본 연구는 기독교계 인문계 고등학교 교사문화의 특징을 밝히고자 하는 연구이다. 이를 위해 한 기독교계 인문계 고등학교를 대상으로 참여관찰과 심층면담 중심의 질적 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과, 기독교계 인문계 고등학교 교사문화에는 ‘아낌없이 주는 나무 문화’, ‘품앗이 문화’, ‘하늘바라기 문화’ 등의 특징이 있는 것으로 나타났다. ‘아낌없이 주는 나무 문화’의 하위 문화로는 ‘나누기’, ‘버팀목’, ‘수호천사’ 문화가, ‘품앗이 문화’의 하위 문화로는 ‘도르리’, ‘함께하기’, ‘깊은 마음 나누기’ 문화가, 그리고 ‘하늘바라기 문화’의 하위문화로는 ‘한 방향 향해가기’, ‘창조자연 접하기’, ‘두 가지 역할하기’ 등이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 기독교계 인문계 고등학교 교사문화는 주체적인 교사문화, 목적의식이 강한 교사문화, 협력문화 등의 특징이 있음을 논하였다.

The purpose of this thesis is to understand and analyze how the teachers in mission school perceive themselves both as teachers and christians in carrying out their dual-duties and satisfy their roles in a very comparative forms of high school system. Among other methods, in-depth observation on teacher’s participation on the project and personal interviews were taken as research tools and other surveyed informations were used as reference materials as well. The results of the research on ‘different characteristics of the teachers’ culture revealed in Hansarang high schools’ are as follows: One of main characteristics of the teachers’ culture shared in Hansarang High School is the ‘free giving trees’ culture. The whole concept of that particular culture covers the bases of the Hansarang school education and it encourages teachers to be more caring and considerate of others, even if they are obliged to achieve higher goals in education. The ‘free giving trees’ also includes cultures like ‘sharing’, ‘wooden support’, and ‘guardian angel’, and which reflect the same ideas. Another type is the ‘poomahtshi’(exchanging works) culture in Hansarang, which can be rephrased as ‘interchanging assistance’ or ‘moral-duties among colleagues’. The concept is correlated with the spirit of christianity which has its foundation on sacrifice and sharing. In that category, there are other cultures with the same concept such as sharing food , being together , and sharing hearts . Even though the necessity of it has been questioned many times, the sharing food culture has been enjoyed and practiced for decades as a tradition and serves as a main source that bonds teachers together. The third culture the teachers share in Hansarang is the ‘focusing on the heaven’ culture which motivate teachers to be more of christians than just being mere teachers found everywhere. Another words, it is the culture that encourages teachers to ‘navigate toward the heaven’, looking onto the higher goals beyond the limits within themselves. Other same patterns are like experiencing nature and playing-out two roles cultures.
