Abstract:

This study aims to determine the relationship between playfulness and self-efficacy among early childhood teachers. Playfulness is a personality trait that underlies an individual's tendency to be intrinsically motivated, have a clear orientation toward pleasure, and participate spontaneously and without restrictions. The method used in this research is quantitative research methods with a correlational research design. The tool to measure playfulness is the Adult Playfulness Traits Scale (APTS), which consists of 19 items and Norwegian Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (NTSES) to measure teacher’s self-efficacy, which consists of 24 items. The subjects of this study (N=52 people) were early childhood teachers. The correlation statistical test in this study uses Pearson product-moment correlation to measure the relationship between variables through the correlation coefficient. The results revealed a significant correlation coefficient between playfulness and teacher's self-efficacy r = -0.398 and p = 0.003 < 0.01, indicating negative relationship between early childhood teachers’ playfulness and teacher’s self-efficacy. In other words, the higher the playfulness, the lower the teacher's self-efficacy among teachers. Hence, the importance of playfulness for teachers to build warm relationships with students in the classroom so that students feel safe, is inseparable from teacher competence which is based on beliefs about their own abilities or self-efficacy.

Abstract:

This study attempted to investigate the mediating effect of early childhood teacher's empowerment in the effect of the principal's leadership type on the play support effectiveness of early childhood teachers. The subjects of this study included a total of 209 early childhood teachers. The collected data were frequency analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and path analysis using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 programs. As a major result, first, there was a significant positive correlation between the director's leadership, the empowerment of early childhood teachers, and the effectiveness of play support. Second, the director's directive leadership had a direct negative effect on early childhood teachers' sense of play support efficacy. Persuasive leadership had a direct effect on early childhood teachers' play support efficacy and an indirect effect through empowerment. Delegated leadership showed an indirect effect on early childhood teachers' sense of play support efficacy through the mediation of early childhood teachers' empowerment. In other words, the partial mediating effect of empowerment was shown in the effect of the director's persuasive leadership on the early childhood teacher's play support efficacy, and the full mediating effect of empowerment was shown in the effect of the delegated leadership on the early childhood teacher's play support efficacy. In conclusion, these results suggest that in order to increase the play support effectiveness of early childhood teachers, an approach effort is needed to understand that the role of early childhood teacher's empowerment varies for each type of leadership of the principal.

Abstract:

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of early childhood teacher job crafting in the director's authentic leadership influence on early childhood teacher's play teaching efficacy. Methods To this end, an online survey was conducted among 324 early childhood teachers from kindergartens and daycare centers located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. In addition, descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and Sobel Test were conducted to analyze the collected data. Results The results of this study are as follows. First, a higher director's authentic leadership was shown to be correlated with increased early childhood teacher's play teaching efficacy and job crafting. Moreover, the play teaching efficacy increased with the early childhood teacher's job crafting. In other words, it was shown that the director's authentic leadership and the early childhood teachers' job crafting and play teaching efficacy had a meaningful correlation. Second, it was demonstrated that early childhood teachers' play teaching efficacy had been positively affected by the director's authentic leadership. Conclusions Furthermore, early childhood teachers' job crafting was found to have a mediating effect that increases the static influence on play teaching efficacy. Therefore, it can be stated that job crafting acts as a variable that can improve play teaching efficacy in the procedure where director authentic leadership impacts early childhood teachers' play teaching efficacy. These findings indicate that in order to improve early childhood teachers' play teaching efficacy, directors and teachers need to collaborate together and make an effort to increase early childhood teachers' job crafting as well as directors' authentic leadership.

Abstract:

In policy, teachers are persistently positioned as central to improving the quality of early childhood education and care (ECEC). They are frequently the targets for policy reform that proactively seeks to shape teaching priorities and practices. The constructions of teachers in policy shape notions of ideal professional identities, opening up spaces for certain identities and closing spaces for others. This critical discourse analysis of seven key ECEC policy texts assembles a range of discourses to identify and critically examine two prevalent and distinct 'ideal' professional identities for early childhood teachers: The Professional and The Kaiako.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to select teacher cooperation and grit as variables that affect early childhood teachers' teacher efficacy and to confirm the mediating role of grit in the relationship between teacher cooperation and teacher efficacy. For this purpose, data were collected using the ‘Teacher Cooperation Scale’, ‘Teacher Efficacy Scale’, and ‘Grit-O Scale’ targeting 241 early childhood teachers working at early childhood education institutions located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program to analyze the mediating effect of grit in the relationship between teacher cooperation and teacher efficacy. As a result of the study, in the correlation between early childhood teachers' teacher cooperation, teacher efficacy, and grit, all three variables showed a significant positive correlation with each other. In addition, grit had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between early childhood teachers' teacher cooperation and teacher efficacy. This means that teacher cooperation affects teacher efficacy, and grit can contribute to this as a psychological competency. In order to improve the efficacy of early childhood teachers, efforts are needed to enhance grit through cooperative relationships with fellow teachers. To this end, various suggestions are discussed, such as policy guaranteeing opportunities and time to autonomously participate in teacher learning communities.

Abstract:

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate climate change literacy and perception on climate change education according to early childhood teachers’ background variables. Methods This study conducted survey research targeting at 256 early childhood teachers in Gwangju metropolitan city and JeollaNamdo from July 10 to August 18, 2023. Data were analyzed using frequency analysis, descriptive statistic analysis, one-way ANOVA, and χ2 test. Results There were significant differences in all of the sub-factors of early childhood teachers’ climate change literacy including climate change perception, climate change knowledge, and climate change attitude, according to teacher’s background variables. Early childhood teachers’ perception on climate change education also differed significantly according to teacher’s background variables. In particular, significant differences were noticeable depending on the type of working institution and whether or not to take climate change classes, such as the well-equipped climate change literacy of teachers at national and public kindergartens as well as teachers taking climate change classes. This suggests that in order for climate change education to be actively conducted, it is important for early childhood teachers to acquire knowledge and information about climate change. Conclusions This study is meaningful in providing basic data for the development of climate change teacher education programs by investigating climate change literacy and perception on climate change education according to early childhood teachers’ background variables.

Second, the grit and teacher efficacy of early childhood teachers had an effect on job satisfaction, and grit was identified as a factor that had a relatively large effect on job satisfaction. Among the grit's sub-factors, passion, persistence, and continuity of interest had a significant effect on job satisfaction, and among teacher efficacy, a sense of calling and teaching ability had a significant effect on job satisfaction. In particular, grit had a relatively greater influence on job satisfaction than teacher efficacy. Conclusions Grit and teacher efficacy can play an important role as variables affecting job satisfaction of early childhood teachers, so measures should be sought to increase the positive effects of grit and teacher efficacy of early childhood teachers.

Abstract:

This study aimed to explore practical strategies for enhancing the competencies of preservice early childhood teachers in teacher–child interactions by examining the mediating effect of teaching competencies on the influence of emotional intelligence on teacher–child interactions. A total of 180 preservice early childhood teachers were enrolled in early childhood education programs in Gyeonggi and Incheon. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, path analysis, and mediation analysis were conducted using structural equation modeling for data collection and analysis. The study results revealed the following key findings: First, the emotional intelligence and teaching competencies of preservice early childhood teachers directly influence teacher–child interactions. Second, the emotional intelligence of preservice early childhood teachers indirectly affects teacher–child interactions through teaching competencies. Emotional intelligence was confirmed to have an indirect effect on teacher–child interactions through teaching competencies, which is greater than its direct effect. In conclusion, these findings indicate that education aimed at improving emotional intelligence and teaching competencies is essential for enhancing teacher–child interactions among preservice early childhood teachers.

Abstract:

Children explore shapes in their daily lives. Understanding geometry is needed in children’s daily life and help them to develop their ability in solving problem. However, in Indonesia, learning math in the context of early childhood education merely focuses on learning numbers. Therefore, it is possible that teachers do not have sufficient knowledge in teaching geometry. For this reason, it is important to find out early childhood education teachers’ and prospective teachers’ understanding about geometric shapes. This study used descriptive qualitative approach to answer the research question of how early childhood education teachers and prospective teachers understand geometric shapes. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews then analysed using thematic analysis. Findings showed that early childhood education teachers and prospective teachers have lack of understanding about geometric shapes particularly in their content knowledge of 2-dimensional geometry, how to teach and assess children’s learning in geometry. It is suggested that early childhood education teachers as well as prospective teachers improve their knowledge about geometry. Early childhood education schools and universities are also expected to provide professional development and explore further other areas of mathematics, such as geometry not just focusing on numbers.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to provide a basis for sustainable development education in early childhood education by examining the decision-making structure of early childhood curriculum management as the governance structure of ESG related to sustainable development. The results of examining the five factors in the decision-making structure of early childhood curriculum management, such as children, parents, national level curriculum, directors of early childhood education institutions, and teachers are as follows. Children are divided into maturationism, behaviorism, and constructivism according to the perspective of viewing the development of children, and their influence on the decision-making structure is determined. Based on the stewardship code, parents' demands are reflected in the national level curriculum and directors of early childhood education institutions to affect the decision-making structure. The national level curriculum affects the decision-making structure through a re-understanding of the play-centered curriculum that reflects the educational backgrounds and constructivist educational beliefs of early childhood teachers. Directors of early childhood education institutions affect the decision-making structure according to the type of institution. Finally, teachers affect the decision-making structure according to the process of reforming the national level curriculum and educational beliefs. Therefore, it was discussed that children, parents, national level curriculum, directors of early childhood education institutions, and teachers can affect the decision-making structure of early childhood curriculum according to their perspectives.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to explore early childhood teachers' perceptions of borderline infants. To this end, seven early childhood teachers currently working at early childhood education institutions were analyzed using FGI (Focus Group Interview) to identify which infants are recognized as borderline infants, what difficulties they have in their relationship with borderline infants, and what they think are the ways to help borderline infants adjust to kindergarten smoothly. As a result of the study, first, as implications for borderline infants, early childhood teachers considered ‘unbearable ambiguous infants’, ‘infants who cannot communicate at all’, and ‘infants who have difficulty establishing social relationships’ as borderline infants. Second, the necessary conditions for borderline infants were ‘the teacher's ungiving mind’, ‘communication and cooperation with guardians’, and ‘support systems inside and outside kindergartens’. The results of this study can be used as basic data to find ways to support young children's adaptation to kindergarten by understanding the meaning teachers experience in the process of guiding borderline infants in the kindergarten field.
