예비 과학 교사의 디지털 탐구 수업전문성 신장을 위한 PLC 프로토콜 개발 및 적용

Abstract

This study developed a six-step protocol for use within a professional learning community (PLC) to enhance preservice teachers’ expertise in digital inquiry-based and explored its applicability in preservice Earth science teacher education. The protocol was implemented with twelve preservice teachers, and data from transcribed discussions and activity outcomes The six stages of the protocol included: (1) articulating conceptions of science inquiry teaching, (2) articulating conceptions of digital inquiry teaching, (3) sharing cases of digital inquiry-based lessons, (4) learning strategies for digital inquiry-based instruction, (5) designing digital inquiry-based lessons, and (6) implementing and reflecting on digital inquiry-based teaching. The participants engaged productively in each stage generating meaningful outcomes, indicating that the PLC protocol is practically applicable in preservice science teacher education. Based on these findings, we propose pedagogical implications and strategies for utilizing protocol-based PLCs to foster digital inquiry-based teaching expertise among preservice science teachers.
