Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the contents of the difficulties experienced by day care Teachers under the COVID-19 situation using the concept mapping and to verify how much they sympathize with the contents of the difficulties. Methods This study was conducted according to the concept mapping proposed by Kane and Trochim(2007). After interviewing 12 target day care teachers who met the study, 62 statements were finally decided, and a multidimensional scale method was conducted based on the group similarity matrix. Furthermore, dimensions and clusters were named through hierarchical cluster analysis. Results Among the final statements, everyone agreed that they experienced difficulties in carrying out government guidelines that differed from the field in the COVID-19 situation. Furthermore, Two dimensions were named as the dimension of ‘childcare activity-class operation management’ on the X (horizontal) axis and the dimension of ‘Nursery internal factor-Nursery external factor’ on the Y (vertical) axis. Next, 3 clusters were named as ‘cluster 1. teacher role performance’, ‘cluster 2. government guidelines performance’, and ‘cluster 3. stress from a lot of work’. Conclusions Through the results of this study, the contents of the difficulties experienced by day care teachers under the special situation of the COVID-19 pandemic were identified. Therefore, it can be used to establish basic data that can provide help for practical intervention in the situation of infectious diseases that may occur later.
