Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that hinder the role recognition and role performance of teacher librarians and suggest some improvement methods. For this purpose, a questionnaire was conducted among 41 persons who participated in the first-level qualification training for teachers librarians at K University Secondary Teacher Training Institute in 2019.The results showed that there was a difference between the expected role and the execution role of the teacher librarians. In other words, teacher librarians recognize that they should teach information literacy as instructors and operate library-based instruction and cooperative classes as teaching partners. However, the most frequently played roles are reading education and library use education. They recognizes the cause as institutional limitations, such as the absence of a national level curriculum and the ambiguity of the role of specialists in school libraries. And it is perceived as a real problem such as the lack of partnership and recognition of their peers. Among the variables of teacher librarians, the higher their educational level, the more they perceived their peers as teachers. Based on this, some suggestions for strengthening the role of the teacher librarians' instructor and teaching partner were proposed in terms of including cross-curricular subjects of information literacy education, analyzing jobs and establishing scholarship system for school libraries.

본 연구의 목적은 사서 교사의 역할 인식과 역할 수행을 저해하는 요인을 분석하고 개선 방안을 제안하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 2019학년도 K 대학교 중등교원연수원 사서 교사 1급 자격연수에 참여한 41명을 대상으로 설문을 하였다. 분석 결과 사서 교사의 기대 역할과 실행 역할 간에는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 사서 교사는 교수자로서 정보활용교육을 지도하고, 교수 파트너로서 도서관 활용수업과 협동수업을 운영해야 한다는 인식을 하고 있다. 그러나 실제 가장 많이 수행하고 있는 역할은 독서교육과 도서관이용교육인 것으로 나타났다. 사서 교사는 그 원인을 국가 수준의 교육과정 부재와 학교도서관에 두는 전문 인력의 역할 모호성과 같은 제도적 한계로 인식하고 있다. 그리고 동료 교사의 사서 교사에 대한 인식과 파트너십 부족과 같은 현실적인 문제로 인식하고 있다. 사서 교사의 변인 중에서는 학력 수준이 높을수록 동료 교사가 본인을 교수 파트너로 여긴다고 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 사서 교사의 교수자, 교수 파트너의 역할을 강화할 수 있는 방안을 정보활용교육의 범교과 학습주제 포함, 직무 분석 실시, 장학 체계 확립, 동료장학 활성화 측면에서 제안하였다.
