@article{oai:meio-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00001061, author = {Yonaha, Keiko}, issue = {14}, month = {2020-12-03}, note = {With the introduction of the "teachers' certificate renewal system", beginning in 2009, the role of universities as institutions to provide training programs for current teachers to maintain their teaching skills has been increased. The purpose of this paper is to propose better training programs for English teachers by studying the problems they face and their requests for the content of training programs. By reviewing the literature and her own twenty years' experience as a high school English teacher, the author ascertained the top four problems faced in teaching and the four most common requests for teacher training course content and compared them with the results of questionnaires conducted in 2006, when 78 teachers from 46 high schools were surveyed, and in 2007, when 72 teachers from 39 high schools were surveyed, targeting a total of 150 high school English teachers in Okinawa. The results of the surveys in 2006 and 2007 showed that teachers see two main problems in teaching: (1)students' low motivation to study English and (2)widely differing English levels among students in the same class. The questionnaire results also showed that there were two major reguests by teachers for the contents of a training program; a) to improve their own English skills b) to improve their teaching skills. The third problem cited by teachers was 3)students low English and academic levels while the third most common request was c) to exchange information with other teachers. This last result surprised the author. In short, it was found that a training program which meets the needs of high school English teachers should meet these three primary criteria: 1. to improve English teachers' English skills. 2. to improve English teachers' teaching skills. 3. to provide an opportunity to exchange information with other English teachers., 平成21年4月から教員免許更新制が導入されることとなり、現場教師の教員としての資質能力維持のための研修の場として大学の果たす役割はさらに増している。本論文の目的は学校現場における英語教師の指導上の問題は何か、提供される研修内容に関してどのような要求を持っているのかの2点を調査することによって、研修者の需要に応える研修プログラムを考察することにある。筆者は文献調査や白身の高校教師としての経験から、指導上の問題として(1) 教帥の英語力不足(2)教師の教授力不足(3)生徒の英語学習に対するモーチベーションの低さ(4)生徒間の英語力格差などが挙げられるとし、研修内容の要求はそれらの問題解決を求めるものになると仮定した。その仮説を、平成18年度(78人46校)、平成19年度(72人39校)の沖縄県教育委員会主催の英語教員集中研修に参加した高校の英語教師(計150人)を対象として行われたアンケート調査の結果と比較した。結果、問題として(1)生徒の英語学習に対するモーチベーションの低さ(2)生徒間の英語力格差が、又、研修内容への要求として(1)教師自身の英語力の向上(2)教授力の向上がそれぞれ上位1位、2位を占め仮説と一致した。上位3位に挙げられた問題(3)生徒の英語能力の低さや、要求(3)他の教師達との情報交換は筆者の予想できなかった項目であった。まとめとして現場英語教師の需要に応える研修は 1.英語教帥の英語力を高める 2.英語教師の授業力を高める 3.教師同士の交流の機会がある という3つの要素を満たすものでなければならないということがわかった。, application/pdf}, pages = {71--81}, title = {A Study on Improved In-service Training Programs for High School English Teachers -A Survey of Teaching Problems and Training Program Content Requests-}, year = {} }
