유아교사의 교사효능감, 유아문제행동 인식 및 지도전략 간의 관계

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between early childhood teachers’teacher efficacy, perception of problematic behavior in young children, and guidance strategies. Also, it was confirmed that there was a difference between these variables according to the teacher’s background (institution type, work experience, age, education). The subjects of the survey were 190 teachers working at day care centers located in the metropolitan area (Seoul, Gyeonggi Province). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS statistics 24.0 program. The results of this study were as follows: First, there was no significant correlation between early childhood teacher’s efficacy and perception of problematic behavior, but there was a correlation between teacher efficacy and teaching strategies. Second, according to the background variables of early childhood teachers, there were partial differences in teachers' efficacy, perception of problematic behavior and teaching strategies for problematic behavior in young children. In teacher efficacy according to the background variables, there was a difference in all variables except for working type. Although there was no significant difference in the awareness of problematic behavior in young children according to the background variables, the difference in teaching strategies for problematic behavior was significant. Based on the results of the analysis of the relationship between these variables, it will be helpful to establish a teacher education system that can guide the problem behavior of young children.
