Abstract

Teacher reeducation is required to be comfortable with the 'Integrated science' subject as introduced in the 2015 revised curriculum. In this research, we designed in-service teacher training programs according to the types of secondary school science teacher's certificates, and developed ways to improve in-service science teachers' competencies. Through Delphi surveys with 22 science education experts, we investigated the features of the 2015 revised 'Integrated science' curriculum in light of its characteristics, purposes, contents system, contents, and so on, and explored teachers' competencies to teach the subject. Based on the analysis of the features of each type of secondary school science teachers' certification and required teacher competencies for teaching 'Integrated science', we developed three types of teacher training programs: in-service training courses for understanding the 2015 revised 'Integrated science' (Type A), in-service training courses for 'Integrated science' (Type B), and in-service teacher training certificate program for 'Integrated science' (Type C). For each teacher training program, we suggested the target of the training program in light of teacher certificates, operation systems, and ways to organize the program. In addition, we also suggested ways to improve 'Integrated science' teacher education programs for pre-service as well as in-service teachers, and examined ways to improve educational requirements for qualification in 'Integrated science' teaching based on the opinions of experts. Discussed in the conclusion are ways to design in-service teacher training programs for 'Integrated science' teaching and ways to improve 'Integrated science' teacher training.

최근 개정된 2015 개정 교육과정의 주요 신설과목인 '통합과학'이 학교 현장에서 정착되기 위해서는 현직교사에 대한 재교육이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 개정 교육과정의 '통합과학' 교과목 신설에 대비하여 중등 과학교사의 자격종별로 현직교사 재교육 내용을 구상하고, 과학과 현직교사 역량 제고 방안을 마련하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 문헌 연구와 과학교육 전문가 22명을 대상으로 한 델파이 조사를 통해 2015 개정 통합과학 교육과정의 특징을 성격과 목표, 내용 체계 및 내용 구성 등의 측면에서 분석하고 이를 가르치기 위해 필요한 교사 역량이 무엇인지를 탐색하였다. 이렇게 분석된 내용을 바탕으로 현재 학교 현장의 중등학교 과학교사 자격증 유형별 특징과 통합과학 지도를 위해 추가되어야 할 교사 역량을 탐색하여, 교사 자격증 유형별로 2015 개정 통합과학의 이해 직무 연수(A형), 통합과학 직무연수(B형), 통합과학 부전공 자격연수(C형) 등 3가지 유형의 연수프로그램을 개발하였다. 각각의 연수 프로그램 유형별로 교사 자격증별 대상자, 운영시간, 연수프로그램의 구체적인 구성 방법 등을 제시하였다. 또한, 이 연구에서는 전문가 의견에 기초하여 현직 교사뿐만 아니라 통합과학 교사 양성과정 개선안과 통합과학 교사자격 취득을 위한 기본이수과목 개선안을 제안하고 그 타당성을 평가하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 통합과학 지도를 위한 현직교사 재교육 연수 프로그램 구성상의 유의점 및 통합과학 교사 양성과정 개선 방안을 제언하였다.
