사범대 학생들의 미래 교육 활용에 대한 인식 분석－영어교육과 윤리교육 전공의 비교 연구

Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the perceptions of pre-service teachers regarding the integration of advancedtechnologies into future education and to examine whether these perceptions differ significantly based on the pre-service teachers'academic majors. The participants consisted of 110 pre-service teachers majoring in Ethics education and English educationat a university in Korea's Gyeongsang Province. A questionnaire comprising 59 items was administered, addressing aspectssuch as interest in the utilization of advanced technologies, resistance to their use, concerns about their application, andexpectations for the future of education over the next decade. Statistical analyses, including a paired t-test, an independent t-test,frequency analysis, and analysis of variance, were employed to examine differences based on variables of gender and major. The study revealed statistically significant disparities in the perceptions of pre-service teachers from distinct majors,particularly between English education majors and ethics education majors, concerning the incorporation of advancedtechnologies in education. English education majors demonstrated notably high awareness, particularly in the domain of neuralmachine translation. Conversely, ethics education majors demonstrated a lower inclination to embrace the use of advancedtechnologies in their instructional practices. Additionally, ethics education majors expressed the belief that the role of teacherswould become more pivotal in classes integrating these technologies. Considering these research outcomes, it becomes evidentthat future education for pre-service teachers should underscore comprehensive training in both digital technology educationand the development of competencies in areas where artificial intelligence cannot replace the role of educators.
