“…Caring has been categorized as a factor, which is a consistent outcome of the fact that it was presented as a factor in earlier character-related research (Baek and Lim 2015;Jeoung et al 2013). It is the character virtue most curricula and scholars chose for young children, as shown in Table 2 and recent dissertations (Oh 2016;Park 2019) and research papers (Cho 2016b;Jahng and Song 2016;Lim et al 2019) on young children that have been published focusing only on caring.…”

“…Christian character is fundamentally different from the concept of character contemplated under general psychology and education studies. Character based on humanism is focused on oneself, whereas the focus of Christian character is different because it resembles God's character (Jeoung et al 2013;Park 2012; as cited in Kim and Shin 2018). However, because character research is rarely conducted on a theological basis, it could lead to moralism, or the development of sociability and creativity for success (Kim 2012).…”

The emphasis on character education that has emerged from the Nuri national curriculum and the Character Education Act is leading the direction of Korean education. However, the lack of a proper scale of character assessment—especially Christian character for young children—has caused uncertainty in related studies. This study aims to develop and validate a scale that assesses Christian character for young children. The data was collected from 257 (study 1) and 405 (study 2) Christian children who attend church and kindergarten or day care center. Within 12 factors, 67 questions were developed, which were subsequently refined to 39 questions by seven professors. The Christian character scale for young children was finalized to twenty-four questions through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis within four factors: piety, self-control/harmony, responsibility/independence, and caring/respect.
