Abstract

This study aims to explore the applicability of the HyFlex Learning Model as a new form of early childhood education in the post-COVID-19 era. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, first, the current challenges of early childhood education and the form of early childhood distance education in Korea were examined. Second, after examining the outline and characteristics of the HyFlex Learning Model(HLM) and the application cases of overseas institutions, in particular, the cases of applying the HLM in overseas early childhood education institutions were reviewed. Third, things to consider when applying the HLM in the field of early childhood education in Korea were derived. As a result, the HLM was investigated to be applicable not only in higher education but also in early childhood education as a model that emphasizes the learner's choice, learner-centered/directed, and activity. In order to apply the HLM to the early childhood education field in Korea, several points to be considered were proposed. Finally, the contribution of this study and further study were suggested.

이 연구는 Post COVID-19 시대 유아교육의 새로운 형태로써 하이플렉스 수업 모형의 적용 가능성을 탐색해보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 문헌조사를 실시하였으며, 연구 절차로는 1) 현재 국내 유아교육의 당면과제 및 국내 원격교육의 운영형태를 살펴본 후, 2) 하이플렉스 수업 모형의 개요와 특징, 해외 기관의 적용 사례, 특히 해외 유아교육기관에서 하이플렉스 모형을 적용한 사례를 검토해봄으로써 3) 국내 유아교육 현장에서 하이플렉스 수업 모형을 적용하고자 할 때 고려해야 할 사항을 도출하였다. 연구결과, 온라인과 오프라인, 실시간과 비실시간을 혼합하여 사용하는 모형인 하이플렉스 수업 모형은 학습자의 선택권과 주도성, 활동성을 강조하는 모형으로 고등교육뿐만 아니라 유아교육에서도 활용 가능한 것으로 조사되었다. 국내 유아교육 현장에 하이플렉스 수업 모형을 적용하기 위해서는 첫째, 물리적 환경의 구성, 둘째, 보조교사, 기술지원자 등 보조인력의 활용, 셋째, 교수법 적용을 위한 주체별(교사, 교육기관, 유아 보호자) 교육 및 공동체 운영이 고려되어야 함을 제안하였다. 마지막으로 연구의 의의 및 향후 연구를 제시하였다.
