Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of teachers’ performance through educational ODA experiences. Methods: Five teachers who have participated in educational ODA for more than two years and who are continuing their research and activities in related fields after participation were selected as research participants. In-depth interviews were conducted and analyzed based on the qualitative content analysis method. Results: As a result of the study, a total of ten performance characteristics as themes were derived in a total of three domains. In the basic area, the themes were derived from the constant interest and experience of service, and the challenge of pursuing new things without being complacent. Themes during performance are performance completion with a healthy self-concept, flexible transformation and application of educational expertise, selection and use of media for cross-cultural communication formation of friendly relationships with others, and reflection and commitment found in mistakes. After completion of projects, characteristics such as understanding with a broader perspective, continuous research and expansion of experience, and externalization of experience and commitment emerged. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the performance of teachers participating in educational ODA shows similarities with ODA educators, but also has unique characteristics. The study suggests implications for the development of competency models and educational programs for educational ODA.
