이 연구는 교사의 실무능력 향상을 위하여 교직소양 교과로서 개설된 「교직실무」교과를 진행하는 교육프로그램을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 교육과학기술부가 제정한 교사자격 세부기준에 따르면 이 교과는 교사로서의 학습지도 능력 이외의 직무수행에 필요한 영역을 주제별로 운영토록 되어있으며, 대표적으로 ‘교직윤리’, ‘사회변화와 교육’, ‘학생문화’, ‘학급관리와 학생지도’ 등을 예시하고 있다. 이를 위해 현직교사와의 공동연구를 통하여 「교직실무」강좌의 목표 및 내용, 강의 전략, 평가방법 등 교과 운영 프로그램을 개발하였다. 기초분석을 위하여 최근 간행된 「교직실무」관련 교재를 세부기준에 제시된 주제영역별로 나누어 분석하여 그 특징과 시사점을 도출하였다. 이어서 전국의 주요 교육대학 및 초등교원 양성기관에서 개설되어 운되고 있는 강의계획서 사례를 분석하여 시사점을 도출하였다. 개발된 16주 동안의 교육프로그램은 교사론, 학급운영, 인사·학사라는 세 주제영역으로 구성하였고, 학교 현장에 대한 이해와 분석력 함양을 위하여 쟁점토론을 포함시켰으며, 특히 4학년 실무실습 시기와 연동한 강의계획이 되도록 하였다. 현장에 착근된 교직실무 프로그램 적용을 위한 후속연구와 관련된 과제를 제언했다.The purpose of this study is to develop a program that expands elementary school teachers’ skills through the Practical Affairs of Teaching Profession program.
Recently, the required teaching profession course has opened in order to develop practical preparation skills of teachers. The key goals of this course areto make course objectives from Practical Affairs of Teaching Profession, to configure the contents of the course in 16 weeks, and to develop teaching strategies and assessment methods.

In Chapter 3, the article analyzed the fundamentals of Practical Affairs of Teaching Profession. To do this, we separated the contents of a recently published textbook about Practical Affairs of Teaching Profession according to the MEST’s criteria and analyzed the cha- racteristics. We also analyzed the College of Education’s lecture syllabus regarding Practical Affairs of Teaching Profession. The key categories that were analyzed were the lecture content, textbook, lecture method, and examination method including characteristic descriptions.
In Chapter 4, the article created a syllabus draft for Practical Affairs of Teaching Profession. This education program included the past subjects of Theory of Education and Classroom and School Management. These subjects consisted of various programs that were similar to the subjects of Education Administration and Management and Student Life Guidance and Counseling. This syllabus included movie and broadcast materials as well as practice teaching. Movie materials were used by previous teachers to demonstrate their philosophy and ethics of teaching. Broadcasting materials were used for changes of the teachers’ society. The practice teaching portion of the syllabus consisted of preparing lesson plans for a 4th grade classroom.
The article proposed that a follow-up study and policy regarding the Practical Affairs of Teaching Profession program as a fundamental element of a field-based teaching arena is needed.
