Through the three mother's offsprings breeding processes who are living in modern society, we have studied the process of collecting necessary information for breeding. At the same time we realized our actual education conditions from mother's view and explored substitutes for these conditions, by studying the processes of mother's cognition molding about the education. And we tried to know the real breeding problems and support project for getting rid of their problems.
For this, we used ethnography method which collects ethnographic interview, then describe, interpretation and translate it with the dept interview and the participation observation.
First, how did three mothers get information?
We could separate three mother's information collecting method into three parts. Most of all they needed scientific and various information for young offspring breeding and they wanted very easy ways to get it. Therefore, the first method was using babyhood magazines. At the same time they looked into the education program of education institutions. But it made the differences in breeding ways and these differences affected their offspring's growth processes.
Secondly, these information collecting methods gradually changed into mother's meeting as offspring became to grow. Mothers meetings were formed to find a outlet for burdensome mother's physical and psychological stress which was caused by first child's ego formation and the birth of the second child. In the beginning of three mother's meeting, there was a tendency of carelessness for the children breeding, because they put more emphasis on their stress dissolution. And they more scolded and controled their children because of the difference of breeding viewpoint. However, the meetings had educational effects on mothers by learning through other mothers' breeding way and exchanging advices and taking a lesson together. In collecting information through these meetings, information shares in early stage changed into competition by visualizing of children's school work achievement.
Third method of collecting information was by through their own growth process. This affected three mothers' children breeding way depending their parents' breeding way or their own experience. There was a case that mothers followed their parents' way and the opposite case, then successful experience in growth period showed positive effects on child breeding. Also, the active and new breeding culture was been forming by consulting for breeding problems.
Second, what three mothers' child education method was ?
Three mothers requested their child's education to the education institutions such as a regular study journal, a kindergarten and a private school and mothers taught their children themselves by controlling children's friend relationships and giving opportunities to experience cultures.
Asking to education institutions for their children's breeding started when their children became 4, 5 and this method begun with the effect of the circumstance mood and the request of educational institutions and the pressure of children peers. This method's ultimate goal was the preparation for university entrance exam.
Especially, when their children entered the kindergarten, the mothers' cognition for the education institution was made. But the first education institutions were too disappointing because of much students in a class, extreme closed management and the negligence to center of interest. Then they tried to find a better institution but came to realize it was impossible.
Therefore, they begun to have actual standards about the kindergarten and eventually sought a suitable kindergarten.
There were the education activities at home in which mothers taught and cared their children. These were various : learning, such as reading fairy tales books or studying study journal together ; helping their children's associates relationships ; offering various culture experiences. This education was divided into two types : the learning for university entrance exam which was focused on Korean, English, Math, and the development for sense and EQ. There was the tendency of selecting one of them depending on competition and education expenses.
Third, what are the mother's difficulties in breeding their children?
There were so many difficulties in breeding children, but the most prominent point was the conflict of mother's role according to their child's ego forming and the conflict experienced when they bred two children.
One-sided breeding way in babyhood caused the confusion of mother's role and the reaction for children's behavior as children's ego forming begun.
Therefore, the breeding ways which control or accept their children was formed. Then, the breeding stress was increased by the birth of second child and it gave a lot of effect not only mothers but children. Primarily, there occurred the breeding difference between the first and the second child. The anticipation of educational and physical growth was high for the first child, but mothers didn't much worried and had much expectation about the second child because they begun to have some breeding composure. However, the second child was more active and had a amicable personality.
