Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of teachers' motivation for choosing teaching on the relationship with career adaptability through self-directed learning in 271 pre-service early childhood teachers. As a result of the study, first, career adaptability, self-directed learning, and motivation for choosing teaching were high in order. Second, there was a positive correlation that the higher the motivation for choosing a teaching profession, the higher the self-directed learning and career adaptation, and the higher the self-directed learning, the higher the career adaptation. Third, it was found that self-directed learning of pre-service early childhood teachers partially mediated teachers' motivation for choosing teaching and career adaptability. This study is significant in that it sought various perspectives in practicing high-quality early childhood teacher education program and provided basic data on teacher education program.

본 연구의 목적은 예비유아교사들의 교직선택동기, 진로적응력, 자기주도학습 간의 관계는 어떠한지 알아보며, 예비유아교사의 교직선택동기가 진로적응력과의 관계에서 자기주도학습을 매개로 하여 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 부산광역시 소재 예비유아교사 271명을 대상으로 교직선택동기, 진로적응력, 자기주도학습는 어떠한지를 알아보기 위해 기술통계를 실시하였고, 각 변인간의 상관을 알아보기 위해 Pearson의 적률상관계수를 구하였고, 중다회귀분석과 매개효과의 유의성을 검증하기 위하여 Sobel Test를 실시하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 예비유아교사의 교직선택동기, 자기주도학습, 진로적응력의 인식에서는 진로적응력, 자기주도학습, 교직선택동기 순으로 높게 나왔다. 둘째, 교직선택동기가 높아질수록 자기주도학습과 진로적응력이 높아지고, 자기주도학습이 높아질수록 진로적응력이 높아지는 정적 상관이 나타났다. 셋째, 예비유아교사의 자기주도학습은 교직선택동기와 진로적응력을 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 질 높은 유아교사교육을 실천하는데 다양한 관점을 모색하고 유아교사 양성기관의 교사교육 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
