본 논문에서는 유아교육기관에서 유치원 교사들이 멀티미디어를 활용하는데 있어서 학습 능력 향상 및 소프트웨어 활용 기술을 향상시키기 위해 플립러닝을 진행하도록 한다. 이를 통해 최신 멀티미디어의 특성을 잘 활용한 교수자의 강의 보다는 플립러닝을 위한 참여자 위주의 수업을 진행한다. 새롭게 등장하는 멀티미디어 기술을 접해야 하는 과목의 특성과 창의적이고 융합적인 인재를 양성해야하는 유치원 교사의 역할을 접목하여 미래 사회를 이끄는 유아들에게 효율적인 학습이 이루어지도록 하는 데에 큰 의의를 둔다. 유치원 교사들은 멀티미디어를 활용한 교수매체 활용 능력을 향상시키는 것은 물론이고, 최신 미디어 기술을 수업에 적극 활용하여 4차 산업혁명 시대의 흐름에 맞는 교과과정을 운영하도록 한다, 따라서 본 연구는 유치원 교사들을 양성하는데 있어서 미디어 교육의 중요성을 알리고 이를 교과과정에서 운영할 수 있도록 플립러닝을 활용한 교육과정을 제시하고자 한다.
