본 본 연구는 보육교사가 민주시민교육에 대해 어떻게 인식하고 있는가를 알아보기 위해 이루어졌다. 연구대상으로는 J지역의 재교육에 참여한 보육교사 200명을 선정하였으며, 자료처리는 빈도분석과 교차분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 민주시민교육의 요구도에 대한 보육교사의 인식은 교사 변인에 따라 차이를 보였다. 즉, 보육교사는 민주시민교육이 필요함을 인식하고 있었고, 민주시민교육이 어려운 주요 원인을 부모양육태도로 보았다. 둘째, 민주시민교육의 내용과 방법에 대한 보육교사의 인식은 교사 변인에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이를 토대로 가정, 지역사회와의 연계성을 강조하였고, 영유아의 발달에 근거한 민주시민교육 프로그램의 재구성을 제시하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 보육교사와 예비교사의 응급상황에 대한 대처 인식, 응급처치 방법에 대한 인식이 어떠한지 살펴보고, 이들 변인간의 차이를 알아보는데 있다. 연구 대상은 충청남도에 위치한 어린이집에서 근무하는 보육교사 188명과 동일 지역 소재 대학의 보육관련학과에 재학 중인 예비교사 70명을 대상으로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 빈도와 백분율로 처리하였고, 차이검증을 위해 교차분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 응급상황에 대한 대처 인식 중 응급상황 발생 시 대처능력과 가장 많이 발생하는 응급상황에 대한 답변은 보육교사와 예비교사가 차이를 나타냈다. 심폐소생술 인식과 이에 대한 교육 참여인식은 보육교사와 예비교사 모두 인식하고 있었다. 둘째, 응급상황에 따른 처치방법에 대한 인식에서 오답률이 높은 상황으로 보육교사와 예비교사 전체는 끼임, 중독, 구토, 물림 순으로 나타났다. 각 변인별로 살펴보면, 보육교사는 중독, 끼임, 구토, 물림 순인데 반해, 예비교사는 끼임, 구토, 중독, 물림 순으로 나타나 세부적으로는 차이를 나타냈다. 보육교사와 예비교사가 차이를 나타낸 상황으로 출혈(상처), 고열, 심폐소생술로 모두 보육교사의 정답률이 높았다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 다양한 응급처치 상황에 대한 실습교육이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

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 was to examine the effect of early childhood teacher-led child-centered group play therapy on young children's sociability. The changes of sociability in the therapeutic process were also examined. Methods: The subjects of this study were 12 young children who were five years old and attended a child care center in Gangwon-do. Subjects were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received 15 early childhood teacher-led child-centered group play therapy sessions twice a week. The sociability scale was used for pre-post tests and the data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0. Every session was video-taped and recorded verbatim. Qualitative data were analyzed to examine changes in sociability. Results: Children who participated in the early childhood teacher-led child-centered group play therapy demonstrated significant improvement in sociability.

The purpose of this study was to examine the difference of the father's and mother's reactions to their children's negative emotions, relations among the children's variables, parent's variables, and parent's reactions. The subjects selected were 183 mothers and 183 fathers with children aged three to five-years-old, from a childcare center and kindergarten in Kwang-ju. Parental emotion-related practices regarding children's negative emotions were assessed with an adaptation of the CCNES(Fabes et al, 1990) that was modified by Kim Hee-Jung(1994). Descriptives, Pearson's correlation coefficient, were used for data analysis by using the SPSS 15.0 program. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, fathers and mothers used more positive reactions than negative reactions when their children showed negative emotions. The mothers were significantly higher than fathers on encouragement of expression, punitive, and distress reactions. Second, the children's age and gender, parent's age, level of education and income were negatively and positively correlated to the father's and mother's reactions to their children's negative emotions.

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.
