2019 개정 누리과정을 실행하는 배움공동체 유아 교사들의 배움과 성장 과정

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find out the learning and growth processes experienced by early childhood teachers who make up the learning community in the 2019 revised Nuri Curriculum practice process. Methods To this end, five childhood teachers attending the “Happy Play Research Society”, a learning community of childhood teachers, were selected as participants in the study. The study period was conducted for about 6 months from April 2020 to September 2020. In the study, participation observation was conducted 6 times through non-face-to-face Zoom and 1 time for 3 hours face-to-face. Individual interviews were conducted twice for 2 hours for each participant. In the research process, the study participants' play records, photos, panels, teacher's journals, annual plans, and researcher's journals were used as research data Results Participants in the study solved the worries and questions felt while practicing the revised Nuri process within the learning community. In addition, in the learning community, participating teachers were able to grow in the process of acknowledging differences by sharing different opinions and concerns. Participating teachers were able to grow as teachers in the learning community by their inherent power of spontaneity, working at different institutions, unfamiliar experiences, and different leadership methods. Conclusions Participants in the study found a new perspective on children and play by practicing the revised Nuri process, and at the same time, they grew up to be more mature as teachers by establishing their educational philosophy and beliefs.
