Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate implications for future STEAM education by analyzing the surveys by the in-service teachers who participated in the Advanced STEAM Teacher Training Program(ASTTP) for raising interests and understanding of science and technology and nurturing STEAM literacy and problem-solving ability of students. ASTTP was developed for promoting 'teacher competence for STEAM.' ASTTP is a 60-hour program(4 credits), which includes offline intensive course of 38 hours, online training course of 12 hours, a course of implementation at schools for 5 hours, and a workshop for 5 hours (based on the 2014 program). For the offline intensive course, teachers take various professional development classes and activities, such as open-laboratory tours, advanced experiments, mentoring programs, and team projects as well as lectures on diverse disciplines. For the online course, teachers take online classes freely while they are encouraged to work with other teachers in groups. After taking both online and offline courses, the teachers are required to implement their STEAM lesson plans in their classrooms. Finally at the workshop, some selected teachers share how successfully they have implemented STEAM education. About 700 teachers have successfully taken the program from 2012 to 2014. Based on the surveys by the teachers, the program has been modified and improved. Our analysis shows increased professional development in STEAM education for the participating teachers. This study can provide some implication and helpful insights for people who need to develop and manage teacher training programs for STEAM education and other education programs in general.

본 논문은 융합적 사고와 창의적 문제해결력을 지닌 인재 양성을 목표로 시작된 STEAM 교육의 현장확산을 위한 교사연수 중 심화과정 교사연수 프로그램의 개발과정 및 운영 결과를 바탕으로 STEAM 교사연수에 대한 시사점을 고찰하고자 한다. STEAM 심화과정 교사연수 프로그램은 교사들의 STEAM 역량 강화를 위하여 개발되었다. 총 60시간(4학점)의 직무연수로, 집합연수 38시간, 온라인 12시간, 현장적용 5시간, 성과발표 5시간으로 구성(3차년도 기준)하였다. 집합연수는 강의, 멘토교사수업, 실험실습 및 랩탐방, STEAM 수업자료 개발을 위한 조별활동, 포스터발표회로 구성되었다. 온라인 연수는 추가 강의 이수와 지속적인 교사 커뮤니티 활동을 이어갈 수 있도록 구성되었다. 또한 집합연수와 온라인 연수를 통해 개발된 STEAM 수업자료의 현장적용을 의무화하였다. 마지막으로 성과발표는 우수수업 사례 발표를 통해 교사들이 STEAM 교수 경험을 공유할 수 있도록 하였다. 2012-2014 동안 서울, 경기, 인천, 강원, 제주 지역의 초중등교사 약 700명이 본 연수를 이수하였다. 설문 조사 결과를 바탕으로 지속적으로 프로그램의 세부 내용 및 구성을 개선해나가면서 연수참여자들의 연수에 대한 만족도를 향상시켰다. 또한 본 연수 프로그램은 교사들의 STEAM에 대한 이해를 높이고, 자료개발과 현장적용을 통해 교사들의 STEAM 역량을 높이는데 효과적이었음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연수는 앞으로 이와 유사한 STEAM 교사연수 프로그램의 개발 및 운영에 참고가 될 수 있을 것이다.
