Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate ways to introduce mentoring system to support beginning and experienced teachers for their professional development. As an alternative to existing teacher training programs, we planned and implemented a mentoring system to examine its effects in developing professionalism among teachers-in-need, and those who have not met the teacher's evaluation standards. Mentoring is defined as being concerned with promoting the 'development of an individual to his/her full potential,' both professionally and personally. It is linked with professional and career development, and is somewhat characterized by an 'expert-novice' relationship. The mentoring system in science features group mentoring, where 3 prot$\'{e}$g$\'{e}$-mentor teams gathered together for instructional consulting using their videotaped classroom teaching. Through video-based discussions, teachers could share reflective experiences through collaborative investigations based on evidences revealed in classroom teaching videos. Using open-ended interviews with the teachers and video-based discussions, we extracted needs and goals of mentoring, the need of mentoring system to support beginning teachers, and the requirement of mentor quality in light of mentor's expected roles. Conclusions and recommendations related to teachers' mentoring and for the government's development of mentoring system are discussed.

이 연구의 목적은 초임교사를 포함하여 수업전문성 개발이 요구되는 교사를 지원하기 위한 방편으로써 멘토링 체제의 효과와 가능성을 탐구하는 것이다. 최근에는 수업전문성 제고를 통한 교사의 책무성 제고가 요청되며, 여기서 현장 경험 속에서 교사의 수업전문성을 신장시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로 멘토링이 주목되고 있다. 멘토링이란 개별 교사의 전문성과 경력발달과 연계하여 해당 교사가 전문적으로 그리고 개인적으로 성장할 수 있도록 지원하는 것으로 때로는 전문가-초보 관계로 운영된다. 본 연구에서는 교사전문성개발을 지원하기 위한 대안으로서 멘토링 체제 도입 방안에 대하여 살펴보았다. 교과별로 멘토-멘티를 최소 3쌍 정도 구성하여 멘토링을 시범운영해 본 결과를 토대로 멘토링 체제 도입과 관련된 시사점을 논의하였다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 단원의 전 차시 수업에 대하여 멘토와 멘티가 수업동영상을 만들고 그 동영상을 활용하여 수업컨설팅에 초점을 둔 멘토링(video-based discussions)을 진행하였다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 참여교사의 개인적, 집단적 발전을 촉진할 수 있었다. 멘토와 멘티가 협력하여 수업에서 드러난 증거에 기반을 둔 공동탐구를 수행함으로써 반성적 경험을 공유할 수 있게 된다. 과학과 멘토링 체제 적용 결과를 멘토링의 필요성과 목적, 초임교사 지원을 위한 멘토링의 필요성, 역할 기대에 비추어본 멘토의 자격에 초점을 맞추어 논의하였다. 결론에서는 멘토링 체제 운영상의 유의점을 논의하였다.
