유아교사의 교사효능감이 유아의 사회성에 미치는 영향 : 직무만족도와 교사-유아 상호작용 질의 순차적 매개효과

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined the effects of teacher's self-efficacy on children's sociality through the mediating effects of job-satisfaction and the quality of teacher-child interaction. The participants in this study consisted of 27 teachers working at child care centers and 71 children(4-5 years old) in their charge in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do province, Korea. Data were analyzed by means of a Hayes's PROCESS(2012) program to identify the serial multiple mediating effects and the relationships which exist among the various factors. The present study found that teacher's self-efficacy had significant indirect effects on children's sociality through job-satisfaction and the quality of teacher-child interaction. These results suggest that a higher level of teacher's self-efficacy leads to greater job-satisfaction and better quality of teacher-child interaction and this in turn has an influence on children's sociality. Keywords：교사효능감(teacher's self-efficacy), 직무만족도(job-satisfaction), 교사-유아 상호작용의 질(the quality of teacher-child interaction), 유아의 사회성(children's sociality).
