보육교사의 부모상담 경험에 관한 질적연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to qualitatively analyze the experiences of childcare teachers during the parent counseling process. To collect data, interviews were conducted in a semi-structured format with seven childcare teachers working at daycare centers in Gyeonggi-do. As a result of focus group interviews with childcare teachers, three themes and 7 categories were derived. The three themes emerged as the importance of parent counseling, experience of parent counseling, and success factors of parent counseling. The first theme, the importance of parental counseling, was analyzed into three categories: provision of expert knowledge in childcare, exchange of developmental characteristics of infants and toddlers, and trust between parents and teachers. The second theme, parental counseling experience, was divided into two categories: difficulties in parental counseling and successful parental counseling experiences. The third theme, success factors in parent counseling, was divided into two categories: parent counseling teacher factors and parent counseling parent factors. It is expected that these results will help provide the support and direction necessary for effective parent counseling.
