이 연구의 목적은 예비보육교사들의 교직윤리의식이 교사효능감과 전문성인식에 영향을 미치는 요인은 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적으로 A시에 소재한 예비보육교사 285명을 대상으로 질문지를 사용하여 실시하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 예비보육교사들이 지각한 교직윤리의식은 영유아에 대한 윤리가, 교사효능감에서는 교수전략이, 전문성인식은 사회봉사와 직업윤리가 가장 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 예비보육교사들의 교직윤리의식, 교사효능감, 전문성인식에서 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 예비유아교사들의 교직윤리의식이 교사효능감과 전문성인식에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과로 볼 때, 예비보육교사의 교직윤리의식의 중요성을 인식하고 질 높은 보육서비스 향상을 위하여 교사효능감과 전문성인식이 형성될 수 있도록 체계적인 보육교사 교육의 내실화를 마련하는데 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구의 목적은 영아반 보육교사가 어린이집의 하루일과 속에서 영아권리존중보육을 어느 정도 실행하고 있는지를 살펴보는데 있다. 이를 위하여, J도 G시에 소재한 어린이집 영아반을 담당하는 보육교사 210명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 어린이집 하루일과에 따른 영아권리존중보육의 실행 수준을 보육교사의 학력, 경력, 연령, 전공에 따라 차이를 검증한 결과, 전체적으로 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 등원시간과 화장실 다녀오는 시간에는 4년제졸업이상 학력교사보다 전문대졸 학력교사가, 등원시간과 낮잠 재우는 시간에는 50대 이상 연령교사보다 30~40대 연령교사가 영아의 권리를 보다 존중하는 보육을 실행하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 보육교사의 연령과 전공에 따라서 전체적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 하위영역별로 살펴보아도, 교사의 연령에 따라서는 의사 존중, 개별성 존중, 정보 제공에서 50대 이상 연령교사보다 30~40대 연령교사가, 교사의 전공에 따라서는 자율성 존중, 개별성 존중에서 유아교육 계열 전공교사보다 보육복지 계열 교사가 영아 최우선의 원칙에 따라 영아의 권리존중보육을 보다 우수하게 실행하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 두 관련변인의 관계성을 살펴본 결과, 통계적으로 유의미한 정적인 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 보육교사가 어린이집의 하루일과에 따라 실행하는 영아권리존중보육을 많이 할수록 영아 최우선의 원칙에 따른 영아권리존중보육도 많이 한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 양적 질적으로 우수하고 균형 있는 영아의 권리존중 내실화를 다지는데 필요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the recognition and qualities of early childhood coding education in childcare center teachers. Methods: 158 childcare center teachers responded to 56 questions on a questionnaire extracted and revised from previous research. Frequency analysis and one-way ANOVA were applied for the data analysis. Results: Many teachers agreed that the software education policy was timely appropriate. Most of them needed the education in order to improve children's creativity and problem solving ability, and answered that it is appropriate to start the education at age 5. Most of them recognized that small group and free choice activities, play activities linked with daily life topics and coding programs by the childcare center teachers were desirable as educational methods. Provision of educational HW/SW environment was a relatively important element for effective implementation of the education. The coding educational qualities perceived by the teachers were not high, and were related to the age of the children they were in charge of and their computer literacy. Conclusion/Implications: The recognition of childcare center teachers was relatively positive, but it is necessary to educate the teachers to improve their recognition and qualities of the education in consideration of teachers' variables.
