Abstract

This study examined whether there are differences in health knowledge, health behavior, and health education teaching efficacy according to the general characteristics of pre-service early childhood teachers and analyzed the relationship between each variable to identify the factors affecting the teaching efficacy. For these, health knowledge, health behavior, and health education teaching efficacy were measured for 258 students enrolled in the department of early childhood education in colleges located in Chungnam and Jeonbuk. The collected data were subjected to a t-test, Welch variance analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS Win 21.0 according to the research problem. The results were as follows. First, there were significant differences in health knowledge, health behavior, and health education teaching efficacy, according to some of the general characteristics of the subjects. Second, while there was a significant positive correlation between the overall and subordinate variables of health behavior and teaching efficacy, there was a marginally significant correlation between health knowledge and teaching efficacy. The variable affecting health education teaching efficacy was the overall health behavior, and the explanatory power was approximately 30%. Suggestions for subsequent research were proposed based on the above research results.

본 연구는 예비유아교사의 일반적 특성에 따라 건강 지식과 건강 행위, 건강교육 교수효능감에 차이가 있는지를 살펴보고, 각 변인 간의 관계를 분석하여 교수효능감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 충남 지역과 전북 지역 소재 전문대학 유아교육과에 재학 중인 258명을 대상으로 건강 지식, 건강 행위, 건강교육 교수 효능감을 측정하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS Win 21.0을 이용하여 연구문제에 따라 t검정과 Welch 분산분석, 상관분석, 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 예비유아교사의 일반적 특성 중 일부 변인에 따라 건강 지식과 건강 행위, 건강교육 교수효능감에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 예비유아교사의 건강 행위와 건강교육 교수효능감 전체 및 하위변인 간에는 유의한 정적 상관이 나타난 반면, 건강 지식과 건강교육 교수효능감 간에는 유의한 정적 상관이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 건강교육 교수효능감에 영향을 미치는 변인은 건강 행위 전체였으며 설명력은 약 30%인 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과를 토대로 본 연구의 제한점과 후속 연구에 대한 제언을 제시하였다.
