Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze components of conflicts and investigate causes of them between mentor teachers and mentee teachers, who participated in the collaborative mentoring program to improve beginning science teachers teaching practice. The most often occurring component of conflict for surveyed teams was class strategy on knowledge of teaching methods. Then, conflicts in understanding student characteristics as a component of understanding students and knowledge transfer of concepts in science as a component of teaching contents followed as main causes. Changes in conflicts showed that less frequency of conflict occurred with ongoing mentoring. Conflicts from class strategy decreased the most, which had been the most often occurring cause. This decrease was explained as mentees were changed gradually into the teacher's role recognition through continuous mentoring. This study suggests that education for mentor and mentee teachers be provided with consideration of causes of conflicts and reasons for those causes, which eventually lead sustainable and efficient mentoring program management.

이 연구에서는 초임 과학교사의 수업 전문성 향상을 위한 협력적 멘토링에서 나타나는 멘토교사와 멘티교사의 갈등 요소 및 변화 과정을 분석하고 갈등의 원인을 고찰하였다. 협력적 멘토링 연수에 참가한 30명의 교사 중 멘토교사의 효능감 검사지 및 멘티교사의 만족도 설문지를 바탕으로 갈등이 있었다고 응답한 3팀(6명)을 연구의 참여자로 선정하였다. 연구를 위해 멘토교사와 멘티교사가 실시한 5차례의 일대일 멘토링 대화 녹음본과 전사본을 추가로 분석하였다. 멘토링 대화에서 나타나는 갈등의 요소를 살펴보면 교수방법에 대한 지식 중 수업 전략에 관한 갈등이 가장 많이 나타났으며, 다음으로 학생들의 이해에 대한 지식 요소 중 학생특성에 적합한 교과내용지식 측면과 교과내용지식 요소 중 과학개념에 대한 지식 측면에서 갈등이 나타났다. 또한 멘토교사의 효능감 검사지와 멘티교사의 만족도 설문지로부터 수업에 대한 교사의 인식 및 역할, 서로 다른 교육관, 멘티교사의 수업에 대한 인식 변화 및 노력 부족 등의 원인으로도 갈등이 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 멘토링의 횟수가 거듭됨에 따라 멘토교사의 의도를 멘티교사가 잘 이해하고 받아들여 결국에는 멘티교사의 인식 변화를 가져와 대부분의 갈등이 감소되었지만, 멘티교사의 요청에도 멘토교사가 적극적인 해결 방안을 제시하지 못하는 경우에는 갈등이 심화되는 것으로 나타났다.
