Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the co-reflection of pre-service teacher community in three years of post-class discussions (PCD) on the basis of cultural historical activity theory in the case of an biological laboratory class program. We figured out the sociocultural elements of co-reflection of community using activity system suggested by $Engestr{\ddot{o}}m$. We also analyzed the aspect of reflection in terms of both 'the diversity of reflection subjects' and 'the practicality of reflection.' Finally, limitations of co-reflection were sought in a process of continuos circulation of reflection and practice. The results show that the sociocultural factors of 3-year-PCD changed, and in these changes, 'regular PCD,' 'introduction of tools for facilitating reflection,' 'transition of the subject in PCD from researcher to pre-service teachers' are remarkable. And in these process, co-reflection made positive progress since the content of reflection became diverse and practical. However, in some subjects such as 'managing time,' 'participation of students,' 'mentor's role (a kind of teaching manual),' reflective practice have not developed and similar patterns of discussion were repeated. From these results, we suggested ways of facilitating pre-service teacher community's co-reflection from the viewpoint of an activity system.

본 연구에서는 대학교와 학교 현장의 연계를 통하여 진행된 실험교실의 사례에서, 3년간의 수업 후 평가회에서 나타나는 예비교사 공동체의 반성을 문화역사활동이론의 관점에서 분석하였다. 먼저, $Engestr{\ddot{o}}m$이 제안한 활동 체계를 이용하여 사회문화적 요소를 파악하였고, 반성의 양상을 '반성 주제의 다양성'과 '반성의 실제성'의 측면으로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 그리고 공동체의 반성과 실행의 순환 과정 속에서 나타나는 한계점을 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 3년간의 수업 후 평가회에서 예비교사 공동체 반성의 사회문화적 요소는 변화하였는데, 수업평가회의 정례화, 도구의 도입, 평가회 운영 주체의 변화가 두드러지게 나타났다. 이 과정 속에서 반성의 주제는 다양해지고, 실제적인 논의가 이루어졌다. 그러나 시간 관리, 학생의 참여, 지도서인 '멘토의 역할'에 대해서는 반성적 실천이 발전되지 못하고 매번 비슷한 패턴의 논의가 반복되었다. 이러한 결과 분석을 토대로 활동체계의 측면에서 예비교사 공동체의 반성적 논의를 촉진시킬 수 있는 방법에 대하여 제언하였다.
