중학교 교사의 창의적 교수학습방법이 학생의 창의성에 미치는 영향 분석

초록

This study seeks to analyze the effects of creative teaching and learning methods on students’ creativity. For this purpose, we investigated levels of the two variables, differences of perceptions depending on the background variables, and the effects of creative teaching and learning methods along with student characteristics and school characteristics on students’ creativity. Utilizing the survey data of 1,636 middle school teachers and students across Seoul of South Korea extracted from the 「Seoul Education Longitudinal Study(SELS)」 administered by the Seoul Education Research & Information Institute, descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analysis are performed. The data analysis shows that most teachers apply creative teaching and learning methods to their teaching activities in a higher level regardless of their personal backgrounds or school characteristics. However, the level of students creativity differs depending upon personal backgrounds as well as school characteristics such as monthly household income and ’class size, although the average level of creativity is considerably high. Finally, there is a statistically significant relationship between teachers’ application of creative teaching and learning methods and students’ creativity. Based on the findings, we discussed the importance of the creative teaching and learning methods of teachers in improving the students’ creativity, and draw a few policy implications including teacher pre-service and in-service education.
