Abstract/Notes: Even at the Infant & Toddler level, mealtime is a key moment for children to exercise independence and healthy social interactions. [...]food has obvious physical benefits: it is a physical need and a highly motivating aspect of our days, and that need to eat can also be an opportunity to help children develop bodily awareness. Similar to our approach to toilet learning, where we also focus on bodily awareness, we want the children to begin tuning in to how food interacts with and affects their stamina and alertness and to start developing functional independence skills around food. Children learn how to prepare food, transfer water into glasses, and wash dishes-skills and processes inherent in nearly every meal they'll eat for the rest of their lives-in their correct context in a real-life situation.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study is to explore the attachment stability of child care center teachers with infants receiving care education all day and to examine the relationship of infants with child care center teachers in terms of attachment stability according to the background variable and professional recognition of the teachers. The research questions explored to realize the purpose of this study are as follows. 1. What is the nature of the attachment stability of child care center teachers with children at an all day program? 2. What is the nature of the attachment stability of child care center teachers with children according to the background variable of childcare center teachers (age, education, background, career history, marriage status)? 3. What is the nature of attachment stability of child care Center teachers with children according to the professional recognition of child care Center teachers. The subjects of this study are 181 infants aged zero, one, and two who attend 181 child care centers in K city of Chungcheongnamdo and their 51 teachers. In order to measure professional recognition of the teachers, the questionnaire used in earlier studies on professional recognition of child care center teachers amended/supplemented. Also, to measure the attachment stability between teachers and infants, the attachment Q-set developed by Waters and Deane (1985) was amended/supplemented as thirty questions from a total of ninety questions of the attachment Q-set. The results of this study are as follows. First, the average grade for attachment stability of child care center teachers with infants was .36, that is similar to those found in earlier studies conducted in our country. Second, there were differences in terms of attachment stability of infants according to the educational background, career history, and marriage status of child care Center teachers. Third, there was difference in terms of attachment stability with infants depending on the professional recognition of child care Center teachers. / 본 연구에서는 보육교사의 배경원인 및 전문성 인식이 영아의 애착안정성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 연구의 대상은 충청남도 K시에 위치한 어린이집 18곳에서 표집된 영아 181명과 그들의 담임교사 51명을 대상으로 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 보육교사의 변인에 따른 영아와의 애착안정성 차이를 알아본 결과 보육교사의 학력, 경력, 결혼 여부에 따라 애착안정성은 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 보육교사의 학력이 높을수록 영아와의 애착안정성이 높았으며, 경력은 낮을수록 영아와의 애착안정성이 높았고, 기혼보다는 미혼인 경우가 영아와의 애착안정성이 더 높았다. 둘째, 보육교사의 전문성인식에 따른 영아와의 애착안정성을 알아본 결과 보육교사의 전문성 인식이 영아와의 애착안정성에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 전문성 인식의 하위요인에서 직업윤리성과 전문적 기술 및 지식영역이 영아와의 애착안정성에 정적 영향을 미치고, 공정성과 직업만족도는 영아와의 애착안정성에 부적영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Infant Montessori Performance Assessment Scales developed by the authors. Subjects of the study consisted of 132 Montessori teachers and 50 infants who were attending Montessori home school throughout the whole country, using census method. Infant's age ranged from 6 to 24 months. Data were analysed by using SAS 8.2 PC program. Statistical methods employed were frequency, Cronbach's alpha, Kappa coefficient, test-retest correlation, construct validity, and concurrent validity. The Cronbach's alpha of 6 sub-scales included physical, creativity, practical life, sense, language, and cognitive education, which ranged from .70 to .86. And the! correlation of the test/re-test was .72. The correlation between the 6 sub-scales of Infant-Montessori Performance Assessment Scales and the total scores of 6 items ranged from .06 to .84. Therefore, the construct validity of Infant Montessori Performance Assessment Scales was verified. The Kappa coefficient of inter-rater reliability was .76. The correlation between the Infant Montessori Performance Assessment Scales and the Standardized Korean Creativity Traits Checklist(K-CTC) and the Korean Child Social Maturity Scales showed non-significant levels of .16 and .12 respectively. Conclusively, Infant Montessori Performance Assessment Scales developed by the authors were verified through the above reliability and validity tests. Specifically the Infant Montessori Performance Assessment Scales showed the relationship of the convergent and divergent validity with the Korean Child Social Maturity Scales and the Standardized Korean Creativity Traits Checklist, respectively.
