Objective: This study aimed to reveal early childhood teachers' perceptions of teacher competency for ESD using concept mapping and demonstrating its importance. Methods: 16 early childhood teachers in charge of 3-5 year olds conducted statement writing, and then the importance of selected statements were rated by 160 early childhood teachers in charge of 3-5 year olds. Selected statements were analyzed through multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis. Results: Early childhood teachers perceived teacher competency for ESD in early childhood as concept mapping with two-dimensions and six clusters. The following six clusters were established (1) ethics for sustainable development, (2) willingness to participate in ESD, (3) development and operation of a sustainable development curriculum, (4) recognition and practice of environmental issues, (5) realization of value for sustainable development, and (6) practical thinking for ESD. And then among the six clusters, the most important cluster was recognized as 'ethics for sustainable development', and among the statements 'having an open mind to understand multiculturalism and the disabled' was considered relatively important Conclusion/Implications: Based on these results, we discussed the importance of teacher competency for ESD in early childhood, development of teacher competency scale, and preparation of a teacher education plans for each competency.

본 연구는 예비유아교사의 성격유형과 교사효능감 간의 관계를 분석하고 성격유형이 교사효능감에 미치는 영향력을 분석하는 데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에서는 G지역의 3,4년제 유아교육과에 재학 중인 228명의 예비유아교사를 대상으로 질문지를 사용하여 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 사용하여 기술통계, Pearson의 상관관계분석을 실시하고, 영향력을 살펴보기 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 예비유아교사의 성격유형과 교사효능감 간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 통계적으로 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 성격유형 중 외향성과 교사효능감이 가장 높은 정적 상관관계를 보였으며, 신경증은 교사효능감과 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 예비유아교사의 성격유형 교사효능감을 의미 있게 예측하는 변인으로 나타났으며, 25%의 설명력을 보였다. 또한 예비유아교사의 성격유형 중 외향성이 교사효능감에 가장 많은 영향력을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 예비유아교사의 성격유형 중 외향성이 강한 예측 변인으로 나타나 교사효능감 증진에 외향적인 성격이 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구 결과를 토대로 예비유아교사의 교사효능감을 증진시키기 위해 외향적인 특성을 함양하기 위한 예비유아교사 교육 프로그램이 필요함을 시사한다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to classify early childhood educators' perfectionism types and to identify differences in teacher self-efficacy and teachers burnout according to the types of perfectionism. Methods: The participants of this study were 309 teachers working at early childhood education centers in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Daejeon, Se-jong, Kim-Cheon, and Hong-Sung, South Korea. Early childhood educators were surveyed regarding perfectionism, teacher self-efficacy and teacher burnout. The collected data were analyzed using K-means cluster analyses and analysis of covariance. Results: Cluster analyses with self-oriented perfectionism and other-oriented perfectionism as cluster variables resulted in three types of perfectionism among early childhood educators; 'self-other directed perfectionism(33.0%)', 'other directed perfectionism(35.0%)' and 'non perfectionism(32.0%)'. Educators with self-other directed perfectionism reported higher teacher self-efficacy and lower teacher burnout than educators with other directed perfectionism or with non perfectionism. Conclusion/Implications: Early childhood educators' perfectionism may be a significant personality trait linked to quality of education and care in real education settings.

The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness of two major groups of early childhood teachers, (that is, kindergarten teachers and nursery teachers), in terms of the image of what constitutes an early childhood teacher. More specifically, this study sought to investigate any possible gaps between the two groups in that aspect, in an effort to shed light on (and understand in greater detail), the awareness of the two groups regarding the image of early childhood teachers in detail. The subjects in this study comprised 310 early childhood teachers, out of which 156 teachers worked in kindergartens and 154 teachers worked in daycare centers in Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang Province. The findings of the study were as follows : First, kindergarten teachers' images of a kindergarten teacher were mostly associated with the professional domain, followed by the domain of personality, a physical domain and a professional attitude domain. As a result of checking the awareness of the nursery teachers regarding the image of a kindergarten teacher in more detail, their image of a kindergarten teacher appeared to be mostly associated with the professional domain, followed by the professional attitude domain, the domain of personality and the physical domain. There were statistically significant gaps between the kindergarten teachers and the nursery teachers in terms of their image of a kindergarten teacher. Second, as for the awareness of the kindergarten teachers of the image of a nursery teacher, their image of a nursery teacher was mostly linked to the domain of personality, followed by the professional domain, the physical domain and the professional attitude domain. Regarding the awareness of the nursery teachers of the image of a nursery teacher, their image of a nursery teacher was mostly associated with the professional domain, followed by the domain of personality, the professional attitude domain and the physical domain. Statistically significant gaps between the kindergarten teachers and the nursery teachers were found in the image of a nursery teacher.
