The purpose of this study was closely to explore the guidance experiences of senior elementary teachers who have had over 30 years of teaching experiences in elementary school based on interpretive(or hermeneutic) inquiry. The entry research question was 'What are the guidance experiences of senior elementary teachers like?' Seven senior elementary teachers working for O elementary School in G city participated in this study voluntarily. Each participant was interviewed twice in a consecutive manner. 14 periods of interview were completed all together and each period took about 40-60 minutes. In conclusion, this study conceptualized the guidance experiences of the senior elementary teachers(participants) as follows: First, the concepts of guidance held by the participants were conceptualized as 1) supporting and caring activity helping students to lead joyful school life, 2) assisting activity helping students to grow on good basic life habits, 3) character building activity helping students to lead integrative growth. Second, the fields and contents of guidance held by the participants were conceptualized as basic life habits, manners, and health & safety. Interestingly, these concepts were evolved in connection with their personal, practical teaching experiences rather than in-service teacher education. Third, the guidance methods frequently used by the participants were co-work with parents, exemplary storytelling, counselling, and praise. The participants applied these methods differently according to the grade, individual difference, and school curriculum policy to some degree. Fourth, the participants have experienced a lot of struggles with students, teachers, and parents in doing their guidance practices throughout the whole teaching career. Their guidance experiences commonly shifted from more teacher-centered or authoritative to more student-centered or relational way as their teaching years accumulated. Interestingly, all the participants more or less lived as lifelong learners to create their own right space as senior teachers in today's competitive and challenging landscape. This study strongly suggests that responsible teacher education can playa great role of enabling senior teachers to cope with guidance issues successfully. Compared with the speedy social change, the teacher education in Korea had been so authoritative, provider-based, subject-based until recently and it have not met the needs and wants of the elementary teachers in field. This trend has significantly hindered them from catching up with the needs of the speedy social change in terms of contemporary guidance issues. This study is limited in that the data is solely collected based on interview. So, an observational research is strongly suggested in order to uncover the situated understanding of the guidance experiences of elementary senior teachers.

창의적 사고와 융합이 중요시되는 4차 산업 혁명 시대를 성공적으로 맞이하기 위해 전 세계적으로 컴퓨팅 사고력(Computational Thinking: CT) 증진을 위한 코딩(coding) 교육이 대두되고 있다. 특히 MIT 미디어 연구소에서 개발한 스크래치(Scratch)를 활용한 코딩 교육은 기존의 전통적인 교육패러다임을 벗어나서, 학습자들이 능동적이고 협력적 활동에 참여하는 구성주의 교수법을 강조하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 교육 패러다임 변화에 대한 인식이 부족하기 때문에 실제 학교나 사교육 현장에서는 코딩 교육이라는 명목하에 프로그래밍 언어에 관련된 테크닉이 주로 강조 되는 경향이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 구성주의적 교수-학습에 입각한 CT 평가 도구를 개발하고 실행하는 것에 초점을 두었다. 그리고 CT 자기 평가 도구의 교육적 가치를 연구하기 위해 '컴퓨팅 사고력을 활용한 문제해결'이라는 과목을 수강한 초등예비교사들이 CT 역량 평가 루브릭을 활용한 결과를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 협력이 강조되는 구성주의 교수법을 반영한 CT 자기 평가를 디자인하고 실현하는 과정을 매개로 하여, 초등예비교사들이 문제해결 과정을 체험하고 CT역량을 증진시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 도출된 CT 교육 및 평가에 대한 개선점을 제언하였다.
