The purpose of this study was to examine whether there was a difference in the recognition and
teaching strategies for the young child's behavioral problems according to teachers'
socio-demographic variables and ego-resiliency level by analyzing survey responses from 238
teachers of 3, 4, and 5-year-old children. This study found that the group of teachers with the
education level of junior college graduation or higher showed higher degree of recognition of
children’s behavioral problems than the group of teachers with a lower level of education. And the
group of teachers at kindergartens showed a higher degree of recognition of children’s behavioral
problems than the group of teachers at day care centers. Regarding the difference according to the
level of ego-resiliency, the group of higher ego-resiliency showed higher degree of recognition of
children’s behavioral problems than the group of lower ego-resiliency. In terms of teachers’ teaching
strategies for the behavioral problems, differences were recognized at sub-categories. To explain,
differences were recognized in accordance with the teachers’ age and career as well as their
education level and work place; the higher the teachers’ age, career, and education the more often
they used the positive prevention strategy I. And teachers at kindergartens resorted to the negative
response strategies more often than those at day care centers. Finally, the teaching strategies for the
behavioral problems according to the teachers’ ego-resiliency, group differences were seen in all the
sub categories. The result of this study suggested that the need to develop and apply such programs
for pre-service teachers and for teacher reeducation reflect those variables.
