Abstract

This study aims to provide basic data for revitalizing creativity research related to early childhood teachers by analyzing creativity research related to early childhood teachers. For this study, 103 master's and doctoral dissertations in Korea, which were searched through the National Assembly Library and the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), were selected under the themes of 'early childhood teacher', 'creativity', and 'creativity research trends'. The frequency and percentage were calculated by analyzing creativity research related to early childhood teachers with five criteria: research period, research content, research method, research subject, and creativity factor. As a result of the study, first, as for the trends of creativity research related to early childhood teachers, 91 master's theses (88.3%) and 12 doctoral theses (11.7%) were conducted from 1991 to 2022, focusing on master's theses. Second, trends by research content were found in 20 basic studies (19.4%) and 83 practical studies (80.6%). Creativity research related to early childhood teachers is being actively conducted centering on practical research. Third, trends by research method showed 96 quantitative studies (93.2%), 7 qualitative studies (6.8%), and 0 literature studies (0%). Creativity studies related to early childhood teachers were being conducted with a focus on quantitative research. Fourth, the trend by research subject consisted of 100 studies (97.1%) related to early childhood teachers and 3 studies (2.9%) related to pre-service early childhood teachers. Fifth, trends by creativity factor were found in 56 studies (54.4%) related to teacher's variables and 47 studies (45.6%) related to creativity education methods. Studies related to teacher's variables were relatively higher than creativity education methods. As a result of this study, there is a lack of Christian education research in creativity research related to early childhood teachers, so it is expected that it will be done in the future.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 유아 교사 관련 창의성 연구를 분석하여 유아 교사 관련 창의성 연구의 활성화를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 본 연구를 위해 '유아 교사', '창의성', '창의성 연구동향'을 주제어로 국회도서관과 학술연구정보서비스(RISS)를 통해 검색된 국내 석·박사학위논문 103편을 선정하였다. 유아 교사 관련 창의성 연구를 연구시기, 연구내용, 연구방법, 연구대상, 창의성요인의 5가지 준거로 분석하여 빈도와 백분율을 산출하였다. 결론 및 제언 : 연구결과, 첫째, 유아 교사 관련 창의성 연구의 시기별 동향은 1991년부터 2022년까지 석사논문 91편(88.3%), 박사논문 12편(11.7%)으로 석사논문중심으로 연구가 이루어지고 있었다. 둘째, 연구내용별 동향은 기초연구 20편(19.4%), 실천연구 83편(80.6%)으로 나타났다. 유아 교사 관련 창의성 연구는 실천연구 중심으로 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 셋째, 연구방법별 동향은 양적연구 96편(93.2%), 질적연구 7편(6.8%), 문헌연구 0편(0%) 순으로 나타났다. 유아 교사 관련 창의성 연구는 양적연구 중심으로 이루어지고 있었다. 넷째, 연구대상별 동향은 유아교사 관련 연구 100편(97.1%)과 예비유아교사 관련 연구 3편(2.9%)으로 이루어졌다. 다섯째, 창의성요인별 동향은 교사변인관련 연구 56편(54.4%)과 창의성 교육방법 관련 연구 47편(45.6%)으로 나타났다. 교사변인관련 연구가 창의성교육방법보다 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 유아 교사 관련 창의성 연구에서 기독교교육 연구가 부족하여, 향후 이루어지길 기대한다.
