There have been continuous discussions on connectivity and the necessity of connectivity between the public
kindergarten teacher appointment examination and preservice education curriculum for early childhood teachers. This study,
therefore, aims to evaluate this connectivity by analyzing the preservice education curriculum for early childhood teachers during the same period and comparing it with the type/form of questions and question data of public kindergarten teacher
appointment examination during the four years of 2013 to 2016. The research questions of this study were as follows: First,
what are the question type and contents of the public kindergarten teacher appointment examination? Second, how connected
are the public kindergarten teacher appointment examination and preservice education curriculum for early childhood teachers?
The question type, format, and evaluation criteria of the general education essay questions and the overall questions in
major curriculum area of early childhood education were analyzed, and the results indicated that for both areas, the most frequent
type of questions were about describing educational principles or standards. Rather than assessing comprehensive thinking,
the questions focused on testing memorized knowledge. According to the analysis, the preservice education curriculum
for early childhood teachers in the Department of Early Childhood Education of Ewha Womans University met the completion
standard required for teachers and the questions appearing in the public kindergarten teacher appointment examination
included questions of diverse subjects. However, certain questions were not included in preservice education curriculum for
early childhood teachers, which should be reflected to the composition of preservice education curriculum for early childhood
teachers.
