유아교사의 특성에 따른 창의적 인성과 유아의 창의성 증진을 위한 교사의 역할 수행

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the impacts of creative personality and creativity training on the early childhood teacher's roles in improving young children's creativity. 296 questionnaires were collected and analyzed for teacher's creative personality and the role for children's creativity improvement. The creative personality scale developed by Gough(1979) and the early childhood teacher's role scale developed by Moon(1999) were used. The early childhood teacher's creativity was found to be different by their education level and licenses, which is consistent with existing literature in that creative personality is improved by education. By the same token, we found that the early childhood teacher's creativity is affected by the efforts and training of teachers. The early childhood teacher's roles in improving young children's creativity were affected by both the teacher's creative personality and creativity trainings. Indulgence and Perseverance, Flexibility, Originality, Elaboration, and Fluency were different by the teacher's creative personality. The education and creative training seemed more influential on the teacher's role variables. In sum, the early childhood teacher's creativity and efforts to become more creative positively affect their role when they try to improve the creativity of young children. This reinforces the importance of proper training for future the early childhood teacher' creativity.
