This study tries to understand the roles of reading by applying the various reading methods suggested in the 2015 Revised National Curriculum. Data was collected through interviews and statistical analysis from a survey completed by middle school students. Findings showed that critical reading affected the decisiveness as well as the confidence of career maturity. Also, emotional reading and creative reading influenced the preparation of career maturity. Critical reading impacted all subvariables of self-efficacy - confidence, self-regulating efficacy, and task difficulty preference. Findings also showed that emotional reading affected self-regulating efficacy. Ultimately, the confidence of self-efficacy partly mediated critical reading and decisiveness. This study contributes to guiding reading instructions for practitioners and school curriculums to develop career maturity and self-efficacy.

1992년 영국에서 시작된 영아독서운동인 북스타트(Bookstart)가 2003년 우리나라에 도입되어 몇몇 지자체들을(서울 중랑구, 서울 중구, 인천 연수구, 전남 순천시) 중심으로 시행되고 있는 가운데, 공공도서관을 기반으로 한 북스타트 운동이 울산남부도서관(관장 고경희)에서 전국 최초로 시작되었다. 도서관은 이를 계기로 지난 1월 26일 도서관 1층에 40평 규모의 영ㆍ유아자료실을 새롭게 마련하고, 북스타트 운동의 확산에 힘을 기울이고 있다. 도서관의 북스타트 운동은 지역주민들의 호응을 얻어 관련 예산이 10배 가량 증액되는 성과를 얻었으며, 담당자는 이 운동에 관심을 갖고 사업을 준비하려는 전국 공공도서관의 문의에 답하느라 요즘 정신이 없다고 한다. 적은 예산과 인원으로 현상 유지도 빠듯한 요즈음, 새로운 프로그램 도입을 개척해나가는 도서관 운동가들의 열정에 경의를 표한다.

The purpose of this study is to identify characteristics of secondary school teachers' perceptions and experiences of school libraries and to suggest strategies for its' activation. In order to achieve this aim, the questionnaire survey was conducted for 229 secondary school teachers who participated in K university qualification training in 2017. As a result, they recognize that school libraries are an essential facility and that continuous support and investment are needed. They think that the effectiveness of the school library is very helpful for creating a leisure and cultural life and for stimulating reading atmosphere and education, and this perception is stronger at lower ages. The number of school library use of them is as low as once a month, and the purpose of use is mainly for cultivation and leisure. The discomfort of the school library is mostly due to lack of materials and space for them. In particular, they have a lack of knowledge and necessity about the method of library-based instruction and insufficient preparation time and poor materials. Teachers are highly aware of the need and utility of training, and prefer training with peers. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies such as remodeling space and increasing collections for their study and instruction, and foster peer supervision so that they can actively utilize school library in subjects management.
