본 연구는 개정 교육과정의 안정적인 운영 방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 2009 개정 영어과 교육과정에 관한 고등학교 교사들의 관심수준을 알아보고자 하였다. 이러한 목적에 따른 연구 문제는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 2009 개정 영어과 교육과정에 관한 고등학교 교사의 전반적인 관심수준은 어떠한가? 둘째, 교사의 배경 변인에 따라 관심수준에 차이가 존재하는가? 본 연구는 이와 같은 연구 문제를 해결하기 위하여 부산 지역 고등학교 영어과 교사 102명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 2009 개정 영어과 교육과정에 대한 고등학교 교사들의 전반적인 관심수준은 낮게 나타났다. 교사의 배경 변인 별 관심수준의 차이를 분석한 결과, 교사의 연령, 교직 경력, 연수 참여 횟수, 직책에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 높은 연령과 교직 경력을 가진 교사일수록 교육과정에 대해 높은 운영적 관심을 보였으며 부장교사의 직책을 가진 교사일수록 높은 결과적 관심을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 개정 교육과정의 효율적인 운영을 위해 교사들의 관심을 더욱 발전적인 단계로 이끌기 위한 방향을 제시하였다.
나아가 이를 통하여 향후 2015 개정 교육과정의 성공적이고 안정적인 정착을 위한 방향을 모색하고자 하였다.
The purpose of this study is to minimize the teachers' confusions from repeated revisions of National Curriculum. Moreover, this study aspires toward setting up the guidelines for a properly operation of the National Curriculum. This will help to seeking a way to support the stable application of the 2015 revision Curriculum. To achieve this purpose, this study aims to analyze the high school teacher's Stage of Concern(SoC) of the 2009 revised English Curriculum.
The research questions are as follows: First, how about the high school teachers' overall SoC about the 2009 revision English Curriculum? Second, are there any differences in the high school teachers' SoC about the 2009 revision English Curriculum by individual background variables? For these research questions, this study conducted a survey. For the survey, revised SoC(Stage of Concerns) developed by Hall & Hord(2011) was used.
Targets were high school teachers who teach English studies in Busan, Korea. Finally, 102 questionnaires were analysed. All data analysis was accomplished using the IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0 for windows program. For analysis, profile analysis, MANOVA, and ANOVA were used.
The findings of the study were as follows.
First, as a result of the analysis about the high school teachers' overall SoC, the stages were indicated high in the order named; Stage 0-1-3-2-6-5-4. Generally, the profile of the teachers' SoC is that of the nonuser, the individual who has not begun using an innovation. However, according to the tendency that shows teachers' Stage 6 is higher than Stage 5, it is more similar with negative nonuser pattern. Also, the high school teachers had lots of concerns about 'How they operate the 2009 revision English Curriculum'. Because, their 3 Stage of Concerns were relatively high.
Second, as a result of Q2, whether there are any differences in the high school teachers' SoC about the 2009 revision English Curriculum by their background variables or not, some differences were indicated by age, teaching career, and position. In regarding to 'age', young teachers(less than 20) had higher management concerns(Stage 3) than old teachers(more than 50). And in case of 'teaching career', teachers with less teaching experiences had higher management concerns(Stage 3) and collaboration concerns(Stage 5) than highly experienced teachers. Whereas, as for 'position', executive teachers' had higher consequence concerns(4 Stage) than regular teachers.
