To this end, a survey was conducted on 215 childcare teachers working in kindergartens and daycare centers located in I-city. Cronbach's α coefficient was calculated to verify the reliability of the research instruments, and pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The results of this study are as follows. First, childcare teachers' communication skills and introspection intelligence all had a statistically significant positive correlation with parent-teacher communication. Second, both childcare teachers' communication skills and self-reflection intelligence were found to be variables that affect parent-teacher communication, and self-reflection intelligence was found to have a relatively greater influence on parent-teacher communication skills than communication skills.

Do Childcare Teachers Evaluate Children's Weight Status More Accurately Than Parents? A Brief Report.

Parents' underestimation of young children's weight can reduce their engagement and readiness to implement changes in children's diet and physical activity. Childcare teachers can support parents' identification of children at risk for being overweight only if they can accurately do this themselves. Quantitative, cross-sectional study. Fifteen kindergartens near Lisbon, Portugal. 319 parents, 32 teachers (47.5% and 100% response rate, respectively), and 319 children. Caregivers classified the children's weight, considering their height and age as underweight, healthy weight, or overweight; children's body mass index (BMI) status for age and sex was assessed. Differences in caregivers' accuracy of children's weight perception were assessed. Multilevel multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the predictors of the accuracy of teachers' and parents' weight perception as a binary outcome. The proportion of children with overweight correctly assessed differed significantly (P = 0.004) between teachers (31.1%) and parents (17.5%). The child's BMI percentile was the only significant positive predictor for both caregivers' weight perception accuracy (P < 0.001 and P = 0.004, for parents and teachers, respectively), holding the child's age and sex constant. Although childcare teachers were better raters than parents when evaluating children's weight status, the percentage of children with overweight that childcare teachers misclassified was still relatively high.

보육교사의 총근무시간과 스트레스 반응에 따른 휴게시간의 매개효과

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between working hours, break time, and stress response among childcare teachers. We hypothesized that break time could help alleviate the negative impact of long working hours on stress levels among childcare teachers. We measured stress response across four sub-dimensions: emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physical. We collected data from 362 childcare teachers working in various daycare centers (e.g., national and corporate, private and home day care centers) in the Gyeonggi-do area. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and a stepwise regression model using SPSS 28 and JAMOVI. Our results show that working hours were positively associated with all four dimensions of stress response, indicating that longer working hours can lead to increased stress in all domains. However, when we included break time in the analysis, the association between working hours and behavioral/physical stress response was no longer significant. For emotional and cognitive stress response, the working hour coefficient remained significant but decreased in magnitude. Additionally, we found a direct negative effect of break time on stress, suggesting that taking breaks can help alleviate stress across all four dimensions. The results of this study are meaningful in that they provided basic data and ideas on the direction of institutional development for this, hoping that the need for rest time and the working environment for childcare facilities will be re-examined.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of the daycare center director's respect for teachers' rights as an institutional factor that alleviates the burnout of childcare teachers at daycare centers and promotes teachers' desire for self-development.&#x0D; Methods An electronic survey was conducted on 345 childcare teachers working at daycare centers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The collected data were subjected to frequency analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis to verify mediating effects using the SPSS 25.0 program.&#x0D; Results As a result of the study, first, looking at the level of respect for teacher rights of daycare center directors by sub-factors, it was found in the order of operation autonomy, operation participation right, status guarantee right, and working environment right. Second, the respect for teacher rights of the head of the daycare center was positively correlated with the self-development needs of childcare teachers, and negatively correlated with the exhaustion of childcare teachers. Third, there was a significant mediating effect of the exhaustion of childcare teachers in the effect of the director's respect for teacher rights on the self-development needs of childcare teachers. Therefore, it can be said that the respect of teacher rights of the head of the daycare center directly affects the self-development needs of childcare teachers, and indirectly affects the self-development needs by reducing the exhaustion of childcare teachers.&#x0D; Conclusions This study is meaningful in that it objectively proved the value of respecting teacher rights of daycare center directors as a significant variable predicting the reduction of exhaustion of childcare teachers and the promotion of self-development needs. Based on the results of this study, we expect the daycare center director's efforts to reconsider the perception of respect for teacher rights, as well as financial support to support it.

In order to help the healthy development of infants and young children, the role of childcare teachers who affect infants and young children is important. However, the high turnover rate of childcare teachers can lead to a deterioration in the quality of childcare services. In this study, in order to lower the turnover rate of childcare teachers, emotional intelligence was noted as the cause of turnover intention. In addition, the mediating role of job stress and job satisfaction was verified to identify the process through which the relationship between emotional intelligence and turnover intention is connected. In this study, 224 childcare teachers working in daycare centers were surveyed, and 203 of them were used for analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the emotional intelligence of childcare teachers had a significant effect on turnover intention. In addition, it was found that job stress and job satisfaction had a significant partial mediating effect between emotional intelligence and turnover intention. The theoretical implications of this study confirmed the theoretical model predicting the effect of emotional intelligence on turnover intention. Also, the sequential process of emotional intelligence affecting turnover intention through job stress and job satisfaction was identified. These results are meaningful in that they provide practical implications for preparing a plan to reduce the turnover intention of childcare teachers. Based on these research results, the limitations of this study and future research directions were presented.
