Analysis on Importance- Improvement of Competencies for Enhancing Teaching and Research Competency of Overseas Korean Language Teachers

The purpose of this study is to find out what to focus on in terms of education and research competencies in order to cultivate the professionalism of overseas Korean language teachers, and to seek direction for reinforcement of future training institutes. Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge(TPACK) survey among overseas participants of Korean language teacher training program was conducted to find out important competencies of Korean language educators and how the improvement of these competencies was achieved by participating in the training program. We studied the importance and improvement competencies from the perspective of TPACK. As a result, in terms of teaching competency, the participants recognized the importance of contents knowledge(CK), teaching knowledge(TK), and content teaching knowledge(CTK), and the average value of technology content teaching knowledge(TCTK) and technology knowledge(TK) was high in terms of capability improvement. As a result of the IPA analysis, ‘concentration’ included teaching knowledge(TK), content knowledge(CK), and content teaching knowledge(CTK), while ‘continuity’ included technology content teaching knowledge(TCTK). In terms of research competencies, the ability to conduct research related to content knowledge, teaching knowledge, and technology all showed high average values of importance competency and improvement competency. Through this study, we identified important areas to pay attention in order to expand education and research competencies, and confirmed that education that combines content knowledge, teaching knowledge, and technology knowledge should be continued at future workshops.
