본 연구는 유치원 교재교구의 제작, 구입, 활용 현황을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 409 개 유치원에 근무하는 409명의 유치원 교사에게 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사는응답자의 일반적 현황, 제작 및 구입 현황, 활용 현황의 3개 영역 22개 문항으로 구성되었으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 20.0프로그램을 활용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, 카이 검증, t-test, ANOVA, Fisher’s 정확 검정을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 유치원 교재교구는 주로 교사가 계획하여 제작하는 것으로 나타났고, 교재교구 제작 시 시간 부족이 가장 큰 어려움이었다. 교재교구 구입 시 의사결정 주체는 공립유치원은 교사 개인이나 교사 간 협의가 많은 반면 사립유치원은 원장(감)이나 원장(감)과 교사의 협의에 이루어지는 것으로 나타났으며 통계적으로유의미한 차이가 있었다. 교재교구 구입 시 문제점은 교육내용에 적합한 교재교구의 부재, 고가의 가격 등으로 나타났다. 이와 더불어 교재교구의 활용 및 관리는 잘 되고 있는 것으로나타났으며, 세척 및 소독빈도는 실제 이루어지는 것보다 이상적으로는 더 많이 이루어지는것이 적절하다고 응답하였다. 또한 교재교구 관리 대장 사용 시 불편사항으로는 교재교구의파손 및 분실된 부분에 대한 파악의 어려움이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the current status of manufacture, purchase and utilization on kindergarten learning materials. For this study, the survey was operated on-line questionaries for 409 teachers in 409 kindergartens. In order to analyze the collect data, frequency, chi-square, t-test, ANOVA, fisher’s exact test were used. The results in this study were as follows. First, the current status of manufacture and purchase showed that teachers mainly were planned and made learning materials. They deeply troubled by lack of time for making the learning materials. For the public kindergartens, teachers purchased learning materials; however, for the private kindergartens, principals purchased them in consultation with teachers. Also, there were many problems to purchase learning materials like inappropriate things and high price, etc. Second, the current status of utilization showed that there were proper in kindergartens but teachers demanded more often to wash and disinfect frequency than and actual state. And they were in trouble with knowing which learning materials were broken and lost partly by the learning material documents.
