Objective: This study explores how pre-service teachers' knowledge changed in the field of movement education and the characteristics of the instruction they perceived during a 15-week course. Methods: The drawing of concept maps and interviews were used to discuss how pre-service teachers' knowledge changed and the characteristics of the course. Results: The results showed that the pre-service teachers interrelated concepts in a more systematic way, and the concepts they used were increased while master concepts were decreased, indicating that their knowledge changed in a far more hierarchical order after the class. Characteristics of the course that led to a change in their knowledge appeared under the proper guidance of a professor. This was well demonstrated by feedback and evaluation at the stage of planning instruction and simulation teaching. Conclusion/Implications: The study demonstrated that the proper guidance of a professor was a useful tool for fostering the professional development of pre-service teachers in regard to constructing knowledge in movement education.

Objective: This study aimed to reveal pre-service early childhood teachers' perception of children's environmental education using concept mapping and demonstrating its importance. Methods: Based on Kane and Trochim's(2007) procedure, 33 pre-service early childhood teachers conducted brainstorming and statement writing, and then the importance of selected statements were rated by 202 pre-service early childhood teachers. Selected statements were analyzed through multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis. Results: Pre-service early childhood teachers perceived children's environmental education as concept mapping with 2-dimensions and eight clusters. The following eight clusters were established (1) daily practice through hands on experience, (2) nature environment, (3) recognizing and coping with environmental issues, (4) environmental preservation practices, (5) environmental sensitivity and consideration, (6) purpose of children's environmental education, (7) necessity for children's environmental education (8) Practice through connection with child's home and community. And then among the eight clusters, the most important was recognized as 'daily practice through hands on experience', and among the statements 'young children learn through the method of playing in nature and experience nature' was considered the most important. Conclusion/Implications: Based on these results, we discuss the importance of children's environmental education of pre-service early childhood teachers and how to support to develop teacher's training program.

본 연구는 4년제 대학에서 유아교육을 전공하고 있는 202명의 예비유아교사들을 대상으로 하고 있으며, 교직선택동기(내재적, 외재적) 수준과 자기격려 수준에 따른 교직수행능력의 차이를 분석하고, 교직선택동기와 교직수행능력의 관계에서 자기격려가 매개효과를 갖는지 분석하는데 주된 목적을 두고 있다. 자기보고식 설문지를 통해 자료를 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 Baron과 Kenny(1986)의 절차에 따라 중다회귀분석을 통해 분석하였으며, 여기에서 도출된 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 내재적 교직선택동기 수준이 높고, 자기격려 수준이 높은 집단이 낮은 집단에 비해 교직수행능력을 더 높게 인식하고 있었으며, 이러한 차이는 통계적으로 유의미하였다(p<.05). 그러나 외재적 교직선택동기 수준에서는 유의미하지 않았다. 둘째, 내재적 교직선택동기와 교직수행 능력의 관계에서 자기격려는 부분매개효과를 나타냈다(z=7.64, p<.001). 이 때, 교직수행능력에 대한 독립변인과 매개변인의 전체효과는 직접효과와 간접효과가 더해져 상당히 증가하였다. 셋째, 외재적 교직선택동기와 교직수행능력의 관계에서 자기격려는 완전매개효과를 나타냈다(z=4.24, p<.001). 즉, 외재적 교직선택동기의 교직수행능력에 대한 직접효과는 사라지고 자기격려를 매개함으로써 교직수행능력에 대한 간접효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 연구결과를 기초로 하여 유아교사양성 직전교육과정에서부터 교직선택동기에 따른 차별화된 상담과 생활지도의 필요성을 제기하였으며, 자기격려가 긍정적 심리적 기제로 작용함으로써 개인의 부정적 심리적 특성을 완화할 수 있는 가능성에 대하여 논의하고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to suggest basic data for prevention of child abuse by examining the patterns and characteristics of child abuse observed at child-care centers. Data was collected by pre-service early childhood teachers majoring in child studies in an education practice session from May 1 to May 31, 2015 based on examined information and class discussion. This study shows that emotional abuse was performed most often, followed by neglect and physical abuse. Physical abuse was observed as a form of punishment and beating, whereas emotional abuse was observed in the form of force, sarcastic remarks, verbal attacks, and disregard. Neglect was observed as exclusion and indifference. Most crucial prevention against child abuse lies in teachers' personality education and concerns with their own mental health as well as children's rights education.
