English Abstract: This study aims to provide university institutions and educational practice institutions with basic data on the subjective perceptions of pre-kindergarten teachers’ subjective perceptions of educational practice by examining the types and characteristics of pre-kindergarten teachers’ perceptions of educational practice by using Q-methodology. Accordingly, the literature and previous studies on educational practice were reviewed, and the final 40 Q-samples were selected by categorizing and analyzing 742 statements answered through the open-ended questionnaire of 245 pre-school teachers. The selected Q-sample was Q-classified by 44 preschool teachers in 9 steps, and the classified data was analyzed using the QUANL program. As a result, pre-kindergarten teachers’ perception of the teaching personality was classified into four types, and each type was classified into ‘theory application type’, ‘career worries and opportunities type’, ‘growth type as new learning’, and ‘preparation as a teacher’. The four types of images of educational practice revealed in this study show both positive and negative influences, but it shows that various images of educational practice are understood.
