Objective: This study explored the relationship between early childhood teachers' teaching efficacy, teacher-child interaction, and preschoolers' school readiness. Methods: The data were drawn from the seventh wave of the Panel Study on Korean Children. The subjects of this study were 1,150 preschoolers and their teachers. Early childhood teachers reported their teaching efficacy, their interaction with preschoolers, and preschoolers' school readiness. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: First, early childhood teachers' teaching efficacy did not have a direct effect on preschoolers' school readiness. Second, early childhood teachers' teaching efficacy had an indirect effect on preschoolers' school readiness through teacher-child interaction. In other words, teachers with a high level of teaching efficacy had high-quality interactions with preschoolers, which led to preschoolers showing a high level of school readiness. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study highlight the importance of teachers' high teaching efficacy and high-quality interactions between teachers and preschoolers to improve preschoolers' school readiness. In addition, this study contributes to a better understanding of the mechanism by which teachers' teaching efficacy influences preschoolers' school readiness.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of innovative culture in early childhood education institutions on the relationship between teachers' civic consciousness and actions for building a community in order to obtain methodological information for implementation at a time when the need to build an education community has been raised. Methods: The data were collected through 275 early childhood teachers working in kindergartens and daycare centers Then, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression were conducted. Results: All three variables civic consciousness, innovative culture, and actions for building a community showed a significant positive correlation. As a result of analyzing the mediating effect of innovation culture, it was found that the indirect effect of teachers' civic consciousness on the actions for building a community through the innovative culture was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion/Implications: This study was found that it is important to strengthen the teacher's civic consciousness and to create an innovative culture of early childhood education institutions in order to promote actions for building an educational community of teachers.

본 연구의 목적은 유아교사의 생활지도 효능감 개념을 규정하고, 실제 유아교육기관에서 생활지도의 구성요인을 밝혀, 유아교사의 생활지도 효능감을 객관적으로 판단할 수 있는 척도를 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 유아교사에게 요구되는 생활지도의 내용을 추출하고 국내, 외 교사효능감 이론 및 척도에 대한 고찰에 근거하여 83개 예비문항을 선정하였고 델파이방법에 의해 61개 문항을 선정하여 유아교사 243명을 대상으로 예비문항에 대한 응답을 구해 탐색적 요인 분석을 한 결과, 4요인 51문항 (문제행동지도 효능감 21문항, 유아이해 효능감 11문항, 가정연계 효능감 12문항, 기본생활습관지도 효능감 9문항)이 최종 문항으로 선정되었다. 최종척도에 대한 타당도와 신뢰도 검증을 위해 SPSS 프로그램을 사용하여 문항양호도 검증, 요인분석, 상관관계, 문항간 내적 합치도와 반분신뢰도를 산출하였다. 분석결과, 본 척도가 유아교사의 생활지도 효능감을 측정하기에 적합한 도구임이 확인되었다.

Objective: This study aimed to provide policy implications by studying the class size of early childhood education institutes. Methods: By looking through researches, the educational influence of class size was examined. By using the latest statistical data, class size standard and status were compared. After class size perception in the field was considered and the main results of advanced researches were summarized and analyzed, the actual condition of class size was diagnosed. Furthermore, the national research trend was analyzed. Results: First, class size was an influencing factor on young children and teachers and its importance was reconfirmed. Second, as for standard in relation to class size in Korea, the maximum class size and teacher-child ratio were not presented together. In respect of overseas standards, infancy has similar standards, but early childhood has a little higher ratio. In the educational fields, there was growing awareness that class size should be modified. Third, there were not enough domestic researches on class size and they tended to be biased in terms of the method, targets, and contents. Conclusion/Implications: It is suggested that it is necessary to establish a class size policy for future early childhood education institutes, to implement a system, and to perform follow-up studies.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the mediating effects of play teaching efficacy in the relationship between the organizational health of teacher workplaces and the creative personality of the teachers. Methods: The Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and one-way ANOVA were conducted for data analysis using SPSS 25.0. For mediating analysis, Baron & Kenny's (1986) multiple regression analysis using SPSS 25.0 and the Sobel test were also implemented. Results: There were significant differences in the organizational health of the workplaces according to age, years of working experience, type of workplace, and daily working hours. For play teaching efficacy, there were significant differences according to age, education level, years of working experience, type of workplace, and daily working hours of the teacher. On the other hand, significant differences were found in terms of age and education level in relation to the teacher having a creative personality. Play teaching efficacy was found to have a full mediation effect on the relationship between the organizational health of the workplace and the creative personality of the teacher. Conclusion/Implications: The organizational health of the workplace and play teaching efficacy should be improved in order to enhance the creative personality of teachers in early childhood education.

본 연구는 교육실습을 마친 예비유아교사들이 아동과학지도 수업의 교육 내용에 대해 어떻게 인식하고 있으며 어떤 요구를 가지고 있는지를 살펴봄으로써, 아동과학지도 수업의 효율적인 운영을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 교육실습을 마친 예비유아교사 228명을 대상으로 연구자가 제작한 설문지를 배부 회수한 후 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과는 첫째, 교육실습 시전체 아동과학지도 수업이 도움이 된 정도에서 40% 정도가 '도움이 되었다'고 인식하였으며, 교육내용과 교수방법이 도움이 된 정도에서는 '보통정도'의 인식을 나타냈다. 교수방법 중에서 도움이 된 정도에 대한 인식은 '유아들 앞에서의 실제교수경험'이 가장 높게 나타났고 '이론위주의 강의 중심'이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 둘째, 예비유아교사들의 아동과학지도 수업에 대한 요구는 이론적인 내용보다는 실제 현장에서 바로 적용할 수 있는 여러 가지 실제적인 경험이 가능한 교육내용들에 대한 요구가 높았다. 교수방법 측면에서는 강의식 수업방식보다는 실제 유아들 앞에서 과학수업을 경험해 보는 교수방법이나 현직 유아교사들이 실시하고 있는 과학수업을 분석해보는 형식의 교수방법에 대한 요구가 더 높게 나타났다.

This study examined the mediating effect of emotional labor in the relations between teachers' emotional intelligence and teacher-child interaction of novice early childhood teachers. The sample consisted of 248 novice early childhood teachers in Gyeonggi Province. The structural equation modeling was conducted using AMOS to test the fit of a hypothesized structural model. The mediating effect of emotional labor was verified by the bootstrapping approach. The results were as follows: First, teacher-child interaction was positively associated with teachers' emotional intelligence and deep acting in emotional labor was negatively associated with surface acting in emotional labor. Next, surface acting in emotional labor had a mediating effect on the relations between emotional intelligence and teacher-child interaction. Finally, deep acting of emotional labor had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between emotional intelligence and teacher-child interaction. Based on these findings, ways to enhance teachers' emotional intelligence in relation to the novice teachers' emotional characteristics, and to improve recognition on emotional labor were discussed.
