예비교사 사회과 시민교육 『지역 문제 해결 프로젝트』 실천 사례 연구 = A Case Study on Social Studies Civic Education Practice for Pre-service Teachers: Focusing on “Local Problem Solving Project”

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study began with the awareness that the learning experiences of pre-service teachers are important for meaningful participation and practice in school citizenship education. To this end, a community-based, participatory, and practice-oriented civic education project was designed for a social studies education course for pre-service teachers. Analysis of the project implementation process and experiences revealed were divided into six areas.: First, it demonstrated the growth of participants into “present citizens”. Second, they developed problem-solving skills through exploring knowledge and methods. Third, they recognized a sense of efficacy and confidence. Fourth, they communicated and collaborated through deliberation. Fifth, they developed a new understanding and interest in their local communities. Sixth, they developed identity as prospective teachers and recognized their future roles. This study is significant in that it focused on the voices of pre-service teachers and specifically revealed their experiences and aspects of civic education practice. To discover good materials for civic education, I suggest interdisciplinary research, collaboration with graduate students and teachers, and connections between universities and local community organizations.
