유아 교사 교육에서 수업사례 활용에 대한 고찰 = Using the case and case methods in early childhood teacher education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explores the use of cases and case methods in early childhood teacher education in terms of their history, the rationale for their use, and the manner in which they are used in teacher education. Cases refer to narratives of real teaching situations. They therefore provide accounts of authentic teaching contexts which can be used for a number of pedagogical purposes. For example case narratives are used to increase problem-solving skills and decision-making abilities. They might also be used to assist in developing teachers` personal philosophical stances or to increase their pedagogical content knowledge. These goals are achieved through writing about, reading, and discussing cases in light of the particular objective to be attained. Limitations of the case and case methods are discussed here are implications for further studies in teacher education.
