Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of motivation of choosing the teaching profession, teaching personality, grit on flourishing of pre-service early childhood teachers. The study was conducted with 112 pre-service early childhood teachers of a university in City H, Gyeonggi Province. Using multiple regression analysis, the study found that the motivation of choosing the teaching profession, teaching personality, and grit of pre-service early childhood teachers all had significant effects on flourishing. Among these variables, teaching personality had a relatively stronger impact compared to the other two variables. Furthermore, examining the impact of sub-factors of the motivation of choosing the teaching profession, teaching personality, and grit on flourishing revealed that active and passive motives for teaching, general personality, and consistent effort influenced the flourishing of pre-service early childhood teachers. This study provides foundational data for the development of programs aimed at enhancing the flourishing of pre-service early childhood teachers and suggests further research on the design and verification of a program to promote flourishing through the improvement of motivation of choosing the teaching profession, teaching personality, grit of pre-service early childhood teachers.

본 연구는 예비유아교사의 교직선택동기, 교직인성, 그릿이 행복플로리시에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 경기도 H시에 소재한 한 전문대학 유아교육과에 재학중인 112명의 예비유아교사를 대상으로 실시되었다. 중다회귀분석을 통해 각 변인이 행복플로리시에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 예비유아교사의 교직선택동기, 교직인성, 그릿은 행복플로리시에 모두 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 영향력의 크기는 교직인성이 나머지 두 변인에 비해 큰 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로, 교직선택동기, 교직인성, 그릿의 하위요인이 행복플로리시에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 능동적 동기 및 수동적 동기, 보편인성, 노력의 꾸준함 요인이 예비유아교사의 행복플로리시에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 예비유아교사의 행복플로리시 향상을 위한 프로그램 마련의 기초적 자료를 제공하였으며, 교직선택동기 및 인성, 그릿의 향상을 통한 행복플로리시 증진 프로그램 설계 및 이의 검증에 대한 후속 연구를 제안하였다.
