In recent years, countries around the world have advocated for the appropriate use of digital technology. However, there is still room for further exploration of preschool educators’ role in digital health teaching in kindergartens. Therefore, this study aims to understand the potential needs and types of digital health teaching from the perspective of preschool educators. It focuses on their subjective views regarding the use of digital health teaching and analyzes these perspectives using the Q-method. Based on the results of factor analysis, the study identifies the types of needs and provides relevant recommendations. The study sample was selected using convenience sampling, involving 35 preschool educators from Taipei and New Taipei City, including 4 males (11.4%) and 31 females (88.6%). The Q-method, which emphasizes both qualitative and quantitative analysis and is designed to explore subjective attitudes and values, was used to delve into the differences in perspectives among the respondents and to express their subjective awareness more comprehensively. This research serves as a preliminary study on the needs of preschool educators in digital health teaching. Through factor analysis of the Q-method, four types of needs were identified: teacher-student interaction theory, capacity enhancement support theory, digital resource management proponents, and community sharing proponents. Identifying these types of needs helps clarify the possible factors and necessary support for preschool educators in implementing digital health teaching. This study seeks to unravel the complexity of preschool educators’ needs in digital health teaching, aiming to contribute to theoretical research and practical applications in this field, thereby improving the effectiveness of health teaching for preschool educators. |
