Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of pre-service early childhood teachers' self-esteem on their health promotion behaviors. The participants were 230 pre-service early childhood teachers from Seoul and Gyeonggi-province. The data were analyzed using the SPSS version 22.0 program. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the self-esteem and health promotion behaviors of pre-service early childhood teachers were found to be above average. Secondly, there was a significant correlation between the self-esteem of pre-service early childhood teachers and their health promotion behaviors. Thirdly, the factors influencing the health promotion behaviors of pre-service early childhood teachers included self-esteem, academic grade, and satisfaction with their major, which together accounted for 28% of the variance. This study is significant as it empirically demonstrates that self-esteem is a crucial factor influencing the level of health promotion behaviors among pre-service early childhood teachers.

본 연구는 예비유아교사의 자아존중감과 건강증진행위의 간의 연관성을 파악하고 이들 행위에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하기 위해 실시된 서술적 조사연구이다. 이를 위해 서울과 경기도 소재 4년제 대학의 유아교육학과에 재학 중인 예비유아교사 230명에게 설문지를 배포하여 조사를 실시하였으며, 수집된 데이터를 분석하여 얻은 연구 결과를 요약하자면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 예비유아교사의 자아존중감과 건강증진행위는 보통 수준 이상으로 나타났다. 둘째, 예비유아교사의 자아존중감은 건강증진행위와 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 예비유아교사의 자아존중감, 학년, 전공 만족도는 건강증진행위에 28%의 설명력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 예비유아교사의 자아존중감이 건강증진행위 수준에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 요인임을 실증적으로 입증하였다는 점에서 의미를 찾을 수 있다.
