The goal of this research was to clarify how a child's maladjustment affects the teacher-child relationship and leads to teaching stress. Subjects were 178 teacher-child pairs in kindergartens or day care centers. The child was 3 to 5-years-old and perceived by its teacher as having maladjusted behavior. Teachers responded to the Index of Teaching Stress(Greene, Abidin, & Kmetz, 1997) and the Student-Teacher Relationships Scale(Pianta 1991). The maladjusted behaviors observed by teachers were correlated with each other. ADHD was the biggest problem perceived by teachers. Most fields of maladjusted children's behaviors caused stress to teachers except those of intellectual deficit and academic Problems. Frustration peaked during the teaching process. More severely maladjusted behaviors resulted in greater conflict in teacher-child relationships.

This study investigated the moderating effect of negative emotionality on the association between teacher-child intimacy and peer interaction based on a differential susceptibility model. The participants were 252 three-year-old children recruited from a day care center and preschool located in Incheon and Gyeonggi province. The teacher-child relationship was measured on a Student-Teacher Relationship Scale. This measure is a type of teacher's report with ratings based on a teacher's daily observations. This scale is composed of closeness items on the degree of warmth and open communication in teacher-child relationships. Peer interactions were measured with a Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale. This measure is composed of play interaction items, play disruption items and play disconnection. Negative emotionality was measured with Child Behavior Questionnaire. Teachers measured teacher-child intimacy and peer interaction scales. Parents reported children's negative emotionality. The research showed that negative emotionality moderated the association of teacher-child intimacy, play interaction, play isolation and play disruption. The magnitude of association between teacher-child intimacy and play disconnection as well as play interaction was greater for high levels of negative emotionality. Teacher-child intimacy was significantly associated with play disruption only for high levels of negative emotionality. The findings of this study support a differential susceptibility model.

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.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between student teachers' perceptions on cooperating teacher's professionalism and motivation to become a teacher. Methods: The participants were 399 student teachers studying child care and education at two-year or four-year colleges in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, South Chungcheong, and Daejeon. They completed questionnaires on student teachers' perceptions on cooperating teacher's professionalism and motivation to become a teacher. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, t-test, and partial-correlation analyses. Results: There were three findings from this study. First, there was a significant difference in student teachers' perceptions on cooperating teacher's professionalism depending on the type of child care center and education system, rather than the type of class. Second, there was a significant difference in student teachers' motivation to become a teacher depending on the students' education system. Third, student teachers' perceptions on their cooperating teacher's professionalism correlated with their motivation to become a teacher. Conclusion/Implications: This study suggests that student teachers' perceptions on cooperating teacher's professionalism is significantly different depending on the type of child care center or educational system and is related with motivation to become a teacher.

This study investigated the effects of multi-culture acceptability and multi-culture teaching efficacy on young child-teacher relationships. The teachers' attitude towards multi-culture education was included in the analysis as a mediator between multi-culture acceptability and multi-culture teaching efficacy. Participants were 295 teachers and 295 young children between 3 and 5 years in childcare centers located in Seoul, Incheon, Ulsan, Gyeonggi, and North Gyeongsang Province. Teachers completed questionnaires regarding multi-culture acceptability, multi-culture teaching efficacy, and attitude towards multi-culture education. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, Structural Equation Model, and Sobel test with SPSS ver. 18.0 and AMOS ver. 21.0. The results were as follows. First, the subscale of multi-culture acceptability and multi-culture teaching efficacy generally showed a positive correlation with closeness and conflict in the subscale of young child-teacher relationships. Second, teacher's multi-culture acceptability directly influenced the young child-teacher relationship. In addition, the impact of multi-culture teaching efficacy on young child-teacher relationship was mediated perfectly by the multi-culture education attitude. The results suggest that the multi-culture teaching efficacy promote early childhood multicultural education attitudes and that can be changed to positive teacher relationships.

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 논문에서는 보육교사의 자아개념과 교사 효능감의 두 변인간의 관계와 함께 보육교사의 자아개념 수준에 따른 교사 효능감의 차이를 확인하는데 그 목적이 있다. 서울시와 수도권의 어린이집 에서 보육교사 127명을 대상으로 자아개념검사와 교사효능감 검사를 각각 실시하였다. 회수된 자료는 spss 20.0 프로그램을 활용하여 상관관계와 t-test 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 보육교사의 자아개념은 인지적 자아, 정의적 자아, 사회적 자아, 신체적 자아 등 모든 하위요인에서 보육교사의 일반적 효능감, 개인적 효능감과 교사 효능감 전체 점수와 정적상관을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자아개념전체 및 각 하위요인의 수준이 높은 집단이 경우는 낮은 집단보다 보육교사의 일반적 효능감, 개인적 효능감, 교사 효능감이 더 의미있게 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과에 따라 보육교사의 자아개념 수준에 따라 교사 효능감의 수준도 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었으며 교육현장에서 교사의 자아개념과 자기 효능감을 높이기 위한 방안이 필요함을 시사한다.
