The aim of the study was to develop the scale for measuring prospective teacher's belief on workplace spirituality. The researchers revised the 'Workplace Spirituality Scale for Early Childhood Teacher (Lim, 2014)' into the draft of 'Workplace Spirituality Belief for Prospective Early Childhood Teacher (WSBS_PECT)' and then validated the draft of WSBS_PECT statistically. The data were collected from 664 prospective teachers participating 5 early childhood teacher programs. EFA, CFA, Correlations and some statistical methods were carried out for testing validity and reliability of the scale. As a result, the WSBS_PECT with 21 items of 4 factors - i.e. 'awareness of meaning of life', 'belief on calling for ECE teacher job', 'belief on relationships in community', and 'belief on membership in community'- was developed and identified as a available measurement for prospective childhood teachers.

This pilot study examined programs for early childhood education and care in three Chinese cities. The samples for this study were one university-based kindergarten, one private kindergarten (rural area), and one public kindergarten (urban area). Six types of instruments were used to assess early childhood education and care services regarding quality matters. Most questions asked were open-ended; consequently, the interview answers by kindergarten directors or teachers (as well as observations made by the researcher) formed the basis for collecting the data. Quality components for each program were determined by a comparison method. The comparison allowed the researcher to understand the range of quality education and care available as well as the variability of existing kindergarten programs in China. The findings of the investigation revealed important information on; (a) demographic information (fees, class hours, total weeks of class, vacation, number of children and staff, class size, and teacher-child ratio) (b) teacher characteristics, (c) health practices, (d) safety practices, (e) work environment, (f) physical settings, (g) play materials, (h) parent involvement, (i) nutrition, (j) daily schedule. Implications within the Chinese context for quality practices and issues to further develop and strengthen early childhood education and care systems are discussed.

본 연구는 유아교사의 교사효능감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 탐색하기 위해 현재 재직 중인 유아교사를 대상으로 자료 수집하여 202명 자료를 분석하였다. 대상자의 일반적 특성과 공감, 회복탄력성, 교사효능감에 대한 빈도분석, 상관분석, 다중 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 연구결과 유아교사의 교사효능감 영향요인은 교육경력, 직무성취도, 공감, 회복탄력성으로 확인되었으며 설명력은 57.2%로 나타났다(F=45.848, p<.001). 결론적으로 유아교사의 교사효능감은 회복탄력성(β=.480)이 높을수록, 직무성취도(β=.286)가 높을수록, 교육경력(β=.197)이 많을수록, 공감(β=.141)능력이 높을수록 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 유아교사의 교사효능감 증진을 위해 예비유아교사 시기부터 회복탄력성, 직무성취도, 공감능력을 증진시킬 수 있는 정규교육과 비정규교육과정을 융합한 교육과정 개발 및 교육이 요구된다.

Objective: The objective of this study is to classify the personality types of early childhood teachers and examine the variations in teacher self-efficacy and play support based on these personality types. Methods: The subjects of this study consisted of 302 early childhood teachers responsible for children aged 3 to 5 years old. The collected data were analyzed using cluster analysis and analysis of covariance. Results: Early childhood teachers were categorized into four types: the "sensitive group" (29%), the "conservative group" (10%), the "passive group" (28%), and the "active group" (34%). Significant differences in mean scores were observed for teacher self-efficacy and play support across these personality types. Notably, the active group demonstrated the highest levels of both teacher self-efficacy and play support. Consequently, the active group emerged as the most effective and functional personality type among early childhood teachers. Conclusion/Implications: This study emphasized the significance of early childhood teachers' personality types in their teaching practices, underscoring the importance of developing in-service and pre-service teacher education programs that take into account these personality types.

They complained that they had a poor knowledge about environmental problems and environmental education. They reported that kindergarten had no systematic programs and useful materials for environmental education. Firstly, the emphasis of environmental education in teacher education and on-the-job training programs for kindergarten teachers was discussed.

This qualitative study explored the causes of student teacher stress during an early childhood teaching practicum and investigated the ways in which student teachers cope with this stress. Four student teachers in the same practicum placement were individually interviewed. The findings revealed that stress arose over a variety of concerns including both lack of professional knowledge related to the teaching practice and the challenges involved in establishing a positive relationship with their cooperating teacher, the parents and staff. The stress experienced by the student teacher was accompanied by physical symptoms such as exhaustion, fatigue, and the onset of vulnerability to colds. However, the students were found to be generally unsuccessful in managing their stress effectively. The results suggest that attempts to improve the practicum environment should be accompanied by academic interests and practical issues related to these stresses and that there is a clear need for programs designed to assist student teachers develop stress management skills.

(a) Most directors, teachers, and parents positively agreed with the eco-centered early childhood education and recognized its benefits. (b) In order for the eco-centered early childhood education to be successful, development of various programs, systematic study, ongoing teacher training, and parents' education were required. (c) In order for the eco-centered early childhood education to develop more culturally appropriate program, close connection with local community, reorganization of the early childhood education curriculum, and government support were needed.

The purpose of the study was to examine early childhood teachers' content knowledge on green growth education. The subjects, 45 early childhood teachers, were asked to draw concept maps about early childhood green growth education. Their concept maps were analyzed in terms of superordinate and subordinate concepts by contents and frequencies. The results showed that early childhood teachers used 182 superordinate and 1,292 subordinate concepts in the concept map of green growth education for young children. Although early childhood teachers had a wealth of content knowledge on green growth education as proposed by the Ministry of Education, their knowledge was disproportionate to some areas and sub-areas of green growth education. These results implied the needs of developing teacher education programs for early childhood green growth education.

본 연구는 예비 영·유아교사들의 교육실습, 교사 효능감, 정서지능이 교육헌신에 미치는 영향을 살펴 보고 이들 간의 관계를 밝혀보는 다각적인 분석을 통해 예비 영·유아교사들의 교육헌신 태도를 함양시키고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 2018년도 11월 1일부터 2019년도 3월까지 수도권 전문대학의 예비 영·유아교사 75명을 대상으로 150개의 설문을 배부하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 PASS Statistics 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 통계처리하였으며 각 요인들이 교육헌신에 주는 영향력과 영향관계를 밝히기 위해 상관분석 및 다중회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 예비 영·유아교사들의 교육헌신은 교사효능감, 정서지능, 실습경험들과 정적상관을 보였으며, 실습경험 전이나 실습경험 후에도 교육헌신은 교사효능감이나 정서지능과 정적 상관관계를 보이고 있었다. 둘째, 예비영유아교사의 경우 교육실습경험 전에는 정서지능이 높아지면 교육 헌신이 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며 교육실습의 경험을 쌓은 이후에는 교사효능감이 높아지면 교육헌신이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 예비 영·유아교사들의 교육헌신을 높이기 위해서 교육실습전에는 정서지능 역량을 강화할 수 있는 프로그램이나 내용교육이 효과적이고, 교육 실습 이후에는 교사 효능감 역량을 강화할 수 있는 프로그램이나 내용교육이 보다 효과적임을 시사하고 있다.
