Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderate effect of the physical environmental-level between infant teachers' positive play beliefs and teacher-infant interaction. Methods: The subjects of this study were 483 teachers in charge of one-year-old and two-year-old infants in child care centers located in metropolitan areas. The data were collected by asking the teachers to respond to a questionnaire and the data collected were analyzed through correlation and hierarchical multi- regression analysis. Results: First, the positive play beliefs of the infant teacher, the physical environment level, and the teacher-infant interaction showed significant proportional correlations. Second, the physical environment level moderated the influence of the teacher's positive play beliefs on teacher-infant interaction. In particular, results showed that functional interior space configuration, outdoor playground composition and facilities among the sub-variables of the physical environment level had a moderating effect. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study show that teachers with positive play beliefs have positive teacher-infant interaction when there is sufficient space available for infants and teachers. This indicates that the human and physical environments of child care centers can promote teacher-child interaction.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the mediated effect of teacher-infant relationships between teacher efficacy and infant's adjustment to child care centers. Methods: A total of 137 child care teachers that lived in Gwangju and Jeollanamdo participated in this study. They were asked to answer two survey questionnaires for two infants. The data were analyzed using analysis of frequency, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: The main results are as follows. First, teacher-infant relationships partially mediated the relationship between teacher efficacy and two sub-factors (prosocial behavior and day work adjustment) of adjustment in child care centers. Unlikely as it was, several sub-factors such as positive emotion, peer adaptation, and self-strength were fully mediated by teacher-infant relationships. Conclusion: The present study suggests that it is necessary to improve teacher-infant relationships with teacher efficacy in order to improve infants' adaptation to daycare. In addition, it should be understood that the structural relationship of the influence factors is different depending on the sub-factors of the child care adjustment.

본 연구의 목적은 영아반 보육교사의 교사효능감과 직무스트레스에 영향을 미치는 관련 배경 변인 분석을 통해 영아반 보육교사의 직무여건 개선 및 교사교육의 기초자료를 제공하기 위함이다. 이러한 목적을 위해 경상북도에 소재한 어린이집에 재직 중인 영아반 보육교사 488명을 대상으로 2013년 3월11일부터 29일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 영아반 보육교사의 교사효능감은 전반적으로 조금 높게 나타났으며, 일반효능감이 개인효능감보다 높게 나타났다. 교사효능감은 개인변인인 연령과 결혼여부에서, 근무여건 변인인 어린이집 유형, 평균근무시간, 월평균보수, 반 원아수에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 영아반 보육교사의 직무스트레스 역시 전반적으로 조금 높게 나타났으며, 직무스트레스는 경제, 학부모, 업무, 원아, 개인, 행정업무 순이며, 가장 낮은 요인은 동료스트레스로 나타났다. 직무스트레스는 개인변인 연령, 결혼여부, 경력, 이수한 연수회수에서, 근무여건 변인은 어린이집 유형, 평균근무시간, 반 원아수, 월평균보수에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 영아반 보육교사의 교사효능감 향상을 위해 영아반 보육교사의 직무여건 개선이 무엇보다 중요하다는 시사점을 얻을 수 있다.

본 연구는 어린이집 교사의 2019 개정 누리과정 놀이중심 교육 경험의 실제와 인식을 구체적으로 파악하여 유아교육 현장의 현실적 지원 정책을 마련하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 현 누리과정 교육 경험이 있는 서울 및 경기도 소재 어린이집 교사를 대상으로 개별 심층면담을 실시하였으며, 수집한 자료는 Hatch(2002)의 유형적 분석과 해석적 분석 그리고 Seidman(2006)의 면담 자료분석을 사용하여 시사점을 도출하였다. 본 연구 결과 첫째, 유치원과 어린이집은 동일한 통합 개정 누리과정을 적용하고 있지만, 어린이집은 보육적 관점과 안전을 더 고려한 교육을 지향하고 있다. 둘째, 교사들은 유아들이 주체가 되는 자기주도적인 열린 놀이활동 연계과정에서 교육적 매칭에 어려움이 존재하였다. 셋째, 교사들의 놀이활동에 대한 교육적 이해와 가치 파악 능력은 유아 상호작용 및 유대관계 성장에 기여한다. 결론적으로 현 누리과정의 효과적인 교육 시행을 위한 교사교육과 교류지원 그리고 유아비율 조정의 국가적 정책 방안이 시급하다.

Objective: This study examined the correlation between variables influencing teacher sensitivity to infant classes in Educare Center teachers and teacher sensitivity, by classifying their personal psychological, socio-psychological, and work environment variables. Furthermore, it aimed to inquire the extent to which these variables influence teacher sensitivity. Methods: The study included 236 Educare Center teachers in charge of infant classes working in infant-caring facilities. Based on stepwise multiple regression analysis, a significance test was conducted for each variable. Results: Firstly, according to the correlations regarding teacher sensitivity to infant classes, for sensitive interaction, emotional stability showed significant positive correlation, while there were significant negative correlations with relationships with the director, colleagues,and parents; mean working hours in other places; and mean daily personal time. For insensitive interaction, there were significant negative correlations with emotional stability and mean daily break time, while there were significant positive correlations with relationships with the director, colleagues, and parents. Secondly, regarding the influences on teacher sensitivity to infant classes, for sensitive interaction, the most significant influences consisted in the relationships with colleagues and parents. On the other hand, for insensitive interaction, the most significant influences were the relationship with colleagues and emotional stability. Conclusion: Reducing interpersonal relationship stress and increasing the emotional stability of Educare Center teachers will increase their sensitivity level. Furthermore, the quality of care will be improved.

본 연구는 영아 보육시설에서의 교사 직무만족도 및 영아 기질에 따라 교사-영아 관계가 차이가 있는가를 알아보고, 이를 통해 영아 보육에 관한 기초 자료를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 실시하였다. 연구대상은 충주지역의 27개 보육시설에서 영아반 교사 50명과 교사가 담당하는 영아 175명이었다. 연구결과는 첫째, 영아반 보육교사의 직무만족도는 교사의 연령과 근무하는 시설유형에서 부분적으로 차이가 나타났다. 원장과의 관계에 대한 직무만족도는 연령이 높은 교사가 연령이 낮은 교사들보다 더 높았고, 반면, 보수에 대한 만족도는 연령이 낮은 교사들이 높은 교사들보다 높게 나타났다. 영아 성별과 월령에 따른 영아 기질은 차이가 없었다. 교사-영아관계는 성별에 따른 차이가 있어서 여아가 남아의 경우보다 친밀한 관계를 유지하였으며, 어린 영아들이 교사와 더욱 의존적인 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 교사 직무만족도는 교사-영아 관계에서 친밀성과 의미 있는 차이가 있었다. 직무만족도가 높은 교사는 친밀한 교사-영아 관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 갈등과 의존성의 부정적인 교사-영아 관계는 교사의 직무만족도에 따라 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 셋째, 영아 기질에 따른 교사-영아 관계는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기질은 교사-영아 관계에 직접적인 영향을 주지는 않는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 보육교직원의 돌봄노동에 대한 Axel Honneth의 인정이론 관점, 헌법, 영유아보육법, 국가인권위원회법의 고찰을 통해 보육교직원의 사회적 인정 당위성을 규명하는 것이다. 연구결과 첫째, 보육교직원의 열악한 근무환경을 확인하였다. 보육교직원의 근무환경 개선을 위한 보육정책의 지속적인 개입에도 불구하고 여전히 저임금, 휴게시간 보장 등의 열악한 근무환경을 확인하였다. 둘째, 보육교직원의 인권침해를 확인하였다. 보육기관의 아동학대 예방을 위해 설치한 CCTV설치는 보육교직원의 인권훼손 뿐만 아니라 24시간 감시받는 보육교직원의 심리적 압박감을 초래하는 요인으로 확인되었다. CCTV 의무 설치는 보육서비스 질을 저하시키는 메카니즘으로 효과적인 개입의 필요성을 시사하였다. 셋째, 본 연구는 영유아 돌봄에 대한 적절한 업적평가를 위한 현행법 개정 및 보완을 통해 보육교직원의 사회적 인정 당위성을 제시하였다는 연구의 의의를 갖는다.
