Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the experience of pre-service mathematics teachers who attended at a university course combined with teaching practicum based on design thinking process to identify the change of their awareness of its activities. For the research, 8 pre-service mathematics teachers participated in a mathematics major course, consisting of 5 phases of design thinking formed by Stanford d.school. In the end of the course, qualitative data were collected through individual and focus group interviews and the course activities. By data analysis, the results of this study were as follows. Firstly, the participants' perspectives of design thinking activities were changed from the difficulty and ambiguity of its activity in the beginning of the process to positiveness with competence of solving authentic problem in terms of teaching practicum over time. Secondly, the participating pre-service teachers emphasized that design thinking activities helped them prepare well teaching practicum and raise understanding of students they met in the school fields. Thirdly, some research participants went through the difficulty in utilizing their products drawn from 4th phase (prototyping) of design thinking process depending on the acceptance of their guidance teachers. Fourthly, the research participants also pointed out that the design thinking was a significant activity in that they learned how to understand and communicate with their students and how to collaborate with team members and it gave an insight about the preparation for a class. Through these results, this study identified the possibility of using the design thinking process for pre-service mathematics teachers' teaching practicum. In addition, the research put forward some implications for better use of design thinking in teacher education.

본 연구는 예비수학교사의 교육실습 현장수행 역량을 높이기 위해, 디자인 사고 프로세스를 활용한 대학수업과 학교 현장의 교육실습 연계형 프로그램을 운영하고 참여한 예비수학교사들의 경험을 분석하는 데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해, 2019학년도 1학기 교육실습 대상자인 예비수학교사 8명이 참여한 대학 전공 수업에 디자인 사고 5단계 프로세스를 적용한 후, 참여자 집단 및 개별 면담 자료와 디자인 사고 활동 결과물 등 질적 자료를 수집 분석하였다. 자료 분석에 따른 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대학수업에서의 디자인 사고 1~4단계를 통해 참여자들의 인식은, 초기에 공감 단계의 혼돈과 막연함에서 시작하였으나 시간의 흐름에 따라 프로그램 활동에 대해 보다 적극적인 변화를 보였다. 둘째, 교육실습 중, 디자인 사고의 5번째 단계인 평가단계에서는, 참여 예비수학교사들이 이전단계에서 생성한 프로토타입의 적용성을 확인하는 활동을 적극적으로 수행하였다. 다만, 일부 현장의 허용적이지 않은 상황으로 인해 프로토타입의 적용에 어려움을 가진 사례도 있었다. 셋째, 교육실습 후, 대학수업에서의 평가 및 성찰 과정에서 참여자들은 디자인 사고 활동의 필요성에 긍정적으로 공감하였다. 끝으로, 대학수업과 학교현장의 교육실습 간 융통성 있는 연결을 위해 두 영역의 긴밀한 연계가 전제될 필요가 있음이 확인되었다.
