Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness of the learning community-based school musical production teacher training program to strengthen teachers' creative convergence power, and to explore the experience and meaning of participating teachers. To this end, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education runs a 45-hour teacher training program called “Learning Actors” and is researching 15 elementary and secondary teachers who participated in the program. During the 15-week training period, teachers collaborate with local artists, display thematic expertise, and teach each other, while performing music at local venues for students, parents and fellow teachers. In order to measure the educational effect, a preliminary t-test was conducted on 15 subjects, and in-depth interviews, observations, and portfolios were analyzed. As a result of the study, this training program was meaningful in improving teachers' convergence teaching methods and partnerships with the community, while providing teachers' cooperative skills, understanding, insight into other subjects, and opportunities to reflect on life through arts activities.
