학습활동으로서 교사협력이수업개선 정도에 미치는 효과

초록

Until recently, teacher collaboration within the same school has been discussed and verified as a key vehicle for teacher professional development. To effectively improve its outcomes, more emphasis should be placed on the importance of a learning element in teacher collaborative activities. However, there is a lack of studies exploring the characteristics of teacher collaboration as a learning activity. In this vein, this study examined whether teacher collaboration as a learning activity affects the extent of positive teaching practices. The analysis was conducted using hierarchical linear modeling, based on 36 secondary schools and involved 1030 teachers who taught regular subjects. The result of this study shows the fact that teacher collaboration as a learning activity at the level of both an individual teacher and a school organization has a significantly positive impact on teaching practice. The findings of this study suggest that teacher collaboration as a learning activity, as well as a collegial learning climate of the school, is likely to have a positive impact on teaching practice of teachers.
