이 연구는 유아동작교육에 대한 교사들의 인식(실시현황, 지도계획, 교육방법, 교육효과)을 알아보고자 전라북도 G연수원에서 교육 받은 유치원 교사를 대상으로 설문조사를 하여 다음과 같은 연구 결과를 도출하였다. 첫째, 유아교사들은 유아동작교육의 개념을 자신의 의사를 표현하는 신체적 언어활동으로 인식하고 있었으며, 동작교육을 통해 유아의 신체가 발달한다고 인식하였다. 유아동작교육 실시현황에서 동작교육의 실시횟수는 한주에 3-4회, 진행시간은 10-20분이 적당하다고 인식하였으며, 동작교육을 지도하기에 적당하다고 느끼는 유아 수는 10-20명인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아동작교육에 대한 교육과정을 수립할 때 특정 무용활동을 고려하여 재구성하였으며, 동작교육의 사전준비는 보통으로 하였고, 동작교육계획 수립 시 도서를 보통으로 참고하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 유아동작교육의 방법으로 ‘모방 동작과 창의적 동작을 동일하게 실시’하는 교사가 가장 많았으며, 많이 사용하는 동작유형은 ‘조직적 동작’이었다. 동작교육 동기유발 방법으로 ‘음악과 언어’를 주로 사용하였으며, 재교육 후 동작활동을 조금 변화해 지도하였고, 한국무용?디스코동작?민속무용?TV유아 프로그램을 가끔씩 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 동작교육 시 유아들이 적극적으로 표현하였으며, 남?여 표현의 차이는 여아의 반응 정도가 남아의 반응정도보다 높게 나타났고, 창의적 동작에 가장 많은 흥미를 보였다. 효과적인 유아동작교육을 위한 교사의 요구사항은 ‘재교육과정에서 유아동작교육에 대한 실기교육’이었다. 따라서 교사에게 창의적인 유아동작교육에 대한 실기교육을 제공할 방안을 모색해 보아야 할 것이다.
This research aim to investigate recognition of the early childhood education teachers on physical education for children, concretely, present condition, education plan, methods of education, and effectiveness of education. So, the survey was conducted among the education teachers educated at Geumma teaching center, Jeollabuk-do, Korea, and the following results were found. first, Early childhood teachers perceived the concept of early childhood movement education as a physical language activity expressing their own intention and recognized that the child 's body developed through movement education. In the present state of infant movement education, it was thought that the number of the implementation of the movement education was 3 to 4 times per week and the execution time was 10 to 20 minutes, the number of infants who felt fit to teach movement instruction was 10-20. Second, it was reconstructed considering the specific dance activities when establishing curriculum for early childhood movement education. Pre - preparation of movement education was made as usual, and it was found that the book was used as usual when establishing movement education plan. Third, as the method of early childhood movement education, 'the same type of imitation movement and creative movement' was the most common. The most frequently used movement type was 'systematic movement'. 'Music and language' were mainly used as the motivation inducement method for the movement education, and the movement activities were slightly changed after the reeducation and the Korean dance, disco movement, folk dancing, TV infant program were used occasionally. Fourth, children actively expressed in the movement education, and the difference of male and female expressions was degree of female reaction was higher than that of boy, and showed the most interest in creative movements. The teachers' requirements for effective early childhood movement education were 'practical education on early childhood movement education in the process of re-education'. Therefore, the measure must be sought to provide teachers with practical education about creative physical education for children. Therefore, it is necessary to look for a way to provide practical instruction on creative infant movement education to teachers.
