Abstract

This study aims to investigate the perception of pre-service early childhood teachers regarding play-oriented education through metaphorical analysis, in order to comprehend its meaning that pre-service early childhood teachers perceive. A questionnaire was used, which asked the participants to express play metaphorically and provide reasons for their choices. The collected data were analyzed using a systematic metaphorical analysis approach. The results revealed that the metaphorical expressions of pre-service early childhood teachers regarding play-oriented education were categorized as instructional methods being the most prominent, followed by environment, enjoyment/happiness, autonomy, growth and development, interactive relationships, child-directedness, the essence of life, interest, creativity, potential, variability, everyday life, ambiguity of beginnings and endings, naturalness, and others. Based on these findings, it is expected that one can attain insights regarding the methods of training pre-service early childhood teachers on how to implement play-centered education in the revised Nuri curriculum.

본 연구는 은유분석을 통해 놀이중심교육에 대해 예비유아교사들이 어떠한 인식을 하고 있는지 조사하여 예비유아교사들이 생각하고 있는 놀이중심교육의 의미를 파악하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 경상남도 C시에 소재한 4년제 및 3년제 대학교 유아교육과에 재학중인 예비유아교사들로 최종 183명이 참여하였다. 연구도구로 놀이를 은유적으로 표현하고 그 이유를 서술하도록 한 질문지를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 체계적 은유분석 단계를 적용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 놀이중심교육에 대한 예비유아교사들의 은유적 표현 범주에서 교수학습방법이 가장 많았으며, 환경, 즐거움·행복, 자율, 성장발달, 상호작용관계, 유아주도, 삶의 본, 흥미, 창의성, 잠재력, 가변성, 일상, 시작과 끝의 모호성, 자연스러움, 기타 순으로 분류되어 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 개정 누리과정에서 놀이중심교육을 어떻게 구현할 것인지에 대한 구체적인 예비유아교사교육 방법에 대한 시사점을 제공할 수 있을것이다.
