Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the teacher's awareness and needs for early childhood mathematics education and outdoor movement activities. The study participants were eight kindergarten teachers located in Korea. in-depth interviews were conducted with teachers on 2014.04. ~ 2014.07. Interviews were held twice each, semi-structured with the order and content of the questions adjusted. As a result of analyzing and categorizing the collected data, the results were 'Early teacher's awareness of mathematics education', 'Early teacher's awareness of outdoor movement activities', and 'Educational teacher's awareness of mathematics activities linked to outdoor movement activities'. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the model of early childhood teacher for mathematics education and outdoor movement should be presented. Second, there is a need for ways to improve the teacher's confidence in mathematics education and outdoor movement.
