The Results of this Study are as Follows. First, the Lack of Leadership and Administrative Support Adversely Affects Teacher's Professionalism Awareness.

최근 유아교육기관에서 유아들이 보내는 시간이 증가함에 따라 유아교사의 질적 향상이 그 무엇보다 중요한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 유아교사의 전문성 인식과 직무스트레스가 교사와 유아 간 상호작용에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 연구대상은 어린이집과 유치원에 근무하는 유아 교사로 30개원 150명을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하였고, 총 134부의 설문지를 회수하여 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 유아교사의 전문성 인식과 직무스트레스 사이에서 원장의 지도력 및 행정적 지원 부족이 교사의 전문성 인식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 전문성 인식과 상호작용의 상관관계에서 언어적 상호작용과 행동적 상호작용이 정서적 상호작용의 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 유아교사의 전문성 인식과 직무스트레스가 정서적 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 전문성 인식의 여러 하위변인 중 직업윤리와 전문적 지식과 기술 요구의 변인이 긍정적인 영향을 주어 교사와 유아 간 상호작용의 정서적 언어적 행동적 상호작용의 모든 변인에서 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
