Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mothers'play belief and their children's playtime on self-determination of young children. Methods: Participants of this study were 239 mothers of 6-year-old children attending childcare centers. An online self-report survey method was implemented to investigate whether mothers appreciate the contribution of play on their children's development, if mothers allow their children's playtime, and to examine the level of self-determination of their children. SPSS 22.0 was conducted for descriptive statistics and AMOS 21.0 was used for the path analysis to investigate the hypothetical relationship among variables. Results: Mothers' play support belief had a direct influence on their children's self-determination, while young children's playtime that was also affected by their mothers' play support belief had an indirect effect on their self-determination. Conclusion/Implications: The research shows that children's self-determination can be fostered by providing time to play when they can make decisions and demonstrate goal directed behaviors, and by providing an atmosphere that emphasizes the importance of playing in one's childhood.

This study examines the effects of teacher's emotional intelligence on teacher-child interaction through the sequential mediation effects of efficacy belief about play and professional recognition. Participants were 268 teachers working at kindergartens in Gyeonggi area. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistic, Pearson's product-moment correlation, and the structural equation model using the SPSS 21.0 and Mplus 6.12 program. The main findings of this study are as follows: First, in regards to the relationship between emotional intelligence and teacher-child interaction, a single mediation effect of efficacy belief about play is significant. But there is no significant mediation effect of the professional recognition. Second, in regards to the pathway from emotional intelligence to teacher-child interaction, the professional recognition precedent mediation model is statistically significant, but efficacy belief about the play precedent mediation model is not significant. Based on the results, a concluding discussion was made regarding methods toward enhancing interaction between teacher and child.

유아들은 놀이를 통해 성장 및 발달을 한다. 놀이는 유아들의 일상생활 속에서 친구, 학습 매체 및 도구로서 활용되고 있다. 본 연구는 아버지의 놀이신념과 놀이참여도가 유아 놀이성에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하는데 목적을 둔 조사연구이다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 서울시 D구에 소재한 유치원에 재원 중인 만5세 유아 284명을 연구대상으로 선정하여 설문조사를 수행하였다. 설문조사를 통해 수집된 자료는 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, 신뢰도 검증, 상관관계 분석 및 회귀분석을 실시하여 다음과 같은 연구결과를 도출하였다. 첫째, 아버지의 놀이신념과 놀이 참여도는 신체적 자발성, 사회적 자발성, 인지적 자발성, 즐거움의 표현, 유머 감각의 유아 놀이성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 아버지의 놀이 신념과 유아 놀이성 관계에서 아버지의 놀이 참여도는 부분매개변수로서 유의한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 아버지의 놀이 신념과 놀이 참여도는 유아의 놀이성을 예측할 수 있는 중요인 변인이라는 결론을 도출하였다. 따라서 아버지와 유아 관계에서 놀이를 통한 다양한 상호작용을 할 수 있는 가정 내 분위기 형성과 유아와 놀이 활동에서 아버지의 바람직한 역할에 대한 부모교육 프로그램을 유아교육기관 차원에서 지속적으로 제공하여 유아들의 놀이성 발달을 촉진할 필요가 있을 것이다.

The participants were 287 infant teachers. The results were as follows. First, the independent variables had a significant effect on the efficacy of play teaching, teacher-infant interaction, and classroom environment. Second, the mediating effects of teacher-infant interaction and classroom environment on the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching were as follows. The interaction mediating effect between professionalism and play belief was significant, but teaching creativity was found to be significant. In the mediating effect of the classroom environment, expertise, play belief, and teaching creativity were found to be significant. Third, both teacher-infant interaction and the multimedia effect of the classroom environment were statistically significant in mediating the effect of independent variables on the efficacy of play teaching.

This study identified and explained the prototypes of teacher's belief about children's play with the use of Stephenson's Q-methodology. The sample consisted of 35 kindergarten teachers. A Q-deck composed of 48 cards, derived in part from a review of related literature and was developed by the researchers and sorted by the subjects. The obtained Q-sort scores were analyzed by factor analysis. The findings revealed that the subjects were divided into 3 belief types : "life-experienced", "developmental-disciplinary", "cultural-environmental". Likely explanations for these results are considered, and implications are discussed.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of children's characteristics and childcare teachers' attributes on the frequency and level of imaginative play in two-year-old classrooms. Methods: The study involved 191 toddlers, their mothers, and 32 teachers from childcare centers. Toddler characteristics encompassed temperament along with demographic variables such as gender and age. Teacher' attributes related to play included playfulness, play-support belief, and interactions with toddlers. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 22.0 and HLM 8.2 software, employing basic analysis, hierarchical linear analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: First, as toddlers' age increased, both the frequency and level of their imaginative play increased. Second, individual-level model analysis revealed a positive effect of toddlers' extroversion on the level of imaginative play. Third, the class-level model results indicated that teachers' emotions had a negative effect, whereas their encouragement positively influenced the level of imaginative play. Conclusion/Implications: The significance of this study lies in its utilization of a multilayered model analysis, which offers a more robust examination of variable influences by accounting for hierarchical data structures.

본 연구의 목적은 어머니의 놀이신념과 유아의 또래 유능성의 관계에서 유아 놀이성의 매개효과를 알아보는 것이다. 연구대상으로 J지역에 소재한 유아교육기관의 만 4~5세 유아 160명과 그 어머니 160명을 선정하였고, 어머니의 놀이신념과 유아의 놀이성, 또래 유능성에 관한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 통계 프로그램을 사용하여 상관분석과 매개분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 놀이신념과 유아의 놀이성, 또래 유능성 간의 관계를 분석한 결과, 어머니 놀이신념의 하위요인 중 '놀이지지' 신념과 유아의 놀이성, 또래 유능성 간의 유의한 정적 상관이 나타났다. 반면, 어머니 놀이신념의 하위요인 중 '학습중심' 신념과 유아의 놀이성, 또래 유능성 간의 관계는 유의하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 유아의 놀이성과 또래 유능성 간의 관계에서는 유의한 정적 상관이 나타났다. 둘째, 어머니의 '놀이지지' 신념과 유아의 또래 유능성의 관계에서 유아 놀이성의 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 놀이성이 부분 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구의 결과를 통해 어머니의 '놀이지지' 신념이 유아의 놀이성을 높이고 이로 인해 유아의 또래 유능성에 정적인 영향력을 증가시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 개정 누리과정의 실효성을 위하여 부모와 지역사회의 협조를 강조하고 있는 바, 본 논문에서는 어머니의 놀이에 대한 신념이 유아의 놀이성 및 또래유능성에 영향을 미치고 있음을 검증하였다는 측면에서 의미가 있다. 추후 부모를 대상으로 한 놀이에 대한 인식전환 및 놀이참여 방법 등 놀이관련 교육이 활성화 되어야 할 것이다.
