Abstract

In order for school library to fully serve as a key educational element of a school, teachers' positive perception on the library's role is essential. Due to the lack of the perception, however, school libraries are not closely related to class activities in practice. Since teachers' perception on school library has been regarded as an given environmental factor in the field of school libraries, alternatives for revitalizing school libraries proposed in previous studies were not effective in practice. We developed a hypothesis that activities in school libraries have a certain impact on the teachers' perception, and tested the hypothesis and identified library factors to the perception in this study. Through a series of statistical analyses with the data from a questionnaire survey with teachers in elementary schools, we identified that the teachers perceived the library as non-curricular element, their perceptions were affected by the library. Consequently, the school library can influence the teachers' perveption. This study has implications to explore practical alternatives to improve the teachers' perception on school libraries by activities in school libraries.

학교도서관이 학교에서 핵심적인 교육요소로서 제 역할을 다하기 위해서는 교사의 학교도서관의 역할에 대한 적절한 인식이 필요하다. 그러나 지금까지 학교도서관에서 교사인식은 외부 환경 요인으로 간주되어 왔다. 이에 본 연구는 교사의 학교도서관 인식이 학교도서관 요인에 의해 형성되었음을 전제로 하고, 그 요소들을 파악하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 초등학교 교사를 대상으로 조사한 설문 데이터를 통계적으로 분석하여 학교도서관과 교사인식 간의 관계를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 교사의 학교도서관에 대한 일반적인 인식은 비교과교육적이고, 이는 학교도서관의 활동에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 학교도서관이 통제 가능한 요소로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 학교 교사의 학교도서관에 대한 인식을 도서관의 관점에서 적극적으로 해석하여 그 인식에 영향을 미치는 학교도서관 요인을 파악함으로써 교사인식의 개선방안을 학교도서관 활동에서 모색하였다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다.
