초록

본 연구는 유치원의 자유놀이 제한 규칙에 대한 교사의 인식을 알아봄으로써 유치원 자유놀이 운영을 위한 기초적인 정보를 얻을 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 J 지역에 근무하는 유치원 교사 200명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 시행하였다. 연구 도구는 학급 내 자유놀이에 대한 제한 규칙에 관한 교사의 인식을 묻는 설문지였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교사는 흥미영역 중 미술영역에 대한 제한 규칙의 필요성을 가장 높게 인식하였다. 둘째, 교사는 세 가지 유형의 제한 규칙 중 인원수 제한 규칙의 필요성을 가장 높게 인식하였다. 셋째, 제한 규칙의 필요 이유에 대한 교사 인식은 다음과 같았다. 인원수 제한 규칙 필요 이유는 일부 영역으로 쏠리는 현상을 예방하기 위해서였다. 시간 제한 규칙 필요 이유는 다양한 흥미영역에서 놀이하도록 지도하는 것이 교육적이라고 생각하기 때문이었다. 공간 제한 규칙 필요 이유는 각 흥미영역 고유의 교육목표를 확실히 할 수 있기 때문이었다. 유아의 놀이 권리와 연계하여 자유놀이 제한 규칙의 의미와 필요성을 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study is to gain basic information to manage the free choice activities of kindergarten by investigating the teachers' perception of restriction rules. The subjects of the study were 200 kindergarten teachers who worked in J province. The instrument used for this study was a questionnaire that focused on teachers' perception about the restriction rules for the free choice activities. The results of this study were as follows. First, the teachers considered restriction rules in the art center as the most important factor. Second, the teachers recognized that limiting the number of players in a same center is the most important thing among the three restriction rules. Third, the teachers' perception regarding the necessity of restriction rules is as follows. The rule of restricting the number of players is needed to prevent too many players focusing in a certain center. The rule of restricting play time is necessary to encourage children to play in various centers, and the rule of restricting play space is crucial to solidify the educational purpose that every interest center has. The meaning and the necessity of the restriction rules on children's free choice activities were further discussed as connected with children's right to play.
