Abstract

This study aimed to investigate teacher learning in the context of a community. For the purpose of this study, two research questions about the kinds of teacher noticing in a community and the role of partnership were addressed. To build a learning community, a professional development project, PRIME, established partnerships with 11 high schools and one of the cluster meetings were investigated in this study. Three mentor teachers, three preservice teachers, and one university supervisor participated in the cluster meeting. For this study, the multiple data such as audio tapes of cluster meetings, observation notes, and interviews were analyzed using the analysis of narratives. The results showed that the participants engaged in different kinds of noticing of their own beliefs about teaching and learning, teacher practices, and teacher identities including noticing of students' understanding in classroom situations. The partnership played the crucial role of reinforcing relationships among teachers, assigning tasks, and creating various communities.

본 연구의 목적은 공동체의 맥락에서 일어나는 교사 학습을 관찰하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 공동체에서 교사가 노티스(주목) 하는 것의 종류와 공동체를 구성하게 한 파트너십의 역할에 관한 연구 문제를 제기하였다. 본 연구에서 관찰한 학습 공동체는 PRIME이라는 전문성 발달 프로젝트를 통해 대학과 학교간의 파트너십을 기반으로 생성된 팀들 가운데 하나로 세 명의 멘토교사와 세 명의 예비교사, 한 명의 대학에서 온 감독관이 참여하였다. 연구를 위하여 학교에서의 미팅은 오디오 녹음으로 자료화하고 관찰 노트와 인터뷰 등의 여러 자료를 내러티브 분석법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 참가자들은 학습 공동체에서의 활동을 통하여 교실 활동 상황을 포함한 교수 학습에 관한 활동과 자신들의 교수 학습에 관한 신념 등을 새롭게 노티스하게 되었다. 파트너십은 교사들 간의 관계를 강화하고 임무를 할당하며 다양한 공동체를 구성하는데 필수적인 역할을 하였다.
