The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of parent`s role and their thoughts on the meaning of the transiton into Hakbumohood(parents involvement in a child`s education), and differences in awareness after the transition. For the purpose, a sample test was conducted on 115 school principals, 168 teachers, 329 mothers, and 298 fathers in an early childhood education center, using structured questionnaires. The major findings were as follows: 1. Parents experienced new tasks and various changes during the transition into Hakboomohood. 2. A mother`s awereness of the Hakbumo`s role was higher than that of the father`s. 3. Most parents possess outlooks on Hakboomohood but do not have the satisfaction of seeing their values put into practice. 4. Most of the respondents thought that `choosing the early childhood eduction center` was the beginning of Hakbumohood 5. Follow-up studies and the development of new parent education programs are needed to support the parents in their transtion into Hakbumohood.
