Abstract

This study examined the effect of self-esteem of pre-infant teachers on self-elasticity, emotional regulation, and empathy. The subjects of this study were 230 university students from W University's Early Childhood Education Department in location I. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0. In addition, in each sub-variable, self-elasticity was found to have the greatest positive correlation with positivity, emotional regulation ability with self-emotional regulation ability, and empathy ability with cognitive empathy ability. Second, self-esteem had a significant positive effect on self-elasticity, and among the sub-variables, this study found that general self-concept, self-responsibility, and personal integrity in order were important determinants. Third, self-esteem has an influence on personal integrity in emotional regulation ability. Fourth, as for the effect of self-esteem on empathy ability, it was found that self-assertion had a significant and positive effect on empathy ability. These research results have led to re-awareness of the importance of pre-service early childhood teachers' self-esteem, suggesting that research on various educational activities that can improve self-esteem in the curriculum is needed.

본 연구의 목적은 예비유아교사의 자아존중감이 자아탄력성과 정서조절능력 및 공감능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 데 있다. 연구대상은 I 소재지의 W대학교 유아교육과 대학생 230명을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 자료처리는 SPSS 24.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 예비유아교사의 자아존중감은 자아탄력성과 정서조절능력 및 공감능력에 유의미한 정적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 각각의 하위변인에 있어서 자아탄력성에는 긍정성에 정서조절능력에는 자기정서조절능력에 그리고 공감능력에는 인지적 공감능력에 가장 큰 정적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자아존중감이 자아탄력성에 유의한 정적 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 하위변인 중 일반적 자아개념, 자기책임, 개인적인 성실 순으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 자아존중감이 정서조절능력에 있어서는 개인적인 성실에 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 자아존중감이 공감능력에 미치는 영향은 자기주장이 공감능력에 유의한 정적 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 볼 때 예비유아교사의 자아존중감에 대한 중요성을 재인식하게 되었으며, 교육과정에 있어서 자아존중감을 향상시킬 수 있는 다양한 교육활동 연구가 필요함을 시사하는 사료가 된다.
