Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between early childhood teachers' play teaching efficacy and play sensitivity and children's play immersion, and to investigate the effect of play teaching efficacy and play sensitivity on children's play immersion. To this end, a survey was conducted targeting 359 early childhood teachers working in kindergartens and daycare centers located in J province. The research tools used in this study were 'Efficacy in Play Teaching' and 'Teacher's Play Sensitivity Scale' targeting teachers and 'Infant Play Immersion Test' targeting infants. As a result of the study, first, the correlation between play teaching efficacy and play sensitivity and young children's play immersion showed that there was a positive correlation between all variables other than the transformation of the sense of time among the teacher's play sensitivity sub-factors and play observation and children's play immersion sub-factors. Second, as a result of examining the effect of teacher's play teaching efficacy and play sensitivity on young children's play immersion, it was found to have a partially statistically significant effect.

본 연구의 목적은 유아교사의 놀이교수효능감 및 놀이 민감성과 유아의 놀이몰입 간의 관계를 분석하고 놀이교수효능감 및 놀이 민감성이 유아의 놀이몰입에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 J도에 위치한 유치원, 어린이집에 근무하고 있는 유아교사 359명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 연구도구는 교사를 대상으로 한 '놀이교수 효능감' 및 교사 놀이민감성 척도'와 유아를 대상으로 한 '유아놀입몰입검사' 도구를 사용하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 놀이교수효능감 및 놀이 민감성과 유아의 놀이몰입간의 상관 관계는 교사의 놀이민감성 하위요인 중 놀이 관찰과 유아놀이몰입 하위 요인 중 시간감각의 변형 외 모든 변인 간에 정적인 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째 교사의 놀이교수효능감 및 놀이 민감성이 유아의 놀이몰입에 미치는 영향을 살펴 본 결과 부분적으로 정적인 상관을 나타내었다.
