This study compared student teachers' perceptions about teaching practices and the current state of practice teaching before and after practice teaching. Subjects were 96 students at three-year colleges in Suncheon, Jollanam-do. The survey used a questionnaire, 'kindergarten teachers' recognition of practice teaching and the current state of practice teaching,'(Woo and Choi 2004), revised for this research. Differences were observed in mean scores between before and after practice teaching(t=4.30, p<.001). In sub-areas, significant differences were observed in the role of student teachers, the contents of teaching, support system, evaluation and preliminary guidance(p<.001), but not in the evaluation of practice teaching and student teachers' attitudes(p>.05). This information should be beneficial for teachers' colleges in preparation of practice teaching programs.

This study compared the effects of open and directed teaching styles on creativity and mathematical achievement. The subjects were 32 three- and four-year-old children enrolled in the Home Economics Laboratory Nursery School at the University of Arkansas during the fall semester of 1987. In this study, the open teaching style was a child-oriented method of teaching with the help or guidance rather than the actual instruction of teacher, while the directed teaching style was a teacher-oriented method of teaching with actual instruction of the teacher. Forty-eight activities and materials relevant to mathematical concepts appropriately designed for the subjects were used. The nursery school children were divided into morning and afternoon groups. Utilizing a Latin square design, the children in the morning group were taught by the directed teaching style for four weeks followed by a three week period of no planned mathematical activities, then taught by the open teaching style for four weeks. The children in the afternoon group followed the same schedule except the open teaching style was first. At the end of the two four-week sessions of mathematics experiences Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement and selected items of Tests of Basic Experiences 2: Mathematics were administered. The scores of each of the two tests were analyzed using a t-test of dependent measures for the two teaching styles, the sex, and the age of the children. Children taught using the directed teaching style showed a significantly higher originality and mathematical achievement scores than those taught using the open teaching style. Differences for sex and age revealed that the directed teaching style was a significantly better method of instruction to foster the originality for boys and the mathematical achievement for four-year-old children.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of early childhood teachers' teaching beliefs, mathematics teaching efficacy, and pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics on their teaching intention of mathematics. Methods: A total of 266 early child teachers in Busan participated in this study. They completed a set of question naires which consisted of questions about teaching beliefs, mathematics teaching efficacy, pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics, and the teaching intention of mathematics. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Results: First, we observed several positive correlations among the four variables. Second, we found that early childhood teachers' constructive teaching beliefs, mathematics teaching efficacy, and pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics had effects on their teaching intention of mathematics. The knowledge about teaching-learning methods for mathematics among the subcategories of pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics was observed as the strongest predictor for the teachers' teaching intention. Conclusion: We need to take more interest in the pedagogical knowledge about teaching-learning methods of mathematics in teacher training courses in order to enhance teachers' teaching intention of mathematics. As a result, this will makea contribution to high quality math education for young children.

이 연구에서는 영유아교사의 수학적 태도와 수학교수효능감의 관계에서 조절효과를 가질 것으로 예상되는 변인으로 수학교과교육학지식을 선택하여 연구하였다. 영유아교사의 수학적 태도와 수학교수효능감의 관계에서 수학교과교육학지식의 조절효과를 알아보기 위해 수도권 및 강원도에 위치한 어린이집 및 유치원에 재직중인 교사 500명에게 질문지를 통한 연구를 실시하였다. 수학교수효능감의 측정을 위해 Luo(2000)의 도구를 정정희(2001a)가 수정, 번안한 영유아교사용 수학교수효능감 척도를 사용하였고, 수학적 태도의 측정을 위해 Smith(2000)의 도구를 번안하여 사용하였다. 수학교과교육학지식의 측정을 위해 홍희주(2012)가 개발한 수학교과교육학지식 측정도구를 표준보육과정 및 누리과정을 반영하여 수정하여 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS 21.0을 통해 중다회귀분석을 사용해 분석하였다. 연구결과, 영유아교사의 수학교과교육학지식은 수학적 태도와 수학교수효능감의 관계를 조절한다. 즉, 수학교과교육학지식 수준이 높을 경우 수학적 태도가 수학교수효능감에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 더 강화할 수 있다. 이 연구는 수학교과교육학지식이 조절효과를 가진다는 점을 밝혀 영유아교사의 수학교수효능감 향상을 위한 교사교육 프로그램에서 다루어져야 할 내용들에 대한 근거를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this article was to clarify the meaning of constructivist teaching and to improve methods related to constructivist teaching. As a theory of learning, constructivism is serving as the basis for many of the current reforms in education. Many educators, however, misconceive what constructivist teaching means. The application of Piagetian theory to early childhood education was reviewed and analyzed. This article provides the overarching principles of constructivist teaching in early childhood classrooms with emphasis on illumination of the misconception. It postulates that constructivist teachers find their own autonomously selected ways to integrate the principles of constructivist teaching.

The present research aimed to assess role expectations and job performance of childcare teaching assistants at daycare centers. In order to describe participants' experiences, qualitative data were analyzed using Van Manen's phenomenological approach. The findings showed that childcare teaching assistants suffered a gap between their role expectations and reality. They felt diverse emotions and doubt about their professionalism through interactions with teachers in charge, directors, parents, and children. The participants claimed that the Nuri curriculum teaching assistants system should be improved to achieve better quality childcare programs. The implications to support the Nuri curriculum teaching assistants system were discussed in depth.

본 연구는 영아보육교사의 내적 교육신념인 교수효능감과 직무스트레스에 대해서 알아보고 영아보육교사의 교수효능감과 직무스트레스의 상관관계 및 교수효능감이 직무스트레스에 미치는 영향력은 어떠한지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 경기지역 국공립, 민간, 가정 보육시설에서 근무하고 있는 36개월 미만의 영아반 교사를 대상으로 설문조사를 하였다. 결과처리를 위하여 ANOVA분석, 상관관계분석, 다중회귀분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과로 첫째, 영아보육교사의 교수효능감은 보통보다 높게 나타났으며 일반적 교수효능감이 개인적 교수효능감보다 높게 나타나 전반적으로 영아보육교사 자신의 교수효능감을 높게 인식하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 영아보육교사의 직무스트레스는 보통보다 낮게 나타났다. 하위 영역별로 보면 업무관련 스트레스가 가장 높았으며 다음으로 영아들과의 활동 스트레스, 개인관련 스트레스 순으로 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 교수효능감과 직무스트레스간의 관계는 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 교수효능감의 하위 요인 중에서 일반적 교수효능감은 직무스트레스와 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 개인적 교수효능감 만이 유의미한 부적상관을 보였다. 영아보육교사의 교수효능감이 직무스트레스에 미치는 영향력은 개인적 교수효능감 만이 직무스트레스에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 개인적 교수효능감이 높을수록 직무스트레스는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 일반적 특성 중에서는 교육수준, 월 급여, 근무시간이 직무스트레스에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 교육수준이 높을수록, 월 급여가 적을수록, 근무시간이 많을수록 영아보육교사의 직무스트레스는 높아진다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 영아보육교사의 교수효능감을 향상시키고 직무스트레스를 감소시키는 방안을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze consistency between theories of early childhood education and the teaching practices of kindergarten teachers. The subjects were 24 teachers selected from a pool of 125 teachers in the city of Taegu. The instruments employed for this study were the teacher belief test inventory (TBTI) and teacher practices observation form (TPOF). The data were analyzed by SPSS statistical package. The results of this study are as follows: (1) most of the teachers supported the interactionist theory. (2) A significant positive correlation was found between teachers' behaviorist theory and teaching practices. A positive but nonsignificant correlation was found between teachers' interactionist theory and teaching practices. (3) A significant positive correlation was found in the amount of teaching experience on behaviorist theory and teaching practices.

이 연구는 보육교사의 교사적성, 과학태도가 과학교수효능감에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 연구대상은 어린이집 교사 297명이었으며 Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instruments, Inventory of Science Attitudes, 보육교사적성 도구를 사용하여 연구자료를 평가하였다. 수집된 자료는 Pearson의 적률 상관계수와 단계적 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 먼저 보육교사의 적성은 과학교수 개인효능감, 과학교수 결과기대감, 과학교수효능감과 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 둘째, 과학태도 중 과학에 대한 흥미와 과학의 사회적 가치는 과학교수 개인효능감, 과학교수 결과기대감, 과학교수효능감과 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 그러나 과학과 과학자에 대한 인식 자체는 과학교수 개인효능감과 유의미한 상관을 보이지 않았다. 마지막으로 과학교수효능감에 영향을 미치는 보육교사적성과 과학태도를 살펴본 결과, 과학교수 개인효능감에 대해 과학에 대한 흥미와 긍정적 정서가 영향을 미치고, 과학교수 결과기대감에 대해서는 과학의 사회적 가치, 과학과 과학자에 대한 인식, 대인관계능력이 영향을 미쳤으며, 과학교수효능감에 대해서는 과학에 대한 흥미, 과학의 사회적 가치, 긍정적 정서, 대인관계능력이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과가 보육교사의 과학교수효능감을 증가시켜 영유아교육 현장에서 바람직한 과학교수가 이루어질 수 있도록 하는데 기초적 자료로 활용될 수 있으리라 기대해 본다.
