방과후전담사 운영에 대한 담당교사의 인식 : 경기도 공립유치원을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the teacher’s perception on management of after school caregiver at public kindergartens in Gyeonggi Province. One hundred sixty five teachers responded to a questionnaire survey. The results of this study were as follows; first, most teachers wanted after-school caregiver who had a licensed Kindergarten Teacher Certificate. Most after-school caregiver seemed to be helpful for the overall operation of after-school classes. Most of the teachers answered that reeducation for the after-school caregiver was needed. Second, the proper working hours would be six hour, and the most desirable method of salary payment was the annual salary system(365 days). The most proper amount of wages for after-school caregiver was 6,500∼7,000 won per hour. Teachers wanted the educational agency to support the personnel expenses for the after-school caregiver among the budget execution items. Most teachers said it was necessary to convert the open-ended contract for after-school caregiver. Third, the biggest problem with the after-school caregiver system was no deployment of teachers in charge. After-school caregiver was demoralized due to the working conditions in most cases. Finally, most of the teachers answered that the government should support the personnel expenses to recruit the after-school caregiver with a certificate related to early childhood education. They also answered that the top priority for improving the problems with the after-school caregiver system was to secure teachers exclusively in charge of after-school classes.
