Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how educational experience (teaching experience, experience participating in the Teacher Learning Community, curriculum training experience, and innovative experience working in school) of elementary school teachers affects the recognition and execution of curriculum and textbooks. For this purpose, the results of a questionnaire survey for elementary school teachers were analyzed by performing T-tests, One-Way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results were as follows. First, according to the teacher's educational experience, there were statistically significant differences in the recognition and execution of curriculum reorganization, and the recognition and dependence on textbooks. Second, there were statistically significant correlations among such variables as recognition and implementation of curriculum reorganization, and the recognition and dependence on textbooks. Third, the teacher's educational experience had a significant impact on curriculum reorganization and the dependence on textbooks. Curriculum restructuring in elementary schools is not an end in itself. What is also needed is to find and implement the best class plans for promoting the .meaningful growth and development of elementary school students. This study suggests that the dependence on textbooks should be lowered and the curriculum should be actively reorganized, and teachers should develop their expertise based on extensive educational experience.

본 연구는 초등학교 교원의 교육적 경험(교직 경력, 교사 학습공동체 참여 경험, 교육과정 연수참여 경험, 혁신학교 근무 경험)이 교육과정 및 교과서를 인식하고 실행하는 양상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 탐색해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 초등교원을 대상으로 설문한 결과를 t-검증, 일원 분산분석, 상관분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 교원의 교육적 경험에 따라 교육과정 재구성 인식 및 실행, 교과서 인식 및 의존에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 교육과정 재구성 인식 및 실행, 교과서 인식 및 의존 등의 각 변인 간의 통계적으로 유의미한 상관을 나타냈다. 셋째, 교육과정 재구성과 교과서 의존에 교원의 교육적 경험이 의미 있는 영향을 미치고 있었다. 초등학교에서의 교육과정 재구성은 그 자체가 목적이 아니다. 초등학생들의 의미 있는 성장과 발달을 위한 최선의 수업 방안을 찾아 실천하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 교과서 의존도를 낮추고 적극적으로 교육과정을 재구성하여 수업을 전개해야 하며, 교원들은 폭넓은 교육적 경험을 바탕으로 전문성을 함양해야 함을 시사한다.
