An Analysis on Secondary Mathematics Qualification Training Curriculum for the First Grade Regular Teacher

Abstract

Changes in the curriculum and education policy are accompanied by significant changes in the school field. To keep pace with this trend of the times, teachers are required to have various re-education, and teacher re-education is a duty and a right of teachers. The common method of teacher re-education is teacher training, and the most core one is the qualification training for the first grade regular teachers. Since the training course and the target trainees in each position were institutionalized in 1972, there have been many changes in the curriculum of the first grade regular teacher training, and related studies have been continuously conducted. However, since the qualification training courses for the first grade regular teachers were reduced to ‘more than 15 days (90 hours)’ in 2012, there have been no studies on the qualification training courses for the first grade regular teachers especially in secondary mathematics education. This study compared and analyzed the first grade regular teacher qualification training curriculum of 17 metropolitan and provincial offices of education conducted in 2019 to the standard curriculum for the teacher qualification training. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the first grade regular teacher qualification training curriculum of each metropolitan and provincial offices of education is slightly different from the guidelines of the standard curriculum for teacher qualification training. Additionally, a number of problems have been drawn to the content and the core competency of the lectures opened. Through this, we suggested the improvement points of the standard curriculum and the implications for the organization of the first grade regular teacher qualification training curriculum.
