본 연구는 영아 보육시설에서의 교사 직무만족도 및 영아 기질에 따라 교사-영아 관계가 차이가 있는가를 알아보고, 이를 통해 영아 보육에 관한 기초 자료를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 실시하였다. 연구대상은 충주지역의 27개 보육시설에서 영아반 교사 50명과 교사가 담당하는 영아 175명이었다. 연구결과는 첫째, 영아반 보육교사의 직무만족도는 교사의 연령과 근무하는 시설유형에서 부분적으로 차이가 나타났다. 원장과의 관계에 대한 직무만족도는 연령이 높은 교사가 연령이 낮은 교사들보다 더 높았고, 반면, 보수에 대한 만족도는 연령이 낮은 교사들이 높은 교사들보다 높게 나타났다. 영아 성별과 월령에 따른 영아 기질은 차이가 없었다. 교사-영아관계는 성별에 따른 차이가 있어서 여아가 남아의 경우보다 친밀한 관계를 유지하였으며, 어린 영아들이 교사와 더욱 의존적인 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 교사 직무만족도는 교사-영아 관계에서 친밀성과 의미 있는 차이가 있었다. 직무만족도가 높은 교사는 친밀한 교사-영아 관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 갈등과 의존성의 부정적인 교사-영아 관계는 교사의 직무만족도에 따라 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 셋째, 영아 기질에 따른 교사-영아 관계는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기질은 교사-영아 관계에 직접적인 영향을 주지는 않는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this research is to gather basic data to make nursery teachers' role clear and to suggest a way to improve their expertise by investigating their sensitivity and expertise. To fulfill this aim, this research was performed by targeting 180 nursery teachers responsible for infant classes in national, public, and private nursery schools. To measure the nursery teachers' sensitivity, Gerber's (2003) teacher sensitivity indicator is used. And to measure the efficacy of teaching play, the indicator, which was developed by E. Shin, Y. Yu and H. Park (2004), was used through modification and complement. Also for measuring the teacher's expertise, research data were collected by the generalized and modified questionnaire which was used in H. Yoon's (2010) research. The results of the analysis of collected data show that the teacher group with higher sensitivity in the infant class shows meaningfully higher professional ethics, higher performance, and higher recognition of expertise than the teacher group with lower sensitivity. And the teacher group with higher awareness of the efficacy of play shows higher professional ethics, higher performance, and higher recognition of expertise than the teacher group with lower sensitivity. too. Also, the results of the analysis of the correlation between the infant teacher's sensitivity, efficacy of teaching play, and recognition of expertise show that the teacher's sensitivity has a static correlation with the total points of social necessity, professional ethics, fairness, teacher's performance, and recognition of expertise. When we generalize the research results, we find that positive sensitivity and higher efficacy of teaching play make the infant class teacher's expertise recognition higher.
