Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not there is a difference between kindergarten and day-care center teachers in terms of understanding of the laws regarding rights, as well as whether or not there are difference in understandings of the laws depending on establishment type. The subjects in the study were 601 kindergarten teachers and 906 day-care teachers, for a total of 1,507 teachers. Using the data, percentages calculations, one-way ANOVA, and Scheffe post-tests were performed using SPSS 21.0. As a result of the study, first, public-kindergarten teachers were found to be more knowledgeable about the rights of teachers guaranteed by the law, compared to private-kindergarten teachers or day-care teachers. Second, the public-kindergarten teachers were more knowledgeable than the private kindergarten teachers about the laws related to rights in all 5 rights-related areas. The teachers of private and family day-care centers were shown to be less knowledgeable than the public-kindergarten teachers as indicated by the differences according to establishment type shown only in the areas of rights to education and professional autonomy and improvement of working conditions and guarantee of benefits. The private and day-care center teachers were less knowledgeable about the rights than the teachers at workplace or public day-care centers. Therefore, in order to promote interest in kindergarten and day-care teachers, it is necessary not only to raise social awareness but also to raise teachers’ understanding itself about the rights of teachers guaranteed by the law.
