Cases of Coteaching during Overseas Educational Volunteer Activity

When pre-service teachers participate in foreign educational volunteer activities, they form groups of three or four people and teach together. Co-teaching involves several people preparing, executing, and evaluating classes together. This study explores the opportunities for pre-service teachers to learn from each other through cognitive and affective co-teaching during educational volunteer activities. Co-teaching cases were summarized by analyzing reports written by Chungbuk National University education volunteer members, evaluation meeting records, and the leader's diary. Cognitive examples of co-teaching include collaborative work, language assistance, classroom assistance, immediate classroom improvement, student control, teamwork, and teacher interaction. Positive affective examples of co-teaching include reassurance, gratitude, mutual encouragement, sharing confidence, learning enthusiasm in class, confidence in class, and bonding with colleagues and students. Negative affective examples include dispersion of responsibility, feeling sorry for not being able to help sufficiently, frustration when comparing one's own class to others. and reflection on one's own shortcomings. Through this study, we can see that when discussing other people's classes, emotional and soft affective feedback should be considered along with logical and hard cognitive feedback.
