Abstract

This study explores lectures experienced by pre-service early childhood teachers at 'S' university who took the linked-courses in Early Childhood Education major, and examine its in-depth meaning. The 29 study participants demonstrated a mock class during the Early Childhood Teaching Method course and developed teaching materials for demonstration during the Early Childhood Teaching Material and Teaching Method course in the first semester of 2017. The researchers analyzed group-based learning journal, teaching portfolio and focus-group interview of pre-service early childhood teachers. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, pre-service early childhood teachers found that the balanced linkage of two subjects enabled them to effectively concentrate on the course. Second, they were able to organize linked-knowledge by creating teaching materials and preparing for the course after learning from their mistakes. Third, the teachers became able to understand the importance of the experience of linked-courses in Early Childhood Education major. Fourth, they also got to understand the value of special bonds among group members. To summarize, this study suggests the necessity and importance of pre-service early childhood teachers' experience of linked-courses in Early Childhood Education major for their education course.

본 연구의 목적은 유아교육과의 전공교과 연계형 강의를 수강한 S대학교 예비유아교사들이 경험한 수업 탐색과 그 의미를 심층적으로 살펴보는 것이다. 연구 참여자 29명은 2017-1학기 영유아교수법 과목에서 모의수업을 시연하였고 유아교과교재 및 연구법과목에서는 수업시연을 위한 교과교재 제작을 하였으며, 연구자들은 예비유아교사들의 스터디 그룹별 학습과정 저널과 개인 수업 포트폴리오, 포커스-그룹 면담 등을 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 예비유아교사들은 유아교육 전공교과 연계형 강의 경험의 교육적 효과로 균형 잡힌 두 교과목의 연계로 효율적인 수업 집중이 가능함을 장점으로 인식하였다. 둘째, 예비유아교사들은 유아교육 전공교과 연계형 강의 경험의 교육적 효과로 시행착오를 통한 교구 제작과 수업 준비로 연계지식을 구성하게 되었다고 하였다. 셋째, 전공교과 연계형 강의 경험을 통한 예비유아교사의 깨달음은 유아교육 전공교과 연계형 수업의 중요성을 예비유아교사 교육과정 중에 인식한 것이다. 넷째, 전공교과 연계형 강의 경험을 통한 예비유아교사의 깨달음은 연계한 그룹 조원들과의 상호 유대감 증진의 소중함으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 유아교사를 위한 교사교육과정에서 전공교과 연계형 수업 경험의 필요성과 중요성을 시사한다.
