Abstract

Due to the characteristic that early childhood education is a process of nurturing children's senses by a leader rather than the transfer of knowledge, even in the era of with Corona, early childhood distance education is not one-to-one non-face-to-face education, but rather through distributed materials such as early childhood education packages or media such as TV. Distance education was conducted in a self-care method. Through a review of prior research and intensive parent interviews, the researcher identified the requirements for distance education, such as the expansion and accessibility of educational contents, understanding of basic knowledge of early childhood distance education, and the need to increase children's social skills through real-time distance education. It was identified that the current distance education-related solutions are not suitable for early childhood education. Accordingly, the researcher presents the basic direction (VERI) of the early childhood distance education solution of diversity, ease, real-time communication, and integration, and provides a Web/App platform that allows children, parents, and teachers to share content and communicate in real time and in non-real time. The development of a solution was proposed. This distance education solution is expected to effectively support early childhood distance education in the era of With Corona as infants, parents, and teachers communicate and share the current situation, which is only presenting guidelines and materials.

유아교육은 지식의 전달보다는 지도자에 의하여 유아의 감각을 키우는 과정이라는 특징으로 인하여, 위드 코로나 시대에서도 유아 원격교육은 일대일 비대면 교육 보다는, 유아교육 꾸러미 등 배포된 자료나 TV등의 매체를 통하여 학부모가 직접 돌보는 방식으로 원격교육이 진행되었다. 연구자는 선행연구 고찰 및 학부모 집중 인터뷰를 통하여, 교육 콘텐츠의 확대 및 접근성 확대, 유아 원격교육의 기본지식 이해, 실시간 원격교육을 통한 유아의 사회성 증대 필요 등의 원격교육 요구사항을 파악하였고, 현재 제공중인 원격교육 관련 솔루션이 유아교육에는 적합하지 않다는 것을 파악하였다. 이에 따라, 연구자는 다양성, 용이성, 실시간 소통, 통합이라는 유아 원격교육 솔루션의 기본방향(VERI)을 제시하고, 유아, 학부모, 교사가 함께 콘텐츠를 공유하고, 실시간 및 비실시간 소통을 할 수 있는 Web/App 솔루션 개발을 제안하였다. 이러한 원격교육 솔루션은 단지 가이드라인과 자료만 제시하고 있는 현재 상황을 유아-학부모-교사가 함께 소통하고, 콘텐츠를 공유하게 되어, 위드 코로나 시대의 유아 원격교육을 효율적으로 지원할 것으로 기대한다.
