초등영어교사의 정체성 발전을 위한 교사교육 모형 개발 및 적용 = Development and Application of a Teacher Education Model for the Identity Development of Primary English Teachers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to develop a teacher education model for the identity development of primary English teachers. It also examines the effects of the model on the teachers’ professional development when it was applied in a teacher education course. In addition, the teachers’ perceptions of English teacher identities and the factors that affect their identities were investigated. The participants were 18 graduate students registered in a class on second language teacher education taught by the researcher. Pre- and post-survey responses, autobiographic essays, and reflective journals were collected and qualitatively analyzed using content analysis. The findings are as follows: Firstly, the application of the teacher education model helped the participants to understand the theory, practice, and research in English teacher education as well as to reflect on and develop their identities as English teachers. Also, the teacher education course facilitated the teachers’ awareness of primary English teachers’ role identities and field-based communication between teachers. Thus, the teacher education course provided the teachers with various professional development opportunities. Secondly, the teachers realized English teacher identities existed distinct from homeroom teacher identities and indicated that their English teacher identities changed and developed in their relationships with students, other teachers, and administrators within the context the teachers were located. Thirdly, the teachers revealed the identities of nonnative English teachers, teacher learners, teacher researchers, and English users as well as of primary English teachers. Lastly, the teachers’ professional identities were affected by factors connected with the teachers’ personal backgrounds (English and English instructional skills), institutions (whether they taught English as English subject teachers or as homeroom teachers, teachers’ relationships and co-teaching with native English teachers, learners’ proficiency levels and responses to teachers’ instruction, working conditions of the schools where the teachers were employed), teacher education programs they had participated in (programs in the graduate school of education, intensive English teacher training programs, other teacher education programs), and the macro-structure (national English curriculum and English educational policies). Important implications for teachers, teacher educators, and policy makers regarding English teacher education, development of English teacher identities, and English teachers’ professional development are discussed.

본 연구는 초등영어교사들의 정체성 발전을 위한 교사교육 강좌를 개발하여 적용한 효과를 고찰하고, 초등영어교사들의 정체성에 대한 인식 및 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사했다. 모형이 적용된 강좌를 수강하는 초등교사 18명을 대상으로 사전 설문조사 및 자서전적 에세이, 1, 2차 성찰일지 및 사후 설문조사로 수집된 자료를 질적으로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 초등영어 교사교육 모형을적용한 결과 교사들은 초등영어 교사교육의 이론, 실제 및 연구에 대한 인식을 고양하게 되었고, 초등영어교사 정체성을 성찰하고 발전시키게 되었다. 또한 초등영어교사 역할 정체성을 명시화하게 되었고, 초등영어교사들의 현장 기반 소통이 향상되었다. 이처럼 교사교육 모형이 적용되면서 초등영어교사들은 전문성 신장의 기회를 가졌다. 둘째, 교사들은 초등영어교사 정체성이 교사들이 처한 맥락 안에서 학생, 교사, 관리자와의 관계 속에서 확립되며 변하고 발전되는 것으로 인식하고, 담임교사 정체성과는 구별해 인식했다. 셋째, 교사들은 초등영어교사 정체성 이외에도 비원어민 영어교사, 교사학습자, 교사연구자, 영어사용자의 정체성도 드러냈다. 넷째, 초등영어교사 정체성에 영향을 미친 요인은개인적 배경요인(교사의 영어능력 및 영어교수능력), 근무 학교(영어전담교사 여부, 원어민 교사 및 원어민 교사와의 협력수업, 학습자 수준 및 반응, 근무 학교 맥락), 교사교육 프로그램(대학원 프로그램, 심화연수 등 직무연수) 및 국가의 거시적 맥락(국가교육과정 및 영어교육정책)인 것으로 나타났다. 본연구결과는 영어 교사교육, 영어교사의 정체성 형성과 발달 및 전문성 신장과 관련해 교사, 교사교육가 및 정책입안자에게 중요한 시사점을 던져주고 있다.
