Abstract

The purpose of research is analyzing the ecological variables on the effect of child care teacher's happiness. The data was collected by the survey of the happiness factors and ecological variables of child care teachers. The results are listed below. First, of organismic variable, the age and the educational background of child care teacher showed discrimination one's happiness. Second, of micro system variable, the marital status is the only thing that affect the happiness. Third, of meso system variable, the teachers who are highly interact on each other such as, child to teacher and parents to teacher are much happier than others. Finally, of the outside system variable, the teachers who are working at the better working environment and good quality of duty are much happier than others.

이 연구는 보육교사의 행복에 영향을 미치는 생태체계 변인을 분석하고자 하였다. 따라서 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 제주도 보육교사를 모집단으로 선정하고, 편의표본추출법을 통해 제주지역 사립 보육교육기관의 보육교사를 대상으로 설문지를 배포하여 분석하였다. 조사에 참여한 보육교사는 총 200명으로 불성실한 응답을 보인 20명의 자료를 제외한 총 180명의 자료를 SPSS 20.0 프로그램으로 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 연구결과 첫째, 유기체 변인 중 보육교사의 연령과 학력은 보육교사의 행복에 차이를 보였다. 즉 35세 이상의 보육교사는 다른 연령에 비해 행복이 높으며, 대졸 이상의 보육교사도 다른 학력에 비해 행복이 높다는 점이다. 둘째, 미시체계 변인 중 결혼여부만 행복에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 기혼자인 보육교사는 미혼자 보육교사에 비해 행복이 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 셋째, 중간체계 변인 중 유아-교사 상호작용이 높을수록, 부모-교사 상호작용이 높을수록 보육교사의 행복수준이 높았다. 넷째, 외체계 변인 중 근무환경과 직무자체 특성이 좋을수록 보육교사의 행복수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 행복한 보육교사에 대한 지속적인 관심과 근무환경 개선, 처우개선 등과 같은 국가적, 행정적 지원으로 현실적인 개선들이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
