지역아동센터 교사의 아동지도역량강화 프로그램개발을 위한 기초조사

Abstract

This examined the difficulties community children’s center teachers face when teaching children and what behaviors of children they particularly feel difficulty while teaching to provide basic data to develop educational programs for empowering teachers to provide proper guidance for maladaptive children. Surveys were conducted on 431 workers affiliated with community children’s centers in the Jeonnam region and descriptive statistics analysis was conducted. The research results first showed that teachers perceived the psychological, emotional support and life guidance fields to be very important. Second, teachers voiced difficulties due to a lack of competence for dealing with problematic situations of children and particularly in teaching children who were disobedient and absentminded to engage in activities through their experience with teaching maladaptive children. Third, they demanded empowerment education that would improve expert skills and qualifications that could satisfy the various demands of children and parents, such as the skill to handle problematic behavior and communication skills with children and parents. Therefore, this study is significant in that it investigated the actual difficulties experienced by community child center teachers in providing for maladaptive children, thereby acting as a fundamental investigation to explore the needs for an educational program to enhance the capacities for children’s guidance and examine the demands of teachers, such as contents composition, operation hours, and lecture method.
