일반고의 교수학습 질 분석:계층이 다른 평준화 고등학교를 대상으로

Abstract

In this paper, I discuss in what ways schooling is influenced by social class and to what extent there are differences in terms of quality of education of schools located in the same city where equalization policy is applied. The data was collected for the case study in 2005, which is part of project to evaluate the equalization policy(Ⅲ) by Korean Educational Development Institute. I discuss how teachers expect students at each, how the lessons are taught, how individual differences are considered, how the evaluation is being made, and how the teachers make efforts to improve the quality of lessons. The most general type of school lesson is teacher-based lecture type lesson. Even though the grades, social classes, and interests of the students are prominently unlike, the “interesting lessons”, “lessons to learn from”, and “well-taught lessons” have some features in common. Students are concentrated, and are satisfied during lessons when the teachers trust the learning ability of all students, explain basic concepts and principles so that students can easily understand, give opportunities to solve the problems by themselves, create a learning atmosphere in which students can easily get help from the teacher or other students, systemize checking the students’ability to solve problems and understand, and are highly humorous. Even these lessons are not enough to regard the individual differences of the students. The lack of consideration towards individual difference was also a significant factor that made students dependent on private institutes or private tutors. In order to level up the quality of school education, it is necessary to overcome uniform educational culture and develop an educational culture that respects and regards each individual and pursues ease all together. However, it is not necessary to physically separate the space of students to respect and regard individuals. We can see that it is possible to be satisfied with the lesson quality studying both together and separately in the same space is from the examples of so called “lessons to learn from” and “good lessons”.
