본 연구의 목적은 유아교사의 경제교육 학습경험이 유아교사의 경제이해력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보는 것이다. 연구대상은 경남지역 G시와 T시의 유아교사 210명이었다. 연구방법은 검사지를 활용한 조사방법이며 연구도구는 전국 초·중·고등학생 경제이해도 조사의 문항을 기초로 수정 및 보완하여 총 20문제로 구성하였다. 분석방법은 빈도분석, 신뢰도분석, t검증을 하였다. 분석결과는 첫째, 유아교사의 경제이해력은 전반적으로 낮은 수준으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아교사양성과정에서 경제교육 학습경험이 있는 유아교사가 그렇지 않은 유아교사보다 경제이해력이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 현직에서 교사교육에 참여한 경험이 있는유아교사가 그렇지 않은 유아교사보다 경제이해력이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 교사양성과정이나 현직 교사교육이 유아교사의 경제이해력을 향상시킬 수 있기에 교사양성과정과 교육현장에서 경제교육을 더욱 강화되어야 할 것이다.
