Abstract

This study investigates the changes in teachers' roles as the impact of AI on school education expands. Traditionally, teachers have been responsible for core aspects of classroom instruction, curriculum development, assessment, and feedback. AI can automate these processes, particularly enhancing efficiency through personalized learning. AI also supports complex classroom management tasks such as student tracking, behavior detection, and group activity analysis using integrated camera and microphone systems. However, AI struggles to automate aspects of counseling and interpersonal communication, which are crucial in student life guidance. While direct conversational replacement by AI is challenging, AI can assist teachers by providing data-driven insights and pre-conversation resources. Key competencies required for teachers in the AI era include expertise in advanced instructional methods, dataset analysis, personalized learning facilitation, student and parent counseling, and AI digital literacy. Teachers should collaborate with AI to emphasize creativity, adjust personalized learning paths based on AI-generated datasets, and focus on areas less amenable to AI automation, such as individualized learning and counseling. Essential skills include AI digital literacy and proficiency in understanding and managing student data.

본 연구는 AI의 학교교육 영향이 확대됨에 따른 교사의 직무 변화에 대한 연구이다. 전통적으로 교사는 교실 수업, 교육과정 개발, 평가 및 피드백과 같은 핵심 업무를 담당해왔다. AI는 이러한 과정을 자동화할 수 있으며, 특히 개인화된 학습을 통해 효율성을 높일 수 있으며 학생 추적, 행동 감지 및 그룹 활동 분석과 같은 복잡한 교실 관리 작업을 지원할 수 있다. 그러나 AI는 상담 및 대인 커뮤니케이션과 같은 학생 생활 지도에 중요한 측면을 자동화가 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 직무에서 AI가 직접적으로 상담활동을 대체 하는 것은 어렵지만, 데이터 기반의 인사이트와 사전 대화 자료를 제공함으로써 교사를 지원할 수 있다. AI시대의 교사 역량 강화 요소로는 심화 학습 운영 전문성, 데이터셋 분석 능력, 개별학습 운영 능력, 학생 및 학부모 상담역량, 그리고 AI디지털 역량이 필요하다. 교사는 AI와 협업하여 창의성과 확장적 추상능력을 강조하는 수업을 운영하고, AI시스템에서 생성된 데이터셋을 분석하고 개별화된 학습 경로를 조정하는 역량을 가져야 한다. 또한 개별화된 학습과 학생 상담에 집중하여 AI로 대체되기 어려운 부분을 수행해야 한다. 교사의 기본적인 역량으로는 AI디지털 소양 능력이 필요하며, AI시스템에 대한 이해와 학생 데이터 관리 역량이 요구된다.
