The subjects were 255 childcare centers teachers. Questionnaires, which required self-report by the childcare centers teachers, were used to investigate director’s transformational leadership, childcare center teacher’s ego-resiliency and teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships. Analyses were conducted by Pearson Correlation, SEM(Structural Equation Modeling), Bootstrapping, Sobel Test, using of AMOS 10.0, and SPSS 21.0.
 There are three main findings. First, Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) revealed that the director's transformational leadership influenced on the childcare center teacher’s ego-resiliency. Second, the childcare center teacher’s ego-resiliency influenced on the teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships. Third, the director's transformational leadership influenced indirectly on the teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships by the teacher’s ego-resiliency, but not directly.
 This study is important in that it identified the relationships between director’s transformational leadership, teacher’s ego-resiliency, and teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships. The findings can be utilized to enhance teachers' self-efficacy in building relationships with young children via improving their ego-resiliency.","PeriodicalId":481516,"journal":{"name":"幼兒敎育·保育福祉硏究","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subjects of this study were 297 early childhood teachers who were teaching 5-year-old children in Gwangju metropolitan city and Jeollanamdo. This study conducted survey research, and the survey data were analyzed using frequency analysis, descriptive statistic analysis, t test, F test, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study were as follows: First, early childhood teachers’ job stress, young children’s social development, and teacher-child interaction were meaningfully different according to teachers’ background variables such as teachers’ work experience, academic ability, marital status, and the number of overtime work. Second, there was negative correlation between early childhood teachers’ job stress and young children’s social development, between early childhood teachers’ job stress and teacher-child interaction. Third, early childhood teachers’ job stress had a significant negative effect on young children’s social development. Fourth, teacher-child interaction had a mediated effect on the effects of early childhood teachers’ job stress on young children’s social development. This indicates that the negative effects of early childhood teachers’ job stress on young children’s social development can be relieved through teacher-child interaction. It is important before everything for teachers to interact with young children effectively for young children’s social development. As a result, it is significant that this study suggests the method to minimize the negative effects of early childhood teachers’ job stress on young children’s social development by verifying the mediated effect of teacher-child interaction.","PeriodicalId":481516,"journal":{"name":"幼兒敎育·保育福祉硏究","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of the analysis, First, it was difficult for childcare teachers to distinguish whether thiers were originally their role or infringement of rights. Second, teachers said they needed the ‘right to education’. Although they had pride as an expert, they were experiencing identity confusion in the process of performing their role as a teacher the right to education was not clearly specified. Third, teachers said they wanted that the “right to rest” would be guaranteed even during work, and that the right to “logoff” from work after work was needed. Fourth, in order for teachers' rights to be practically guaranteed, a practical system such as legislation to protect teachers' rights had to be established. It was stated that a monitoring system should be introduced to monitor how much teachers' rights are being followed by preparing a monitoring system for day care centers. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that it will be a basic data for finding ways to protect and promote the rights of daycare center teachers.","PeriodicalId":481516,"journal":{"name":"幼兒敎育·保育福祉硏究","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this, a total of 65 children aged 3 and 4 years were selected as the research participants, and they were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group on a classroom basis. The experimental group engaged in Nanta activities twice a week for a total of 16 sessions, with each session lasting 30 minutes. The control group, during the same period, participated in the regular program of the preschool. Before and after the Nanta activity sessions, a Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation (SCBE) assessment was conducted for both groups. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows, including frequency analysis, independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test. and covariate analysis. The results of the study indicated that Nanta activities had a significant effect on overall socio-emotional competence enhancement in preschool children. Furthermore, significant effects on enhancing overall socio-emotional competence, as well as sub-domains including prosocial behavior enhancement and reduction in internal and external behavior problems, were more pronounced in the 3-year-old group compared to the 4-year-old group. By demonstrating the effectiveness of Nanta activities that integrate music and movement in enhancing the socio-emotional competence of 3- and 4-year-old preschool children, this study provides foundational data that can be utilized for the development of programs aimed at promoting socio-emotional development in young children.","PeriodicalId":481516,"journal":{"name":"幼兒敎育·保育福祉硏究","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
