Results: The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a significant difference in childcare efficacy depending on the age and career of the childcare teacher. Second, the childcare environment of the childcare center showed a static correlation with the childcare efficacy of the childcare teacher in both the physical environment and the work support environment. Third, the physical environment of the day care center had an affect on child care efficacy. Among the subfactors, furniture for routine care, play and learning had a significant impact. Fourth, the work support environment of the childcare center had an affect on childcare efficacy of the childcare teacher.

본 연구는 보육교사의 이직의도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 개인 내적 변인인 직무만족도와 환경 변인인 전문성 지원환경의 영향력을 살펴보는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 S, I, G 지역의 보육교사 625명(국·공립 어린이집 교사 343명, 민간·가정 어린이집 교사 282명)이며, 연구도구로는 Ro가 제작한 TJSQ, Williams가 제작한 PLEI, Allen과 Meyer가 개발한 척도를 사용하였다. 자료분석을 위해 SPSS 21.0을 프로그램을 이용하여 차이검증, Pearson 상관관계와 중다회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 민간·가정 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사의 이직의도가 국·공립 어린이집의 보육교사보다 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 국·공립과 민간·가정 어린이집의 보육교사 모두 직무만족도와 전문성 지원환경이 낮다고 지각할수록 이직의도는 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 직무만족도와 전문성 지원환경은 이직의도를 설명하는 주요 변인으로 밝혀졌으며, 전문성 지원환경의 영향력이 더 높게 나타났다. 본 연구는 보육교사의 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 밝혀 이직의도를 감소시킬 수 있는 방안을 찾음으로써 궁극적으로 보육의 질적 수준 향상을 꾀하고자 하는 데 의의가 있다.

보육공간환경은 영유아의 성장과 발달에 큰 영향을 미친다. 영유아의 건강과 안전을 고려한 쾌적한 공간환경을 구축하는 것이 큰 사회적 과제로 여겨지고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 국내외 가이드라인의 보육공간환경을 비교 분석하여, 보육환경의 쾌적함과 지속가능성을 보완할 수 있는 가이드라인을 제안하였다. 유니버설 디자인을 비롯하여 영유아의 스케일을 고려한 치수 기준, 온도, 환기, 조명 등의 환경기준, 가구와 마감재의 친환경성 등에 대한 제안이 추가된 통합 가이드라인을 도출하였다.

This study aims to analyze what factors are associated with child care accreditation in Chungbuk province. This study examined three questions about which factors influence the accreditation of childcare centers: 1) if they passed the accreditation criteria, 2) the total score on the accreditation criteria, and 3) the domain scores for the six domains of environment, management, process, interaction and teaching, health and nutrition, and safety. The characteristics of 1,212 childcare centers, the independent variables, were commit management, type, specialized service, maximum capacity of children, registration ratio, target age groups of children, duration, and city size. The formal expert committee evaluated objective scores for 952 childcare centers. I derived the data for this study from the i-sarang Childcare Information Portal site (http://info.childcare. go.kr/). Frequency, descriptive statistics, binary logit model, and OLS model analysis were used to examine the accreditation and scores by factors of childcare centers. The findings of the present study are as follows. First, about 80% of the 1,212 childcare centers in Chungbuk province were accredited. Second, the accreditation of the child care center was affected by the specialized service, registration ratio, and duration. Finally, the total score of accredited childcare centers was associated with the maximum capacity of children, registration ratio, and duration. The factors of childcare centers influencing sub-area scores were different by environment, interaction and teaching, health and nutrition, and safety. The present study is important because it offers preliminary data identifying accreditation characteristics that can judge problems related to the quality of service of childcare centers and suggest childcare policy implications.

본 연구는 보육시설의 물리적인 환경 및 교사의 창의적인 역할수행과 유아창의성간의 관계에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해, 유아 182명을 대상으로 Torrance(1981)가 개발한 창의적 사고 검사인 TCAM(Thinking Creativity in Action and Movement)을 실시하여 창의성을 측정하였다. 또한 해당 어린이집 담임교사 28명을 대상으로 보육시설의 물리적 환경 및 교사의 창의적 역할수행에 관한 질문지 조사를 실시하였다. 그에 따른 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유아의 성별에 따른 유아의 창의성은 유의미한 차이가 없었으나, 유아의 연령에 따른 유아의 창의성은 창의성의 하위영역인 상상력에서 연령이 증가함에 따라 상상력이 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 물리적 환경의 질적 수준이 높을수록 유아의 창의성이 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 교사가 창의적인 역할을 유아에게 적극적으로 수행할수록 유아의 창의성은 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 보육시설의 물리적 환경 및 교사의 창의적 역할수행은 유아의 창의성과 유의미한 정적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 보육시설의 물리적 환경 및 교사의 창의적 역할수행은 유아의 창의성에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 보육시설의 물리적 환경의 질적 수준이 높고, 교사가 유아에게 창의적인 역할을 수행하기 위해 노력할수록 유아의 창의성이 더욱 성장하고 발달할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.
