핵심역량 도출을 통한 수석교사 교육과정 개발 탐색

Abstract

This study is based on the critical awareness that the extended provision of master teacher education programs is required for the successful implementation of the master teacher policy which was introduced for the improvement of primary and secondary school education in Korea. The study aims to explore the direction for the development of master teacher education curriculum, including both qualification and in-service programs, through eliciting master teachers' core competences. Master teacher core competences were elicited through 3 steps: development of a competence model through literature review, master teacher job analysis and experts consultation, the 1st questionnaire for experts and the 2nd questionnaire for master teachers. The outline of the curriculum was suggested to provide practical implications to the programme managers. The research findings suggest that master teachers require 15 core competences which are classified into 5 categories. By analyzing the importance level and the present level of competences, it also suggests that qualification program be developed based on the importance level and in-service program be based on the results of Borich needs assessment showing the difference between the required and present levels of core competences. It was found that master teachers were aware of the importance of educational research and school support activities as well as their classroom teaching practice and teacher support activities. The research findings are expected to be used for the improvement of master teacher training program curriculum and further for other teacher training programs.
