예비교사들의 연구활동 경험에 관한 연구 : K대학교 교육연구 지원 사업을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore pre-service teachers’ participation experience in research activities and identify how such research participation has enhanced the level of their teacher competency. A total of nine students who participated in the K University‘ s educational research support project were interviewed and qualitative analysis was conducted, and the main results are as follows. Pre-service teachers experienced cultivation of communication skills, cooperation skills, and problem-solving skills through research activities. In cultivating communication skills, role distribution through dialogue and compromise, topic selection through listening and persuasion, and fierce adjustment of opinions in the content revision stage were confirmed. Moreover, Experiences of collaboration include sharing common purposes, narrowing the gap in thoughts through exchange of opinions, and interaction with advisors through question-and-answer. In addition, Experiences of cultivating problem-solving skills include facing difficulties during the research process, overcoming difficulties during the research process, and generating power to overcome difficulties during the research process.
 Based on these research results, it was suggested to conduct further research on investigating the motivation for participating in educational research support projects, reorganize the target capabilities of educational research support projects, and prepare an alternative curriculum that can utilize the advantages of research activities.
