Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the strengths and problems of the current in-service education system, and suggest ways to improve it in the future by looking at the current status of in-service education to strengthen the expertise of teachers and directors of childcare centers. In particular, I would like to search the current status of in-service education, including on-line special job competency education, which is responsible for one of the pillars of in-service education, and present the problems and measures to improve them. Methods: To that end, the present study conducted an analysis of issues based on the previous research on in-service education of childcare teachers' education, and conducted a literature examination focusing on laws, policies, and foreign cases related to in-service education. Results: In-service education for childcare teachers was categorized into educational process diversification and professionalism, educational method diversification, qualification management, and educational support, which were again organized into 14 core tasks. In addition, as a recent phenomenon that has not been discussed in detail in the preceding study, the phenomenon of increased participation in on-line special job competency education at the site of in-service education was analyzed and the problems were presented. Conclusion/Implications: Based on the results of this study, I proposed development measures such as changing the term 'in-service education' and recognizing the diversity of job competency education, the credit rating banking system for job competency education, the provision of on-line job competency education curriculum (basic courses/enhancing courses) for collective education courses, the expansion of education support for promotion to a higher grade courses and the conversion of the mandatory evaluation system for in-service educational institutions.
본 연구는 보육교직원의 전문성을 강화하기 위한 보수교육의 현재 실태를 살펴봄으로써 현 보수교육체제의 강점과 문제점을 파악하고 향후 개선 방안을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 특히 보수교육의 한 축을 담당하는 온라인 특별직무교육을 포함하여 보육교직원 보수교육의 현재 실태를 살펴보고 그 문제점과 개선방안을 제시해 보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 보육교직원 보수교육에 관한 선행연구를 중심으로 쟁점 분석을 실시하였고 보수교육 관련 법령 및 정책을 중심으로 문헌고찰을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 보육교직원 보수교육의 쟁점은 교육과정의 다양화 및 전문성, 교육방법의 다양화, 자격관리, 교육지원 등으로 범주화되었고, 이는 다시 14개의 핵심과제로 정리되었다. 그동안의 선행연구에서는 거의 다루지 않았지만 최근에 두드러진 현상으로, 보수교육 현장의 온라인 특별직무교육 참여 증가 현상을 분석하고 문제점을 제시하였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 '보수교육' 용어의 변경, 직무교육의 다양화 인정, 직무교육의 학점은행제, 집합교육과정과 동일한 온라인 직무교육(기본과정/심화과정) 제공, 승급교육의 교육지원 확대, 보수교육기관 평가 의무제 전환 등의 발전방안을 제언하였다.
