This study focused on recognizing how an induction teacher constructs and reconstructs particular meanings in her teaching and how she shapes her sense of self as an early childhood education teacher in her everyday life. A case study approach was used to conduct this in-depth investigation of an early childhood education induction teacher in Korea and how she perceived herself as a newcomer in the teaching world. The participant in the study was Ujin, a Korean woman in her twenties, who had fewer than two years of early childhood teaching experience. The findings of this study describe the extensive journey that this early childhood education induction teacher took to find her own way in the world of teaching. Ujin demonstrated enthusiasm and passion for becoming a teacher when she chose early childhood education as a major. However, the events she experienced in the real teaching world were different and unique according to the given context, and she continuously negotiated her teacher identity from moment to moment.
