This study is to describe the nature of planning as a cognitive writing process in L2 writing. It aims to examine how Korean EFL learners generate ideas and organize them. It also investigates the relationship between planning and the final product. Given a worksheet for planning, 39 university students were asked to write an argumentative essay during class. Based on their planning notes, five brainstorming types were identified: using the prompt/writing the position, mini-outlining, listing, mind mapping and free writing (in the order of frequency). In addition, the dominant use of L1 was found both in the brainstorming and the outlining. It was found that there was no statistically significant correlation between the amount of brainstorming and the quantity and quality of L2 writing. Only the amount of brainstorming in L2 had a statically significant correlation with the quantity of L2 writing (but not with the quality of L2 writing). In the case of outlining, a statistically significant correlation was found between its amount and the quantity of L2 writing. However, no statistically significant correlation was found between the amount of outlining and the L2 writing quality.

이 연구는 예비교사들이 소집단별로 수업을 계획하고, 시연하고, 동료의 수업을 평가하고, 반성저널을 쓰는 등의 반성촉진활동을 경험할 때 수업에 대한 반성의 정도(고민의 정도)가 변화하는지를 준실험(이질통제집단설계)을 통하여 검증하였다. 사전 사후 검사를 위해 학기 초와 말에 한 시간 분량의 수업을 계획한 후, 수업계획 중 고민한 문제에 대해 그 정도를 5단계 척도에 따라 답하게 하였다. 반성촉진활동의 효과를 재는 기준변인(고민한 문제)은 선행연구를 참조하여 9개 대범주, 46개의 하위범주로 구성하였다. 반성의 효과는 공변량분석으로 검증하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 소집단별 수업계획과 반성저널 쓰기는 반성 정도에 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 영향은 종속변인의 하위주제에 따라 달랐다.
