This research aimed to understand the current status of early childhood education and to develop a future direction of early childhood English education. One group interview and three private interviews were conducted with 10 early education teachers to obtain in-depth understanding of the problems inherent in English education. The findings show that there is an internal conflict in the teachers regarding the value of English education in early childhood. In addition, there are external conflicts with the children the parents, the English teacher, the program director, and the government in English education. It is concluded that the early childhood educators felt an internal conflict regarding the current, inappropriate execution of early English education which is lacking a suitable educational plan including goals and practices. Furthermore, the teacher's preference for English also contributed to the internal conflict regarding the belief in early childhood English education. Secondly, the external conflicts included: English teachers with inadequate understanding of comprehensive early childhood development, parents who show excessive interest in early childhood English education without regard to childhood development, the reality that early childhood English education is mostly influenced by the attitudes of the program director without regard for the conflicts experienced by the early childhood teacher, and the politics of the government continuing to ignore the reality that early childhood English education ontinues in practice without being included in the national curriculum.

본 연구에서는 유아교육의 메이커 교육 적용 가능성을 탐색하기 위해 메이커 교육에 대한 교사의 인식을 알아보고 메이커 교육에 대한 교사 교육 과정 구성 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 유아교사를 대상으로 메이커 교육 인식에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였고 자료 분석 결과 메이커 교육에 대한 개념 및 의미와 교육환경에 대한 인식은 낮게 나타난 반면 메이커 교육의 효과, 중요성, 가치, 지속적 적용과 발전가능성은 높게 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타나 메이커 교사교육과 교육환경 구성의 필요성이 제시되었다. 조사결과를 기초로 교사 교육과정 구성안은 크게 기본과정과 심화과정으로 분류하였다. 기본과정에는 메이커 교육과 메이커 스페이스의 개념 및 의미 등에 대한 기반 내용을 포함시켜 인식과 이해를 높이고자 하였으며 심화과정에서는 다양한 도구, 재료 및 디지털 매체 활용방법과 메이커 교육 수행 방법 및 평가에 대한 내용을 포함하여 메이커 교육활용 능력을 양성하고자 하였다. 메이커 교육을 위한 교사 교육과정 구성안은 향후 교사교육 프로그램을 개발하고 교사들의 디지털 수업역량을 강화하는데 기본방향을 제안해 줄 수 있다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating effect of reflective thinking in the relationship between early childhood teachers' play-based curriculum implementation competences and their digital competences. Methods: An online survey was conducted targeting 330 early childhood teachers. Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and The Process macro model 4 were performed using SPSS 28.0 and The Process macro 4.1. Results: The main results of this study are outlined as follows: first, a significant positive correlation was observed between overall play-based curriculum implementation competences, reflective thinking, and digital competences, including each of their respective sub-factors. Second, the study revealed that reflective thinking played a partial mediating role in the relationship between early childhood teachers' play-based curriculum implementation competences and digital competences. Conclusion/Implications: Through this study, it was confirmed that when reflective thinking mediated play-based curriculum implementation competences, digital competences were further increased. The findings suggest that not only positive play-based curriculum implementation competences of teachers but also reflective thinking should be considered to enhance digital competences.

문화예술교육은 유아의 전인적 발달을 도와 언어능력과 창의적인 사고력을 증진시키고 정서지능을 함양시킬 뿐만아니라 다양한 시각으로 사물을 바라보고 다양한 문화를 이해할 수 있게 하는데 많은 효과가 있었음이 검증되면서 최근에 문화예술교육의 관심은 유아기 예술경험의 중요성과 더불어 예술능력발달에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 수준 높은 문화예술교육은 폭넓은 문화예술의 소양과 감각을 지닌 교사와 문화예술전문가의 긴밀한 협력을 바탕으로 정규수업에서 통합적인 영역을 다루는 것이 가장 바람직 한 일이다. 그러므로 유아교사 양성에 있어서 강화된 문화예술교육을 포함하는 것은 유아문화예술교육의 중요성으로 볼 때 매우 필요한 일이 아닐 수 없다. 4년제 대학의 교과과정 분석으로 예비유아교사 양성교육기관에서 유아교사의 문화예술 전문성을 높일 수 있는 교과과정의 개선과 특성화 방안을 제안해 보면, 유아교사의 문화예술역량 향상을 위해 문화예술능력의 기준과 이수교과목을 제도적으로 규정하고 문화예술전문가에 의한 교육으로 문화예술교과의 확대와 통합교과목을 개발하는 것이 필요하다. 현대사회가 지향하는 인재양성을 위하여 문화예술교육은 유아기 때부터 지속적으로 이루어질 때 그 효력이 발생할 수 있으며 유아문화예술교육은 유아의 예술적 체험을 통한 전인적인 인격형성이 목적이기에 유아교사의 양성과정에서 제도적으로 문화예술교육을 강화하고 문화예술영역에 소양과 감각을 기를 수 있는 체험교육이 이루어져야 한다. 향 후 각 유아교사 양성기관에서는 예술문화의 수용력과 해득력을 높일 수 있는 진정한 문화예술교육이 이루어지도록 폭넓은 문화예술교과의 연계와, 융합 등에 대한 개선적인 연구가 절실히 필요한 것이다.

본 연구는 유아교사의 누리과정 구성과 5개 영역의 세부내용에 대한 인식 및 실행 간의 차이를 알아보고자 부산광역시에 소재한 유치원, 어린이집의 누리과정 담임교사 318명을 대상으로 조사연구를 실시하였다. 연구도구는 "3~5세 연령별 누리과정" 해설서와 교사용 지침서를 기초로 제작한 설문지를 사용하여, PASW 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 신뢰도 검증, 대응표본 t-검증을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 자료 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유아교사의 누리과정에 대한 인식 및 실행의 경향성은 모두 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 유아교사의 누리과정에 대한 인식 및 실행 간의 차이는 누리과정 구성 및 5개 영역의 모두에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났으며, 유아교사의 누리과정에 대한 인식의 경향성이 실행의 경향성 보다 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 누리과정을 실천하는 유아교사들의 교사연수 방향이 5개 영역별로 좀 더 다양하게 지원되어져야 한다는 점을 시사한다.
