Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning and essence of the learning experiences of K University students majoring in educational school librarianship. In order to achieve the purpose of the research, an open-ended question-based focus group interview was conducted for 12 major students who had graduated from K University's master's degree course within two years. By analyzing the contents of the answers, 9 themes, 35 categories, and 104 concepts were derived from the learning experience in the master's course. Looking at the main analysis results for each area, the motive for entering the master's course was to acquire a librarian teacher qualification, which is a condition in applying for the employment examination. The Satisfaction with the learning experience was an average of 7.66 out of 10 points. In addition, the most dissatisfied parts during the master's course was the contents of the subjects and classes that were not helpful in the operation of the school library and the employment examination for librarian teachers, therefore the response was that improvement is necessary for the future development of the librarian master's degree curriculum.

본 연구는 사서교육전공 학생들의 석사과정 중 학습경험이 어떤 의미와 본질을 지녔는지 탐색하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 목적 달성을 위해 K대학교 석사과정을 졸업한지 2년 이내인 전공생 12명을 대상으로 도입 질문, 소개 질문, 주요 질문, 마무리 질문의 4가지 종류로 정한 개방형 질문 방식의 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 진행한 뒤 답변 내용을 분석하여, 석사과정에서의 학습경험에 대해 9개의 주제, 35개의 범주, 104개의 개념을 도출하였다. 각 영역별 주요 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 석사과정 진학 동기는 임용고시 응시를 위한 조건인 사서교사 자격 취득을 위해서가 가장 많았으며, 학습경험에 대한 만족도는 10점 만점 중 평균 7.66점이었다. 또한 석사과정 동안 가장 불만족스러웠던 부분은 학교도서관 운영과 사서교사 임용고시에 도움 되지 않는 교과목과 수업 내용이었기 때문에, 향후 발전을 위해서는 반드시 개선이 필요하다고 응답하였다.
