A Study on the Relationship Between Childcare Teachers' Teaching-Efficacy, Burnout and Failure Tolerance

Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of childcare teachers' teaching efficacy, burnout and failure tolerance. To do this, data was collected through surveys targeting childcare teachers in the Seoul area, and a total of 419 questionnaires was used in the final analyses. Data was analyzed by using the SPSS 21 program. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were performed. The results are as follows: Firstly, it was found that as childcare teachers' teaching-efficacy increased, burnout decreased, and failure tolerance increased. Secondly, sub-factors of teaching-efficacy had a negative impact on sub-factors of burnout and a positive impact on sub-factors of failure tolerance. These research findings intend to provide fundamental data that can assist in increasing teaching-efficacy.
