본 연구는 경기도 K시에 소재하고 있는 3년제 유아교육과 재학생들의 실습기관을 대상으로 서울 강서구, 인천광역시, 부천, 일산에 소재한 유치원과 어린이집 72군데에서 이루어진 유아교육과 재학생들의 실습현황과 교육환경을 알아보았다. 유아교육기관에서 이루어지는 실습생들의 실습지도 현황과 교사들의 근무시간, 급여. 유아교사와 기관장의 여성 편중화 현상 등에 대해 4주간의 교육실습 경험을 가진 예비교사들의 객관적 견해와 현황파악을 하여 자료를 제공함으로 실습지도 현황 파악에 목적을 두었다. 실태 분석 결과에 의하면 4주간의 현장실습은 유아교사를 지망하고 있는 유아교육과 재학생들이 현장을 이해하는데 상당히 도움이 되어 졸업 후 취업을 위해 긍정적으로 받아들여지고 있었으며 대부분의 실습생들은 유아교사로서 수업을 할 때 자신에게 가장 부담이 되고 부족함을 느꼈던 부분은 음악, 미술, 손유희 등의 실기부분이라고 답변했다. 또 남자교사의 필요성을 부분적으로 느끼고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 교육실습기관의 실습지도에 관한 구체적인 현황파악과 능력있는 유아교사 양성을 위해 대학교육과 현장의 유기적인 연계성을 갖기 위한 기초자료로서 제공 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objective: Studies have shown that turnover intention of teachers' in early childhood educational centers tend to negatively affect the quality of child care and children's adjustment. However, few studies have examined the underlying mechanism that increases teachers' turnover intention and have barely focused on environmental factors. We aimed to test whether workplace characteristics may affect teachers' turnover interntion through personal factors (i.e., burnout and health). Methods: A sample of 262 teachers participated in the study. Workplace characteristics, burnout, health and turnover intention were assesed through self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed through SEM using Mplus and the significance of mediation effects were estimated by the bootstrapping confidence intervals. Results: Finidngs indicated that a poor workplace enviornment directly predicted high turnover intentions of teachers and indirectly predicted through their high burnout and poor health contidion. Conclusion/Implications: These findings contriubed to provide better understaning about an effective future direction for policies and intervention programs in order to decrease teachers' turnover intention and subsequently increase the quality of early childhood educational centers.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop health education program components for early childhood and to investigate teachers' awareness of the importance of health education and their performance rate of health education. Methods: Early childhood health education program components were developed using two rounds of the Delphi method. The Delphi group consisted of 21 experts in childhood education. After health education program components were developed, they were used in surveying child care teachers' awareness of importance and performance rate and 151 teachers sampled from 30 child care centers participated in the survey. Results: The early childhood health education program components consisted of 5 areas, 16 subjects and 33 specific contents. Early childhood teachers' awareness of importance was over 4.5 points in all the areas and in 11 out of the 16 subjects. The most frequently educated subjects were 'the importance of hand washing' and the least frequently educated subject was 'obesity prevention'. The teachers' awareness of importance and their performance rate of specific contents were high in 'maintaining order' and 'using children's rides safely,' and low in 'obesity prevention' and 'infectious disease prevention.' Conclusion: The components of this health program were developed in consideration of field feasibility and the relationship of health program education in elementary, middle and high school.

본 연구는 2017년 개정된 일본 영유아 교육·보육과정의 구성체계와 개정중점을 탐색해 보는데 그 목적이 있다. 첫째, 2017년 개정 고시된 3기관(유치원, 보육소, 유보연계형 인정어린이원)의 영유아 교육·보육과정 구성체계는 다소 차이가 있으나 그 특성에 따라 보다 구체화하였으며, 공통적으로 개정중점을 같은 방향에서 제시하고 있다. 둘째, 교육·보육과정의 개정중점은 유아기까지 길러야 할 3가지 자질·능력을 정립, 10가지 유아상을 명확히 하고 있다는 점과 길러야 할 자질·능력과 유아상을 실천하기 위하여 커리큘럼·메니지먼트의 확립을 강조하고 있다는 점이다. 유아상에 제시한 내용이 영유아의 발달에 적합한지와 교사의 자율권을 보장하지 못하면서 지나치게 커리큘럼·메니지먼트의 확립을 강조하고 있지 않는지에 대한 교육·보육관계자들의 검토가 필요한 것으로 보인다.

The purposes of this study were (a) to ascertain early childhood teachers' beliefs and practices relative to the developmentally appropriate practices, and (b) to determine the relative differences of child care center teachers' beliefs and practices and kindergarten teachers' beliefs and practices. Although interest in obtaining information regarding teachers' beliefs and practices for developmentally appropriate practices in early childhood education is not new, it has commanded considerable attention recently, reflecting concern about growing fragmentation and discontinuity between the early childhood education and care services. A questionnaire measure of 4-and 5-year-old classroom teachers' beliefs and practices based on the guidelines for developmentally appropriate practices of the National Association for the education of Young children, which was consisted of the Teachers' Beliefs Scale(TBS) and the Instructional activities Scale(IAS), was administered to 215 child care center teachers and 215 kindergarten teachers. Positive correlations were found not only between teachers' beliefs and practices but also between developmentally appropriate belief and activities, and between developmentally inappropriate beliefs and activities. There was significant difference between child center and kindergarten teacher groups on the mean scores of each subscale, revealing that kindergarten group had a greater mean score on both TBS and IAS than child care center group. The results of this study implies that there is a great deal of teaching in either child care centers or kindergartens which is not congruent with developmentally appropriate practice. Also, the information obtained with the questionnaire has supported the contention that early childhood education and care services are need to be amalgamated based on the developmentally appropriate practices.

본 연구는 인천광역시에 소재한 유치원과 어린이집에 근무 중인 유아교사 60명을 대상으로 Novak과 Gowin(1984)이 고안한 개념도를 사용하여 유아교사가 지닌 유아역사교육에 대한 내용지식 및 그 지식수준을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 구체적으로, 연구자는 유아교사와의 소그룹 면담을 실시하여 유아역사교육에 대한 개념도를 작성하도록 요청하고 이를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 도출된 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유아교사들에 의해 사용되어진 유아역사교육의 상위개념의 범주는 11개로 확인되었으며, 그 가운데, 교사들이 가장 많이 사용한 상위개념은 '생활양식', 그 뒤를 이어 '문화/예술', 위인'의 순서로 조사되었다. 둘째, 특정 상위개념에 포함된 종속개념 수의 평균을 알아본 결과, '생활양식'이 가장 많은 종속개념을 가지고 있으며, 그 다음으로 문화/예술, 활동방법의 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 유아교사가 알고 있는 유아역사교육 내용 가운데 '생활양식'에 대한 지식의 폭이 가장 넓다는 것을 의미하며, 교수-학습 방법의 지식 폭도 상대적으로 넓은 것으로 확인된다. 하지만 위인의 경우는 상위개념에서 빈번하게 확인되었으나 종속개념에서는 그렇지 않아, 그 지식의 폭이 좁은 것으로 확인된다. 학자들은 교사의 교과내용에 대한 관심과 지식이 높을수록 다양한 교수 방법을 활용하여 확장, 분화하여 가르칠 수 있다고 설명한다. 따라서 유아역사교육에 대해서도 교사의 지식이 깊고 체계화되어야 하며 이를 위한 교사 재교육 등의 노력이 필요하다 하겠다.

The research questions were as follows: First, what are the types of turnover intention among early childhood teachers?. Second, what are the characteristics of the types of turnover intention among early childhood teachers?. Method: This study has adopted the Q methodology as a method. first, open surveys were conducted among 101 early childhood teachers and principals who work at kindergartens or child care centers along with literature research, followed by the establishment of Q samples(48 questions). Second, the Q sample was classified among the P sample and was comprised of 90 participants. Ninety early childhood teachers as P sample sorted the 48 Q statements. Results: The findings of this study were summarized as follows: First, the types of early childhood teacher's turnover intentions were identified as four-factors. Second, the characteristics of the four-types of turnover intention were interpreted as follows: 'The type of complex psychological conflict', 'The type of pursuit of social value', 'The type of dependence on organizational environment', 'The type of realistic self-development'. Conclusion/Implications: We suggested political and institutional supporting ways for each type of early childhood teachers.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of early childhood teacher's constructivist educational beliefs and teaching efficacy on creative teaching behavior. Methods: The subjects of this study were 262 early childhood teachers working in daycare centers and kindergartens all over the country. A questionnaire was administered which assessed early childhood teacher's constructivist educational beliefs, teaching efficacy, and creative teaching behavior. SPSS 28.0 was used for data analysis. Results: First, the constructivist educational beliefs of early childhood teachers had a positive effect on teaching efficacy. Second, it was found that early childhood teachers' constructivist educational beliefs and teaching efficacy had a positive effect on creative teaching behavior, and at the same time, early childhood teachers' constructivist educational beliefs were partially mediated by teaching efficacy. Conclusion/Implications: This study revealed the mediating effects of teaching efficacy in constructivist educational beliefs and creative teaching behavior relationships. Therefore, in order to promote creative teaching behavior of early childhood teachers, efforts should be made to increase teaching efficacy based on constructivist educational beliefs.
