Objective: This study aimed to develop a documentation model that can support early chlildhood learning through play and facilitate the implementation of early childhood and play-oriented curriculum. Methods: This study utilized the design and development research methodology to derive components for the model through literature review and investigation research. In addition, the model was gradually improved through the 3rd expert review, and the validity of the model was verified through usability evaluation with 10 early childhood teachers. Results: This study identified 13 components and developed a flexible, selective, repetitive, and cyclic documentation model based on the 2019 revised Nuri curriculum. Model development is embodied and presented as a model-detailed model-detailed content. The model is presented in detail in the study. Conclusion/Implications: The documentation model developed in this study is expected to provide guidance to early childhood teachers and serve as a basis for future research on documentation in early childhood education. It is expected that it will be able to present the practical direction of records for play support for teachers in the field.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate Pre-service early childhood teachers' perceptions and roles regarding young children's free play time. Methods: The study utilized the photovoice method and involved 21 pre-service early childhood teachers who expressed interest in participating. Participants were enrolled in an infants teaching methodology class in B city. The study involved four virtual meetings conducted via untact teams, and the automatic recordings of these meetings were transcribed for analysis. Results: The results revealed that pre-service early childhood teachers recognized young children's free play time as a period to enjoy full freedom, develop as the main agent of their lives, and express their imagination. Furthermore, pre-service early childhood teachers perceived their roles during young children's free play time as a specialist infant observer, a connector between play and learning, and a versatile supporter. Conclusion/Implications: The findings suggest the need for a systematic curriculum to provide pre-service early childhood teachers with a balanced perspective and awareness of the meaning of free play and teacher roles. The study highlights the importance of expanding pre-practice courses for observation of play and field-oriented curriculum for incumbent teachers.

본 연구는 은유분석을 통해 놀이중심교육에 대해 예비유아교사들이 어떠한 인식을 하고 있는지 조사하여 예비유아교사들이 생각하고 있는 놀이중심교육의 의미를 파악하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 경상남도 C시에 소재한 4년제 및 3년제 대학교 유아교육과에 재학중인 예비유아교사들로 최종 183명이 참여하였다. 연구도구로 놀이를 은유적으로 표현하고 그 이유를 서술하도록 한 질문지를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 체계적 은유분석 단계를 적용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 놀이중심교육에 대한 예비유아교사들의 은유적 표현 범주에서 교수학습방법이 가장 많았으며, 환경, 즐거움·행복, 자율, 성장발달, 상호작용관계, 유아주도, 삶의 본, 흥미, 창의성, 잠재력, 가변성, 일상, 시작과 끝의 모호성, 자연스러움, 기타 순으로 분류되어 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 개정 누리과정에서 놀이중심교육을 어떻게 구현할 것인지에 대한 구체적인 예비유아교사교육 방법에 대한 시사점을 제공할 수 있을것이다.

본 논문은 만 5세 대상 인공지능(AI) 교육 프로그램을 개발하기 위해 AI 교육에 대한 유아교사의 인식과 요구사항들을 분석하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 연구방법은 ADDIE 모형의 1단계인 분석단계를 중심으로 AI 교육의 교육적 요소를 추출하기 위해 설문조사 및 심층 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 만 5세 대상 AI 교육은 놀이로서 자연스럽게 받아들일 수 있는 유아교육 내용과 AI를 융합한 교육과정을 설계해야 한다. 둘째, 교사의 성찰을 반영할 수 있는 AI 교육의 평가도구가 체계적으로 개발되어야 한다. 셋째, 놀이중심의 AI 교육환경 지원 및 유아교사 대상 교육지원이 필요하다. 마지막으로 비교과 교육과정의 AI 교육 등을 고려하여 지속해서 유아교육 현장에서 운영될 수 있도록 시스템을 구축해야 한다. 향후 만 5세 대상 놀이중심 AI 교육 프로그램을 개발하여 유아 대상의 AI 교육에 대한 인식을 확산하고 학습자의 연령별, 단계별 AI 교육 접근방안을 제시할 것을 기대한다.

4차 산업의 혁신적인 발달과 코로나 팬데믹은 교육시장에 커다란 변화를 일으켜 급기야는 유치원을 비롯한 초중고교에 인공지능(AI)교육을 실행하도록 하였다. 그러나 미처 준비되지 않은 상황에서의 유아 AI 교육은 결과 중심적, 특별활동 형태로 이루어지고 있어 유아 AI 교육이란 무엇이며, AI 교육내용 규명과 이를 어떻게 누리교육과정에 접목하는가에 관한 연구의 필요성이 제기되었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 문헌 연구를 통하여 유아 AI 교육을 정의하고 AI 교육내용을 규명하여 이를 누리교육과정에 편성하여 운영하도록 하였다. 분석 결과 유아 AI 교육은 컴퓨팅 사고력을 기반으로 디지털 역량을 함양하는 것을 목적으로 이루어져야 하며, 컴퓨터, 인터넷, 프로그램을 AI 교육의 하위요소로 추출하였다. 이를 누리교육과정에 접목시키기 위해 두 가지 접근 방법을 제시하였다. 첫째는 설정된 세 개의 AI 교육내용을 각각 생활주제로 설정하여 그에 따른 하위요인을 선정하고 각각의 하위요인에 적합한 활동을 계획하여 시행하는 것이다. 둘째는 기존 누리 교육과정의 생활주제에 적합하게 AI 교육내용을 하위 교육활동 차원으로 전개하여 운영하는 것이다. 본 연구가 유아교육의 특성을 고려하고 누리교육과정에 편성되어 진정한 의미의 유아 AI 교육이 실현되기를 희망하며, 누리과정 5개 영역에 따른 AI 놀이 교육 프로그램에 대한 보다 많은 연구가 이루어지기를 희망하는 바이다.

This study examined the relationships between teacher variables that improve the efficacy of the play teaching of infants and toddlers following a play-oriented curriculum. The participants were 287 infant teachers. The results were as follows. First, the independent variables had a significant effect on the efficacy of play teaching, teacher-infant interaction, and classroom environment. Second, the mediating effects of teacher-infant interaction and classroom environment on the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching were as follows. The interaction mediating effect between professionalism and play belief was significant, but teaching creativity was found to be significant. In the mediating effect of the classroom environment, expertise, play belief, and teaching creativity were found to be significant. Third, both teacher-infant interaction and the multimedia effect of the classroom environment were statistically significant in mediating the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching. These results provide basic data on the necessity for teacher education to explore ways to improve teachers' sense of efficacy in teaching play and their teaching skills.

Background and objective: This study was conducted to identify the components of kindergartener horticultural education by deriving objective components of horticultural education using the Delphi survey method, and then to provide basic data that can be used when creating horticultural programs in the regular curriculum. Methods: A total of 32 experts including professors of early childhood education, kindergarten directors, horticultural therapy professors, and horticultural therapists were selected as the Delphi panel. Of the 32 selected, only 29 answered all three rounds of the surveys. For the first round of the survey, an open-ended questionnaire, was used, and in the second and third rounds closed-ended questionnaires were used. Results: Results indicated that under the category of the goals of horticultural education, there were 7 items related to the current problems of horticultural education, 16 items related to the need for horticultural education in the smart age, 18 items related to the direction of horticultural education, and 5 items related to the areas most suitable for horticulture education for young children in the Nuri Curriculum. Results in the category of the implementation of horticultural education indicated that 2 items related to horticultural education hours, 3 items related to the venue for horticultural education, 2 items related to the activity types applicable to the Nuri Curriculum, and 4 items related to the objects of horticultural activities were derived. As the current problems of horticultural education, the following items were identified: event-oriented activity (M = 4.24) and lack of kindergarten teachers' opportunities for systematic gardening education (M = 4.21). The results related to the necessity of horticultural education indicated the following items: education on respect for life through caring (M = 4.59), emotional intelligence and stability (M = 4.55), directly experience of the growth process of plants (M = 4.55), and development of the five senses (M = 4.55). Finally, within the direction of horticultural education: nurturing the desire to live with nature (M = 4.50), and learning about life (M = 4.44) was identified, which had higher averages. Within the areas of the Nuri Curriculum, which is most consistent with horticultural education, nature exploration (M = 4.69) and the integration of all areas (M = 4.59) were derived as priorities. Also, regarding the implementation of horticultural education, the following items were derived as the priority from the expert group: 30-40 minutes (M = 4.14) and 40-50 minutes (M = 4.14) for class periods, outdoor garden in a kindergarten(M = 4.66) for the venue of gardening education, outside play (M = 4.59) for the activity type, and vegetable crops (M = 4.55) for the objects of gardening activities. Conclusion: It is significant that the goal and implementation of kindergartner horticultural education were objectively derived through collecting opinions of expert panels. Based on the results of this study, a horticultural education program for kindergarten teachers should be implemented.
