공동체 의식 형성에 대한 잠재적 교육과정으로서 교수방식의 영향

Abstract

The formation and enhancement of children’s sense of community was specified in the revised curriculum in 2009, and creative experiential activities as well as subjects are being utilized in schools’ intentional plans. However, not all learning occurs through deliberate planning; unintended hidden curriculum may exist. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of teachers’ permissive and authoritarian instructional styles based on children’s sense of community as hidden curriculum and the interacting effects of children’s home background and instructional styles. This study set up a research model based on the emergence process o fthe self and mind, i.e., the sense of community presented in Mead's symbolic interaction theory. This study uses longitudinal data from the 4th and 6th grades of elementary school to control the endogeneity of instructional styles measured through children’s responses, and the fixed effect model was applied to increase the possibility of causal explanations. The analysis in this study shows that a teacher’s permissive instructional style significantly improves the child’s sense o fcommunity, and there is a significant interaction effect between a teacher’s permissive instructional style and the child’s social background. However, an authoritarian instructional style was found to significantly reduce a child’s sense of community. The building of children’s sense of community by the teacher’s choice of instructional styles is not perceived by the teacher because it is not intended, and therefore, it can be said to be a hidden curriculum. The results of this study were interpreted based on the symbolic interaction theory.
