Abstract

Purpose of study : the purpose of this study is to propose an alternative church teacher education based on practice inquiry, which is one of the qualitative research paradigm. Research Contents and Methods : This study involved an analysis of the previous studies on the improvement strategies for church teacher education, verification of the appropriateness of the qualitative research paradigm in relation to the nature and content of faith, which is the objective of church education, and an exploration of alternative teacher education through practice inquiry, one of the qualitative research methods. The findings of the study are as follows: First, the analysis of the previous studies on improvement strategies for church teacher education categorized the studies into those proposing the enhancement of teaching competencies reflecting the demands of the changing educational environment, vocational and leadership training, and alternative educational models. Second, it was confirmed that teacher education should aim for a qualitative research paradigm in order to cultivate the expertise necessary for teaching the holistic and practical knowledge of faith, which is the objective and content of church education. Third, practice inquiry can serve as an alternative teacher education method that encompasses the exploration, execution, and reflection on the acts of faith education. Fourth, practice inquiry includes investigating the educational actions of teachers aimed at understanding learners' faith from the learners' perspective and assisting in the transformation and growth of their faith, which is made possible through a practice inquiry community. Conclusions and Recommendations : The professionalism of church teachers can be realized through the exploration of their practices in faith education. It is anticipated that subsequent research will attempt to propose practical cases of teacher education based on practice inquiry in actual church education settings.

연구 목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 교회 교사교육의 대안으로 질적 연구 패러다임의 연구방법 중 하나인 실천탐구에 기반한 교사교육을 제안하는 것이다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 본 연구는 교회 교사교육의 개선방안에 관한 선행연구를 분석하고, 교회교육의 목적이자 내용인 신앙의 성격과 질적 연구 패러다임의 적합성을 확인하고, 질적 연구방법 중 하나인 실천 탐구를 통해 대안적 교사교육을 탐색하는 과정으로 수행되었다. 연구 결과는 다음의 세 가지이다. 첫째, 교회 교사교육의 개선방안에 관한 선행연구를 분석한 결과 변화하는 교육환경의 요구를 반영한 교수 역량 강화 교육, 소명과 리더십 교육, 대안적 교육모델 연구 제안으로 구분되었다. 둘째, 교회교육의 목적이자 내용인 신앙의 전인적 실천적 지식을 가르치기 위한 전문성을 함양하기 위해 교사교육은 질적 연구 패러다임을 지향해야 함을 확인하였다. 셋째, 실천 탐구(practice inquiry)는 신앙교육의 행위를 탐구하고 실행하고 성찰하는 과정을 포함하는 대안적 교사교육 방법이 될 수 있다. 넷째, 실천탐구는 학습자의 관점에서 학습자의 신앙을 이해하고, 학습자의 신앙의 변화와 성장을 돕기 위한 교사의 교육행위를 탐구하는 것을 포함하며 실천 탐구 공동체를 통해서 가능하다. 결론 및 제언 : 교회 교사의 전문성은 교사의 신앙교육 실천을 탐구하는 것을 통해 가능하다. 실제 교회교육 현장에서 실천탐구에 기반한 교사교육의 실행 사례를 제안하는 후속 연구가 시도되기를 기대한다.
