본 연구는 유아교육공동체 구현을 위한 부모-교사 간 동반자 관계 형성을 장기적 목적으로 다문화가정 어머니가 유아교육기관에서 경험하는 유아교사에 대한 인식을 알아보고자 하였다. 이에 농촌지역에 거주하는 다문화가정 어머니 11명을 대상으로 유아교육기관 참여도, 신뢰도, 소속감, 소통의 네 가지 면담준거로 반구조적인 질문의 개별 면담을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 어머니들의 교사에 대한 인식은 ‘어머니 입장을 배려하는 친절한 선생님’, ‘적극적 관심과 돌봄을 주는 고마운 선생님’, ‘우리 아이들이 좋아하는 선생님’, ‘교육에 절대적인 신뢰감을 주는 선생님’, ‘특별함이나 편견을 갖지 않는 평등한 선생님’이라는 긍정적 인식이 도출되었다. 반면, ‘봉사나 도울 기회를 적 극적으로 요청하지 않는 선생님’, ‘부모공동체 형성에는 소극적인 선생님’의 다소 부정적 인식이 도출되었다. 이를 통해 다문화가정 어머니와 교사와의 동반자적 관계를 통한 유아교육공동체 실현 과 정착을 위하여 부모, 교사와 기관의 역할에 대한 시사점을 논의하였다.

The objectives of the study were to. 1) explain the seriousness of environmental problems and the importance of environmental education in rural development , and 2) explore more effective and efficient ways of environmental education for agriculture and rural development in Korea. The world has rapidly changed and concepts such as clientele -centered, efficiency, and globalization are flowing under this change. Agriculture or rural development is not an exception. In order for agriculture as an occupation and rural communities to have competitiveness in efficiency and attractiveness, it is important to develop and execute a well-planned program for agriculture and rural development. Otherwise, farmers and rural inhabitants will continue to leave the agriculture and rural areas. Frequent recent reports of newspapers on nit and water pollution, including nutrients and pesticides have brought attention to the seriousness of environmental problems in Korea. Environmental concerns should consider in planning and executing the rural development program. People want to get contamination-free foods, water and fresh air. They can and are willing to pay their money for high quality food, water and a better living environment, as their incomes have been increasing, Agriculture and rural communities may have competitiveness in these aspects. It is irony that environmental concerns makes the possibility of changes in agriculture and rural development in Korea. Environmental education will have an increasingly important role in agriculture and rural development. Environmental problems relate to the human behavior in various aspects. Many environmental problems are mainly rooted to people's ignorance and spending-habits, and lack of technology related to environment. These human behaviors are the focus that environmental education should teach and change. Environmental education has been carried out through various subjects in school education in Korea, but "Environment" in middle school and "Environmental Science" in high school were separated as a regular subject from 1996. Environmental education still has a lot of room for development from a theoretical frame work. Environmental education should be carried out as action-oriented, student-centered programs. Various teaching materials, programs and proper supporting budget should be developed so that environmental education fulfills its necessary role well in agriculture and rural development. A textbook about the environment alone will not guarantee a high quality environmental education.
