발달에 적합한 유아교육의 실제에 관한 연구 = A Study on Developmentally Appropriate Practices

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to draw the common opinion shared by early childhood curriculum theorists and developmentalists and to suggest a way for their constructing the process of early childhood curriculum that is not only developmentally appropriate also has educational value in future.
To achieve this purpose, this study researches perspectives of both early childhood curriculum theorists and developmentalists.
The results of this study is like following :
Early childhood curriculum theorists argue that there are several problems with the justification for child-centered practices based on developmental theory and suggest an alternative model based on the concept of early childhood education as schooling for democracy as an alternative justification for a child-centered curriculum based on the principles of developmentally appropriate practices.
Developmentalists provide some background information on the development of NAEYC's position statements on developmentally appropriate practice in order to place the statements in their historical context and to clarify some assumption that Kessler and others have made about NAEYC's positions and offer a justification, admittedly somewhat defensive, for the developmentalist's perspective and suggest that joining early childhood curriculum theorist's with developmentalist's will more effectively achieve their shared goal of improving curriculum and instruction for all young children.
On the basis of these two perspectives, I conclude that We need to build on the common ground shared by early childhood curriculum theorists and developmentalist. Early childhood curriculum and instruction that draws on both knowledge of child development and basic tenets of schooling for democratic living is not only defensible on historic and political grounds but is also in the best interest of our children.
