomato, orange, dried laver, sweet potato, pine-mushroom in each food group. In conclusion, school food service system should be enough to meet children's good nutrition status, and the menu would be selected with consideration of children's preference and Korean traditional diet habit. Good table manner and eating all kinds of foods should be targht by school food service system as well as preparing good quality of food.

The relationship of obesity and related behaviors was analyzed among 361 primary school children, 4th and 5th grade, in one of private school in Seoul in July 1994. Compared to 1985 Korean Children's Growth Standard, the surveyed children have shown remarkable growth, which is the secular trend in growth of Korean children accompanied with rapid economic growth. But the relative incremental weight was far larger than that of height and this trend was more evident among children over 50th percentile, which shows a wide prevalence of obesity of the surveyed children. By WLI index, 15% of the children was overweight and 13% was obese. The higher the WLI, the more frequent and stronger stress they had. The nutrition knowledge score of obese children was higher compared to others. They were especially sensitive to their physical fitness but many normal or underweight-children also experienced stress due to their body weight and have tried to lose weight by incorrect methods. On the other hand many obese children thought they were optimal or underweight. These results reasserts the importance of nutrition education focused on children aheading puberty. They need to know the correct degree of obesity and to get appropriate education through teachers, dietitians, parents and doctors. The findings of this study could be applied to a nutrition implementation policy to ensure better physical fitness of children aheading puberty in the future.

본 연구는 초등학교 체육교육현장에서 아동의 욕구를 진단하고 분석하기 위한 기본적 심리욕구 척도를 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 선행연구에서 개발된 4개의 질문지를 토대로 초등학교 체육수업과 아동의 인지에 적합하도록 통합과 수정, 예비조사의 과정을 거쳐 18문항의 질문지 초안을 완성하였다. 이를 토대로 240명의 초등학생 4, 5, 6학년을 대상으로 문항분석과 탐색적 요인분석을 거쳐 자율성 4개 문항, 유능성 4개 문항, 관계성 5개 문항 총 3요인 13문항의 문항을 추출하였다. 추출된 3요인 13문항을 토대로 초등학생 4, 5, 6학년 403명을 대상으로 확인적 요인분석을 실시하여 구조적 타당성을 검증하였다. 이후 상황적 동기척도, 체육수업에서의 사회적 요소의 변인을 나타내는 질문지와 상관분석을 실시하여 유의한 상관을 검증하였으며 이를 토대로 준거관련타당도를 검증하였다. 성별에 따른 기본적 심리욕구 요인의 잠재평균 차이를 분석한 결과 남학생과 여학생은 체육수업상황에서 자율성, 유능성, 관계성의 욕구에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.
