This study explored the feasibility of various applications of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) by examining the relationship between teachers' belief in DAP and their creative roles. Subjects were 203 teachers of public, private, national, and corporate day care centers in Pusan. Data analysis was by ANOVA. Results showed that with the exception of fluency, teacher's degree of belief in DAP correlated with differences in all the sub-categories of creative roles, including indulgence and perseverance, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Conclusions were that teachers could enhance their creative roles through inclusion of DAP in teacher education.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between teachers' beliefs and instructional activities in regards to the DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice) of Korean and Chinese early childhood teachers. A number of both teacher variables and classroom environment variables were also examined. One hundred and ninety three Korean early childhood teachers and 385 Chinese early childhood teachers responded to the TeacherQuestionnaireas issued. The results of this study were as follows. First, Korean early childhood teachers showed higher scores in terms of teachers' beliefs about DAP than DIP (Developmentally Inappropriate Practice). Chinese early childhood teachers showed higher scores for teachers' beliefs about DIP. Second, Korean teachers' scores in terms of instructional activities for DAP showed differences depending on the degree of teaching experience and the teachers' age, and the scores for instructional activities related to DIP did not show any differences in any of the teacher variables. On the other hand, Chinese teachers exhibited different scores for the instructional activities for both DAP and DIP, again depending on the amount of teaching experience, the teachers' ages, and the ages of the children they taught. Third, a relationship between teachers' beliefs and instructional activities for DAP was found to be in evidence in Korea, but not in China.

본 연구는 보육교사의 발달에 적합한 실제(DAP)에 대한 신념 및 교사효능감이 갈등해결태도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 인천지역 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사 128명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 상관분석, 다변량 분산분석, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석되었다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사회인구학적 변인 가운데 연령에 따른 차이만 유의미하게 나타났는데, 20대 교사가 30대 이상 교사보다 DAP신념, 협력형 갈등해결 수준이 높고 회피형 갈등해결 수준은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 보육교사의 DAP신념과 교사효능감은 협력형 갈등해결과 정적 상관이 있는 반면에, 회피형 및 경쟁형 갈등해결 수준과는 부적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 보육교사의 DAP신념 및 교사효능감은 사회인구학적 변인을 통제한 이후에도 갈등해결태도에 영향을 미쳐, DAP신념과 교사효능감 수준이 높을수록 협력형 갈등해결을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 유아의 사회성 발달을 위한 적절한 교육이 이루어지기 위해 교사의 신념 및 교수전략에 대한 교사교육의 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
