Abstract

This study constructs independent potential variables that are variables expected to affect child abuse reporting intention of child care teachers. In addition, this study establishes a research model based on the relationships between potential variables according to the results of previous studies and planning behavior theory. The purpose of this study was to examine what factors affect and how reporting intention is determined. The subjects of this study included a convenience sample of nursery teachers working in 67 daycare centers in the C region. The following results were obtained. First, the research model proposed in this study was found to be a suitable model to explain the child abuse teacher's intention to report child abuse through the analysis of the measurement and structural models. Second, the child abuse teacher's knowledge of child abuse is an important factor explaining the reporting intention and has an indirect effect through the mediation. Third, attitudes toward reporting of child care teachers were found to be the most direct factor that predicts reporting intentions. Fourth, subjective norms and reporting intentions of child care teachers were not statistically significant. Bsead on these results, basic data for improving child abuse reporting rate of childcare teachers were presented.

본 연구는 보육교사의 아동학대 신고의도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 변수들을 중심으로 독립잠재변인을 구성하고 계획행동이론에 기초하여 잠재변인들 간의 관계구조로 연구모형을 설정하여 어떠한 요인이 영향을 미치고 신고의도가 어떠한 경로로 결정되는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 C지역의 67개 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사를 대상으로 편의표집 하였으며, 235명을 연구 대상으로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 본 연구에서 제안한 연구모형은 측정모형 분석과 구조모형 분석을 통해 보육교사의 아동학대 신고의도를 설명하기에 적합한 모델인 것으로 확인 되었다. 둘째, 보육교사의 아동학대 지식은 신고의도를 설명하는 중요한 요인이며, 신고의도에 직접적인 연향을 미치고, 태도를 매개로 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 보육교사의 신고에 관한 태도는 신고의도를 가장 강하게 예측할 수 있는 직접적인 요인인 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 보육교사의 주관적 규범과 신고 의도는 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 보육교사의 지각된 행동통제는 신고의도에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 보육교사의 아동학대 신고율 향상을 위한 기초 자료를 제시하였다.
