유아교사의 사회적 지지와 회복탄력성이 문제행동지도 효능감에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study intended to investigate the effect of the social support and resilience of the early childhood teachers on the efficacy of problem behavior guidance. To that end, this study established the following study questions. Study question 1. What is the effect of social support of the early childhood teachers on their efficacy of problem behavior guidance? Study question 2. What is the effect of resilience of the early childhood teachers on their efficacy of problem behavior guidance? This study conducted a survey with a questionnaire on 317 early childhood teachers working in Busan and Gyeongnam province, and used the scale of Kim and Lee (2019) to measure the efficacy of problem behavior guidance. In order to measure the resilience, the scales, which was developed by Shin et al. (2009) and revised and supplemented by Ryu (2020), was used and the scale, which was developed by Park (1985) and revised and supplemented by Lim (2000) was used to measure the social support. The data collected for this study were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 programs. In order to verify the study questions, the mean and standard deviation were calculated, and the product-moment correlation analysis of Pearson and the multiple regression analysis were performed. The outcomes of this study are as follows. First, the total score of early childhood teachers' social support had a significant positive effect on the problem behavior guidance efficacy, and as a sub-variable, material support appeared to have an effect on problem behavior guidance efficacy. Second, the total score of early childhood teachers' resilience had a significant positive effect on the effectiveness of problem behavior guidance. As a sub-variable, positivity showed explanatory power of 2% and self-regulation ability was 23%, indicating that self-regulation ability had relatively high influence. The results of this study suggest that in order to increase the effectiveness of early childhood teachers' problem behavior guidance, social support and resilience should be improved, and in particular, it is important to improve material support and self-regulation.
