다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In 1999, Yang, Ok Seung developed A Model for Institutional Accreditation for Early Childhood Education and Care and asked randomly selected 255 directors and teachers at childcare centers and kindergartens to rate each standard in the model using a scale of 1 (least important) to 5 (most important). The model contained 133 standards. The findings of this study are as follows:
1. All kindergartens and childcare centers should be evaluated for accreditation every three years by a government agency such as the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Health and Welfare and local boards of education or government.
2. Each site should allow for a 3-6 month period for self-study. On site validation visits should be no less than 1 to 2 days. Teachers and parents are to conduct the self-study at a given institution. On-site validation should be conducted by three groups of representatives including early childhood specialists, the government department involved, and teachers selected from other early childhood institutions.
3. Evaluation results are to be used by institution personnel as a self-supervision guide, by government officials as a funding standard, and by parents as a criterion of quality programs.
4. Accreditation standards are essential in five areas: 1) facilities and equipment, 2) curriculum, 3) nutrition, health, and safety, 4) administration and management systems, and 5) support systems. Of these areas, "facilities and equipment", "curriculum", and "nutrition, health, and safety" were rated as extremely important, and, most especially "safety", as it concerns nutrition, health, and safety areas, "teacher-child interaction" in the curriculum area was also deemed as very important.
5. Though there were differences among the groups as discussed in the body of the study, some standards were rated as being highly important by all the groups. Of the 133 accreditation standards. 20 were selected for emphases by the respondents: They deemed ten standards in the area of facilities and equipment, six standards in the curriculum area, and four standards in the area of nutrition, health, and safety as highly important.
