남성 유아교사가 유아, 학부모, 그리고 동료 여성 유아교사와의 관계에서 겪는 어려움 = Difficulties of Male Early Childhood Teachers in Their Relationships with Children, Parents, and Female Fellow Early Childhood Teachers

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 전일제 담임을 맡고 있는 남성 유아교사들이 유아, 학부모, 그리고, 동료 여성 유아교사와의 관계에서, 특히 성(性)의 차이에서 비롯되는 어려움에 초점을 두고 탐색하고자 했다. 서울시와 경기도의 유치원과 어린이집에서 전일제 담임을 맡고 있는 남성 유아교사 4명이 연구 참여자로 선정되었고, 2017년 7월 8일부터 8월 27일까지 약 8주간 연구 참여자별로 4회기에 걸쳐 심층 개별면담을 진행하였다. 수집된 자료는 ‘개방코딩, 범주화, 범주확인’의 세 단계를 걸쳐 반복적 비교분석법을 통해 자료들을 부호화하고 유형화하며 분석했다. 첫째, 남성 유아교사들은 본인들이 담당하는 유아들과의 부정적인 관계를 경험했는데, 유아들이 남성 유아교사에 친숙하지 않았고, 남성의 굵고 큰 목소리에 놀랐거나, 아이들과의 스킨십으로 인해 오해가 생길 수 있기 때문에 일어난 경우들이었다. 둘째, 연구 참여자들은 학부모와의 관계에서 동료 여성 유아교사와는 다른 어려움을 겪고 있었으며, 주로 학부모들이 남성 유아교사에 대해 느끼는 생소함과 거리낌에서 비롯된 경우들이었다. 마지막으로, 연구 참여자들은 동료 여성 유아교사들과의 업무적 그리고 사교적 관계에서 어려움을 겪고 있었는데, 남성과 여성 유아교사들 간의 대화방식과 관심사의 차이로 인한 어려움들이었다. 또한, 동료 여성 유아교사들과의 원활한 관계를 유지하기 위해, 남성이기 때문에 잘 할 것이라는 일들을 떠맡는 것에 대해 불만을 표출할 수 없는 어려움이 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 남성 유아교사들이 유치원과 어린이집에서 겪는 어려움을 이해할 수 있도록 하고, 더 나아가 남성 유아교사가 유치원과 어린이집에서 유아교사의 역할을 원활히 수행할 수 있도록 지원하는 방안을 연구하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of the study was to explore the difficulties of male early childhood teachers who have worked as full-time teachers in their relationships with children, parents, and female fellow early childhood teachers, focusing on gender. The participants of the study were four male early childhood teachers who have worked as a full-time teacher. The in-depth interview was conducted for 8 weeks from 08, July to 27, August, a total of four interviews was done with each participant. Gathered data were analyzed through coding and classifying by using the constant comparison method. The method comprised of open coding, categorization, confirmation of categories. First, male early childhood teachers have experienced difficulties in having relationships with their children, as the children were not familiar with a male teacher, the voice of the male teachers’ was big, and the male teachers did not want to make trouble by touching children. Second, the participants had difficulties with parents in their relationships that are different from female early childhood teachers, mostly because parents were not familiar with male early childhood teachers and felt uncomfortable. Lastly, the participants have experienced difficulties in their relationships with their female fellow early childhood teachers on account of different social skills and work styles, these difficulties were due to different communication skills and communication topics. In addition, in order to keep good relationships with their female teachers, the male teachers could not complain about extra works that females think males would do better than females. The findings of the study can be used to understand the difficulties of male early childhood teachers. Furthermore, this study could serve as a foundational work that helps people study ways to support male early childhood teachers to perform the role of early childhood teachers.
