Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the teacher expertise to be evaluated in the secondary science teacher employment test (TET, hereafter) in order to respond to changes in educational environments including the transition to competency-based curriculum, and ways to improve the first exam in major areas in the current TET. For this purpose, Delphi surveys and in-depth interviews were conducted with 18 professors of science education who have experience in the TET. According to the research results, teacher expertise such as subject teaching, student understanding, intelligence information utilization, community competencies, and so on were suggested. Ways to improve science content exam in the TET include securing fairness and validity by increasing the number of questions, strengthening the connection with the secondary school curriculum, updating assessment areas for certificate subjects periodically, etc. Ways to improve science education exam in the TET include research and development on the types of science education questions, introducing essay test to science education exam, development of a standardized curriculum on science education, etc. Based on the research results, the necessity of revising the curriculum for teacher training colleges, differentiating curriculum between teachers' colleges and natural science colleges, and reforming the teacher training system by introducing graduate school of education were suggested.

이 연구의 목적은 역량기반 교육과정으로의 전환 등과 같은 교육환경 변화에 부응하기 위해 과학과 중등교사임용시험에서 평가해야 할 교사역량을 살펴보고, 이를 토대로 현행 중등과학과 교사임용시험의 1차 전공영역 평가의 개선 방안을 모색하려는 것이다. 이를 위해 중등교사임용시험 출제경험이 있는 과학교육학 교수 18명을 대상으로 두 차례의 델파이 조사와 심층면담을 실시하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 과학과 중등교사임용시험에서 평가해야 할 교사역량으로는 교수활동, 학생이해지도, 인공지능 등과 같은 지능정보활용, 공동체 전문성 등이 제안되었다. 과학과 중등교사임용시험 1차 과학내용학 시험 개선 방안으로는 문항수 증가를 통한 실질적 공정성과 타당도 제고, 중등학교 교육과정과의 연계성 제고, 10년 정도 주기로 표시과목 업데이트 등이 제안되었다. 중등교사임용시험 1차 과학교육학 시험 개선 방안으로는 과학교육학 문항 유형에 대한 연구·개발, 교과교육학을 논술형으로 출제, 과학 교육학에 대한 표준화된 커리큘럼 개발 등이 제안되었다. 연구결과를 토대로 교사양성대학 교육과정 개정의 필요성, 과학과의 경우 사범대학과 자연대학의 커리큘럼 차별화의 필요성, 교육전문대학원 도입과 같은 교사양성체제 개혁의 필요성 등을 제언하였다.
