Abstract

The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify the relationship between maternal self-efficacy and young children's ego-resilience on their children's adjustment to educational institutions. The study population consisted of 162 young children's mothers and teachers from seven kindergartens in A city. Data were collected from June 1 to June 30, 2016. The questionnaire consisted of 73 items about maternal self-efficacy, children's ego-resilience and children's preschool adjustment. The collected data were analyzed by frequency, descriptive methods and Pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS/WIN 22.0 version. The study results were as follows. First, maternal self-efficacy was weakly positively(+) correlated with the activeness of children's preschool adjustment. Second, children's ego-resilience was significantly positively(+) correlated with children's preschool adjustment. Third, regarding the relationship between maternal self-efficacy and young children's ego-resilience on their children's adjustment to educational institutions, maternal self-efficacy was weakly positively(+) correlated with children's ego-resilience and children's preschool adjustment, while children's ego-resilience was strongly positively(+) correlated with maternal self-efficacy and children's preschool adjustment. In conclusion, this study finding of a positive(+) relationship between maternal self-efficacy and young children's ego-resilience on their children's adjustment to educational institutions indicates that children's ego-resilience is a reliable predictor of children's preschool adjustment. These study results imply that children's ego-resilience is strongly influenced by children's preschool adjustment.

본 연구는 어머니의 양육효능감과 유아의 자아탄력성이 유아의 교육기관적응에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구 대상은 A시 소재 7개 어린이집에 재원중인 만 3,4,5세 유아 162명의 어머니와 담임교사이며, 자료수집기간은 2016년 6월 1일부터 6월 30일까지였다. 연구도구는 어머니의 양육효능감, 유아의 자아탄력성, 유아의 교육기관적응에 대한 총 73개 문항이었으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS(window용) 22.0 통계프로그램을 사용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, Pearson's correlation coefficient 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 양육효능감은 유아의 교육기관적응과 약한 정적(+) 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 유아의 자아탄력성과 교육기관적응은 전체 및 모든 하부요인에서 유의한 정적(+) 상관관계를 나타냈다. 셋째, 어머니의 양육효능감은 유아의 자아탄력성, 유아의 교육기관적응과 약한 정적(+) 상관관계를 보였으며, 유아의 자아탄력성은 유아의 교육기관적응과 강한 정적(+) 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구는 어머니의 양육효능감과 유아의 자아탄력성 및 유아의 유아교육기관 적응력이 서로 정적(+) 상관관계가 나타났는데, 특히 유아의 자아탄력성이 유아의 유아교육기관적응과 강한 예측 변인으로 나타나 유아의 유아교육기관적응력 증진에 유아의 자아탄력성이 영향을 끼친다 할 수 있다.
