Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate early childhood teachers' difficulties in creativity education. The subjects of this study were 10 early childhood teachers. Data were collected from reflective journals and in depth interviews. The results were as follows: First, the difficulties fall into two categories; inter and outer difficulties. Second, inter difficulties were teachers' misunderstanding of creativity. Third, outer difficulties were parent's demand for prerequisite learning, kindergarten director's goals of education, insufficient pre-service teacher education, and a lack of support to teachers.
