Abstract

The study objective was to understand the effects of self-efficacy and occupational value on the major satisfaction of pre-service childcare teachers. A questionnaire survey was conducted targeting 281 pre-service childcare teachers in A city. In the study results, first, pre-service childcare teachers highly perceived the self-regulatory efficacy and confidence of self-efficacy, the intrinsic value of occupational value, and the general satisfaction and perception satisfaction of major satisfaction. Second, there were statistically significant correlations between self-efficacy, occupational value, and major satisfaction of pre-service childcare teachers. Third, the self-efficacy and occupational value of pre-service childcare teachers had positive effects on the major satisfaction. Based on these study results, there should be more diverse research for the formation of proper self-efficacy and correct occupational value, so that students majoring in childcare could perceive the importance of major satisfaction and also perform their childcare jobs with high-quality.

이 연구의 목적은 보육전공 학생들의 자기효능감과 직업가치가 전공만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 A시에 소재한 예비보육교사 281명을 대상으로 질문지를 사용하여 실시하였다. 자료처리 및 분석은 SPSS 통계패키지 프로그램을 활용하여 일반적 특성을 알아보기 위해 빈도분석 실시하였으며 변인별 인식수준을 알아보기 위하여 평균과 표준편차를 구하였다. 또한, 신뢰도 검증을 위하여 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$를 산출하였고, 각 변인간의 관련성을 알아보기 위해 상관관계분석과 단계적 회귀분석 방법을 활용하였다. 연구결과에 대하여 첫째, 보육전공 학생들이 지각한 자기효능감에서는 자기조절효능감과 자신감이, 직업가치에서는 내적가치가, 전공만족도에서는 일반만족과 인식만족애서 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 보육전공 학생들의 자기효능감, 직업가치, 전공만족도에서 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 보육전공 학생들의 자기효능감과 직업가치가 전공만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과로 볼 때, 보육전공 학생들의 전공만족도에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 질 높은 보육직무를 수행할 수 있도록 적절한 자기효능감과 올바른 직업가치가 형성될 수 있도록 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
