국문초록

1990년대 이후 대부분의 직업군에서 그리고 도처에서 전문성 개념이 강조되고 있으며, 보육에서도 예외는 아니다. 특히, 보육이 공적인 영역의 책무로 인식되기 시작하면서, 보육의 질에 대한 기대와 관심이 높아졌고, 보육교사의 전문성 강화가 보육의 질을 보장하기 위한 핵심정책이 되었다. 따라서 보육의 질은 보육교사의 전문성과 자연스럽게 함께 논의되고 있다. 이제 보육교사의 전문성은 국가정 책에서, 학문에서, 그리고 실천의 측면에서 하나의 담론으로 형성되고 있으며, 시장, 소비자, 국가 등 의 관점에서 두 개의 범주로 재해석되고 있다. 하나는, 사회변화에 따라 보육교사가 함양해야 할 전문 성도 새롭게 변화한다고 해석하는 관점이다. 이 관점에서는 국가의 전문성 지향 정책을 보육교사의 전문성 확보를 위한 조장과정으로 해석한다. 다른 하나는 국가전문성 개념을 보육교사를 통제하는 기 제로 해석하는 관점이다. 국가의 전문성 개념은 수행성, 자격강화와 지위향상, 표준화 등을 강조함으 로써 보육교사의 전문성에서 중요한 요소들인 사랑, 헌신, 열정 등의 감정적인 요소를 배제할 수 있으 며, 학력주의와 계층화를 초래하고, 결과적으로 국가의 지배를 한층 강화하는 결과를 초래하는 것으로 해석한다. 이제 보육분야에 종사하는 모든 사람들은 전문성 담론이 어떻게 사용되고 작용하는가에 대 한 깊이 있는 이해를 해야 할 때가 되었다. 최근의 국가 중심의 보육의 전문성 강조는 사회경제적 필 요성에 기인한 것이다. 따라서 사회경제적 상황이 바뀌면, 보육의 전문성에 대한 관심이나 방향이 달 라질 수 있다. 그러므로 실천가로서 그리고 전문가로서 보육교사는 국가의 표준을 따르는 수준 이상 의, 정부규제와 맞설 수 있는 혹은 정부와 협상할 수 있는 능력을 키울 필요가 있다.

Since 1990s, professionalism has been emphasized in most of professions, childcare is no exception. As childcare become accepted as public responsibility, the expectation and concern are concentrated in quality of childcare and a core policy to secure quality of childcare is to strengthen professionalism of childcare workforce. Therefore, quality of childcare and professionalism of childcare workforce seem to merge without difficulty at first sight. Today, professionalism of childcare workforce is a discourse in the state policy, academy, and practice. This paper has illustrated professionalism discourses of childcare workforce as a conceptual issue. But, the concepts of professionalism since 1990s have been reinterpreted from market, consumer, and the state in two categories. One is professionalism of childcare workforce must be changed because the society changes, professionalism of childcare workforce is secured by these changes that the state leads. The other is the government professionalism discourse emphasizes performativity, qualification, standardization excludes other professionalism discourses and acts as mechanism of control. Thus, now it is time for us all working in childcare to develop further understanding of how discourses operate and the way in which we use them.
