본 연구는 예비보육교사의 보육실습에 대한 심도 깊은 연구를 위해 질적연구방법을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과 첫째, 실습 전 예비보육교사는 자신이 이중역할을 수행할 것으로 인식하였다. 실습지도교사와 불평등한 수직적 관계를 이루고, 아동에게는 교사와 친구의 중간자이며, 시설장은 중재자, 실습 동료는 동반자로 인식하였다. 둘째, 실습 중 예비보육교사는 삼중 역할을 수행하였으며, 실습지도교사는 보육인 양성가로서의 역할수행을 한 것으로 나타났다. 예비보육교사는 실습지도교사와 상부상조적인 상호작용, 아동에게는 교사와 친구의 중간자, 시설장은 중요한 지지자, 실습동료와 불편한 경쟁자로서의 관계를 이루고 있다. 셋째, 실습 후 예비보육교사는 만족감과 아쉬움을 가지고 있었으며, 교육과정에서 이론과 실습의 균형을 강조하였다. 본 연구는 보육실습에 실습의 주체가 되는 예비보육교사 보육실습 요구를 파악함으로써 보육실습의 질 향상을 위한 개선 방향을 제시하는 것에 의의가 있다.

예비보육교사의 보육교사적성을 파악하고 보육교사적성이 교사전문성인식과 보육효능감 및 다문화교수 효능감에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴본 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 보육교사적성 중 영유아에 대한 친화력에서 남녀 차이가 있음이 밝혀졌으나 다른 영역에서 차이가 없음을 보여 보육교사의 성보다는 보육교사직에 대한 소망과 자질이 중요함을 시사한다. 또한 보육교사적성 중 업무에 대한 소명감이 보육교사전문성 인식을 의미있게 설명하는 변인으로 밝혀졌고, 창의성과 자기계발, 영유아에 대한 친화력, 수용성과 민감성, 안전관리능력이 보육효능감을 의미있게 설명하는 변인으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 창의성과 자기계발이 다문화교수효능감을 설명하는 주요변인으로 밝혀져 예비보육교사가 창의성을 가지고 자신을 계발할 수 있도록 지도하여 다문화교수역량을 높일 필요성이 있음을 시사한다.

This study analyzes the motivation for selecting child-care profession, job environment, director's transformational leadership associated with child-care center teacher's (lead teacher and head teacher) role performance. The subjects of this study were 336 teachers (lead teacher and head teacher) who worked in a child-care center located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0 program using t-test, F-test, analysis of variance, post-hoc analysis (Duncan), Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study are as follows. First, the study inquired on if the child-care center teacher's general characteristics (year) influence the child-care center teacher's role performance. Consequently, significant differences were not found in overall role performance according to teacher's career but not in the child-care center teacher's age, academic ability, and licensing. Second, the motivation for selecting profession (teaching aptitude, teacher's desire for social respect, and possibility of self-realization), job environment, and director's transformational leadership had a significant positive correlation with overall role performance. The motivation for selecting profession (without motives) had a significant negative correlation with overall role performance. Third, the strongest predictors of 'overall role performance' were teaching aptitude, variable of motivation for selecting child-care profession, and director's transformational leadership variable.
