Methodological Review of Research Literature on the Expertise of Science Teachers

과학 교사 전문성 연구의 방법론적 고찰

  • Published : 2008.02.29

Abstract

This is a qualitative review of research literature on the expertise of science teachers. The study first identified a common point of view which the relevant literature shared about teacher expertise. Research methods employed in previous studies were then categorized into four groups, and the characteristics of each group of research methods were discussed. The groups of research methods included uses of questionnaires and interviews, visual representations, classroom observations and discourse analyses, and narrative inquiry. The study finally suggested what aspects of science teachers' expertise should be considered and what sorts of research methods could be employed for future research in this area.

본 연구는 과학 교사 전문성에 관한 경험적인 연구들에서 사용하고 있는 연구 방법들에 대해 정성적으로 고찰해 보는 문헌 연구이다. 관련 문헌을 검토하여 기존 연구들이 교사의 전문성에 관하여 공유하고 있는 기본적인 관점이 무엇인지 기술하였다. 다음으로 그동안의 연구들에서 사용되었던 방법들을 네 가지로 유형화하고, 각각의 특징을 실제 연구 사례를 중심으로 논의하였다. 이때 분류된 연구 방법들의 유형은 질문지 또는 면담법, 시각적 표상을 이용한 방법, 수업 관찰 및 담화 분석, 그리고 내러티브 탐구이다. 이러한 방법론적인 고찰을 통해 과학 교사 전문성에 관한 앞으로의 연구에서 고려해야 할 점들과 새롭게 시도해 볼 필요가 있는 연구 방법들을 제안하였다.
