본 연구는 유아를 대상으로 하는 젠더감수성 교육에 대한 보육교직원의 태도를 질적방법으로 탐색하였다. 이를 위해, 수도권 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사와 원장을 연구참여자로 선정하고, 총 227명을 모집하였다. 자료수집은 시각방법론에 근거하여 젠더감수성 교육과 관련된 그림책을 이용한 프로토콜서술로 실시되었다. 수집된 자료의 분석은 중심주제 분석에 따라 이루어졌다. 젠더감수성 교육은 성역할 유연성과 성지향 개방성에 대한 내용으로 나눌 수 있다. 연구결과에 따르면, 연구참여자 대부분이 성역할 유연성 교육에 대해서는 긍정적 태도를 나타냈다. 연구참여자들은 성역할 유연성이란 주제가 이미 사회적으로 포용되었고, 유아의 발달에 적합하며, 보육현장에서 실행하기에 용이하다고 인식하였다. 교육의 효과도 아동의 개별성 존중에 긍정적일 것으로 기대하였다. 한편, 성지향 개방성 교육에 대해서는 연구참여자의 53.3%가 부정적 태도를 보였다. 성지향 개방성에 대한 쟁점이 아직 사회적으로 합의되지 않았고, 발달적으로 유아보다는 청소년기 이상의 연령에 적합하며, 실제로 보육현장에 적용하기에는 관련 정보가 부족하다는 점이 지적되었다. 하지만, 연구참여자들의 40.5%가 향후 성지향 개방성에 대한 사회적 포용이 이루어질 것으로 예상하며, 보육현장에 적합한 교재와 교수방법이 개발되면 결국 유아를 대상으로 하는 성지향 개방성 교육이 이루어질 것이라는 긍정적 태도를 보였다. 본 연구는 한국 사회의 쟁점으로 부각된 젠더감수성 교육에 대한 이론적 고찰과 함께 유아를 대상으로 하는 젠더감수성 교육에 대한 보육교직원들의 태도를 비판적으로 검토하여 향후 유아 젠더감수성 교육의 실천적 담론화에 이바지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: This study aimed to reveal pre-service early childhood teachers' perception of children's environmental education using concept mapping and demonstrating its importance. Methods: Based on Kane and Trochim's(2007) procedure, 33 pre-service early childhood teachers conducted brainstorming and statement writing, and then the importance of selected statements were rated by 202 pre-service early childhood teachers. Selected statements were analyzed through multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis. Results: Pre-service early childhood teachers perceived children's environmental education as concept mapping with 2-dimensions and eight clusters. The following eight clusters were established (1) daily practice through hands on experience, (2) nature environment, (3) recognizing and coping with environmental issues, (4) environmental preservation practices, (5) environmental sensitivity and consideration, (6) purpose of children's environmental education, (7) necessity for children's environmental education (8) Practice through connection with child's home and community. And then among the eight clusters, the most important was recognized as 'daily practice through hands on experience', and among the statements 'young children learn through the method of playing in nature and experience nature' was considered the most important. Conclusion/Implications: Based on these results, we discuss the importance of children's environmental education of pre-service early childhood teachers and how to support to develop teacher's training program.

The purpose of this study was to validate the standardization of the "Korean Childcare Teacher's Job Satisfaction Scale"(K-CTJSS) that the validity and reliability was evaluated by pretest in 2009. K-CTJSS is composed by 40 items with 6 factors and is responded by 6 point Likert scale. Participants consisted of 1,276 childcare teachers in Korea except Gangwon-do and Jeju-do by purposive sampling. Results were as follows: First, exploratory factor analysis resulted in 40 items composed of 6 factors (director's childcare center management system, social recognition, working environment and welfare, workload and time management, relationship with co-workers, relationship with parents). Second, the confirmatory factor analysis supported a 6 factor structure by resulting over appropriate level of goodness of fit. Third, inter-corelation coefficients among 6 factors were significant level(r = .10~.70). Fourth, the reli ability level of 6 factors by Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ were high(.84~.95.). Finally, concurrent validity levels with Childhood Job Satisfaction Survey(Jorde-Bloom, 1989) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale(Diener et al., 1985) were r = .07~.84 and .19~.46, respectively.

This qualitative study explores how volunteering to help in early childhood education is conceptualized from the perspectives of three parties involved; university students, university professors, and principals as well as teachers, and children‘s mothers from a local daycare center and a kindergarten. Data was collected through journals, interviews, and several other artifacts, such as student portfolios, and letters from mothers. Findings were as follows: firstly, preservice early childhood teachers defined voluntary activity in early childhood education as a service that requires motivation and responsibility, and as an activity that helps to establish their identities as teachers. Secondly, university professors constructed the system for service learning activities and helped preservice early childhood teachers’ change the view from volunteering activity to volunteering learning. Thirdly, the local community referred to these activities in terms of the partnerships made for children‘s education and the possibility of cooperative childcare. The findings of this study describe the perspectives of parties involved and may be helpful in planning and executing specialized volunteer projects as well as in understanding volunteer behavior.
