영문 초록

In recent days, "children with special needs" have been increasing in kindergartens and day- care centers, and we frequently come across the concems raised by child- care providers that they do not know how to take care of such children. Especially, newly-appointed child- care providers with less experience as well as experienced child-care providers are facing such difficul ties. Newly-appointed child- care providers are facing several problems about bringing up children with special needs. However, we could verify that by acquiring knowledge and techniques concerning the method of engaging with such children, their problems are alleviated. Acquiring knowledge and techniques does not mean that the newly- appointed child- care providers have to study on their own; it inc1udes receiving instructions and suggestions from the head of kindergarten and other fellow child- care providers as well as participating in training workshops. Based on these points, we can say that instead of psychological talks such as "snuggle the children in front of us and take proper care of them" it is necessary to educate child- care providers about how to handle the problems faced by children and how to engage with their parents so that the child- care providers are able to take care of children with special needs without any worries. Instructors must keep these points in mind when conducting extemal training workshops for newly- appointed child- care providers.
