Abstract

This paper introduces a fundamental investigation into the establishment of a framework for integrating fieldwork into special education teacher preparation programs. This paper introduces a comprehensive framework for the implementation of semester-based practicum systems in special education teacher training programs. The paper delineates essential stages including preparation, adaptation, responsibility readiness, mutual responsibility, and evaluation, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, hands-on training, and feedback interactions. Moreover, the study delves into practical learning frameworks such as the Experiential Learning Model, Sociocultural Theory, and the Apprenticeship of Observation Model. It highlights their significance in connecting theoretical concepts with practical applications and in cultivating reflective practices among pre-service special education teachers. Moreover, the study explores two significant practicum models, namely the Class-Academy Model and the Professional Development Schools (PDS) Model, examining their elements, advantages, and impacts on teacher education programs. The paper provides valuable insights into improving the preparation of special education teachers by incorporating structured practicum experiences and innovative models that blend theoretical knowledge with practical application.

본 논문은 교육실습 이론에 대한 고찰을 바탕으로 특수교육 교사 교육 프로그램에서 현장실습학기제 모형개발을 위한 기초연구이다. 교육실습이론의 주요단계인 준비, 적응, 책임 준비, 상호 책임, 평가의 특징을 분석하고, 협력, 실용적인 훈련 및 피드백 교환의 중요성을 확인하였다. 또한, 학습 경험 모델인 체험학습 모델, 사회문화 이론 및 관찰의 견습생 모델을 비롯한 실용적 학습 모델을 검토하며, 선행 특수교육 교사들 사이에서 이론과 실무를 연결하고반성적 실천을 촉진하는 역할에 대해 살펴보았다. 더불어, Class-Academy 모델과 PDS 모델 등 두 가지 주요 실습모델을 살펴보고, 이들의 구성, 이점 및 교사 교육 프로그램에 미치는 영향을 논의하였다. 현장실습학기제를 통해 구조화된 실습 경험과 혁신적 모델을 통해 특수교육 교사 교육을 강화하는 방안에 대한 통찰을 제공하고자 하였다.
