Abstract
The purpose of this study was to comprehensively analyze the research trends regarding 'Infant-Teacher Interaction' published in domestic academic journals, in order to provide foundational data for the activation of research on infant-teacher interaction. To achieve this, a total of 93 papers published in domestic academic journals from 2013 to 2022, following the implementation of free infant care, were selected as the subjects of analysis. The study analyzed trends based on the periods of research, target subjects, methods employed, and content. The research findings are as follows First, research related to 'Infant-Teacher Interaction' has been consistently published in various academic journals, with the exception of 2017. Second, the research subjects predominantly focused on infants aged 2 years and younger. Third, in terms of research methods, survey research utilizing questionnaires held a prominent position, surpassing the majority of quantitative studies. Fourth, concerning the content of the research, studies related to teachers, individual factors, and teacher leadership overwhelmingly dominated. Based on these research outcomes, future research directions can be proposed. Research on 'Infant-Teacher Interaction' should not only focus on teacher-related variables but also explore various ecological aspects, including infant and parent-related factors. Additionally, a qualitative research approach is recommended to actively delve into the profound and internal explorations of human variables.
