The purpose of this study is to analyze the perception, practices, and requirement of the early childhood
teachers for implementing brain based child design education. The subjects are 421 teachers from
kindergartens of G city, J city, and I city at Jeolla-bukdo. The research tools are questionnaires used at
the study of child design development(Lee Jong-gil, 2015) and brain based program development(Nam Hyo
Soon, 2013), modified and supplemented appropriately for the purpose of this study. The results are as
follows. First, as of the perception and the reality of the teachers on child design education, 70.8%
thought child design education is of importance, as of the purpose of activity ‘developing talented child
with creativity’ was the most, ‘the role of interactive roles’ as a teacher was thought as the most
important role, ‘development of creativity and problem-solving ability’ was thought to be the most positive
effec. Second, for the reality of implementing the application of child design education activity, once in a
week and 20-30 minutes of duration was the most, and ‘selecting themes according to the curriculum’s
themes using arts activities of Nuri curriculu was the most. Also, as of a motivation’ having a talk ‘while
showing designs about the on-going themes’ was the most. Third, as of the requirement about the
development of brain based child design acitivity program, ‘design contents composition considering the
child's interest’ was most considered, Also, they hoped to use games that consider various design fields,
and operation time of wish was mostly 30-40 minutes. The operation term of wish was ‘all year if the
child is interested’, and 84.1% said yes to the inclination to participate in teacher education. Based on
these results, the study is meaningful in that it found out the perception and the reality of teachers on
child design education and that it analyzed the requirements for the brain based child design education
