Second, the identified factors for the success on the examinations were my style of study habits, success-causing learning strategies, balance of understanding and memorization, effective study groups, positivity, and strong self routine.

이 연구에서는 임용시험에서의 실패와 성공을 경험한 특수교사들의 임용시험 실패 요인과 성공 요인이 무엇인지를 탐구하였다. 24명의 특수교사들과 반구조화된 면담을 실시하였으며, 면담 자료의 연속적 비교 분석을 통해 12개의 의미 있는 주제를 추출하였다. 연구 결과를 종합하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 특수교사들은 임용시험 실패 요인을 남 따라 하기식의 공부, 실패를 부르는 공부전략, 무조건 달달 외우기, 비효율적인 스터디, 불안함과 자신감 부족, 내가 나를 관리하지 못함에 두었다. 둘째, 특수교사들은 임용시험 성공 요인을 자신만의 공부 스타일, 올바른 공부전략, 이해와 암기의 조화, 모두가 득이 되는 스터디, 긍정적인 마음가짐, 무너지지 않는 자신만의 루틴에서 찾았다. 이러한 연구 결과를 임용시험 준비과정에서 실제적으로 활용하는 방안을 제언하였다.
