본 연구는 만 3, 4세 누리과정 교사용 지도서의 영역과 생활주제에 나타난 유아인권교육내용을 본 연구의 분석준거에 따라 분석하였다. 분석대상은 만 3세의 생활주제 10권에 포함된 676개의 활동과 만 4세의 11권에 포함되어 있는 731개의 활동이다. 분석결과 첫째, 5개영역에 나타난 유아인권교육 내용은 3세 1,840개, 4세 2,195개를 포함하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 유아인권 교육내용을 가장 많이 다루고 있는 영역은 만 3, 4세 연령 모두 사회관계영역으로 3세 597개, 4세 787개를 다루고 있었으며, 그 중 ‘참여’에서 3세 287개, 4세 402개로나타나 유아인권교육내용을 가장 비중 있게 다루고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 둘째, 전체 생활주제 가운데 만 3, 4세 연령 모두 ‘봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울’의 생활주제에서 유아인권교육 내용을 가장 높게 다루고 있었다. ‘봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울’의 생활주제는 전체생활주제 가운데 3 세 242개(13.2%), 4세 252개(11.5%)로 나타났으며, 그 중 ‘교육과 휴식’에서 3세 142개, 4세155개로 나타나 가장 비중 있게 다루고 있었다. 연구결과를 토대로 유아교육현장의 교사들이3, 4세 연령에 따른 유아인권교육 관련 활동을 계획하고 전개하는데 기초자료를 제공하고자한다. 또한 체계적인 유아인권교육 프로그램 개발과 추후 개발될 교육과정에서 유아인권교육관련 활동을 계획․구성하는데 필요한 기초정보를 제공하고자 하는데 의의가 있다.
