초록

본 연구의 목적은 고경력의 한 초등학교 교사의 생애사를 살펴보고 그의 생애 과정 동안 일어난 과학 수업의 변화 양상을 이해하는 것이었다. 연구 참여자인 박 교사와의 생애사 면담 및 생애사 자료를 바탕으로 생애 이야기를 작성하고, 박 교사의 생애 동안 어떤 외부 요인과 개인 요인의 상호 관계 속에서 과학 수업이 변해 왔는지 그 양상을 시기별로 나누어 분석하였다. 연구의 결과로서 수업 변화기 I에서는 박 교사가 외부 요인의 영향을 적극적으로 수용하여 수업을 변화시킴으로써 학생 중심의 과학 수업에 대한 전문성의 싹을 틔웠음을 알 수 있었다. 반면, 수업 변화기 II에는 박 교사가 외부 요인에 의한 수업 변화 흐름에 비판적으로 대응하면서 자신만의 수업 방식을 다져 나갔다. 마지막으로 수업 변화기 III에서는 박 교사가 자신의 개인 요인에 의해 외부 요인의 영향을 긍정적인 것으로 전환하면서 수업 변화를 이루었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 수업 변화를 위해서는 교사의 생애 주기와 전문성의 정도를 고려한 정책이 필요하며 교육 변화와 관련된 요인들에 대한 교사들의 성찰과 전환 노력이 있어야 함을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the life history of a highly experienced elementary school teacher, Mr. Park and to understand how his science teaching practices have changed throughout his educational career. Using life history interviews with Mr. Park and his life history materials as data sources, a life story of the participant teacher was constructed. The ways teaching changed in the inter-relationship between external and personal factors were then analyzed according to three temporal periods of teaching changes. It was revealed that in the first period of teaching change, Mr. Park changed his science teaching practices by actively accepting influences from external factors, which in turn enabled him to start developing his expertise in student-centered science instruction. By contrast, in the second period of teaching change, Mr. Park strengthened his own ways of teaching while responding critically to the trends of educational change by external factors. In the third and final period of teaching change, Mr. Park made changes in teaching practices by taking advantage of his personal factors to convert influences of external factors into positive ones. Based on these findings, it was suggested that educational policies for teaching changes should be provided in consideration of teachers' life cycles and their expertise and that teachers should make efforts to reflect on the factors for educational change and transform them into positive ones.
