ABSTRACT

This study examines the effects of child temperament on peer play interactions and teacher-child interactions. The mediating effect of teacher-child interactions on the path from child temperament to peer play interactions is also examined. The research makes use of the big data in 5th wave(2012) from Panel Study on Korean Children of Korea Institute of Child Care and Education as fundamental research. To analyze the data, SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 16.0 are used. The results are as follows. First, child temperament has an effect on the peer play interactions and teacher-child interactions had an effect on peer play interactions. Second, chid temperament does not show an effect on teacher-child interactions. Third, teacher-child interaction did not have a mediating effect on the path from child temperament to peer play interactions. With the results shown in the research, child temperament and teacher-child interactions have influence on peer play interaction directly. The suggestion is made that teachers need to interact with children considering their temperaments as important personal traits. For the future study, the research needs to be expanded with the variables including meaningful grown-ups with the concern for the children and physical environment including kindergartens and the correlations among them need to be analyzed .
