Abstract

The purpose of the study is to collect basic data on the development of edutech utilization programs for pre-service early childhood teachers by examining the experience of using edutech and the perception of the need for edutech in the educational field. The research method was to distribute and collect the questionnaire in May 2023 for students in the Department of Early Childhood Education at a four-year university located in Gyeonggi-do, and analyze 142 copies excluding inappropriate questionnaires. Data analysis was used for SPSS 29.0 Window and statistical processing such as frequency analysis and technical statistics was performed. The results of the study are as follows. The experience of pre-service early childhood techers using edutech was high in content creation tools and remote instructional tools among instructional tools, but low in evaluation, collaboration tools, and overall student support. As for the edutech experience, instructor lectures were the most common, and the convenience of teaching-learning was cited as the advantage of edutech. In the educational field, the necessity of edutech was generally highly recognized, and the edutech that is most required to be developed was the creation of customized instructional materials using big data. In conclusion, this study drew various implications to understand and support pre-service early childhood techers by examining the perceptions of pre-service early childhood techers about edutech. The results of this study are considered to be meaningful as basic data in the development of programs using edutech for pre-service early childhood techers in the future.
