유아 대상 영어학원에 자녀를 보낼 의향 유무에 따른 어머니의 영어학원에 대한 인식

Abstract

The study aimed to examined the differences in perception of English education institutes among mothers of children aged 2 to 5 who are enrolled in early childhood education institutions, based on their willingness to send their children to English education institutes. Using a questionnaire developed by the researcher, which was based on prior research, literature review, and maternal interviews, the following results were obtained. The findings reveal several key differences: first, mothers unwilling to send their childnre to English institutes believe their current early childhood education is sufficient and consider and that English education at academies is unnecessary. They also consider their children's temperament and tendencies when choosing an institution. Second, these mothers tend to provide more English education at home compared to those who are willing to send their children to English institutes.. Third, mothers who want to send their children to English education institutes are more likely to plan to do so when their children reach the age of 5. Fourth, mothers unwilling to send their children to English education institutes express greater concerns about English education institutes in general than mothers who are willing. These findings suggest that educational guidelines and alternatives should be developed to enable mothers to make critical and careful decisions about English education institutes for their children, and furthermore, to foster an environment conducive for their children's healthy growth and development.
