Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the change in the classes of beginning science teachers through the collaborative mentoring program that induce reflective thinking practice. Participants in this study were three mentor-teachers, two teachers in doctor's or master's course, one university professor, and three mentee-teachers who have less than four years of teaching experience. We collected data such as video recordings of the mentee-teachers' classroom teaching and transcription, lesson plans, recording of one-on-one mentoring and transcription, mentor and mentee's journals, and RTOP classroom teaching observation reports. RTOP was used for the analysis of classroom teaching and mentee-teachers' recognition and changes in their classes were found out through journals and one-on-one mentoring interview materials. According to mentee-teachers' recognition and changes in their classes during the mentoring program, they themselves recognized their teacher-centered teaching style, misconception, and lack of content knowledge. Furthermore, there were changes in the mentee-teachers' classroom teaching through their reflective practice and improvement. As a result of this study, the interactions with mentor-teachers through collaborative mentoring program stimulated mentee-teacher's reflections on their teaching. Therefore, these reflections led to their reflective practice that showed progressive changes in their teaching behavioral activities. The extent of these changes varied according to the mentee-teachers' individual disposition toward reflection and the issue of whether mentee-teachers' reflective practice was in accordance with priorities in motivational ZDP or not. Also based on the results of this study, the teachers' reflection was not all accompanied by reflective practice even if the beginning science teachers made some partial changes in reflective practice through reflection. It means that it is hard to lead reflective practice for mentee-teachers through mentoring in a short period of time. Therefore, we consider that a systematic and long-term mentoring program is necessary for beginning science teachers.

이 연구는 초임 중등과학교사를 대상으로 교수에 대한 반성적 사고와 반성적 실천을 유도하는 협력적 멘토링 과정에서 멘토링 전후의 교수행위의 특징과 실제수업에서의 변화를 통해 교수실행의 반성적 실천이 어떻게 발전되어 가는지를 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구 참여자는 대학교수 1명, 박사 석사과정에 있는 연구자 2명, 3명의 멘토교사와 3명의 멘티교사 등 총 9명이 참여하였다. 멘토링 과정에서 멘티수업 녹화본 및 전사본, 학습지도안, 일대일 멘토링 녹음 및 전사본, 멘토 저널과 멘티 저널, RTOP 교수 관찰지 등의 자료를 수집하였다. 수업의 분석은 RTOP을 이용하였으며, 멘티교사의 수업에 있어서의 인식과 변화는 자신의 교수행위에 대한 반성(reflection)과 반성적 실천(reflective practice)으로 범주화하여 수업실행 전후의 멘티저널, 멘토링 협의회 녹음전사본, 멘토링 후 멘티 저널을 바탕으로 분석하였다. 초임 과학교사 3명의 멘토링 이전 수업의 특징은 교과내용지식과 관련된 측면은 어느 정도 구성되어 있으나, 학생들에게 다양한 탐구활동의 기회를 제공해주는 탐구적 교수법과 학생들의 능동적 지식 구성을 강화하는 수업방법에 있어서는 매우 취약함을 보여주었다. 멘토링이 진행됨에 따라 3명의 멘티교사의 차시별 수업을 분석한 결과, 멘티교사별로 상승곡선의 경향이 다소 다르게 나타나기는 하나, RTOP의 평균 점수는 점진적으로 높아진 것으로 나타났다. 협력적 멘토링이 진행되는 과정에서 멘티교사의 교수실행의 변화로 나타난 반성적 실천에서는, 멘토링 과정에서 3명의 멘티교사 모두 수업에 대한 반성이 일어나며 점진적으로 반성 수준이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 협력적 멘토링을 통해 멘티교사에게 수업반성의 기회를 제공하고 피드백하는 과정에서 멘티교사의 반성적 성향이 강하게 나타났으며, 이와 함께 반성적 실천에 의한 실제수업에서의 변화로 이어졌다. 이는 수업반성을 통해 교수기술의 향상을 가져옴을 알 수 있다.
