Abstract

Various policies have been implemented for human resources development in preparation for future society. Among the policies, STEAM education, SMART education and SW education are representative examples. In order for these policies to be implemented effectively in the school setting, teachers' positive perception and teaching competency are required. In consideration of the importance of pre-service teacher education, this study analyzed the current status of elementary pre-service teachers' perception and teaching readiness on STEAM education, SMART education and SW education, and sought implications that can be reflected in pre-service teacher education. The results of the study showed that the pre-service teachers' perception on the necessity of each policy was very high, and the understanding level of each policy was relatively high. Compared with this, it was found that pre-service teachers lacked training experience related to each policy, and the level of readiness for teaching was very low. As the most important task to be solved, many pre-service teachers selected the implementation of teacher education and seminars, and the distribution of instructional programs and materials. As the result of analyzing the difference according to pre-service teachers' individual characteristics, differences were found according to the level of their ICT utilization ability. Based on the results of this study, implications to be reflected in pre-service teacher training processes were suggested.

미래 사회를 대비하여 인재를 양성하고자 하는 다양한 정책들이 시행되어 왔다. 그 정책들 중에서 STEAM교육, SMART교육과 SW교육이 대표적인 사례가 된다. 이 정책들이 학교 현장에서 효과적으로 실행되기 위해서는 교사들의 긍정적인 인식과 지도 역량이 요구된다. 본 연구는 특히 예비교사 교육의 중요성을 고려하여 STEAM교육, SMART교육과 SW교육 정책에 대한 초등예비교사의 인식과 지도 준비도 현황을 분석하고, 예비교사 교육에 반영할 수 있는 시사점들을 모색하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 예비교사들의 각 정책에 대한 필요성 인식 수준은 매우 높았으며, 각 정책에 대한 이해 수준은 비교적 높은 편인 것으로 나타났다. 이와 비교할 때, 예비교사들이 각 정책과 관련하여 교육을 받은 경험은 부족하며, 지도 준비 수준은 매우 낮은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 우선적으로 해결해야 할 과제로는 교사 교육 세미나 운영과 교수-학습 프로그램 및 자료 보급에 대한 선택이 가장 많았다. 예비교사의 개별 특성에 따른 차이를 분석한 결과, 예비교사의 ICT 활용 능력 수준에 따른 차이들이 발견되었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과에 기초하여 예비교사 양성 과정에서 반영해야 할 시사점들을 제시하였다.
