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: Student behaviors were tallied in three similar Montessori early childhood classes while children practiced social, motor and academic skills with and without background music. Teacher impressions of work period productivity were tallied along with information from teacher notes and student self-assessments. Music came from Pandora stations such as “Relaxation Radio” or “Yoga Radio.” Music was selected for slow tempo (approximately 60 beats per minute or the rate of the adult heart) and relaxing instrumental quality, played at a soft volume and during times when students were not expected to pay attention to other auditory input such as stories, songs, lessons or announcements. Results showed that student smiles and productivity increased with background music, as did teacher and student assessments of productivity. Introducing appropriate background music can be a simple way to increase student focus. Further research will confirm if results are similar in classes of younger and older students and in traditional classrooms.

The Effect of Background Baroque Music on Work Accomplishment and Student Concentration on Days of Rapid Weather Changes.

Available from: St. Catherine University

Abstract/Notes: This study used Baroque background music to mitigate the effects of weather variables on 12 students of a Montessori elementary classroom. The weather forecast data were gathered from the National Weather Service. Two student feedback forms gauged attitudes towards the music and academic activities, focus, and accomplished work. A teacher tally chart marked daily observations of behavior. The study utilized Microsoft Excel with methods of descriptive data analyses, t-tests, and regression analysis. Student appreciation of music varied, but the children’s affinity for music remained high. It is unclear whether the music created a positive mindset. The Baroque background music contributed to higher work accomplishments on days of greater barometric pressure, sky cover changes, and lower changes in precipitation potential. The results of background music on concentration are inconclusive, however, over time, student focus increased with the intervention. A longer duration of study may confirm the findings presented here.

Aims, Beliefs, Practices and Training of Early Childhood Practitioners from Three Different Backgrounds: Montessori, Traditional and the Preschool Playgroups Association

Abstract/Notes: The study described below compares the goals, beliefs, practices and training of early childhood educators from three different origins: Montessori, Traditional and the Association of Playgroups (PPA), and reports practice of a research in progress. The information was gathered by means of a questionnaire which was sent to early childhood practitioners and which covers various subjects such as reading, writing, arithmetic, free choice, accessible activities, scoring, role played and commitment of parents. There was consensus on the main goals of early childhood practitioners, but many differences emerged between groups for beliefs, practice and training. The importance of high quality training for early childhood practitioners has been demonstrated. The Traditional group appeared to have the highest level of training and the practice is more often than not to maintain contact with current research more than the other two Montessori and PPA groups.
