Abstract

The purpose of the study is to explore the types and coping methods of dilemmas that pre-service science teachers experience during student teaching. For this, we collected 131 dilemma journals that 34 pre-service science teachers wrote during a four-week period of student teaching. Results show that first, there are five categories of dilemmas, they are, 'Which science teacher should I be?', 'What is good science teaching?', 'How should I build relationships with the people around me at school?', and 'Who am I as a student teacher?'. Second, pre-service science teachers' status as a students-teachers made them cope with dilemmas passively. Third, when they cope with the dilemmas, student-teachers considered the dilemmas as conflicts of irreconcilable alternatives rather than opportunities of conciliation and compromise, therefore, most pre-service science teachers choose just one alternative and only 20% of dilemmas are resolved by compromise choice. Finally, dilemmas which showed the features of science teaching are the dilemmas related to scientific inquiry teaching and science teaching-learning model. Based on the results, we discussed the implications for teacher education.

본 연구의 목적은 예비 과학교사들이 교육실습 과정동안 겪는 딜레마를 탐색하여 딜레마의 특징과 대응방법을 통해 교사교육에의 시사점을 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 사범대 과학교육전공 4학년에 재학 중인 34명의 예비 과학교사들에게 교육실습 동안 경험한 딜레마에 대해 실습기간동안 작성한 딜레마 성찰일지 131편을 수집하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 예비 과학교사들이 인식하는 딜레마는 크게 '어떤 교사가 될 것인가', '어떤 수업을 해야 하는가', '어느 권력을 따라야 하는가', '어떤 인간관계를 형성해야 하는가', '교육실습생이란 어떤 사람인가' 라는 다섯 가지의 주제와 연결되어 있었다. 둘째, 예비과학교사들이 교육실습과정에서 부딪히는 딜레마는 교육실습생이라는 모호한 지위가 딜레마를 더 심화시키거나 소극적으로 대응하도록 하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 예비 과학교사들의 딜레마 상황에 대한 대응방법을 분석한 결과, 딜레마 상황에서 대해 단순한 양자택일 상황으로 인식하여 조율과 협상의 전략을 시도하는 노력이 부족하며, 과학교육 전문성에 연결시키는 수준이 높지 않았다. 넷째, 예비 과학교사들의 딜레마 중 과학 교과의 특징이 확연히 드러난 것들은 과학탐구 지도에 관련된 딜레마와 과학교수학습 모형의 적용에 대한 딜레마였다. 이 밖에도 본 연구결과가 교사교육에 주는 시사점을 결과와 함께 논의하였다.
