본 연구는 2019 개정누리과정에 맞춰 놀이중심 교육과정 실현을 위해 보육교 사의 전문성 신장과 함께 진정한 아동중심 교육 실천을 도모하고자 수행되었다. 보육교사들의 자발적 ‘교사 협의’ 경험은 어떠하며 그 과정에서 보육교사들은 어떠한 반성적 사고와 실천 변화가 나타나는지 살펴보았다. 연구참여자는 충청남도 S시에 위치한 S어린이집의 교사 11명이다. 보육교사들의 자발적인 선택과 참여를 전제로 영아반과 유아반 두 집단으로 구분하여 ‘교사 협의’가 진행되었다. 보육교사들은 ‘교사 협의’를 통해 영유아들의 놀이 지원 시 갈등하고 고민하 던 부분들을 되돌아보며 함께 나누는 일이 곧 스스로 성장하는 배움의 출발점이 었으며, 더 나은 코칭과 교수 방법을 모색하며 동반성장하는 경험을 보였다. 보육교사들은 ‘교사 협의’ 과정에서 영유아들이 몰입하는 놀이에서 의미를 발견하 고자 놀이를 깊이 관찰, 기록하였으며 이를 기초로 동료교사와 협의하고 코칭하는 과정을 통해 상호 신뢰와 존중을 쌓아갔다. 이는 또한 영유아 존중으로 이어지는 변화의 원동력이 되어, 보육교사들은 영유아들의 주도적 놀이를 인정해주고 구체적으로 지원할 수 있도록 공간과 자료를 새로운 방식으로 제공하며 지원하는 과감한 시도를 하는 교수활동의 실천 변화를 이루었다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the researcher’s experiences as a teacher educator of a TESOL program at a private university in Korea. The study was inspired by a growing trend in postmodern approaches which seek to draw out the hidden voice of the researcher. In order to explore the dialogical engagement of the researcher/teacher educator and the participants, the researcher adapts an autoethnographic approach which seeks to understand the self in an ethnographic study. Furthermore, this study calls for a shift from employing reflective practices in teacher education programs to reflexivity, which emphasizes the mutuality of both structures. The study presents a series of self-narratives and compares them with narratives drawn from semi-structured interviews with three TESOL students. By employing the progressive/regressive method of data analysis, the researcher seeks to understand the historical, cultural, or biographical factors which may have contributed toward the discoveries made by the researcher. Findings of the study indicate that the researcher was able to gain a deeper understanding of herself as well as the students and the TESOL context in Korea.

One of major education process flaws in the Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan (LPTK) or Teacher Training Institute in Indonesia is portrayed in the implementation of the Program Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL) or Apprentice Program that has not optimally developed candidate’s proficiency to be competent teachers. Therefore, this research is intended to construct a teaching and learning model of practical teaching that can improve pedagogical competence as the ultimate goal to be achieved by future teacher candidates. The main subjects of this study were undergraduate students of the Elementary School Teacher Education program conducting their PPL in Indonesia University of Education and Lampung University. Based on the analysis of Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, on the level of significance of 95% (α = 0,05), the model produced from the research and development process and called theModel Pembelajaran Praktik Mengajar Reflektif (MP2MR) was verified to help improve students competence based on the following benefits,(a) teaching and learning and evaluation designs focused on standardized achievements (b) individual and contextual implementation of problem-solving based process of teaching and learning, and (c) priority to intrinsic evaluation.
