보육교사의 소진과 소진 예방 프로그램에 대한 요구 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate preschool teachers' burnout and demand analysis for burnout prevention programs. Because preschool teachers are a very important factor in determining the quality of education for infants, there is a need to prevent and resolve the burnout experienced by preschool teachers. The preceding study derived factors that affect preschool teachers' burnout, and this study selected the personal psychological factors that led them to overcome their burnout through their own efforts as the subject of the burnout prevention program and examined the topics that are most frequently requested by 300 preschool teachers. Demand analysis was conducted on the degree of burnout of preschool teachers and the topics of the program developed by Maslach and Jackson(1981) using a questionnaire revised by Kim(1992). The results of the study are as follows. First, the level of burnout of preschool teachers was lower than normal, while demand for the subject of the prevention program was very high. Second, there were differences in the subject of the prevention program that required depending on the degree of burnout. In general, both the top and bottom groups showed high demands on the topic 'stress response and management'. In addition, the upper class of burnout highly requested the subject of 'emotional labor response' and showed high interest in technology that manages negative factors, while the lower group of burnout showed high demand for 'empathic ability' and showed interest in technology that sympathizes with and communicates with infants, parents and fellow teachers. And the burnout subgroups had a higher overall demand on the subject of the burnout prevention program than in the upper group. Third, groups with a high degree of feeling of reduce personal accomplishment among the sub-area of the burnout showed a significant difference from the sub-groups due to their very low demand on the subject of the burnout prevention program. Therefore, a follow-up study was required for a group of people with a high sense of feeling of reduce personal accomplishment. This study showed that preschool teachers had a high demand for the burnout prevention program and were able to understand what the subject was most demanding. This study also showed that there were differences in requirements depending on the degree of burnout. The results of this study might provide the necessary information for the development of a burnout prevention program.
