Abstract

A variety of educational policies have been implemented to educate outstanding individuals who will lead the future and to adopt supporting systems. For the successful implementation of educational policies, it is crucial to identify the perception of teachers as main agents of education. This study conducted a survey with elementary teachers in Chungcheongbuk-do. The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers' perception on the major policies related to ICT(i.e., STEAM, Smart Education, Software Education, e-textbook, and EdudataSystem). This study also compared the distribution of teachers' perception on the policies. The results of the study indicated that teachers had relatively positive perception on the importance and the necessity of the policies. On the other hand, it was found that the levels of teachers' training experiences and readiness for teaching related to ICT were relatively low. In addition, the patterns of teachers' perception on STEAM, Smart Education and Software Education were similar. Based on the results, the study suggested that appropriate support and educational strategies for effective implementation of policies should be established.

미래를 주도할 우수한 인재를 양성하고, 이를 지원하기 위한 시스템을 도입하기 위해 정부는 다양한 교육정책을 실시해왔다. 교육정책의 원활한 적용을 위해서는 교육 주체인 교사의 인식을 알아보는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 충청북도에 근무하는 초등교사들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여, 미래교육 대비 정보 관련 주요 정책인 STEAM교육, 스마트교육, 소프트웨어교육, e-교과서, 교육정보통계시스템에 대한 초등교사들의 인식 실태를 조사하고, 주요 교육정책 간 교사의 인식 분포는 어떠한지를 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 교육정책에 대한 이해와 필요성에 대해서는 많은 교사들이 긍정적인 평가를 하였으나, 교사들의 연수 경험이나 희망 수준, 그리고 지도 준비 수준은 높지가 않았다. 또한 각 교육정책 간 교사들의 인식 분포는 서로 유사하게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 나타난 결과를 참고하여 정부의 교육 혁신 정책이 학교 현장에서 효과적으로 반영되기 위한 적절한 지원 및 교육 방안이 수립되어야 하겠다.
