The objective of the present study was to examine the meaning of ‘good teaching’ perceived by kindergarten teachers. For this study, we analyzed journals and interview data collected from five kindergarten teachers attending the Graduate School of Education of G University in the capital area. According to the result of this study, first, the teachers perceived ‘teaching receiving and respecting children,’ ‘joyful teaching,’ ‘teaching with active interaction’ and ‘teaching with learning’ to be good teaching. This result suggests that the meaning of good teaching perceived by kindergarten teachers is ‘teaching with joyful learning rather than teaching with joy,’ ‘teaching based on plans rather than teaching bound to plans’ and ‘good teaching rather than skillful teaching.’
