The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for improving the creativity and personality of early childhood teachers by examining the social perception of creativity and personality of early childhood teachers through keyword network analysis.
Based on the Big Data provided by Textom, we collected raw DATA with the keyword ‘early childhood teacher + creativity + personality’. The collected data were subjected to a first and second refinement process, and 200 keywords were selected based on the extracted word frequency. A 1-mode matrix was created and a keyword network analysis was conducted.
As a result of the research, it was found that ‘education’, ‘teacher’, ‘personality’, and ‘creativity’ were common keywords in the social awareness of creativity and personality of early childhood teachers. The results of this study suggest that the social awareness of creativity and personality of early childhood teachers is related to factors related to teacher education (education, teacher, program, professor), creativity and personality related factors (creativity, science, play), personality related factors (personality, parents), It was closely related. Based on these results, we suggested implications for the support for the improvement of creativity and personality of early childhood teachers.
In the future research, it is proposed not only to grasp the tendency, but also to introduce various programs related to creativity and personality in the field of early childhood education
