Abstract:
Objectives The purposes of this study are to explore latent profiles of childcare teachers with play support competence (PSC) and to describe each latent profile characteristic. Methods The present study conducted a survey to a total of 338 childcare teachers who were working childcare center in metropolitan. We composed PSC of childcare teacher into cognitive, affective and practical competence, and analyzed latent profiles according to their PSC level. We analyzed latent profile, which is a person-centered approach, and based on the results, we categorized the PSC profile of childcare teachers and defined their characteristics. Results The results revealed that we classified five PSC profiles: the ‘lowest PSC profile’, which had very low levels of cognitive, affective, and practical competence related to play support, was 4.14% of all childcare teachers, the ‘low PSC profile’, which had relatively low cognitive, affective, and practical competence levels, was 19.23% of all, the ‘medium PSC profile’, which had average level of each competence, was 37.28% of all, the ‘high PSC profile’, which had relatively high level of each competence, was 22.78% of all, and the ‘highest PSC profile, which had very high level of each competence, was 16.57% of all. Conclusions Based on the results, this study suggests that there are various groups according to the level of PSC within the childcare teacher group, rather than considering the childcare teacher as the ‘cohort group’ in relation to PSC. We also suggest that customized approach considering the profile characteristics related to PSC is required.
