Abstract

The purpose of this stud is to find out what factors that multicultural awareness and multicultural attitude of early childhood teachers affect multicultural efficacy are. In order to achieve this research purpose, the survey was carried out by using questionnaires targeting 394 early childhood teachers working in Early Childhood Educational Institutions located in I city. The response results are as follows: First, multicultural awareness, multicultural attitude, multicultural efficacy of early childhood teachers did not show any difference by workplace. Second, it turned out that there is a significant correlation between multicultural awareness, multicultural efficacy of early childhood teachers. Third, it turned out that multicultural awareness and multicultural attitude of early childhood teachers have a positive influence on multicultural efficacy. In view of the results of this study, multicultural efficacy can be improved when awareness and attitude of early childhood teachers on multicultural education are changed so it is thought that various studies that can continuously conduct multicultural education training programs etc. for early childhood teachers should be conducted.

이 연구의 목적은 유아교사들의 다문화인식과 다문화태도가 다문화효능감에 영향을 미치는 요인은 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 I시에 소재한 유아교육기관에 근무하고 있는 유아교사 394명을 대상으로 질문지를 사용하여 실시하였다. 응답결과에 대하여 첫째, 유아교사들의 다문화인식, 다문화태도, 다문화효능감이 근무지별에 따라 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 유아교사들의 다문화인식, 다문화효능감에서 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 유아교사들의 다문화인식과 다문화태도가 다문화효능감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과로 볼 때, 다문화교육에 대한 유아교사들의 인식과 태도가 변화되어야 다문화효능감은 향상될 수 있으므로, 유아교사들을 위하여 다문화교육 연수프로그램 등을 지속적으로 실시할 수 있는 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
