본 연구는 유아교사의 인성과 개인변인에 따른 인성의 차이를 살펴보고, 유아교사의 인성 집단에 따른 유아 인성교육에 대한 인식, 실태를 알아보는 것이 목적이다. 이에 충청도 D시에 근무하고 있는 유아교사 194명을 대상으로 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0 program을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 유아교사의 인성은 경력과 연령에 따라 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 유아 인성교육에 대한 인식에서는 유아교사는 인성교육의 필요성과 중요성을 공감하고 있었으나 그에 따른 실천방법에 대한 부재가 장애요인이었다. 셋째, 인성이 높은 집단은 교사의 인간관계 덕목과 생명존중 및 인간애가 중요한 덕목이라고 인식하고 있었다. 넷째, 유아 인성교육에 대한 실태에서는 유아 인성교육의 목적을 인간존중으로 보았으며 바른 가치관이 교육의 내용으로 전 영역을 통한 지도를 해야 한다고 인식하였다. 다섯째, 인성이 낮은 집단의 교사는 직무수행이 교사의 덕목이며 유아는 예절이 필요한 덕목이라고 인식하고 있었다. 인성교육의 목적과 내용을 예절교육이라고 인식하고 있었으며 가정과의 연계를 통한 지도가 바람직하다고 인식하였다. 이에 유아에게 인성교육을 하기 위해서는 무엇보다 교사 자신 스스로 반성적 사고를 할 수 있는 기회가 필요하다.

Objective: The objective of this study is to classify the personality types of early childhood teachers and examine the variations in teacher self-efficacy and play support based on these personality types. Methods: The subjects of this study consisted of 302 early childhood teachers responsible for children aged 3 to 5 years old. The collected data were analyzed using cluster analysis and analysis of covariance. Results: Early childhood teachers were categorized into four types: the "sensitive group" (29%), the "conservative group" (10%), the "passive group" (28%), and the "active group" (34%). Significant differences in mean scores were observed for teacher self-efficacy and play support across these personality types. Notably, the active group demonstrated the highest levels of both teacher self-efficacy and play support. Consequently, the active group emerged as the most effective and functional personality type among early childhood teachers. Conclusion/Implications: This study emphasized the significance of early childhood teachers' personality types in their teaching practices, underscoring the importance of developing in-service and pre-service teacher education programs that take into account these personality types.

Sixty-two ECE teachers and 77 ECSE teachers responded to the survey developed for this study. There were no differences between the ECE teachers and ECSE teachers in the ratings of importance of the competency domains. However, the ECSE teachers had significantly higher perceptions than the ECE teachers of their self-proficiency on competencies related to child development, curriculum and instruction, assessment procedures, working with other adults, and professionalism. Both the ECE and ECSE teachers perceived the greatest need for further training in competencies related to assessment procedures and working with families and other adults.
