The purpose of this study was to investigate young children's perceptions of a teacher assistant robot, IrobiQ. in a kindergarten classroom. The subjects of this study were 23 6-year-olds attending to G kindergarten located in E city, Korea, where the teacher assistant robot had been in operation since Oct. 2008. Each child responded to questions assessing the child's perceptions of IrobiQ's identity regarding four domains : it's biological, intellectual, emotional and social identity. Some questions asked the child to affirm or deny some characteristics pertaining to the robot and the other questions asked the reasons for the answer given. The results indicated that while majority of children considered an IrobiQ not as a biological entity, but as a machine, they thought it could have an emotion and be their playmate. The implications of these results are two folds : firstly, they force us to reconsider the traditional ontological categories regarding intelligent service robots to understand human-robot interaction and secondly, they open up an ecological perspective on the design of teacher assistant robots for use with young children in early childhood education settings.

본 연구는 2019 개정 누리과정에서 유치원교사에게 강조된 자율성에 대한 인식과 실천현황에 대해 살펴봄으로써, 교사 자율성의 중요성을 강조하고 인식과 실천의 양상을 파악하여 교사 자율성이 반영되는 교육과정 운영에의 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해 121명의 공·사립 유치원교사를 대상으로 조사를 실시하고 빈도분석과 경력에 따른 차이검증을 실시하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 첫째, 유치원교사의 '자율성 인식'에서는 '자율성의 개념에 대해 관심이 많고, 실천하고자 시도해보았다', 자율성을 기대하는 분야로는 '교육계획 수립 및 운영의 자율성'이 가장 높았다. 고경력 교사들은 자율성이 대체로 잘 부여된다고 인식하는 반면, 저경력 교사들은 부여되지 않거나 보통이라고 인식하였다. 교사 자율성이 현장에서 부여되지 못한 이유로는 '기관에서의 자율적 의사결정 제한'이 가장 많았다. 둘째, 유치원교사의 '자율성 실천현황'은 기관운영 자율성 중 '교육계획 및 수립', 운영에서는 '일과 운영'에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 부모 및 지역사회의 교류에서는 '홈페이지 운영'이, 교사 전문성 개발에서는 '교사연수 참여', 교육활동 자율성에서는 '유아와의 상호작용'이 가장 높게 나타났다. 유아관찰 및 평가에서는 '활동 결과, 작품 등의 평가 유형, 방법 계획'과 '평가 결과에 기초한 상담 및 유아지도'에서 자율성 확보가 가장 높았다. 향후 연구에서는 자율성 실천의 맥락을 이해하기 위해 장기적 사례 연구 등이 수반되어야할 것이다.
