Recently, increasing demand for teacher professional development and significant advances in information and communication technologies has led to a proliferation of online professional development. In spite of online professional development's popularity and advantages, research indicates that there is a concern of considerably high dropout rates of online learners. Therefore, to reduce the dropout rates of the learners, this paper is designed to help teachers identify professional development opportunities that are tailored to their needs as well as successfully complete these learning experiences. To achieve the purpose of the study, the paper explores the considerations for evaluating the characteristics of online learners and online professional development. Using these evaluations, this paper provides practical strategies for helping elementary and secondary education teachers successfully complete online professional development without dropping out an online course.

본 연구는 교사 전문성 신장을 통한 학교 교육 개혁의 유효한 방안 중 하나로 평가되는 '레슨 스터디(Lesson Study)' 실행 사례를 소개함으로써 레슨 스터디에 대한 이해와 향후 한국에 레슨 스터디를 효과적으로 도입 실행하기 위한 방향을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 레슨 스터디는 교실 수업에 대한 교사들의 협력적 연구에 초점을 두어 교사들의 전문성 신장과 학교 교육 개혁을 동시에 꾀하는 접근으로 1999년 TIMSS 연구이후 대학과 연계한 PDS(professional development schools)의 형식으로 많이 행해지고 있다. 본 연구는 미국 서부에 위치한 K-8 학교가 C대학과 협력 관계를 형성하여 레슨 스터디를 진행한 일년 반 동안의 실행 사례에 대한 연구로써 (1) 레슨 스터디가 어떤 과정을 거쳐 진행되는지, (2) 레슨 스터디에 참여한 교사들이 다루는 주된 이슈가 무엇인지, (3) 레슨 스터디가 시간이 지남에 따라 어떤 진보된 모습으로 전개되는지를 분석하고, 끝으로 (4) 한국에 레슨 스터디를 효과적으로 도입, 운영하기 위한 도전적인 과제들을 제언하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 레슨 스터디는 실행 과정에서 다루는 문제의 특징에 따라 연구와 사전준비 단계, 수업 계획 단계, 수업 실행과 관찰 단계, 반성과 개선의 단계, 공유의 단계로 구분될 수 있었다. 둘째, 교사들의 주된 논의 주제는 교수-학습 자료, 질문이나 안내, 개인차, 교육과정, 비판적 이슈들이었으며, 주로 학습자의 이해 및 학습 관점에서 전개되었다. 셋째, 레슨 스터디를 연속적 실행에 따라 나타난 진보적 변화로 유목적적인 토론, 외부로부터의 적극적인 자원 수집, 학습자 중심의 관점 유지, 선형적 단계에서 순환적 단계로의 변화가 관찰되었다. 넷째, 한국에 레슨 스터디를 효과적으로 도입·실행하기 위한 과제로 지역과 연계한 학습 공동체 구축, 참여 범위 확대를 통한 교사간 이질감 해소, 기술이 아닌 본질에 초점을 둔 도입과 실행, 수학 외 다른 교과에의 적용 또는 통합교과적 접근의 시도, 그리고 레슨 스터디에 참여하는 교사들에 대한 심리적, 경제적 보상 체제 마련을 제안하였다.

Economic transformations have led to an increase in the role of creative assets and their central role in public life. Changes in creative activity have led to a change in the organization of the work of institutes engaged in the training of specialists, in particular teachers of labor education. Methods and approaches to training determine the development of creative industries, being the basis for models of professional training of future teachers of labor training. The purpose of an article was to develop a modern model of professional training of future teachers of labor training based on the concept of creative economy. The methodology is based on the concepts of holistic craft and creative economy. Based on the integration of pedagogical learning models "Craft as design and problem-solving", "Craft as skill and knowledge building", "Craft as product-making" and "Craft as self-expression" developed and experimentally confirmed the conceptual model of professional training of future teachers of labor training. The proposed model forms a practitioner with professional, technical, digital and creative skills who is able to transfer the experience to students. The training course "Creativity and creative thinking" has been developed. The model provided for the development of a course based on the strategy of developing professional creativity, flexibility, improvisation, openness, student activity, joint practice, student-oriented approach. The practical value implies the adaptation of the developed model of professional training of future teachers of labor education during the training of teachers in higher education, which is confirmed in the experiment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of science leading schools on primary and middle school students' positive experiences about science (PES) through in-depth interviews with teachers in charge of science leading schools. Science leading schools at the primary and middle school level such as Creative Convergent Science Labs and Student Participatory Science Classes were investigated and 11 teachers were participated in focus group interviews. Teacher in-depth interviews were conducted to explore the factors that led to the effectiveness of science leading schools in improving the student's PES in light of operational characteristics of science leading schools, characteristic factors of science leading schools on students PES, and improvement plans and requirements of science leading schools, as well as implications for general high schools. Science leading schools including Creative Convergent Science Labs and Student Participatory Science Classes applied for the leading school funding to secure supplies, equipments, and lab improvement for authentic science classes. In addition, reconstructed the curriculum more broadly than before, and emphasized and expanded student participatory classes and process-centered assessment at the teacher learning community level. Through student-participatory classes, the science leading schools stimulate students' interest in science, provide students with PES) through various instructions including projects, engage students in interesting science experiences in Creative Convergent Science Labs, and enhance inquiry skills and PES as well as science content knowledge. Based on the results, ways to spread the characteristics of science leading schools to general schools are suggested including expanding budget support, securing the space of science labs and improving spatial composition, providing diverse teaching and learning materials, diversifying assessment subjects and methods, and the necessity of teachers' continuous professional development, etc.
