This study focuses on the day-care teachers gender equality consciousness in accordance with their perception of gneder roles which affects the Day-care Center children`s gender consciousness very much. Therefore, purpose of this study is to provide basic information and data for day-care teacher`s education program development focused on the gender equality consciousness in Day-care Center. This study is implemented by surveying 190 day-care teachers in Seoul, Incheon, Mokpo, Gwangju, BuSan, Kyungki-Do area. By the results of teachers participated in this workshop program, we can summarise general tendency and characteristic of teaching gender equality as below. 1. Most of teachers in teaching practices have been experienced that young children has his/her preferable playing and actions according to difference of sex. 2. Even though, some of teachers do not define clearly there is suitably specified play to each of children. 3. Most of teachers in this workshop program reported that young children indicated unintentionally the conventional concept and the prejudice in his/her actions during sex role playing. 4. Given children``s conventional concept and prejudice during sex role playing, many teachers have been intermediating intentionally to the such a status but around 50% didn``t it. 5. In the teaching practice with boys and girls, most of teachers have experienced that they have particular characteristics and actions according to the difference of sex. 6. In teaching practice, it was stated by the .teachers that children does not have been motivated generally to desirable attitude and inclination about their sex characteristic. In this study, we would suggest to more teachers in practice to try to build up improved day care system in gender equality. And so, during teaching practice, teachers may need to reflect inherently their teaching experience and activity. For standardizing ideals of gender equality they also need set up guide line and desirable plan. Each teachers need to pay more efforts any time against conventional concept and prejudice of children``s gender view point and therefore. Teachers should be pay more attention to teaching and activities by themselves for the preception. Also, it is required to set up regular meeting in each individual day care center in which teachers can be motivated to take close observation and analysis to their teaching circumstance, as well as evaluation by each other.
