Abstract
Recently, as non-face-to-face classes have been activated due to the influence of COVID-19, teachers' SNS-based activities such as blogs and YouTube have become very active. Teachers produce and share various materials in the online space, such as their educational activities, administrative works, and philosophy about education. Noting that these activities will contribute to the improvement of teachers' expertise, the researcher tried to clarify through examples how blogs operated by teachers enhance teachers' expertise from the perspective of supervision. In this study, through interviews with five teachers operating blogs on educational activities, it was confirmed that teacher blogs have some function as a portfolio that records teachers' career, and are gaining the effect of self-supervision of developing expertise on their own. By analyzing related literature and synthesizing interview results, the functions of teacher blogs are classified into record preservation, self-reflection, and data sharing, and reinterpreted from the perspective of self-supervision. In conclusion, teacher blogs should be recognized as a category of self-supervision because they contribute to enhancing teachers' professionalism, and schools and offices of education suggested that teachers should work on ways to further develop their supervision culture.
