Abstract

The aim of this study is to understand the difficulties of operating team-teaching childcare and the efforts of teachers to overcome them through the voices of infant teachers at daycare centers operating team-teaching childcare. Data for the study was collected over a period of six months from March 1 to August 31, 2023. For the study, data such as interviews with research participants, research participant journals, researcher journals, teacher communication logs, and SNS (Kids Note) were collected. The collected data were analyzed according to phenomenological analysis methods. The research results are as follows. First, the difficulties encountered while operating team teaching include unequal division of work, conflicts arising from differences in team-teaching class operation, problems or differing opinions in communication with parents, and difficulties in supporting infants' play. This appeared to be due to differences in perception. Second, efforts to overcome difficulties led to active communication with each other by listening to the opinions of team-teaching teachers through informal communication between teachers, and at the same time, unnecessary conflicts were resolved to solidify the cooperative system among teachers. This study expects to conduct in-depth follow-up studies such as developing a team-teaching teacher program and improving the system for team-teaching teachers in order to find solutions to difficulties among team-teaching teachers.
