Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of early childhood teachers' teaching efficacy and teaching flow on their teacher-child interactions. The subjects were 386 early childhood teachers in Metropolitan area, South Korea. Subjects' teaching efficacy, teaching flow, and teacher-child interactions were measured using the self-reporting questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analyses, and the analyses of multiple regression using SPSS 21.0. As results, early childhood teachers' teaching efficacy and teaching flow had significantly positive correlations with their teacher-child interactions. In addition, teaching efficacy and teaching flow had significantly positive effect on their teacher-child interactions.

본 연구의 목적은 유아교사의 교수효능감과 교수몰입 및 교사-유아상호작용 간 관계를 살펴보고, 교수효능감과 교수몰입이 교사-유아상호작용에 미치는 영향을 고찰하는 것이다. 연구대상은 수도권 소재 유치원과 어린이집에 근무하는 유아교사 386명이다. 연구대상의 교수효능감과 교수몰입 및 교사-유아상호작용은 설문지를 사용하여 측정되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0을 활용하여 분석되었으며, 기술통계분석과 Pearson 상관관계분석 및 중다회귀분석이 실시되었다. 연구결과로는 첫째, 유아교사의 교수효능감과 교수몰입은 교사-유아상호작용의 총점 및 하위요인과 유의한 정적 상관관계인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아교사의 교수효능감과 교수몰입은 교사-유아상호작용에 유의한 정적영향을 미쳤으며, 상대적 영향력에 있어서 교수몰입이 교수효능감 보다 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
