어느 특수교사의 시설 순회파견학급 적응기

Abstract

This study was aimed to reflect on myself and to find socio-cultural meaning by sharing my experiences as an itinerant teacher and my interactions with the surrounding culture, using self-cultural descriptive papers, and to give implications for special education. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the researcher collected memory data, self-reflection data, cultural artifacts, self-observation data, call records, and transcripts of various conferences related to itinerant education for 4 years and 3 months. The collected data were analyzed by applying a comprehensive analysis procedure based on pragmatic eclecticism. The result of the study showed, first, it was not only an individual ability problem that caused itinerant teachers to have difficult in class. Second, the answer to the frustration and confusion caused by the students was eventually found in the students. Third, the most important thing in relation to facilities was how to build a rapport. Fourth, it was the receptive atmosphere and interest in the school that help itinerant teachers feel positive about teacher efficacy. Fifth, all the difficulties and confusion that itinerant teachers may have in the field of itinerant education could be overcome through cooperative relationships with higher-level institutions including the learning community of itinerant teachers, not through individual efforts of the itinerant teachers. The results of this study will be the basis to better understand the itinerant education, which has not been getting much attention in the past. In addition, it will be of comfort to itinerant teachers who, including myself, are struggling with itinerant education.
