협력과 연계, 땜질식 변화를 넘어 근본 처방으로-초등교원 양성 교육과정의 과제와 개선 방안-

Abstract

The curriculum of university of education has repeatedly improved. The calls for improving,however, has continued. Especially students and teachers, the recipients of the teacher educationprogram, have had a grievance against it. It means the totally different perspectives on analyzing theproblems and tasks of the curriculum is needed. This is the starting point of this study. In this study, we analyzed the history of the curriculum formation, focusing on the organizationalmeaning as well as the implication of the change, not the change of the content itself. Furthermore,reconsidering the problems raised by students and teachers, we tried to find out the key points of theproblems raised so far. In addition, we tried to search the relation between the historical change andthe tasks of the curriculum for primary school teachers. The result of this study is ‘liberal arts curriculum which has narrow choice,’ ‘sometimes helpfulpedagogy,’ ‘insufficient practice,’ ‘subject curriculum which is thought as both useful and unuseful,’‘terrible gathering,’ and ‘evaluation as a red tape,’ which were combined to confirm the fact that ‘thecore of the curriculum is educators.’ Changes in educators are more important than changes ofcontent of the curriculum. Furthermore, ‘cooperation’ among them is crucial and, because teachereducation is conducted not only in the university but also in schools, ‘liaison’ between the universityand schools is also significant. In addition, school operation which strengthens students’ self-relianceand a culture of reflective evaluation about curriculum together is needed.
