신규 문화예술교육사의 현장교육경험에 대한 고찰 - 음악 분야 문화예술교육 현장을 중심으로

Abstract

This study aims to better understand the purpose of new arts & culture education instructors (ACEIs)’ on-site teaching experience and the necessary requisitions for their professional development in this field. Data from three new ACEIs and three content researchers have been collected for the purpose of analyzing their program discussion meetings, individual interview, and researchers’ reflection journals. When ACEIs experience actual in-class teaching, they spend more time thinking about their relationship with the students rather than their own artistic professionalism or teaching methods. They actively show a desire to address this issue. In particular, ACEIs reveal positive attitudes, such as seriously exploring a career in arts & culture education. However, research results also indicate that new ACEIs fall short in their understanding of arts & culture education’s basic philosophy, purpose, and direction. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen their capacity as educators rather than as performers. In conclusion, for ACEIs to become professionals in their fields, education courses for arts & culture teachers must first incorporate a more systematic and practical approach. Second, there must be a system to also provide them with additional support in their on-site teaching fields.
