평생학습사회의 기반구축과 학교도서관매체 센터에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study is to assert the fact that School Library Media Center(SLMC) is the most important body which influences the whole process of loaming in school and at the same time it functions as a very essential infrastructure of acquiring loaming in the society. The writer analysed the studies on learning outcomes across a range of educational conditions and settings. She found that loaming outcomes are influenced positively by the educational conditions and settings that accomodate the student diversity and individualization, and loaming materials for their individual needs. It means that the outcomes of effective teaming are influenced by using teaming materials of individual student guided by teachers and teacher librarians. In case, school education furnishes desirable programs of SLMC and use it properly, students canhave enough experiences what and how they learn by using library materials during their school days. As school days are in their early days of their lifetime, they are easy to carry their way of loaming with them even after they finish school. The members of society who are accustomed to use library materials during their school days will have loaming needs for their better life. The writer wants to call it the loaming needs of society that school produces. A teaming society is composed of two factors One is the loaming needs of the people and the other is the environment to meet them. SLMC produces loaming needs, and it meets to the needs of student learning. Consequently it can be said SLMC is the infrastructure for loaming society. The author pointed out that the Educational Reformation Draft of current Government does not mention about learning materials prerequisite to enhance student loaming outcomes, especially in relation to their creativity. She concluded educators of every level of school including government officials in charge of education have to think and do something about reformation of School Library Media Center for the fulfillment of the goal of Korean Educational Reformation Draft announced by the Educational Reformation Committee Draft announced by the Educational Reformation Committee May 31, 1995.

학교도서관매체센터가 학교교육에 긍정적 영향을 줄뿐만 아니라 평생학습사회의 하부구조임을 밝히는 것이 본 논고의 목적이다. 평생학습사회는 사회구성원의 학습욕구와 이를 지원할 수 있는 학습환경이 구비됨으로써 형성될 수 있다. 그리고 학교도서관매체센터는 사회구성원들의 학습욕구를 형성시켜주는 산실로 규명된다. 민주주의 사회에서 사회구성원들이 학습욕구를 강하게 가질 때 사회환경이 학습하기에 적절하고 편리하도록 변형된다는 것은 자연스러운 논리이다. 결과적으로 학교도서관매체센터는 사회구성원의 학습욕구를 만들어 내고 또 이에 응하는 사회환경을 조성하는 원동력을 조성해 낸다고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 필자는 학교도서관매체센터가 평생학습사회의 중요한 하부구조라고 밝히고 있다.
