본 연구는 보육시설의 물리적인 환경 및 교사의 창의적인 역할수행과 유아창의성간의 관계에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해, 유아 182명을 대상으로 Torrance(1981)가 개발한 창의적 사고 검사인 TCAM(Thinking Creativity in Action and Movement)을 실시하여 창의성을 측정하였다. 또한 해당 어린이집 담임교사 28명을 대상으로 보육시설의 물리적 환경 및 교사의 창의적 역할수행에 관한 질문지 조사를 실시하였다. 그에 따른 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유아의 성별에 따른 유아의 창의성은 유의미한 차이가 없었으나, 유아의 연령에 따른 유아의 창의성은 창의성의 하위영역인 상상력에서 연령이 증가함에 따라 상상력이 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 물리적 환경의 질적 수준이 높을수록 유아의 창의성이 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 교사가 창의적인 역할을 유아에게 적극적으로 수행할수록 유아의 창의성은 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 보육시설의 물리적 환경 및 교사의 창의적 역할수행은 유아의 창의성과 유의미한 정적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 보육시설의 물리적 환경 및 교사의 창의적 역할수행은 유아의 창의성에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 보육시설의 물리적 환경의 질적 수준이 높고, 교사가 유아에게 창의적인 역할을 수행하기 위해 노력할수록 유아의 창의성이 더욱 성장하고 발달할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

There was significant correlation between children's playfulness and creativity. Intelligence spontaneousness the element of the playfulness has a correlation with Creativity strengths, Elaboration. In addition, Resistance to Premature Closure has a correlation with social spontaneity, And Originality has a correlation with the Expression of Pleasure the element of the playfulness, 2. There was a significant positive correlation between children's multiple intelligence(MI) and creativity, Fluency the element of creativity has a correlation with Interpersonal intelligence the element of multiple intelligence: And Originality has a correlation with Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Intrapersonal intelligence the element of MI. In addition, Abstraction of Titles has a correlation with Intrapersonal intelligence. 3. There was a little correlation between children's MI and playfulness. The Expression of Pleasure has a correlation with bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Based on the current study, the relationships between creativity, playfulness, and multiple intelligence could be identified.

The teacher's role scale for improving young children's creativity is designed for both teacher self-rating and observer rating. Content validity was determined by 5 experts who defined the domains of specific content. Construct validity was obtained by the self-ratings of 404 teachers of 3- to 5-year-old children. Five factors using 38 items of the original 59 were found to be related to the teacher's role in improving young children's creativity. The factors were Indulgence and Perseverance, Flexibility, Originality, Elaboration, and Fluency. Convergent validity was confirmed by positive correlations of the Teacher's Role Scale with the Teacher's Creativity Test of the Korean Institute for Research in the Behavioral Sciences. For internal consistency, Cronbach ${\alpha}$ of the 5 factors ranged from .74 to .88. Test-retest reliability coefficientents ranged from .653 to .838. These results confirm the Scale as a valid and reliable measure of the teacher's role in improving the creativity of young children.

Objective: This research aims to examine the effect of a young children's engineering-focused STEAM program based on the project approach - a program that constructs components aligned with children's interests in their play through an engineering design process - on their scientific inquiry ability, mathematical problem-solving ability, and creativity. Methods: In this research, 42 five-year-old children from a public kindergarten in S district, I city, were randomly divided into experimental and comparative groups, each with 21 children. The engineering-focused STEAM program was conducted from April 18 to June 10, 2022, with the experimental group exploring the 'car' theme and the comparison group focusing on a different theme. The study employed an independent sample t-test and analysis of covariance(ANCOVA), using the pretest as a covariate to control variables. Results: The children-selected 'cars' themed engineering-focused STEAM program was effective in enhancing their scientific inquiry ability, mathematical problem-solving ability and creativity. Conclusion/Implications: The engineering-focused STEAM program, which emerges from young children's interesting daily play, had positive effects on enhancing their scientific inquiry ability, mathematical problem-solving ability, and creativity. This research can serve as fundamental data for developing education programs focused on engineering within the STEAM framework, guided by children's emergent play.
