Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find how the childcare teacher aptitude of students majoring in childcare and education influences their perception of teacher professionalism. To achieve that, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 216 early childhood preservice teachers living in A city. For data processing and analysis, SPSS program was used so as to conduct frequency analysis and calculate the mean and standard deviation. In addition, to test reliability and find relations between variables, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. As a result, firstly, in terms of the childcare teacher aptitude perceived by the students majoring in childcare and education, they highly perceived an affinity with young children and a sense of calling of their job; in terms of their perception of teacher professionalism, they highly perceived social necessity and vocational ethics. Secondly, early childhood preservice teachers' childcare teacher aptitude had a statistically significant correlation with their perception of teacher professionalism. Thirdly, the sub factors of early childhood preservice teachers' childcare teacher aptitude all positively influenced the sub factors of the perception of teacher professionalism. Given the study results, the students majoring in childcare and education perceived the importance of their aptitude of childcare teacher. In order to provide high-quality childcare service and create the positive aptitude of childcare teacher, it will be necessary to conduct a variety of basic research.

이 연구의 목적은 보육전공 학생들의 보육교사 적성이 교사전문성 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인은 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 A시에 소재한 예비보육교사 216명을 대상으로 질문지를 사용하여 실시하였다. 자료처리 및 분석은 SPSS 통계패키지 프로그램을 활용하여 빈도분석, 평균과 표준편차를 구하였다. 또한 신뢰도검증을 위하여 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$를 산출하였고, 각 변인간의 관련성을 알아보기 위해 상관관계분석과 다면적 회귀분석 방법을 활용하였다. 연구결과에 대하여 첫째, 보육전공 학생들이 지각한 보육교사 적성에서는 영유아에 대한 친화력과 업무에 대한 소명감이 교사전문성 인식에서는 사회적 필요성과 직업윤리가 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 예비보육교사들의 보육교사 적성, 교사전문성 인식에서 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 예비보육교사들의 보육교사 적성의 하위요인이 교사전문성 인식의 하위요인 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과로 볼 때, 보육전공 학생들의 보육교사 적성에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 질 높은 보육서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 명확하고 올바르고 긍정적인 보육교사 적성이 형성될 수 있도록 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
