호주와 캐나다의 교장 양성교육 비교연구

Abstract

Objectives This study attempted to find implications for qualification training for secondary school principals in Korea by examining specific examples of education systems and contents for fostering principals in Australia and Canada. Methods The research method is a comparative study through literature analysis, and for this purpose, in the case of Korea, the principal qualification training curriculum of the Korea Teachers’ University’s General Training Institute was analyzed along with related laws. Australia and Canada investigated documents related to the training of principals by the Federal and State Departments of Education, and analyzed the leadership course at Monash University and the principal qualification program at University of Toronto as examples. Results Australia presents principal professional standards and principal training curriculum design guides at the national level, and the state desings education to foster new principals based on this, and the operating institutions(university, etc) refer to them to operate the curriculum. Choice subjects vary depending on the learner’s previous experience and deal with macro-level leadership. Canada does not have a unified principal professional standard at the federal level, but individual states establish a theoretical system and develop a standardized curriculum to operate the same course in all educational institutes. The same five modules are divided into two parts, theory-centered and practice-centered, and repeatedly deepened. Conclusions Through principal training in Australia and Canada, implications such as the development of a theoretical system that can be the basis for principal qualification training, selective education based on learner context, research on future-oriented education and principal training system and content were found.
