Abstract

Rapid growth of information and communication technology and changes in college student characteristics require for university instructors to diversify instructional improvement efforts. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a capacity that instructors need to build for making instructional design based on consolidated technology. Accordingly this study explores instructors' awareness of the importance and performance of TPACK and to inquire into their relationships with epistemological beliefs and social support as relevant factors through a survey carried out with 264 instructors. The study has shown that there is a significant difference between college instructors' awareness of the importance of TPACK and their awareness of its performance. Furthermore, it has shown that the awareness of importance and performance of TPACK is significantly related to the social support, and that among the sub-factors of the social support, significant influences are observed from the emotional support on their awareness of the importance of TPACK and from the informational support on their awareness of the performance of TPACK. These results provide fundamental data for measures to develop and support TPACK capacity of college instructors, suggesting that it requires a teaching support strategy to enhance social support for instructors above all things.

급속한 정보통신기술의 발달과 대학 학습자의 특성 변화에 따라 대학 교수자의 다양한 수업개선 노력이 요구되고 있다. 테크놀로지 내용교수지식(Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, TPACK)은 통합 테크놀로지 기반의 수업설계를 위해 교수자가 갖추어야 할 역량이라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 TPACK의 중요도와 실행도에 관한 대학 교수자의 인식을 알아보고, 이와 관련된 변인으로 인식론적 신념, 사회적 지지와의 관계를 규명하기 위해 264명의 교수자에게 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 대학 교수자의 TPACK 중요도와 실행도 인식 간에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 TPACK 중요도와 실행도 인식과 사회적 지지 간에 유의한 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 사회적 지지 하위요인 중에서 정서적 지지는 TPACK 중요도 인식에, 정보적 지지는 TPACK 실행도 인식에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 대학 교수자의 TPACK 역량 개발 및 지원을 위한 방안 수립에 기초자료를 제공하는 것으로, 무엇보다도 교수자의 사회적 지지 향상을 위한 교수지원 전략이 요구된다고 할 수 있다.
