Abstract

This study aims to investigate and analyze the current status of user education and the school library staffs' perceptions in elementary school libraries in Gyeongnam, and then to propose a plan to improve user education in school libraries. Among the 168 school libraries in the Gyeongsangnam-do where librarians are deployed, 120 that responded to the survey were selected as research subjects. The contents of the study include the contents and methods of user education, the status of librarian education for user education, school library staffs understanding and interest in user education, school library staffs' perceptions of the necessity and effectiveness of user education, and school library staffs' efforts to strengthen capacity of user education. Based on the current status of user education and the results of the school library staffs' perceptions survey, the following are proposed as a way to improve user education of the school library: 1) expanding librarian education opportunities for user education, 2) development and distribution of educational materials that diversify the content and level of each grade, 3) organizing normal school hours for user education, 4) continuous efforts to strengthen capacity for user education.

이 연구는 경남지역 초등학교 도서관의 이용자교육 현황과 이에 대한 전담인력의 인식을 조사한 다음, 학교도서관 이용자교육의 개선방안을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 경남지역 학교도서관 중 전담인력이 배치되어 있는 168개 학교도서관 중 설문조사에 응한 120개관을 연구대상으로 선정하였으며, 89개관이 응답하였다. 이용자교육의 내용과 방법, 이용자교육에 대한 사서교육의 이수 현황, 이용자교육에 대한 전담인력의 이해와 관심도, 이용자교육의 필요성과 효과에 대한 전담인력의 인식, 이용자교육의 방향에 대한 전담인력의 인식 등을 조사내용으로 포함하였다. 조사 결과를 토대로 하여 학교도서관 이용자교육을 개선하기 위한 방안으로 1) 이용자교육을 위한 사서교육 기회의 확대, 2) 학년별 내용과 수준을 다양화한 교육자료의 개발과 보급, 3) 이용자교육을 위한 정규교육 시간의 편성, 4) 이용자교육에 대한 역량 강화를 위한 지속적인 노력 등을 제안하였다.
