This study examined the relationships between teacher variables that improve the efficacy of the play teaching of infants and toddlers following a play-oriented curriculum. The participants were 287 infant teachers. The results were as follows. First, the independent variables had a significant effect on the efficacy of play teaching, teacher-infant interaction, and classroom environment. Second, the mediating effects of teacher-infant interaction and classroom environment on the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching were as follows. The interaction mediating effect between professionalism and play belief was significant, but teaching creativity was found to be significant. In the mediating effect of the classroom environment, expertise, play belief, and teaching creativity were found to be significant. Third, both teacher-infant interaction and the multimedia effect of the classroom environment were statistically significant in mediating the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching. These results provide basic data on the necessity for teacher education to explore ways to improve teachers' sense of efficacy in teaching play and their teaching skills.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of the parent-teacher trust relationship and cooperative behavior in the relationship between the emotional intelligence of infant teachers and their play teaching efficacy. Methods: A total number of 216 teachers in charge of infants under the age of two at childcare centers located in H, Y, and O cities in Gyeonggi-do participated in the survey. Using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 22, descriptive statistics, correlation and structural equation model were analyzed. Results: First, the emotional intelligence of infant teachers had a direct effect on play teaching efficacy. Second, the emotional intelligence of infant teachers influenced play teaching efficacy through parent-teacher's trust relationship. Third, the emotional intelligence of infant teachers influenced play teaching efficacy through parent-teacher cooperative behavior. Fourthly, it was found that the parent-teacher trust relationship and cooperative behavior were mediated sequentially in the influence of the emotional intelligence of infant teachers on play teaching efficacy. Conclusion/Implications: The results of this study emphasize the importance of improving the emotional intelligence of teachers and the trust and cooperation between parents and teachers in order to increase the ability of early childhood teacher's play teaching efficacy.

The collected data were analyzed using simple regression and hierarchical multiple regression. The main results of this study were as follows. First, teachers' playfulness had a positive influence on their positive play beliefs. Second, teachers' playfulness had a positive influence on their teaching efficacy on play. Finally, effect of teachers' playfulness on their teaching efficacy on children's play was totally mediated by their positive play beliefs.

This study examines the mediation effect of teacher-child interactions in the process of the impact of teacher's teaching-efficacy on childhood education institutions and classroom environment on peer-play interactions. We used data from 970 children aged between 49 and 55 months and 970 homeroom teachers from the fifth Korean Child Panel (2012) of the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. The model fitness was excellent after data were statistically analyzed with model of structure to testify the relationship and effect among teaching efficacy, classroom environment, teacher-child interactions, and peer-play interactions. First, the analysis also showed that the teacher's teaching efficacy did not influence peer-play interactions directly, but gave an indirect effect on the peer-play interactions with the mediation of the teacher-child interactions. Second, the classroom environment directly and indirectly influenced the peer-play interactions with the mediation of the teacher-child interactions. Third, the variable of teacher-child interactions was fully effective as a mediating variable in the process of the teaching efficacy and classroom environment influence on teacher-child interactions. Teaching efficacy and classroom environment influenced the peer-play interactions through the mediation of the teacher-child interactions. The significance of mediation effect of the teacher-child interactions was verified through a bootstrapping method.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the mediating effects of play teaching efficacy in the relationship between the organizational health of teacher workplaces and the creative personality of the teachers. Methods: The Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and one-way ANOVA were conducted for data analysis using SPSS 25.0. For mediating analysis, Baron & Kenny's (1986) multiple regression analysis using SPSS 25.0 and the Sobel test were also implemented. Results: There were significant differences in the organizational health of the workplaces according to age, years of working experience, type of workplace, and daily working hours. For play teaching efficacy, there were significant differences according to age, education level, years of working experience, type of workplace, and daily working hours of the teacher. On the other hand, significant differences were found in terms of age and education level in relation to the teacher having a creative personality. Play teaching efficacy was found to have a full mediation effect on the relationship between the organizational health of the workplace and the creative personality of the teacher. Conclusion/Implications: The organizational health of the workplace and play teaching efficacy should be improved in order to enhance the creative personality of teachers in early childhood education.

Subjects were two teachers each with higher or with lower play teaching efficacy, and the 111 four and five-year-old children they taught. Using naturalistic observation, children's constructive play was videotaped and transcribed for 60 minutes on ten consecutive days in each classroom. Play was analyzed by level of constructive play, continuous length of play, variety of materials, enrichment of activities, and coherence of content. Constructive play of children whose teachers had higher efficacy in teaching play showed longer continuous play, used a higher variety of materials, and their play had more creative integrity. Five-year-olds exhibited longer continuous play, used a larger variety of play materials, more enrichment of play activity, and more coherence in play contents than four-year-olds.

이 연구는 놀이가 영유아의 발달과 학습에서 차지하는 의미와 중요성에 비추어볼 때 교사의 문제행동지도를 놀이지도와의 관련성속에서 탐색해보는 것이 필요하다는 문제의식에 기초하여 교사의 놀이성, 놀이신념, 놀이교수효능감과 문제행동지도과의 관계를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울시와 충청남도에 근무하는 어린이집 교사 151명을 대상으로 교사의 놀이성과 문제행동지도전략, 놀이신념과 문제행동지도전략의 관계를 살펴보고, 이들 관계에 놀이교수효능감이 매개역할을 하는지 알아보았다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교사 놀이성은 예방적 문제행동지도전략과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략에 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 놀이신념은 예방적 문제행동지도전략과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략에 정적 영향을 미쳤고, 부정적 문제행동지도전략에는 부적 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째 교사의 놀이성과 놀이신념은 매개변인인 놀이교수효능감에 정적 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 교사의 놀이교수 효능감은 놀이성과 예방적 문제행동지도전략 간의 관계, 놀이성과 긍정적 반응 문제행동지도전략 간의 관계를 매개하였다.

본 연구는 보육교사의 경력, 소진, 놀이교수효능감이 직무만족에 미치는 상대적 영향력을 알아보고자 서울 및 경기도에 위치한 직장어린이집에 재직 중인 교사 201명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째 1년차 보육교사들이 5~7년차와 8년차 이상의 보육교사들보다 놀이교수효능감은 유의하게 더 낮고 5~7년차 교사들에 비해 직무만족도는 유의하게 더 높았다. 둘째, 보육교사의 경력과 놀이교수효능감, 놀이교수효능감과 직무만족 간에는 유의한 정적 상관이 나타났으며, 교사 경력과 성취감 상실로 인한 소진, 소진과 놀이교수효능감, 소진과 직무만족 간에는 유의한 부적 상관이 나타났다. 셋째, 직무만족의 하위영역별로 차이는 있었으나 대체로 소진, 놀이교수효능감, 교사 경력이 보육교사의 직무만족을 예측하여, 소진 경험이 적고 교사 경력이 낮을수록 그리고 놀이교수효능감이 높을수록 보육교사의 직무만족이 높았다. 이러한 결과는 보육교사의 직무만족을 높이기 위해 교사 경력에 따른 차별화된 접근과, 교사의 소진 경험을 줄여주는 것 외에도 보육일과의 특성상 놀이교수효능감을 높이는 방안을 고려해야 함을 시사한다.
