Abstract

This study investigated the effects of preschool teachers' ethical awareness and teaching flow on the teacher-preschooler interaction based on the participation of 345 preschool teachers in Chungcheongnam-do and Gyeonggi-do. The collected data were analyzed by correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. The results of the study were as follows: First, both teachers' ethical awareness and teaching flow were strongly correlated with the teacher-preschooler interaction, and the correlation between sub-variables was also significant. Second, analysis of the relative strength of teachers' ethical awareness and teaching flow in the explanation of the teacher-preschooler interaction revealed that intrinsic motivation as a sub-variable among teaching flow was the most prominent predictor of the teacher-preschooler interaction, followed by ethics for preschoolers among teachers' ethical awareness as well as specific plans among teaching flow. The findings of this study suggest future directions for teacher education based on newly identified factors affecting teacher-preschooler interactions, desirable teacher-preschooler interactions, and implications for improving childcare quality.

본 연구에서는 보육교사의 교직윤리의식과 교수몰입이 교사-영유아 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 경기도와 충남지역의 보육교사 345명을 대상으로 조사연구를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 Pearson 적률상관분석과 상대적 영향력을 알아보기 위해 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하여 분석하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 보육교사의 교직윤리의식 및 교수몰입과 교사-영유아 상호작용 간에는 유의미한 상관관계가 있었으며, 하위변인 간의 상관도 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 보육교사의 교직윤리의식이 높을수록, 교수활동 중 몰입경험이 많을수록 교사는 영유아와 바람직하고 긍정적인 상호작용을 많이 한다는 것을 의미한다. 둘째, 교사-영유아 상호작용에 미치는 교직윤리의식과 교수몰입의 상대적 영향력을 분석한 결과, 교수몰입의 하위변인인 내적동기, 교직윤리의식 중 영유아에 대한 윤리, 교수몰입 중 구체적 계획 순으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 교사-영유아 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 보육교사의 요인을 파악함으로써 현장에 필요한 교사교육의 방향을 제시하고 이를 통해 바람직한 교사-영유아 상호작용을 발달시키고 나아가 보육의 질적 향상을 위한 시사점을 제공한다.
