Abstract

This study is aimed at figuring out the influence of early childhood teachers' playfulness and sensitivity on play teaching efficacy. The subjects of the study were 262 early childhood teachers working in kindergarten and day care centers located in J City. The instruments were the Adult Playfulness Scale, the Sensitivity Scale, and the Play Teaching Efficacy Scale. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS. In order to find out the general background of the early childhood teachers, frequency and percentage were used. In addition, in order to assess the relationships among playfulness, sensitivity, and the play teaching efficacy of an early childhood teacher, Pearson's correlation analysis was carried out. Lastly, for examination of the effects and a relative explanation of the effects of playfulness and sensitivity on play teaching efficacy in early childhood teachers, a multiple regression analysis was conducted. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was positive correlation among playfulness, sensitivity, and play teaching efficacy in the early childhood teacher. Second, play teaching efficacy of early childhood teachers was influenced by their playfulness and sensitivity. In conclusion, the significance of this study is that there was a significant correlation among playfulness, sensitivity, and play teaching efficacy in early childhood teachers, and that both of the first two variables were factors influencing play teaching efficacy.

본 연구의 목적은 영유아교사의 놀이성, 민감성, 놀이교수효능감 간의 관계를 분석하고 놀이성, 민감성이 놀이교수 효능감에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 J도에 소재하고 있는 유치원, 어린이집 18개소에 근무하고 있는 영유아교사 262명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 연구도구는 놀이성 척도, 민감성 척도, 놀이 교수 효능감 척도이며 본 연구에 맞게 수정, 보완하여 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 분석하기 위하여 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 사용하였으며, 빈도와 백분율, Pearson의 적률상관관계, 중다회귀분석을 통해 자료를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 영유아교사의 놀이성, 민감성, 놀이교수 효능감 간에는 정적인 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째 영유아교사의 놀이성, 민감성이 놀이교수 효능감에 미치는 영향을 살펴 본 결과 모두 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 영유아교사의 놀이성, 민감성, 놀이교수 효능감 간에는 모두 유의미한 상관이 있었으며, 두 변인 모두 유아-교사 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 요인이었으며, 이는 영유아교사가 민감하고 놀이성이 높으면 놀이교수 효능감도 높다라는 것을 확인하였다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
