Abstract

This study investigated the effect of pre service teacher's empathic ability on teaching ethics, and child abuse report intention. The subjects were 168 pre-service teachers attending a university located in a micropolitan city. Questionnaires, which required self-reporting by pre service teacher, were used to investigate teacher's empathic ability, teaching ethics and child abuse report intention. The collected data were analyzed by frequency, percent, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis and stepwise-regression analysis. From the major study findings, first, pre-service teacher's empathic ability was positively correlated with teaching ethics and child abuse report intention. Pre-service teacher's "take perspective", "imagine" of the cognitive empathic ability's subfactor was positively correlated with teaching ethics. Especially, empathic interest was positively correlated with teaching ethics. Cognitive empathy ability showed the highest relationship with ethics for early child. Emotional empathy showed the highest relationship with ethics in society. Second, the pre-service teacher's teaching ethics were influenced by taking perspective, imagining, and empathic attention. These results demonstrate the need to incorporate perspectives in the development of programs to promote pre - service early childhood teacher ethics and child abuse reporting.

본 연구의 목적은 예비유아교사의 공감능력이 교직윤리 및 아동학대 신고의도에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 있다. 연구대상은 중소도시 I시 유아교육과 재학생 2학년과 3학년 학생으로 총 168명이다. 연구 검사도구는 예비유아교사의 공감능력, 교직윤리 및 아동학대 신고의무에 관한 설문지를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 연구대상의 pearson의 적률상관관계를 분석하고, 예비유아교사의 공감능력이 교직윤리와 아동학대 신고의도에 미치는 영향력을 알아보기 위해 단계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 예비유아교사의 공감능력과 교직윤리 전체와 관계가 있었다. 인지적 공감능력의 하위요인인 관점취하기와 상상하기는 교직윤리 전체와 정적상관이 나타났으며, 특히 공감적 관심과 정적인 관계가 나타났다. 인지적 공감은 영유아에 대한 윤리와 가장 높은 상관이 있었고, 정서적 공감은 사회에 대한 윤리와 정적상관이 가장 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 예비유아교사의 교직윤리에 미치는 공감능력의 하위요인은 관점취하기가 가장 높은 영향력을 지니고, 그 다음으로 상상하기가 영향을 미치고, 마지막으로 공감적 관심이 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 예비유아교사의 교직윤리 및 아동학대 신고의도 증진을 위한 프로그램 개발 시 인지적 공감능력의 하위요인인 관점취하기와 상상하기와 관련된 공감의 내용을 반드시 포함해야 할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 유아교육 현장에서 예비유아교사의 교직윤리 및 아동학대 신고의 증진에 대한 중요성을 인식시키는 계기가 되고 교직윤리와 아동학대 신고의도에 영향을 미치는 공감능력에 대한 인식을 제고하게 하였다는 점에서 연구의 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
