Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relations between the quality of teacher-child relationship, child temperament, and teacher-child interaction. The subjects were 51 3-4 years old children who were attending a preschool in Seoul and their mothers. The mothers of the young children rated child temperament and the head teachers of the children evaluated the quality of teacher-child relationship. The frequency of teacher-child interactions in the classroom was collected through observation during self-selected activities in the classrooms. Observational data included frequency of teacher-initiated interactions and number of child-initiated interactions. The results showed that boys were more likely to have conflictual relationships with teachers and girls were likely to have close relationships with teachers. And lower levels of effortful control were associated with teacher-child conflict. More child-initiated interactions were related to the conflict relationships with teachers. Results suggest that child characteristics and teacher-child interactions contribute to children's relationships with teachers.

본 연구는 교사-유아 관계가 유아의 성별 및 기질과 같은 개인적 특성과 교사-유아 간의 성별에 따라 교사-유아 관계의 특성에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고, 유아의 기질 및 교사-유아 간의 상호작용 빈도와 교사-유아 관계의 관련성을 살펴보았다. 연구대상은 서울시에 소재한 한 유아교육기관에 다니는 만 3~4세 유아 51명과 이들의 어머니 그리고 담임교사이었다. 유아의 기질은 어머니가 평가하였고, 교사-유아관계의 질은 담임교사가 평정하였다. 교사-유아 상호작용은 관찰자에 의해 자유선택활동시간 동안 유아주도 상호작용과 교사주도 상호작용으로 구분하여 빈도를 측정하였다. 자료분석 결과, 유아교사는 여아들과는 친밀한 관계를, 남아들과는 갈등 관계를 더 많이 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 유아의 기질과 교사-유아 관계에서는 의도적 통제 수준이 낮은 유아일수록 교사와 갈등적인 관계를 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 교사-유아 관계가 교사-유아 간의 상호작용 특성과 관련이 있는지를 살펴본 결과, 갈등적인 관계를 맺고 있는 유아에 대해 교사는 상호작용을 더 적게 시도하는 경향이 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
