Abstract

The main goal of the research is to develop instructional consulting manual to help math teachers improve classroom teaching. Improving the quality of teaching in schools is stressed as a central focus of meaningful classroom instruction and high quality education. In this research, teaching consulting was defined as an activity that covers reflection process oriented towards formative assessment and continuing professional development. Within this context, subject-specific teaching consulting and teaching professionalism with focus on PCK was reviewed. Further, the questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current situation of teaching consulting and teachers' needs for consulting. And also, specific examples of subject-specific consulting based on our previous consulting experiences in math classes were shown. Alternative ways to improve subject teaching were derived through the conferences where consultants and consultees analyze video-taped lessons conducted by the consultees. By those results, a manual for invigorating teaching consulting was developed. The contents of the manual consists of setting conditions of teaching consulting and its implementation in the classroom teaching. The first part of the manual contains steps to establish teaching consulting system, the qualification and role of the consultant, system evaluation, etc. The second part of the manual presents the pre-preparation, prescription and implementation and follow-up management steps. Each part of the manual provides consultants with specific guidelines for each step. Finally, recommendations for making policy related to ways to invigorate teaching consulting was suggested. It is expected that specific examples and cases of subject-specific teaching consulting presented in this research will be used to narrow the gap between theory and practice of teaching consulting, and to help math, science and English teachers develop teaching professionalism.

본 연구는 수업컨설팅과 관련된 이론과 실천을 연계한 컨설팅 활성화 방안을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 두고, 학교교육의 문제 해결, 교사의 전문성 신장, 수업의 질 향상에 보탬이 되고자 하였다. 이러한 취지에서 한국교육과정평가원에서는 수학, 과학 및 영어의 3개 교과를 중심으로 교과별 내용교수지식(Pedagogical Content Knowledge, PCK)에 초점을 둔 수업컨설팅 실시 방안 및 그 구체적인 내용을 '수업컨설팅 매뉴얼'의 형태로 담아내고자 하였다. 본고에서는 수업컨설팅의 의미를 점검하고, 설문 조사를 통하여 현행 수업컨설팅 운영 실태 및 문제점을 진단하고자 하였다. 또, 매뉴얼 개발을 위한 수업컨설팅 사례를 분석하여 이를 토대로 수업컨설팅 활성화를 매뉴얼을 개발하고 개발된 수업컨설팅 매뉴얼 활용 방안을 정책 제언으로 제안하였다. 다만, 본고에서는 지면관계상 수업컨설팅 활성화 매뉴얼 부문에서 '처방 및 투입 단계'에 초점을 두어 제시하였다.
