본 연구는 유치원 현장의 직무체험을 통해 나타나는 예비유아교사의 직업에 대한 기대 및 성취에 관한 의미를 탐색하는 것이 목적이다. 연구대상은 경기도 P시에 위치한 3년제 대학에 재학 중인 유아교육과 1학년 15명이다. 4주 동안 실시된 직무체험프로그램을 마친 후에 예비유아교사에게 나타난 성취에 대한 의미를 질문지와 면담을 통해 알아보았다. 연구결과, 첫째, 예비유아교사들의 직무체험프로그램에 대한 기대는 수업준비, 수업실행, 일상생활지도 시 교사 역할의 실제를 알고 배우고자 하는 것이었다. 둘째, 실제로 직무체험프로그램에서 경험한 것으로는 수업준비와 실행, 일상생활지도 외에도 유아의 발달적 특징, 개인차, 놀이방식의 차이 등을 보고 유아관련 지식을 체험했으며, 학급운영과 부모상담 및 돌봄에 이르기까지 유아교사직의 업무가 생각보다 많은 일들을 감당해야 함을 알게 되었다고 밝혔다. 마지막으로 직무체험프로그램을 마친 후 성취한 것에 대해서 예비유아교사들은 유아교사직의 실제를 체험함으로써 유아와의 행복한 시간만이 있는 것이 아니라 유아교사의 업무가 과중함을 알게 되었기에 스스로 보람을 느끼고 성공적으로 해내기 위해서는 체력과 정신력을 기르고 밝고 긍정적이면서도 솔선수범이 되는 교사의 태도를 갖추는 것이 중요하고 학업 뿐 아니라 다양한 경험을 쌓는 것이 중요함을 깨달았다. 이러한 결과는 예비유아교사들의 유아교사직에 대한 확신을 갖고 교사직과 관련된 다양한 직무를 직접 경험할 수 있는 현장에서 직무체험제공의 중요성을 시사한다.
