다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study analyzed the effects of cooperation between childcare teachers and early childhood teachers on inclusion education and early childhood development in 4-year-old inclusion classes in daycare centers. Through regular meetings and in-depth interviews, which took place from March to December 2023, methods of cooperation, role adjustments, curriculum operation, and individual support plans were explored. During this study, it was shown that cooperation between childcare teachers and early childhood teachers with disabilities plays an important role in promoting early childhood development and for effectively supporting social adaptation and interaction, which is the goal of inclusion education. It was also confirmed that the convergence of the play-oriented curriculum operation and individualized education plans were effective in the natural participation and goal achievement of children with disabilities. In the process of cooperation, the mutual feedback system and flexibility in sharing roles contributed to overcome difficulties caused by differences in educational perspectives. It has been shown that the practical flexibility of operating a play-oriented curriculum can have a positive effect on both disabled and general infants. This study emphasized the importance of teacher cooperation to improve the quality of operations of the disability integration group and suggested concrete measures to achieve this
