그림책 선정기준에 관한 예비유아교사의 인식 조사 = Pre-service Early Childhood Teachers’ Awareness survey on the Picture Book Selection Criteria

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated pre-service early childhood teachers' perceptions of the picture book selection criteria. Forty-four pre-service early childhood teachers who took the 'Children's Literature' class were selected as research participants. The research materials were personal reflection papers, personal presentation contents, discussion contents, and the instructor's class reflection notes, which were analyzed. As a result of this study, pre-service early childhood teachers selected picture books that relieve depression and anxiety, picture books that make the heart happy to read, and picture books about people living precious daily lives as the picture books they were interested in. In addition, pre-service early childhood teachers selected picture books about germs (viruses) that help with hygiene management, picture books that help ‘children communicate naturally with nature,’ and picture books that can 'extend the concept of play.’ The implication of this study is that pre-service early childhood teachers became more interested in picture books through the active process of selecting picture books. The qualitative change in class due to the active participation of pre-service early childhood teachers brought about a change in the teaching methods of the instructors. Based on this, the researcher would like to propose quantitatively and qualitatively expanding the class activities for selecting picture books to help pre-service early childhood teachers have a genuine interest in picture books and have time to discuss interesting picture books during children's literature classes.
