The necessity of joint education between kindergarten and elementary school, and the obstacles to the connection between kindergarten and elementary school A Study on Pre-service Teachers' Perception of Curriculum

This study is a study to investigate the necessity of joint education between kindergarten and elementary school and the perception of pre-service teachers on the curriculum, and a total of 90 pre-service early childhood teachers and 45 pre-primary elementary school teachers were surveyed. As a statistical method, the percentage(%), which is a descriptive statistic, was calculated and used in the study to find out general characteristics from the collected data. The research results are as follows. First, it was found that both kindergarten and elementary school pre-service teachers perceived the need for joint education highly. Second, although there are partial differences in the factors of interference between kindergarten and elementary school, it was found that both pre-service teachers perceived the same factor as an interference factor. Third, it was found that both kindergarten and elementary school pre-service teachers lacked understanding of the curriculum. The purpose of this study is to provide basic data suggesting ways to revitalize kindergarten-linked education in the College of Education in the future.
