Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the validity of confirmed factors and questions through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis on the test tool for early childhood teachers’ safety attitudes and develop a standardized test tool to evaluate their overall capacity of safety attitudes and measure whether their safety habits and attitudes have been formed desirably based on that. To develop the tool, a preliminary plan was devised through literature review and expert surveys. The subjects of the study were 30 and 90 early childhood teachers for primary and secondary tests and secondary and tertiary expert surveys, and 322 early childhood teachers were for exploratory factor analysis. For the final confirmatory analysis, the goodness-of-fit and validity of the final questions were verified with 426 early childhood teachers located in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Gangwon, and Chungcheong. According to the findings, it was confirmed to be a validated evaluation tool that had passed the test tool’s item response distribution and item discrimination analysis, factor analysis, and construct validity verification including correlation with subfactors. For the test tool developed for early childhood teachers’ safety attitudes, total 5 areas, disaster safety, life safety, traffic safety, child abuse, and first aid, and 22 questions were selected.
