Abstract

This study examined the meaning of creativity of children and teachers from two novice early childhood teachers' perspectives. Each novice early childhood teacher implemented a creative education program in her classroom for 16 weeks after getting a teacher training about children's creativity. At the end of each session of creative education program, each teacher had an evaluation time and wrote their reflective journals. Date sources were reflective journals, in-depth interviews, and several artifacts. The findings were as follows; 1) The meaning of children's creativity related to children's personal characteristics, such as thinking and acting differently as well as engaging fully in their current play. 2) The meaning of teachers' creativity related to teacher's personal characteristics, such as escaping from task-oriented tendencies as well as implementing with inventive flexibility.

본 연구는 2명의 초임 유아교사들이 창의성 교육 프로그램을 실행하면서 이들이 구성한 창의적인 유아와 창의적인 교사의 의미를 살펴보았다. 참여한 초임 유아 교사는 각 각 4년제 유아교육학과를 졸업하고, 교사가 된 지 1년, 2년째 되는 초임 유아 교사들이다. 이들은 기관에서 실행한 창의성에 대한 교사교육을 4주 동안 받은 후, 창의성 교육 프로그램을 16주 동안 실행하였다. 창의성 교육 프로그램을 실행하기 전, 함께 교육 프로그램 내용을 논의하고, 각자 반에서 실행을 하고 난 후, 매 주 모여서 함께 평가를 하기도 하고, 때로는 비디오를 보고 자기 평가를 하거나 반성적 저널을 썼다. 본 연구의 자료는 두 명의 교사가 쓴 반성적 저널, 개인 인터뷰, 교육계획안 등 다양한 자료를 수집하였고, 이러한 자료를 토대로 질적 분석을 하였다. 그 결과 초임 유아 교사들이 구성한 창의적인 유아는 남과 다른 생각이나 행동을 시도하며, '지금 현재'의 놀이에 몰입하는 유아라고 인식하였다. 창의적인 수업을 하는 교사는 과제 중심의 사고에서 벗어나서 창의적인 융통성을 갖고, 실천하는 교사라고 인식하였다.
