한국판 유아교사용 교사효능감 척도 개발 및 타당화 연구

The Development and Validation Study of The Korean Version of Teacher Efficacy Scale for Early Childhood Teachers

본 연구의 목적은 Bandura(2006)의 교사 자기 효능감 척도(TSES)를 번안하고 국내유아교육의 맥락적 적합성을 고려하여 한국판 유아교사용 교사효능감 척도를 개발하고 타당도와 신뢰도를 검증하는데 있다. 예비조사에서는 문헌분석과 번역-역번역, 내용타당도 검증을 통해 한국판 유아교사용 교사효능감 척도의 구성개념 및 문항을 탐색하였으며, 예비조사 결과 6개 구성개념, 28개 문항의 예비시안이 개발하였다. 본 조사에서는 한국판 유아교사용 교사효능감 척도의 척도양호도를 검증하기 위해 유아교사 305명을 대상으로 탐색적 요인분석, 확인적 요인분석, 신뢰도 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 한국판 유아교사용 교사효능감 척도는 6개 구성개념, 28개 문항으로 개발되었으며, Cronbach’s α 계수는 .96으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 한국판 유아교사용 교사효능감 척도는 유아교사의 교사효능감을 측정하는데 적절한 척도임을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a Korean version of the teacher self-efficacy scale for early childhood teachers by adapting Bandura's (2006) teacher self-efficacy scale (TSES) and considering the contextual suitability of early childhood education in Korea, and to verify its validity and reliability. In the preliminary investigation, the constructs and questions of the Korean version of the teacher efficacy scale for early childhood teachers were explored through literature analysis, translation-back-translation, and content validity verification. As a result of the preliminary investigation, a preliminary draft of 6 constructs and 28 questions was developed. In main survey, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted on 305 early childhood teachers to verify the scale goodness of the Korean version of the teacher efficacy scale for early childhood teachers. As a result of the study, the Korean version of the teacher efficacy scale for early childhood teachers was developed with 6 constructs and 28 questions, and the Cronbach’s α coefficient was found to be .96. Therefore, the Korean version of the teacher efficacy scale for early childhood teachers developed in this study was found to be an appropriate scale for measuring the teacher efficacy of early childhood teachers.
