감정코칭 기반의 만 5세 유아 정서어휘 발달 지원을 위한 협력적 실행연구

초록

The purpose of this study was to explore the implementation process and educational significance of emotion-coaching-based support for emotional vocabulary development in five-year-old children. To this end, a three-cycle collaborative action research project was conducted over 20 weeks, from June to December 2022, involving 25 five-year-old children at Kindergarten A in Seoul, in cooperation with a teacher, an expert, and the research team. Data were collected through participant observations, researcher and teacher journals, audio-visual recordings, interviews, and relevant documents, and were analyzed using qualitative methods. The findings are as follows. First, emotion-coaching-based support for emotional vocabulary enhanced children’s abilities to recognize, express, and regulate emotions, increased their use of emotional vocabulary and contributed to a reduction in both aggressive and withdrawn behaviors. Second, through the collaborative implementation process, the participating teacher improved emotional sensitivity, strengthened instructional competence in supporting emotional vocabulary, and developed reflective practice. Third, the findings confirm that emotion coaching constitutes a holistic educational approach that integrates children's emotional, linguistic, and social development. Furthermore, this study underscores that close collaboration between teachers and experts serves as a key mechanism for the effective implementation of such programs.
