Abstract

This action research focuses on understanding the improvement process of global citizenship education conducted in an elementary school teacher community located in Seoul. Although the members of teacher community have diverse careers and subject backgrounds, they pursued common problem-solving through mutual communication. The results of the collaborative action research were as follows: First, research participants pursued the success of instruction while promoting the reflective practice of global citizenship education through group deliberation. Second, the teachers who participated in the research showed various patterns of acceptance of the teacher educator's instructional consulting, which were discriminatory responses such as active acceptance, selective acceptance, passive acceptance and alternative practice. Third, although elementary school teachers selected a common topic in the process of designing and implementing global citizenship education, they showed a differentiated appearance in the way the instruction is developed. The above research results create the need to practice teacher education while systemizing the goals and contents of global education.
