Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the research trends related to the children's department of church schools. The purpose of this study is to present basic data for the study of the children's department of church schools by analyzing the research period, research contents, research methods, and subjects of research related to the children's department of church schools. For this study, 50 domestic master's and doctoral dissertations searched through the National Assembly Library and the Research Information Sharing Service(RISS) were extracted with the keywords of 'church school' and 'children's department'. The frequency and percentage were calculated by analyzing the research related to the children's department of the church school according to four criteria: research period, research content, research method, and research subject. As a result of the study, first, the research trend of research papers in the children's department of church schools was found to be 49 articles (98%) for master's degrees and 1 article (2%) for doctoral degrees from 1980 to 2022. Trends by research period are focused on master's degrees. Second, the trend by research content was 27 practical studies (54%) and 23 theory studies (46%). In the research related to the children's department of church schools, the practical research accounted for a relatively high percentage compared to the theory research. Third, the trends by research method were in the order of 30 literature studies (60%), 19 quantitative studies (38%), and 1 qualitative study (2%). Research related to children's departments in church schools is being actively conducted with a focus on literature research. Fourth, as for the trends by study subject, the study was conducted focusing on physical subjects, with 35 subjects (70%) and 15 subjects (30%) of personal subjects. As research is conducted from physical objects to church schools and media, it is necessary to study the connection between church schools and families. As the research on church school kindergarten is focused on adults (teachers, parents, and educational preachers), in-depth research on children in church schools and qualitative research with voices from the field of children's department in church schools are required.

본 연구는 교회학교 유치부 관련 연구 동향을 알아보고자 하였다. 교회학교 유치부와 관련된 연구의 연구시기, 연구내용, 연구방법, 연구대상을 분석하여 교회학교 유치부 연구를 위한 기초자료를 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 위해 '교회학교', '유치부' 주제어로 국회도서관과 학술연구정보서비스(RISS)를 통해 검색된 국내 석·박사학위논문 50편을 추출하였다. 교회학교 유치부 관련 연구를 연구시기, 연구내용, 연구방법, 연구대상의 네 가지 준거로 분석하여 빈도와 백분율을 산출하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 교회학교 유치부 연구논문의 연구시기별 동향은 1980년부터 2022년까지 석사학위 49편(98%), 박사학위 1편(2%)으로 나타났다. 연구시기별 동향은 석사학위 중심으로 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 둘째, 연구내용별 동향은 실천연구 27편(54%), 기초연구 23편(46%)으로 나타났다. 교회학교 유치부 관련 연구는 실천연구가 기초연구에 비해 상대적으로 높은 비율을 차지하였다. 셋째, 연구방법별 동향은 문헌연구 30편(60%), 양적연구 19편(38%), 질적연구 1편(2%) 순으로 나타났다. 교회학교 유치부 관련 연구는 문헌연구 중심으로 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 넷째, 연구대상별 동향은 물적대상 35편(70%), 인적대상 15편(30%)으로 물적대상 중심으로 연구가 이루어졌다. 물적대상에서 교회학교, 매체 중심으로 연구가 이루어져서 교회학교와 가정 연계 연구가 필요하다. 교회학교 유치부 관련 연구는 성인(교사, 부모, 교육전도사) 중심의 연구가 이루어지고 있어, 교회학교의 유아에 대한 심층적 연구와 교회학교 유치부 현장의 목소리가 담긴 질적연구가 요구된다.
