초록

Infancy begins to perceive the surrounding environment, but fails to be free from linguistic self-expression. Thus, the artistic experience, which explores richly through using a sense, gives a help to toddlers' various development. The age of children who are sent to educational institution is getting lower owing to a primary care-giver's entry into society, a nuclear family pattern, and an interest in early educa- tion recently in the home of our country. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to examine the recog- nition and the approach to the art activity that a child care teacher has at a child care center where toddlers can experience the art activity for the first time. For this, it theoretically considered the basic competency and role in a child care teacher, and inspected with dividing a two-year-old toddler's feature into physical, emotional and cognitive characteristics. Also, the in-depth interview was progressed targeting two-year-old homeroom teachers at 5 child care centers where are located in Seoul, as to which idea the child care teachers have on art activity for toddlers, to how they plan art activity, and further to which thought they have about developmental art activity. As a result of the research, the child-care center teachers are perceiv- ing the art activity for toddlers importantly, and considered that the interaction between physical environ- ment and a teacher is a key element in the art activity for toddlers. Child care teachers selected materials in consideration of the material exploration, stability and originality through using internet, book and SNS, which will plan the art activity for toddlers. Also, in terms of the developmental art activity for toddlers, they emphasized the importance of the development in diverse programs, of the improvement in institutional as- pect, of the creativity in teachers, and of the extension in thinking. However, they mentioned that it is diffi- cult to find the data collection and the empowering method regarding this art activity for toddlers at the current stage of the child-care-teacher training and continuing education. Therefore, there is a need to im- mediately develop a variety of teaching-learning methods, educational materials and the teacher training programs in terms of the art activity for toddlers that reflected this voice of the field.
