포스트 코로나시대 예비영유아교사가 겪는 어려움과 지원방안에 대한 질적연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine in depth the difficulties faced by preservice early childhood teachers and the support methods they require in the post-corona era. In order to achieve this purpose, 12 preservice early childhood teachers attending a university in Gyeonggi-do were selected as research participants. Research data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with study participants, and interviews were conducted from March to July 2022. The difficulties experienced by the study participants in the study were 'difficult financial situation and time management', 'stress of forming friendships', 'school and department events that no one knows about', and 'social gaze of Corona student number'. As a support method to solve these difficulties, research participants demanded 'various programs to support companionship', 'customized education to improve the professionalism', 'expansion of various scholarship systems', and 'establishment of a flexible lecture system'. The research results derived from this study will be able to contribute to establishing a customized support system for pre-service early childhood teachers who are experiencing difficulties due to the crisis caused by the post-corona era.
