이 연구는 교육환경 변화에 부응하는 콘텐츠 중심의 교사 전문성 개발 프로그램이 필요하다는 문제의식에서 교사들의 전문성개발 프로그램 콘텐츠별 참여 실태와 필요성 및 효과성 인식 수준을 분석하였다. OECD의 교수-학습 국제조사 자료(TALIS)를 활용하여 중학교 교사 4,000명을 대상으로 교사들의 인식을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 교사들의 전문성 개발 참여율이 가장 높은 프로그램은 주로 교과내용 중심 콘텐츠인 반면에, 새롭게 요구되는 콘텐츠(ICT, 다문화 지도, 학교경영과 행정, 새로운 직업기술)의 경우 교사들의 전문성 개발 프로그램 참여율이 낮았다. 들째, 교사들의 프로그램 참여율이 낮았던 콘텐츠에 대해 필요성 및 효과성 인식 수준 역시 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로, 교사경력에 따라 전문성 개발이 필요한 콘텐츠와 그 효과성을 달리 인식하고 있어 교사의 발달과정에 따라 전문성 개발 프로그램 콘텐츠를 다르게 접근해야 함을 시사하였다.

Little has been known about the process of the language teacher professional development. The present study aims to investigate an assumption that anybody who has subject matter knowledge will be a good language teacher. A teacher with rich linguistic knowledge started to question the effectiveness of his online class. The teacher, in collaboration with a teacher trainer, became involved in the critical examination of his online class, seeking for more effective ways of teaching. The trainer provided the teacher with clinical supervision, which is characterized as developmental, collaborative, non-judgemental, interactive, and teacher-centered. The data collected at the multi-facets of the online teaching shows how the process of the teacher's decision-making became principled on the basis of recent developments in English language teaching, and how the teacher has gained pedagogical knowledge through reflection upon his teaching. The feedback from the students reveals that such teacher professional development is beneficial to student learning. These findings suggest that language teacher's professional development can take place when they are engaged in reflective teaching and classroom investigation. It is also suggested that the process of teacher development can be enhanced through collaborative supervision with trust, openness and congeniality between parties involved.
