Investigation and Research on the Demands of Parents of Infants Aged 0-3 for the Teaching Staff in Nursery Care Institutions —Taking District A of Qingdao City as an Example

Abstract

In recent years, the national attention towards the construction of the teaching contingent for nursery care services has been escalating annually. Families with multiple children are in an acute exigency for high-caliber teaching staff in nursery care services. Nevertheless, the professional proficiency of the teaching staff engaged in infant nursery care services still cries out for enhancement. Hence, this research zeroes in on parents of infants aged 0-3 as the research subjects and deploys the questionnaire survey method and the interview approach to endeavor to dissect the current state of the parental requirements for the teaching staff in nursery care institutions.

This research principally employs the questionnaire method to probe into the parental requisites for the teaching staff in nursery care institutions and the extant circumstances of the teaching staff in five nursery care institutions in Qingdao City, supplemented by interviews. The findings manifest that there exist both overall and individual variances in the parental demands for the teaching staff in nursery care institutions. With respect to the professional echelon of teachers in nursery care institutions, factors such as the length of service, educational attainment, institutional nature, and the monthly age of infants all exert a conspicuous influence on the professional caliber of teachers.
