Abstract/Notes: This action research project investigated the effect of exercises of practical life on the self regulation of an adolescent in his prepared environment at home. Participants included two parents (of which one was the researcher) and one adolescent boy aged sixteen. The research took place over seven weeks in the home of the adolescent. The researcher prepared areas of the house to create a setting for practical life exercises. A pre-attitude scale for the adolescent and pre assessments for the parents and the adolescent provided baseline data. This data supported the selection and design of the eight materials for the project. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected on school days using a daily observation log, journal, and weekly planning questionnaire. After the project, the parents and the adolescent completed a post-assessment, and the adolescent conducted a post-attitudes scale and interview. Analysis of the data suggests that some materials supported the adolescent. The interview provided clarification of data in the observation log. The adolescent has asked to continue using some of the materials. The project has given the family confidence in their ability to work together to create systems and tools to support routine and self-regulation.

Abstract/Notes: This study examines how Montessori practical-life-centered parent education effects the basic life habits of 3-year-old children as well as their mothers' parenting efficacy. Subjects of this study were 40 children and their 40 mothers at D kindergarten in J city in Jeonbuk province. Participants were divided into two groups of 20 one serving as experiment group and one as the control group. The tools used for this study were the rating scales of basic life habits(National Board of Educational Evaluation, 1995) and parents' parenting efficacy(Choi Hyngsung & Jeong Oakbun, 2001). The parents' education, two hours each session, was implemented a total of nine times. The data were analyzed by the average, standard deviation, t-test, and ANCOVA using SPSS 18.0 program. This study found that Montessori practical-life-centered parent education was effective at improving children's basic life habits and their parenting efficacy. These results could be utilized with teaching sources for parents who train the basic life habits of their children, and also these results can be used as resources for the parent education of childhood education centers. / 본 연구는 몬테소리 일상생활영역 중심 부모교육이 유아의 기본생활습관과 부모의 양육효능감에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 있다. 연구대상은 실험과 통제집단 각각 유치원 만 3세반 유아와 그들의 부모 20명씩으로 총 유아 40명과 부모 40명이다. 부모교육은 9개 주제로 강의, 모둠별 발표 및 토의, 극놀이, 시범 등의 교수 학습방법과 평가로 구성하고 각 주제는 일주 단위로 2시간씩 실시하였다. 연구결과 가정에서는 물론 유치원에서의 유아기본생활습관과 부모의 양육효능감의 증진에 효과가 있었다. 본 연구결과는 부모가 가정에서 자녀에게 직접 실행하고 지도할 수 있는 능동적이고 주체적인 부모역할능력을 기르기 위해 반성적 사고와 실재 경험으로 이루어진 다양한 부모교육운영이 중요함을 시사한다.

Abstract/Notes: Uma Ramani's characterization of practical life is philosophical and anthropological, suggesting that "human history is the story of the evolution of our practical life activities." Practical life is a collaborative activity that creates community and culture. One's adaptation to life through the daily work of ordering our environment lends meaning to all learning and to living a good life.
