본 논문에서는 예비유아교사를 위한 디지털교육(인공지능포함) 방안을 제시하며, 이에 맞는 교과목 설계 및 운영에 관한 연구입니다. 최근 4차 산업혁명시대를 맞아 교육부에서 유아교사 자격취득을 위한 세부기준을 발표했는데, 교직과목 중 교직소양영역에 디지털교육을 반드시 포함하도록 하였습니다. 이는 디지털교육의 중요성을 인식하고 교과 과정에 디지털 이해, 디지털 교과 융합교육, 디지털 활용 교육, 디지털윤리 등을 균형있게 학습하도록 하고 있다. 특히 유아교육분야는 유아교사로서 디지털 이해, 활용 및 소양 뿐 만 아니라 유아교육에서 디지털 교과 융합, 인공지능 교육 등을 학습시키는 방안 역시 중요하므로 본 교과목을 통해 미래사회를 주도하는 유아교육분야에 기여하는 바가 크다. 따라서 전문적이고 체계적으로 본 교과목을 설계 및 운영 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study aims to provide basic data for revitalizing creativity research related to early childhood teachers by analyzing creativity research related to early childhood teachers. For this study, 103 master's and doctoral dissertations in Korea, which were searched through the National Assembly Library and the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), were selected under the themes of 'early childhood teacher', 'creativity', and 'creativity research trends'. The frequency and percentage were calculated by analyzing creativity research related to early childhood teachers with five criteria: research period, research content, research method, research subject, and creativity factor. As a result of the study, first, as for the trends of creativity research related to early childhood teachers, 91 master's theses (88.3%) and 12 doctoral theses (11.7%) were conducted from 1991 to 2022, focusing on master's theses. Second, trends by research content were found in 20 basic studies (19.4%) and 83 practical studies (80.6%). Creativity research related to early childhood teachers is being actively conducted centering on practical research. Third, trends by research method showed 96 quantitative studies (93.2%), 7 qualitative studies (6.8%), and 0 literature studies (0%). Creativity studies related to early childhood teachers were being conducted with a focus on quantitative research. Fourth, the trend by research subject consisted of 100 studies (97.1%) related to early childhood teachers and 3 studies (2.9%) related to pre-service early childhood teachers. Fifth, trends by creativity factor were found in 56 studies (54.4%) related to teacher's variables and 47 studies (45.6%) related to creativity education methods. Studies related to teacher's variables were relatively higher than creativity education methods. As a result of this study, there is a lack of Christian education research in creativity research related to early childhood teachers, so it is expected that it will be done in the future.

The data of 966 4-year-old children and their parents and class teachers were extracted from the 5th Panel Study on Korean Children in 2012 by Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. The data were analyzed by means of ANOVA, Pearson's coefficient and multiple regression. The results were as follows: First, boys' play disruption and play disconnection were higher than girls', and girls' play interaction was higher than boys'. Second, sociability and activity of temperament, and teacher-child interaction were related to peer disruption. Third, teacher-child interaction and sociability of temperament significantly affected play interaction. Controlling parenting behavior of the mother was positively related to peer interaction in girls. Fourth, teacher-child interaction, sociability and emotionality of temperament significantly affected play disconnection. Social parenting behavior of the father was negatively related to play disconnection in boys. Lastly, teacher-child interaction was the clearest indicator for young children' peer interactions. These findings suggested a potential role of the teacher in young children's peer interactions.

Based on the collected data, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis are as follows. First, the higher the job stress of the kindergarten teacher, the lower the life satisfaction, and the higher the ego-resilience, the higher the life satisfaction. In particular, the reward, a sub-variable of job stress, had a significant negative correlation with the kindergarten teacher's ego-resilience and life satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal relationship among job stress, teaching efficacy belief, and organizational commitment for early childhood teachers. Besides, the current study examined the mediating effect of teaching efficacy belief on the relationship between job stress and organizational commitment. The data were gathered through the questionnaires from 500 kindergarten and nursery teachers who are located in D metropolitan city. Among them, the total of 426 subjects were used for analysis from recovered 442. The results indicated that job stress was negatively correlated with teaching efficacy belief and organizational commitment for early childhood teachers. Teaching efficacy belief significantly had a positive relation with organizational commitment. Moreover, teaching efficacy belief turned out to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between job stress and organizational commitment. This study has its significance in that it looked at the job stress as a predictor variable to explain the organizational commitment, the positive viewpoint by turning away from the early childhood teachers' burnout, and provided the potential for the environmental intervention by confirming the mediating effect of teaching efficacy belief.

This study aims to identify the effects of job factors related to children's teachers on job satisfaction and present suggestions through an analysis of the modulating effects according to the type of institute. In order to achieve this purpose, this study set up a cause and effect model on teacher's efficacy, emotional intelligence, friendship, and a reward system as factors of job satisfaction and analysed them based on interviews using a questionnaire. To look into the results of the analysis, it was discovered that a reward system had the greatest effect on job satisfaction for the subjects, followed by emotional intelligence, friendship, and teacher's efficacy. In an analysis of modulating effects according to the type of institute, the effect of emotional intelligence differed significantly depending on kindergartens and day care centers. Teacher's efficacy, friendship and a reward system were not significantly different. Based on the results above, this study provides basic data for the development of strategies for children's teachers to effectively achieve job satisfaction.
