Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of the teaching experience of middle school physical education teachers, listening to in-depth statements related to teaching experience based on the physical education teacher's teaching identity, and analyzing the meaningful content and meaning structure found therein. The study participants were four current middle school physical education teachers. The research method used Colaizzi's phenomenological method to analyze the meaning structure through in-depth interviews with research participants, group interviews, additional interviews, and field records. In order to solve the research questions, the interviews were conducted as semi-structured interviews, and the individual interviews were terminated when there were no more duplicate cases or similar phenomena related to teaching experience. As a result of the study, the meaning of experience was constructed based on narrative statements through interviews with research participants, and a collection of 2 items, 6 categories, and 12 themes were extracted by exploring concepts from the constructed meaning. The reasons for going into the teaching profession were categorized into 'motivation' and 'beliefs', and the meaning of teaching experience was categorized into 'mission', 'relationships', 'exhaustion', and 'overcoming'. In conclusion, although the research participants faced numerous difficulties, they experienced challenges and recovery by pursuing the joy and value of sharing within the school community.

본 연구는 중학교 체육교사의 교직 경험 의미 탐색으로서 체육교사의 교직 정체성을 토대로 교직 경험 관련 심층적인 진술을 듣고 그 안에서 발견되어지는 의미 있는 내용 탐색과 의미 구조를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구 참여자는 현직중학교 체육교사 4명이다. 연구방법은 Colaizzi의 현상학적 방법을 통해 연구 참여자의 심층 면담, 집단 면담, 추가 면담 및 현장 기록 등을 통하여 의미 구조를 분석하였다. 연구문제를 해결하기 위하여 면담은 반 구조화 면담(semi structured interview)으로 진행하였으며 교직 경험과 관련하여 중복 사례나 유사 현상 등의 내용이 더 이상 나오지 않았을 때 개인 면담은 종료하였다. 연구 결과, 연구 참여자들과의 면담을 통한 이야기 진술들을 토대로 경험 의미를 구성하였으며 구성된 의미에서 개념을 탐색하여 2개의 항목, 6개의 범주 및 12개의 주제 모음이 추출되었다. 교직으로 향하게 된 이유는 '동기'와 '신념'으로 범주화 되었으며, 교직 수행 경험 의미는 '임무', '관계', '고갈', '극복'으로 범주화 되었다. 결론적으로 연구 참여자들은 수많은 어려움도 있었지만, 학교라는 공동체 안에서 나눔의 기쁨과 가치를 추구하며 도전과 회복을 경험하고 있었다.
