Abstract

This study is intended to draw a scale for problem behaviors of young children. To achieve this, an empirical survey was carried out on experts from three groups of daycare center teachers, kindergarten teachers and early childhood education-majored professors. A total of 209 items were measured by the scale for young children's problem behaviors from the 1970s to now. The results showed that 96 of a total 209 items in 5 categories related to the scale for young children's problem behaviors were adopted as major items. Using these 96 major items in 5 categories, 17 out of 40 items in a peer relationship category, 13 out of 41 items in a development category, 20 out of 50 items in a fundamental habit category, 22 out of 38 items in a morality category, and 24 out of 40 items in an emotion category were adopted. Most items were adopted in the emotion category, whereas most items were rejected in the development category. Therefore, it is judged that their problem behaviors are caused mainly by anxiety, shrinking, unexpected behaviors, dependence on parents or teachers, and slow behaviors due to the latent negative emotions of young children at the developing stage.

본 연구는 유아들의 문제행동 척도를 도출하는데 목적을 갖고 실증조사하였다. 조사대상은 어린이집 교사와 유치원 교사, 유아 교육전공 교수 세 그룹의 전문가를 대상으로 하였으며, 1970년대 부터 현재까지 유아 문제행동에 대한 측정척도는 문항 209개 문항을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 유아의 문제행동 척도 관련한 5개 영역 총 209개의 항목 가운데 96개가 주요항목으로 채택되었다. 이들 하위 요인별 채택된 내용을 보면 또래 관계의 40항목 중 17개가 채택되고 발달영역 또한 41개 항목 중 13개 항목이 기본생활습관 50항목 중 20개 항목, 도덕성이 38개 항목 중 22개 항목, 정서적 항목의 40개 항목 중 24개 항목이 채택되었다. 이 중 가장 많은 항목이 채택된 문항은 정서적 요인이었으며 가장 많이 기각된 것은 발달 영역인 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 결과는 발달기 유아의 내면적으로 잠재되어 있는 부분은 부정적인 감정으로 인한 불안, 위축, 돌발 행동, 부모나 교사에 의존, 둔하된 저행동 등이 유아의 문제행동의 주요 원인인 것으로 판단된다.
