This study aimed to identify psychological and behavioral needs that preschool-aged children exhibit in earlychildhood education(ECE) settings and to illuminate the nature of the ideal settings that satisfy these needs. For the purpose,this study reviewed theories concerning basic human needs and motivation and prior studies regarding human-general andchild-specific psychological and behavioral characteristics displayed in interior spaces. Based on the review, preliminary resultswere drawn. To confirm that these preliminary results were sufficiently comprehensive and future-directed considering educationalgoals and objectives, the vision of an educated person and key competencies defined in the national curricula were additionallyreviewed. The final results were as follows. Young children’s psychological and behavioral characteristics drawn from the reviewwere convenience-orientedness, pleasantness-orientedness, safety-orientedness, comfort-orientedness, agency, stimulus-orientedness,aesthetic-orientedness, relationship-orientedness, and movement-orientedness. Based on these nine characteristics, the nature ofdesirable ECE settings were defined as a space: 1) ensuring convenience, pleasantness, and safety; 2) offering rest andcomfort; 3) supporting autonomy and agency; 4) supporting aesthetic and creative experiences; 5) supporting on-offlinerelationships and communications; & 6) promoting physical movements. |
