Abstract

This study aims to classify the types of instructional expertise development activities of teachers who teach subjects related to software education in primary schools. To this end, the study analyzes their participation in expertise development activities over the recent three years, outcomes from these activities, and forms and characteristics of expertise development activities. In the questionnaire survey conducted for this study, 276 primary school teachers participated. According to the survey, the same largest proportion of them participated in collective job training (96%) and distant job training (96%), followed by consulting, instruction supervision, mentoring, and peer observation (82%), lectures, workshops, and seminars held by related government ministries and the provincial and municipal offices of education (69%), and teachers' study communities (66%). Among informal activities, reading accounted for the highest portion of the activities (88%), followed by the use of information on Websites including YouTude and GitHub (80%), and teachers' expertise development networks (76%). The reasons for their participation in the activities were mostly to improve their instructional expertise (80%). Their participation in the activities had an impact on usefulness to enhance instructional expertise, improvement of job competencies, application to current jobs, sense of instructional efficacy, and positive effect. These results of the study are expected to provide a foundation for preparing continued expertise development plans that can promote the educational value of primary school teachers' instructional expertise development activities for teaching subjects related to software education.

이 연구에서는 초등학교에서 SW교육 관련 내용을 지도하는 교사들의 수업 전문성 개발을 위해 참여하는 활동들에 대해 유형별로 분류하고, 최근 3년간 전문성 개발 활동 참여 정도, 활동 후 성과 등 전문성 개발 활동 형태 및 특성들에 대해 분석하였다. 초등 교사 276명이 설문에 참여하였고, 그 결과 집합으로 이루어지는 직무연수(96%), 원격으로 이루어지는 직무연수(96%)에 가장 많이 참여하였고, 컨설팅 장학 멘토링 동료관찰(82%), 관련부처 및 시도교육청 주관 강좌 워크숍 세미나(69%), 교과연구회(66%)등이 그 뒤를 이었다. 한편 비공식적 활동 중 독서가 가장 많았고, 유튜브, 깃허브 등 웹사이트 정보 활용(80%), 교사들의 전문성 계발 네트워크(76%)순으로 많이 참여 하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 활동에 참여하는 이유로 대다수가 수업 전문성 향상을 위해서 활동에 참여하는 것으로 나타났으며, 활동 후 수업 전문성 향상 도움도, 직무역량 향상도, 현업적용도 및 수업 효능감, 긍정적 효과 정도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 결과가 SW교육 관련 교과 지도를 위한 초등교사의 수업 전문성 개발 활동의 교육적 가치를 증진 시킬 수 있는 지속적 전문성 개발 방안을 마련할 수 있는 토대를 제공할 것으로 기대한다.
