Abstract
The qualifications of kindergarten educators are essential for ensuring the excellence of preschool education. This research aims to investigate the elements of kindergarten teacher competences through interviews with 20 kindergarten teachers in G province, China, employing the behavioral event interview technique. To determine and categorize kindergarten teachers' competencies, subject and content analysis were employed. Statistical study indicated that the competences comprise 54 elements, including integrity, compassion, cultural acceptance, pedagogical skills, empathy, effective utilization of abilities, self-regulation, and a thirst for knowledge. The hierarchical relationship analysis categorized these competences into eight dimensions: personal qualities, professional ethics, cultural literacy, professional knowledge and skills, communication and interaction, achievement capability, self-perception, and the pursuit of excellence. The abilities of kindergarten teachers provide a multi-dimensional framework encompassing personal attributes, professional ethics, cultural literacy, professional knowledge and skills, communication and interaction, achievement capability, self-perception, and the pursuit of excellence.
