모성보호제도 이용에 대한 공립유치원 교사의 경험 분석

초록

This study aimed to present directions for establishing education using digital media in early childhood education sites by examining teachers’ perceptions of the use of digital media in early childhood education institutions and the actual state of the classroom environment. The participants were 187 early childhood teachers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. This study conducted a survey over two weeks from June 26 to July 7. Data were analyzed using frequency analysis, the chi-square test, and Fisher’s exact test. The results of this study were as follows: First, early childhood teachers recognized the need to use digital media in early childhood education institutions, and the educational goal of using digital media involved various experiences and desirable habits of using digital media. Second, the appropriate age for using digital media was four years, and the appropriate frequency and time of using digital media were 1–2 times a week for less than 10–20 minutes at a time. Third, the effect of using digital media in early childhood educational institutions is play expansion, and young children’s developmental levels should be considered when choosing digital media. In addition, early childhood teachers recognized that the distribution of various digital media in early childhood education institutions, educational materials, and teacher training were necessary. Fourth, about 30% of classrooms had digital media that could be used directly by young children, and digital media were used in the form of large group activities based on teachers’ choices rather than young children’s autonomous choices. These results suggest the need for various forms of digital media support and teacher training in the educational field for young children to manipulate digital media directly during play and activities.
