The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of emotional support from fellow teachers and empathy skills on professional development in infant and early childhood teachers in an effort to provide information on reeducation for infant and early childhood teachers in childcare centers and on the development of professional improvement programs. The subjects in this study were 290 teachers who worked in childcare centers located in the city of Busan. As a result, emotional support from fellow teachers and the professional development of the infant and early childhood teachers were sort of good in general, but their empathy skills were slightly poor. Among the general background variables of the infant and early childhood teachers, there were differences in professional development according to their age groups, marital status and the type of workplace. Regarding the relationships between emotional support from fellow teachers and professional development and between empathy skills and professional development perceived by the infant and early childhood teachers, both of emotional support from fellow teachers and empathy skills had a significant positive correlation with professional development. As to the impact of emotional support from fellow teachers and empathy skills on professional development, professional development was under the largest significant influence of emotional support, followed by cognitive empathy. 본 연구는 동료교사의 정서적 지지와 영유아교사의 공감능력이 영유아교사의 전문성 발달에 미치는 영향을 알아봄으로써 향후 어린이집 영유아교사의 재교육과 전문성 향상을 위한 프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. 본 연구는 부산광역시에 소재한 어린이집에 재직하고 있는 교사 290명을 대상으로 실시되었다. 그 결과, 동료교사의 정서적 지지, 영유아교사의 전문성 발달은 전반적으로 높은 편이지만 영유아교사의 공감능력은 조금 낮다는 것을 알 수 있으며, 영유아교사의 일반적인 배경 중 연령대, 결혼여부, 기관유형에 따라 전문성 발달이 높았다. 영유아교사가 인식하는 동료교사의 정서적 지지와 전문성 발달의 관계, 영유아교사의 공감능력과 전문성 발달의 관계, 모두 유의미한 정적 상관이 나타났으며 동료교사의 정서적 지지와 공감능력이 전문성 발달에 미치는 영향에서도 전문성 발달에 정서적 지지와 인지 공감 순으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

유뢰,신동진 대한영어영문학회 2020 영어영문학연구 Vol.46 No.1

Liu Lei & Shin, Dong-Jin. “An Investigation on EFL Teachers’ Needs for Professional Development in Junior Middle Schools in China.” Studies in English Language & Literature 46.1 (2020): 147-176. With the rapid development of globalization, the number of English learners increased as the day passed. Since we are now living in the era of knowledge explosion. In China, learning English is compulsory in middle school, while the period of junior middle school is the golden period of English learning. The teacher is an important part of educational system, and the status of teachers’ professional development concerns the teaching quality. Traditionally, teacher development programmes have concentrated mainly on enhancing teachers’ teaching techniques and skills, largely disregarding their real needs and demands. Therefore, under the background of new national situation and new curriculum standards, as the demand for junior middle school students’ English level and English language education has increased exponentially with the economic growth and globalization (Li Jing, 2010). Based on the teachers’ professional development in China, combined with previous research results, the writer investigates the EFL teachers who took part in national training plan organized by Baoding University in April 2019 and claims their needs of professional development. The survey revealed following results: 1. There are a few problems existing in EFL teachers’ professional development in junior middle schools, such as lack of professional knowledge structure and teaching ability, monotonous in teaching content and weak teaching ability in English; 2. The two major factors restricting teachers’ professional development are the work pressure and no ways for advanced studies. Based on the research results and the actual English teaching situation of Hebei Province, current study tries to put forward the ways of teachers’ professional development from three aspects: training, well-designed training contents and peer coaching.

교사 연수와 수업 전문성 발달

김찬종(Kim, Chan-Jong) 서울대학교 교육종합연구원 2009 교육연구와 실천 Vol.75 No.-

교사의 수업 전문성에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 수업 전문성은 양성과정에서 시작하여 교사의 전 생애를 통해서 발달되고 변화된다. 교사 연수나 전문성 신장 프로그램 참여 경험은 이의 발달을 위한 좋은 계기나 자극이 되기도 한다. 이 연구에서는 교사의 수업 전문성에 대한 연구 성과를 통하여 수업 전문성의 특성과 발달, 그리고 교사연수의 영향에 대해서 알아보는 것이다. 수업전문성에 대한 이해는 과정-결과 모형과 같은 학생의 성취에 영향을 주는 특정한 기능이나 성향 파악에서 보다 복합적인 PCK, 실천적 지식 등으로 확장되어 왔다. 교사는 생애 주기별로 독특하고 특정한 발달 단계를 겪는다. 이는 개인의 지향과 특성 그리고 근무 상황에 따라 달라지며 우리나라 교사들은 전문적인 발달보다는 현장 적응적인 특성과 경험과 시행착오를 통한 제한적인 발달을 한다. 교사의 수업 전문성 발달에서 결정적 경험과 반성이 매우 중요한 역할을 하므로 이를 제공하는 것이 중요하다. 또한 교사들은 매일 매일의 수업을 실행하면서 실천적 반성을 통해서 지속적인 변화를 겪는다. 교사들의 수업전문성 향상을 위해서는 연수에 대한 부정적인 인식 극복, 수업 전문성에 대한 연구 성과를 활용한 교사 재교육 실행, 교사의 자발적 연구 모임 활성화, 학교의 발전과 교사의 전문성 신장을 연계, 교사들이 발달 단계에 적합한 연수 프로그램을 제공, 현장의 필요와 교사의 요구를 기반으로 한 발달 기회를 제공해야 한다. professional teaching ability receives more attention than ever. It is developing and changing throughout teachers entire career, beginning from the teacher education college. Attending in-service education or professional development workshop may provide effective opportunity or stimulus. By summarizing research on teachers professional teaching ability, the characteristics and development of professional teaching ability and the effects of in-service education on this are explored. Professional teaching ability had been understood based on process-product model. Recently, more comprehensive approach, such as PCK, practical knowledge have been developed. Teachers experience unique developmental process throughout career. It depends on personal orientations characteristics and working context. Korean teachers develop by adaptation and trial-and-error. In professional teaching ability development, critical experience or incidents play important role. It is important to provide such experience to teachers. Teachers also develop and experience continuous change from reflection-in-action in everyday teaching. For developing professional teaching ability, overcoming negative perception of teachers on in-service education, developing and administrating professional development program based on research, activating teachers spontaneous study meetings, connecting school development and teachers professional development, providing professional development program appropriate to teachers developmental stage, and based on needs and demands of teachers.

본 연구의 목적은 교사의 전문성 발달과 지식의 기초에 관한 요구를 살펴보고, 이러한 전문성 발달과 지식의 기초에 관한 요구가 교사의 경력에 따라 차이가 있는지 알아보고, 전문성 발달 정도와 지식의 기초에 관한 요구 간에는 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구의 대상은 강원도 교육청 관내 소재 공립유치원에 재직 중인 원감, 교사 461명으로 전문성 발달은 보통 이상으로 경력에 따라 차이가 있으며, 지식의 기초에 관한 요구는 보통 이상으로 경력에 따라 전체요구에서는 차이가 없으며, 하위영역인 교육 및 사회현상에 대한 이해, 유아교육 현장에 대한 이해, 연구능력에서 차이가 있다. 전문성 발달과 지식의 기초에 관한 요구 간에는 경력을 통제 한 후 살펴본 결과 보통의 정적 상관이 있으며, 연구능력에서 가장 높은 상관을 보였다. The purpose of this study was to examine the professional development of teachers, their needs for the basis of knowledge, the relationship of their career to professional development and needs for the basis of knowledge and the relationship between their professional development and needs for the basis of knowledge. For the purpose, following research questions were set up. 1. How about the specialty development of the teacher, Is there a difference by a career? 2. How about the demand about the basics of knowledge, Is there a difference by a career? 3. How about the relations with the demand about the specialty development rank of the teacher and the basics of knowledge? The subjects in this study were 461 assistant principals and teachers in public kindergartens under the umbrella of the Gangwon-do Office of Education. An instrument used in this study to assess the professional development of the kindergarten teachers was Baek Eun-joo & Cho Boo-kyung(2004)'s inventory, and the other used to evaluate their basis of knowledge was Cho Boo-kyung, Park Eun-hye & Lim Seung-ryeol (1998)'s inventory. As to data handling, F-test was carried out to check their professional development and needs for the basis of knowledge, and Duncan test was utilized to make a post-hoc analysis. To look for connections between the level of their professional development and needs for the basis of knowledge, partial correlation coefficients were after having controlled a career. The research of this study were as followings: First, the professional development of the teachers was above the average in general. They scored highest in development of knowledge and knowhow, followed by ecological development and development of self-understanding. In regard to overall professional development by career, the teachers whose length of career was between 11 and 20 years ranked first, followed by those with 20 years or more of career, those with six to 10 years of career and those with five years or less of career. The intergroup gaps were significant. In terms of the three aspects of professional development, there were significant gaps in all the three aspects of professional development that involved development of knowledge and knowhow, development of self-understanding and ecological development. Second, they had strong needs for the basis of knowledge, which was above the average. They were most in need of understanding of children, followed by communication skills, research ability, understanding of the early childhood curriculum, understanding of kindergarten teacher professionalism, understanding of actual early childhood education, and understanding of educational and social phenomena. Concerning their overall needs for the basis of knowledge by career, the teachers whose length of career was between 11 and 20 years called for the basis of knowledge the most, but the gap between them and the others was not significant. As for the subfactors of needs for the basis of knowledge by career, career made a significant difference to their needs for understanding of educational and social phenomena, needs for under- standing of actual early childhood education and needs for research ability. Third, when the relationship between their professional development and needs for the basis of knowledge was investigated by keeping career in control, there was a positive correlation between the two(r=.42). The level of professional development had a positive correlation to the subfactors of needs for the basis of knowledge(r=.20 to r=.41). Among the subfactors of needs for the basis of knowledge, that was most closely linked to needs for research ability, followed by needs for understanding of kindergarten teacher professionalism, needs for communication skills and needs for understanding of the early childhood curriculum. Regarding the relationship between the three aspects of professional development and the subfactors of needs for the basis of knowledge, development of knowledge and knowhow and development of self-understanding had the closest correlation to needs for research ability, and ecological development had the strongest correlation to needs for communication skills.

허주,최원석 한국교원대학교 교육연구원 2019 敎員敎育 Vol.35 No.2

The purpose of this study was to identify effect size of teacher professional development through a meta-analysis, and compare the effect size difference between institution centered and teacher centered professional development, if any. Total of 14 related studies (k=66) were included in the analysis, which were published research articles and Ph. D. dissertations. The result were, first, average effect size of teacher professional development was 0.669 which was statistically significant, second, although it was not statistically significant, the average effect size of teacher centered professional development activity (1.084) was bigger than institution centered professional development activity (0.673), and finally heterogeneity of the related studies was high, which was found related to the theme area (duration) of professional development. These results suggest, first, more studies related to the effect of teacher professional development needs to be conducted. Second, long-term teacher centered professional development activities can be more beneficial than short-term and event-like institution centered professional development. Finally, studies related to teacher professional learning community, which is gaining attention as a form of teacher centered professional development, need to more focus on identifying actual effects and provide systemic and practice-based measures. 본 연구는 메타분석을 통해 교사전문성 개발 활동의 효과를 종합하고, 기관중심 및 교사중심 전문성 개발 활동 간의 효과크기를 비교하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국내에서 발간된 학술지 및 박사학위논문 총 14편(k=66)을 대상으로 메타분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 교사전문성 개발 활동효과의 평균 크기는 0.669였으며 이는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 둘째, 기관중심 교사전문성 개발 활동(0.673)에 비해 교사중심(1.084)의 평균적 효과 크기가 더 큰 것으로 나타났으나 이는 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 셋째, 효과 크기 연구들 간에는 상당한 이질성이 존재했으며, 전문성 개발활동 주제 영역(활동 밀도)이 이질성과 연관되어 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 다음의 시사점을 제시하였다. 첫째, 교사전문성 개발 활동의 효과에대한 연구가 보다 활발해 질 필요가 있다. 둘째, 단발적이고 단기적인 기관중심 연수보다는 장기적으로 운영될 수 있는 교사중심 전문성 개발 활동이 효과적인 측면에서 보다 유리할 수 있다. 마지막으로 교사중심 전문성 개발 활동 중 최근 부각되는 전문적학습공동체에 대한 효과성 분석 연구를 통해 보다 체계적이고 실제적인 운영 방안의 마련이 필요하다.

이미미 한국역사교육학회 2015 역사교육연구 Vol.- No.23

실질적인 교육 개혁을 수행하는 주체가 교사라는 점에서 교원 연수는 역사 교수·학습의 질적 제고에 있어 중요한 기재이며, 체계적이고 지속적인 연구가 필요한 영역이다. 본 연구에서는 효과적인 교사 연수와 관련한 선행 연구를 분석하여 효과적인 교사 연수 프로그램의 4가지특성을 정리하고, 이러한 특성을 반영하여 역사 교사 연수 프로그램을 설계한 3개 사례를 분석하였다. 효과적인 교사 연수 프로그램은 (1) 장기적·지속적이며, (2) 현장에 뿌리를 두고 있고, 단순 지식 전달이 아닌 교사 탐구를 중요시한다. 또한 (3) 연수에 참여한 교사 간, 그리고참여 교사와 연수 담당자 간 협력적 관계를 중시하고, (4) 구체적 교과 내용을 바탕으로 학생이 정말로 무엇을 배웠는지에 초점을 둔다. 3개 역사 교사 연수 프로그램 분석을 통해서는 이와 같은 특성을 적용한 다양한 방식의 설계를 확인하였고, 연수 프로그램 효과를 평가하는 방법에서 나타나는 특징과 한계를 살펴보았다. 나아가 분석 결과에 기초하여 차후 우리의 교사연수 프로그램의 설계 및 평가에 활용할 수 있는 시사점을 도출하였다. Professional development is often regarded as a key in bringing educational reforms. The scholarly interests in professional development research, thus, rose sharply during past decades. This study asks what qualities effective history teacher professional development should have and how we can construct one and evaluate its effectiveness. Previous studies argue that effective professional development programs are (1) long-term and sustained, (2) focuses on classroom practices and provided multiple opportunities to practice the new content and skills introduced in professional development. They also emphasize (3) building a collaborative environment which enables and sustains teacher learning and (4) focusing on content areas and student learning. This study analyzed three cases of a professional development program for history teachers which employed these qualities of effective professional development. The case analysis focused on the design and evaluation of each program. The analysis demonstrated various ways putting these qualities into a program along with multiple methods of evaluating the program effectiveness. The implications for Korean history teacher professional development are discussed based on the analysis results.

This study examined professional development systems in America, England, and Australia, and devised ways to enhance early childhood teachers' professional development in Korea. To suggest effective ways to improve current professional development system and its operation, this research aimed to investigate first, advanced professional development systems and policies in three countries, America, England, and Australia, second, the process of teacher qualification and requirements for acquiring teacher credential and its maintenance, and lastly, the effort of quality control for professional development, its operation, and evaluation systems in three countries. Based on the analysis of the three country’s systems, five solutions for effective professional development are suggested. First, it is necessary to differentiate requirements for teachers by the level of teacher credentials. Second, an incessant training process for professional development is required. Third, an individualized professional development plan should be set for an individual teacher for the best outcomes in professional competence. Fourth, instructors for professional development trainings are needed to ensure the quality of training. Lastly, individuals, organizations, and policy and its operation systems need to be considered holistically as a whole in the perspective of convergence in policy making and its operation for effective professional development.

Cases of Exemplary Science Teachers’ Professional Development Efforts

곽영순 한국지구과학회 2003 韓國地球科學會誌 Vol.24 No.2

This qualitative research describes unique features of seven exemplary science teachers' professional development activities. Description of excellence in effective teachers' professional development efforts will provide some insights into required inservice initiatives and support systems for teachers' professional learning. Exemplary science teachers' professional development activities can be classified into four types: (1) practicing classroom supervision, (2) participating in voluntary communities of teachers, (3) playing instructional leader roles in teacher training programs, and (4) continuing one's studies at a graduate school. One of the common features of these exemplary teachers was that they can both articulate what makes teachers professionals and practice in accordance with their perspectives. These exemplary teachers not only improved their own classroom practices, but also participated actively in various professional communities to share their practical knowledge with their colleagues. The teachers have formed special-interest groups to investigate better ways of science teaching. They also took an active role in teachers' in-service education. Teachers' quality practices lie at the heart of classroom change. However, it's important to remember that there must be a support system that sustains and encourages teachers' initiatives. The implications for the support system to encourage teachers' professional development efforts are discussed.

Understanding Teachers’ Professional Identity from an International Literature Review

이주미 교육종합연구원 2014 교육종합연구 Vol.12 No.3

Recently, teachers’ professional identity has been an emerging research area due to the strong association with current important educational issues such as pre-service teacher training, effective teaching and teacher attrition. The purpose of this study was to review international studies on teachers’ professional identity to understand (a) cognitive factors that are significantly related to teachers’ professional identity and (b) the formation and development of pre-service and in-service teachers’ professional identity. In this study, several cognitive factors, such as teacher self-efficacy, teacher commitment, job motivation, and professional orientation, were discussed because those variables have been consistently used to assess teachers’ professional identity in many international studies. Additionally, studies on the development of pre-service or in-service teachers’ professional identity demonstrated that teaching experience and interactions with contexts were key to developing pre-service and in-service teachers’ professional identity. This study may encourage educators and researchers to implement applications of the information into Korean educational systems.
