Preschool teachers' relationships at workplace is an important component that affects the work performance of caring and educating young children. This study investigated the connection between preschool teachers' personality traits and their relationships at workplace. The participants were two hundred and eighty two teachers in 55 preschools and asked to answer the survey questionnaires. Two research questions were investigated; (1) are there correlations between preschool teachers' personality traits and their relationships at workplace? (2) do preschool teachers' personality traits affect their relationships at workplace? The results showed that preschool teachers' personality traits were correlated with their relationships at workplace; neuroticism showed a negative correlation while the other four (extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) showed positive correlations with relationships at workplace. In addition, preschool teachers' personality traits had effects on their relationships at workplace in overall.

Objective: This study investigated the relationship between preschool teachers' creativity, teaching efficacy, and creativity-fostering teaching and examined the mediating effect of teaching efficacy. Methods: A total of 202 preschool teachers participated in this study. The Creative Behavior Inventory (CBI), Teaching Efficacy Scale, and the Creativity-Fostering Teacher Behavior Index (CFTI) were used for the survey. A hypothesized model and alternative model were tested using structural equation modeling. Collected data were analyzed using 18.0 PSAW and AMOS. Results: The results showed that preschool teachers' creativity was positively associated with their teaching efficacy and creativity fostering teaching. Preschool teacher's teaching efficacy positively related to their creativity fostering teaching. Preschool teachers' creativity had a significant positive direct effect on creativity-fostering teaching and also an indirect effect on creativity-fostering teaching via teaching efficacy. Conclusion/Implications: Implications to foster creativity in preschool and kindergarten are discussed, highlighting the necessity for teacher education to promote teaching efficacy as well as teacher's creativity and creativity-related activities.

Background: Within the framework of the new Saudi Vision 2030, the education system is keen on developing Early Childhood (EC) curricula to meet the needs of children from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, in addition to preparing teachers to be the main driving forces in this field. To achieve these strategic goals, the professional development of teachers has taken the lead in terms of their continuous professional achievements. Purpose: The recent study tended to explore the promotion of Cultural and Linguistic Competence (CLC) of teachers in preschool institutions in different sectors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) include public, private and international. Method: In the current study, (n=300) of preschool female teachers, who had experience teaching children from diverse language and cultural backgrounds, participated voluntarily by filling out the exploratory questionnaire. It was designed on a five-point Likert scale. The credibility of the scale and the validity of the questionnaire were ascertained, and the content for which it was designed verified in terms of the purposes of the current investigation. Results: The results revealed that preschool female teachers in the private preschool settings have a higher level of CLC compared to those who were teaching in public and international preschools in KSA. In the private sector, preschool female teachers showed create abilities to provide culturally responsive environments for diverse students, applying various communication styles, and showing proper attitudes and values toward diversity. Implication: The current study provided key implications for policy makers regarding the promotion of CLC for all teachers, particularly preschool in government settings in KSA. It contributed to revealing the cultural awareness of preschool teachers' values and attitudes toward diversity.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between preschool teachers' multiple intelligence and their teaching and learning plans. For this purpose, multiple intelligences test(K-MIDAS) was conducted on 80 teachers in kindergartens located in Seoul and Gyeongsangnam-do and they were asked to map out teaching and learning plans about topics. The data were analysed with descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation using SPSS PC program(16.0 version). Major findings were as follows: Teachers had the highest levels in interpersonal intelligence, followed by musical intelligence and linguistic intelligence; interpersonal intelligence and linguistic intelligence accounted for an especially high proportion of their teaching and learning plans. The higher a preschool teacher's physical activity intelligence, the greater the proportion of physical exercise, music, and logic and mathematics in their teaching plans. It was also found that preschool teachers with higher levels linguistic intelligence made more plans on self-understanding, whereas preschool teachers with higher levels of intelligence in the observation and investigation of nature made more plans on spatial area.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine what social behaviors are valued within Korean culture for children of preschool age. The sample consisted of 40 mothers of preschool children and 40 preschool teachers. Two instruments were used : an open-ended interview and the Preschool Behavior Q-sort(Baumrind, 1968). Korean mothers and preschool teachers emphasized social behaviors based on cultural values. However, social behaviors that Korean mothers and preschool teachers emphasized were not, for the most part, the expected behaviors about respect for authority or obedience. Rather, they valued considerateness, politeness, mastery behaviors that represent another aspect of traditional values.

This study was conducted to investigate the difference of perception about nutritional problems and food intakes and nutrition knowledge score and realities of nutrition education between parents and preschool teachers. This research can be summarized as follows: there was the statistical difference of perception (${\chi}^2$= 52.451, p = 0.000) about nutritional problem of preschoolers between parents and preschool teachers. Parents (56.4%) and teachers (58.5%) identified eating only what they want as the most common nutritional problem of children, but they had different perception about the other problems. To parents, "No nutritional problem" (16.3%) is the second and "Overindulgence of processed food" (11.1%) is the third problem of preschoolers. To teachers, "Overindulgence of processed food" (23.8%) is the second and "Obesity" (14.3%) is the third problem. The perception on food intakes of preschoolers was statistically different in meats (${\chi}^2$= 8.892, p = 0.030), fish (${\chi}^2$= 32.241, p = 0.000), beans (${\chi}^2$= 14.770, p = 0.005), vegetables (${\chi}^2$= 12.706, p = 0.013), fruits (${\chi}^2$= 14.438, p = 0.006) and milk & dairy products (${\chi}^2$= 28.591, p = 0.000) between parents and preschool teachers. However, nutritional knowledge was not different between parents and preschool teachers. While 96.6% of preschool teachers felt that it was necessary to educate preschoolers, only 41.5% of them said that they fulfilled nutrition education, showing that nutrition education was not adequately carried out on the spot. Therefore providing basic materials through which nutritional management guidance and proper nutrition education for preschoolers can be carried out by investigating and analyzing knowledge on their nutrition and meal guidance activities for preschooler teachers and parents.

본 연구는 유아교사의 동료장학과 교사발달을 위한 동료 평가 척도개발을 목적으로 실시되었다. 선행연구에서 유아교사 평가척도에 대한 연구는 많이 논의되어 왔으나, 평가자는 주로 원장 또는 상급자에 의해 일시적인 평가나 자기평가로 이뤄져왔다. 본 연구에서는 주변 동료교사를 통해 유아교사 평가가 이뤄질 수 있도록 문항을 개발하였다. 동료교사를 통한 평가는 교사의 지속적인 모습을 평가할 수 있기 때문에 교사에 대해 보다 세밀하게 평가가 이뤄질 수 있다는 점에서 장점이 있다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 51개 문항을 가지고 동료 평가를 실시하였는데, 9개 영역으로 분리하여 150명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 이를 위해 척도의 적절성(내용타당도, 구인타당도, 문항내적합치도)과 문항의 적절성(문항변별도)을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 동료 유아교사 평가 문항으로서 적절한 척도임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 유아 교사의 사회적 지지 및 마음 챙김이 직무 소진에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 데 있다. 연구대상은 OO시 유아 교사 138명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 분석방법은 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도 분석, 신뢰도 분석, 상관관계 분석을 실시하였으며, 변수 간의 인과관계에 대한 다중회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 유아 교사의 사회적 지지가 직무 소진에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 사회적 지지의 하위요인인 물질적 지지 요인은 직무 소진에 부적(-)으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아 교사의 마음 챙김이 직무 소진에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 마음 챙김의 하위요인인 탈 중심적 주의, 현재자각은 직무 소진에 부적(-)으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 유아 교사가 지각하는 사회적 지지의 물질적 지지 요인과 마음 챙김의 탈 중심적 주의, 현재자각이 높을수록 직무 소진이 낮아진다는 것을 의미하는 것이다. 본 연구의 시사점은 유아 교사의 직무 소진 감소를 위한 방안 마련의 기초자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.
