수석교사제의 법제화가 학교 현장에 미치는 영향

Abstract

As a study on the 'Master Teacher System' that was initially carried out through legislationin 2012, the objective of this study is to examine the development measures for its successfulsettlement by analyzing the educational roles of the Master Teacher System in accordance withlegislation, based on the actual condition of operating the Master Teacher System and teachers'perception in the Gangwon-do province. This study conducted a Delphi survey for eight master teachers and an in-depth interviewmethod for seven teachers of 47 schools within the Gangwon-do area. In the results of the analysis, the changes of school in accordance with legislation were showndifferently for each school. They started having an atmosphere to pursue qualitative changesin education as master teachers who became mentally confident and honorable owing tolegislation had increased activity wills. Focusing on new teachers and less experienced-teachers,the opportunity of 'increasing professionalism of classes' was increased as there were alsochanges in relations between master teachers and teachers dependent on various positions andschool conditions. Though the Master Teacher System was legislated, the educational roles which are 'buildinga climate in which teachers with professionalism are given preferential treatment' and'strengthening professionalism of the whole teachers' are still insufficient at showing the limitsof these roles. Thus we suggest that development measures including setting up clear positionand roles of master teachers, securing qualitative level of master teachers, and formingcooperative relations with master teachers be introduced.
