Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine early childhood teachers' importance and performance of technology leadership. A survey was conducted on 205 early childhood teachers. Borich's needs model was used to calculate their needs. In the area of director leadership and vision, the early childhood teachers felt the most need for opportunities to participate in conferences or training programs related to the educational utilization of technology. In the area of teaching-learning methods, they called the most for better ways to take advantage of technology considering the characteristics of the activity areas and activity types. In the area of teaching professionalism, the items they asked for the most were building confidence over the educational utilization of technology and case studies of superior teaching and learning. In the area of institutional support, they felt the most need for assistant human resources who could assist in solving possible problems using technology. In the area of evaluation, they called the most for the development of a variety of evaluation tools and methods. Finally, the item they called for the most in the area of social, ethical, and legal support from the institutions to which they belonged was the preparation of guidelines on how to be in good health in times of using technology.

본 논문은 테크놀로지 리더십에 대한 유아교사의 중요도와 실행도를 분석함으로써 개선 요구도를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 유아교사 205명(어린이집 교사 100명, 유치원 교사 105명)을 대상으로 테크놀로지 리더십에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였고 보리치(Borich) 공식을 사용하여 요구도를 산출하였다. 연구결과, 원장의 리더십 및 비전영역에서 유아 교사들은 테크놀로지의 교육적 활용과 관련된 학회나 연수 프로그램에 참여할 수 있는 기회 제공에 대한 개선 요구를 가장 높게 인식하였다. 교수-학습방법 영역에서는 활동 영역 및 유형별 특성을 고려한 테크놀로지 활용 방법에 대한 개선 요구도가 가장 높게 나타났고, 교사 전문성 영역 중 요구도가 가장 높은 항목은 테크놀로지의 교육적 활용에 대한 자신감 고취와 교수 학습 우수 실천 사례 연구였다. 기관 지원 영역에서는 테크놀로지 활용에서 문제 발생 시 보조인력 지원에 대한 개선요구가 가장 높게 나타났으며 평가영역에서는 다양한 평가도구 및 방식 개발이 가장 높은 요구도 수준을 보였다. 마지막으로 기관의 사회적 윤리적 법적 지원영역 중 가장 요구도가 높은 항목은 테크놀로지 활용 시 건강을 위한 지침 마련인 것으로 분석되었다.
