초록

본 연구의 목적은 초·중·고등학교의 융합교육 운영 현황을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 전국 시·도교육청에 재직 중인 교사 871명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 학교급별로 빈도분석을 실시하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전체 교사 871명 중 449명(51.5%)이 융합교육을 실행하는 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 융합교육을 실행하는 이유로 교사의 자발적 노력과 미래사회를 대비한 교육적 필요성으로 나타났다. 셋째, 융합교육은 정규 교과 시간에 과목 간 연계형으로 과학, 미술, 사회 교과를 중심으로 실행되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, COVID-19에 대응하여 융합교육을 실행하는 교사 중 270명(64.0%)이 비대면 융합교육을 실행하였으며, 수업 자료 제작과 학생과의 소통에 어려움을 겪었다. 다섯째, 융합교육을 미실행하는 이유로 교사의 과중한 업무, 교사 연수와 연구회 활동 지원 부족, 다양한 융합교육 프로그램 부족 등이 제시되었다. 본 연구는 융합교육 활성화를 위한 정책 도출과 실행 지원에 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

The goal of this study is to investigate the current status of implementation of convergence education in elementary, middle, and high schools. A survey was conducted on 871 in-service teachers nationwide, and frequency analysis was conducted by school level. Key findings are as follows: first, 449 (51.5%) are found to practice convergence education. Second, the reason for implementing convergence education is the voluntary effort of teachers and the educational necessity for the future society. Third, it was found that convergence education is being implemented centered on science, arts, and social studies as a link between subjects in regular curriculum hours. Fourth, 270 (64%) of teachers who implemented convergence education in response to COVID-19 performed online convergence education, and experienced difficulties in creating class materials and communicating with students. Fifth, the excessive work of teachers, insufficient support for teacher training and research group activities, and lack of various convergence education programs are suggested as reasons for not implementing convergence education. This study hopes to provide implications for policy and implementation for revitalizing convergence education.
