Action-Learning에 기초한 영유아교사 건강교육 연수프로그램 개발 및 적용 효과

Abstract

본 연구의 목적은 Action Learning 기초한 영유아교사 건강교육 프로그램을 개발하고 적용하여 영유아교사의 건강교수효능감, 문제해결력, 의사소통능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경기도 소재의 4곳의 직장어린이집 영유아교사 42명(실험집단 21명, 비교집단 21명)을 연구대상으로 선정하고 총 12회의 건강교육 연수 프로그램을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 효과를 검증하기 위해 영유아교사의 건강교수효능감, 문제해결력, 의사소통능력의 사전-사후 점수의 차이를 공분산분석(ANCOVA)으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 실험집단 영유아교사의 건강교수효능감, 문제해결력, 의사소통능력이 비교집단 영유아교사보다 통계적으로 유의한 수준에서 높은 것으로 나타났다. Action Learning에 기초한 영유아교사 건강교육 연수프로그램은 협력적 문제해결 경험을 제공하여 영유아교사의 건강교육 관련 실천적 지식 발달을 증진시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 결과는 건강한 영유아육성을 위한 지원방안마련에 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 기대한다.

This study aims to construction an action learning-based, edu-care teacher training program for health education and then apply it to edu-care teachers, and to then examine it’s effects. The objective is to cultivate teachers who possess the following qualities: health teaching efficacy, communication capability and active problem-solving ability-all based on a firm understanding of the importance of young children’s health in the rearing of healthy young children. The study established four locations Gyeonggi-do, The program was organized by 42 teachers in The program was organized by 42 teachers in workplace nursery school in Gyeonggi-do over a 12 week period from November 26, 2012 to February 13, 2013. The 42 teachers were divided into an experiment group (n = 21) and a control group (n = 21). To verify the study’s effectiveness, the study analyzed- using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and independent sample t-verification-pre-post grade gaps in health education efficacy of infants’ teacher, problem solving skills, and communication skills. The study found that teachers in the experiment group had statistically high health teaching efficacy, problem solving skills, and communication skills more than the others in a control group. Following the 12 week period, a post-test was carried out and then data were statistically processed by carrying out covariance analysis. The training program was effective at developing expertise by cultivating such health education-related practical knowledge as health education efficacy, problem- solving ability and communication capability. These results suggest that the program coud be an effective strategy for edu-care teacher training program for health education in order to improve young children’s health.
