이 연구는 그 동안의 유아교육에 대한 연구들이 심리학적 접근에 치우쳐 있어 아동과 아동기가 갖고 있는 사회적 측면에 대한 보다 체계적이고 심층적인 접근이 결여되어 있음을 반성하며, 이에 대한 대안적 접근으로서 미시적․비판적인 시각에서의 사회학적 접근이 유아기 아동을 총체적으로 이해하는 데 필요함을 논의의 핵심으로 삼았다. 이를 위해 유아교육학술지에서 논의되어 온 연구주제들을 범주화함으로써 유아교육연구의 관심주제와 함께 학문적 접근 방향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 이러한 자료를 토대로 유아기 아동에 대한 교육사회학적 접근의 필요성을 설명하였다.
As children education research is leaned psychological approach through this study from now on, I persist in the necessity of education sociological approach. To understand childhood children on the whole, we need the systematic and depth approach about social side in childhood. The education sociological approach in critical and micro sight is an alternative approach in this point. For these reasons, I have researched the general feature. I have researched the approach method with main subjects of early childhood education study through category of the research subjects in sociological approach on journal of early childhood education. Finally I explain the necessity of education sociological approach with these data, especially I emphasize the social relations of childhood with critical and micro sight in the veins of everyday practice. In a word, it is important to understand the life world of children and the children as positive beings in it. To understand their culture and social world, we must understand the action through continuous interaction process and the rule through time flowing. For the sake of this, beyond the approach which is psychological approach and functional approach from now on, it is urgent to do the holistic study about the usual life and socialized process of early childhood children with critical and micro approach.
