Objective: This study tried to find out if a teacher education program that supports professionalism for beginning child care teachers in toddler classes is effective in professionalism, self-respect, and efficacy in teaching. Methods: The study subjects were 40 beginning child care teachers in toddler classes teaching in day care centers in Seoul, Incheon, and Gwangmyeong Gyeonggi-do. They were divided into an experimental group (20 teachers) and a comparative group (20 teachers). The collected data were applied to the SPSS 22.0 program. To find homogeneity of the two groups, a t-test was conducted. To analyze an intergroup difference, ANCOVA was conducted in the way of setting a pre-test score as a covariate. Results: The experimental group which participated in the program showed more positive effects than the comparative group in terms of professionalism, self-respect, and efficacy in teaching. Conclusion/Implications: Based on the results of this study, the program is expected to be meaningful in the field of early childhood education, and to lay the foundation for beginning child care teachers in toddler classes to become experts in their field.

본 연구는 보육현장의 질적 수준을 향상시키기 위한 목적으로 국공립 어린이집과 민간 어린이집에서 근무하는 보육교사들을 대상으로 보육교사의 효능감이 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다. 보육교사들이 어린이집에서 근무하는데 변화의 잠재력을 보여주고 이들을 발전시킬 기회를 제공하기 위해서는 보육교사의 효능감이 무엇보다 중요하다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 영유아와 학부모에게 양질의 보육서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 보육교사의 직무만족이 필수적이다. 이에 본 연구에서 국공립 어린이집과 민간 어린이집에서 근무하는 보육교사들의 개인적 특성과 효능감을 비교하여 보육교사의 직무만족 향상을 위한 다양한 실천과제를 논의하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 어린이집 소재지는 국공립 어린이집과 민간 어린이집 보육교사 모두의 직무만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 공통요인으로 나타났다. 둘째, 국공립 어린이집 보육교사들은 민간 어린이집 보육교사들과는 달리 가정연계 및 긍정적 학습환경 조성효능감에서 직무만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 셋째, 국공립 어린이집과 민간 어린이집 보육교사의 직무만족도에 있어 의사결정참여 효능감이 공통적으로 유의한 영향요인으로 나타났다.

This study examined how child care teachers' background characteristics, self-efficacy and job stress relate to their job satisfaction. Participants were 400 child care teachers in Seoul and Gyeonggi, Korea. Structural equation models were developed based on the authors' hypothesized model, which proposed that teachers' self-efficacy and job stress have a mediating effect in the relationship between teachers' background characteristics and job satisfaction. The results revealed that career directly influenced on self-efficacy and job stress but had no direct effect on job satisfaction. Education level was found to have a direct effect on job stress but had no direct effect on self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Teachers' self-efficacy affected job stress and job satisfaction and job stress affected job satisfaction. Furthermore, self-efficacy mediated the effects of career on job stress and job satisfaction. Additionally, job stress mediated the effects of education level and self-efficacy on job satisfaction. These results suggested that teachers' self-efficacy and job stress were key predictors and mediating variables in the relationship between background characteristics and job satisfaction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between safety knowledge, health beliefs and self-efficacy in child care teachers. Method: The participants were 394 teachers from child care centers in Seoul city. Data collection was done using a questionnaire that included a Safety Knowledge Test, Health Belief Scale and Self-efficacy Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. The SPSS 11.0 Win program was used for analysis. Results: The mean was 12.11 for safety knowledge, 38.31 for health belief, and 91.07 for self-efficacy. There were statistically significant differences in the degree of safety knowledge according to safety education, in the level of health beliefs according to length of service as a teacher and in the degree of self-efficacy according to age, and length of service as a teacher. There were statistically significant positive correlations between safety knowledge and health belief, and between safety knowledge and self-efficacy of child care teachers. Conclusion: According to the results, programs to improve safety knowledge, health beliefs and self-efficacy of child care teachers should be developed and used to decrease the proportion of accidents involving children in Korea.

본 연구는 보육교사의 이직의도 및 전직의도에 미치는 보육효능감과 소진의 상호작용 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해, 보육교사 251명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그에 따른 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 보육교사는 이직의도보다는 전직의도를 더 높게 지니고 있었다. 둘째, 이직의도와 전직의도는 보육효능감이 낮을수록, 소진될수록 높았다. 셋째, 다른 보육시설로의 이직의도는 성취감 결여에 의해 소진될수록 높아졌다. 다른 직업으로의 전직의도는 성취감 결여와 정서적 고갈로 소진될수록 높아졌으나, 성취감 결여와 정서적 고갈이 높을 때 보육효능감이 높으면 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 보육교사의 이직 및 전직을 예방하는 차원에서 보육활동에서 경험하는 소진을 줄이고, 보육효능감을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안이 포괄적으로 모색되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: This study was performed to develop an infection prevention education program for child care teachers and to verify its effects. Methods: The study was conducted using a nonequivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design. Four private daycare centers (2 centers per city) that were alike in terms of the number of children by age, number of child care teachers, and child care environment were chosen. Participants were assigned to the experimental group (n=20) or control group (n=20). As a part of the program, visiting education (90 min) was provided in the 1st week, and smartphone application education (10 min) was provided thrice a week, in the 2nd and 3rd weeks. Results: Child care teachers' self-efficacy for infection prevention revealed a significant interaction effect between the group and time of measurement (F=21.62, p<.001). In terms of infection prevention behavior, a significant difference was observed between the experimental and control groups (z=-5.36, p<.001). Conclusion: The program implemented in this study was effective in improving the infection prevention self-efficacy and infection prevention behavior of child care teachers. Thus, this program may be effective in enhancing their infection control.

This study sought to illuminate a moderating effect of mother's perception of father's involvement on the associations between mother's parenting efficacy and child's emotional regulation. The participants in this study comprised 292 mothers whose children were aged between 4 and 5. The children were attending child care centers or kindergartens located in Seoul or Gyeonggi-do province in Korea. The questionnaires on mother's parental efficacy, father's parental involvement, and their children's emotional regulation were distributed to mothers through their child care centers or kindergartens. The results indicated a significant correlation among the variables. Although mothers' parenting efficacy had relatively higher effects upon their children's emotional regulation than their fathers' involvement, the effect of a fathers' involvement was still significant. In particular, the fathers' involvement in leisure activities moderated the effects of the mothers' parenting efficacy on children's emotional comprehension and regulation(one of the sub-factors of emotional regulation).

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the mediated effect of teacher-infant relationships between teacher efficacy and infant's adjustment to child care centers. Methods: A total of 137 child care teachers that lived in Gwangju and Jeollanamdo participated in this study. They were asked to answer two survey questionnaires for two infants. The data were analyzed using analysis of frequency, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: The main results are as follows. First, teacher-infant relationships partially mediated the relationship between teacher efficacy and two sub-factors (prosocial behavior and day work adjustment) of adjustment in child care centers. Unlikely as it was, several sub-factors such as positive emotion, peer adaptation, and self-strength were fully mediated by teacher-infant relationships. Conclusion: The present study suggests that it is necessary to improve teacher-infant relationships with teacher efficacy in order to improve infants' adaptation to daycare. In addition, it should be understood that the structural relationship of the influence factors is different depending on the sub-factors of the child care adjustment.
