Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find a better way for placement of teacher librarians after the revision of the Enforcement Decree of School Libraries Promotion Act. To do this, the literature research is applied for reviewing the policy and current status regarding the placement of school librarians. The Ministry of Education announced its willingness to secure the number of job openings for librarian teachers through the midium and long-term plan in the 3rd School Library Promotion Basic Plan. It is analyzed that 323 new teacher librarians need to be recruited every year, after estimating the demand for recruitment of teacher librarians by 2030, considering the 3rd school library promotion basic plan. Schools in Gyeonggi Province and Daegu with no school library personnel exclusively in charge of libraries have been allocated with temporary teacher librarians, as an attempt to comply with the legal obligation to place exclusive staff for libraries, faced with practical challenges of recruiting new teacher librarians in a limited amount of time. But survey through questionnaire method shows only 69 out of 122 survey participants, which account for 56.6%, have proper teacher librarian licences. According to the analysis of teacher librarianship status, only 146 people were trained in 2019. As a result, the field demand for librarian teachers surged, but it was found that the conditions for training excellent librarian teachers have not been provided. Therefore, it is necessary to actively prepare a way to secure a certain level of qualification holders with the qualifications of excellent teacher librarians.

본 연구 목적은 학교도서관진흥법시행령 개정 이후 사서교사 배치 양상을 고찰하여 개선 방안을 도출하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 사서교사 배치에 대한 법규, 정책, 현황을 분석했다. 교육부는 제3차 학교도서관진흥기본계획에서 2030년까지 학교도서관 수 대비 사서교사 배치율을 50% 수준으로 확보한다는 목표를 밝혔다. 이에 신규 사서교사 수요를 추산한 결과, 매년 323명의 신규 사서교사 수요를 예측할 수 있었다. 경기도 등은 정원외 기간제 사서교사 800여 명을 전면 배치하여 학교도서관 전담인력 배치 노력을 기울이고 있다. 하지만 질문지를 통해 2019년 기간제 사서교사 채용자를 대상으로 소지 교사 자격을 조사한 결과, 사서교사 자격증 소지자는 설문 참여 인원 122명 중 69명으로 56.6%에 그쳤다. 한편, 사서교사 양성 현황 분석 결과, 2019년 한 해 사서교사 자격증을 신규로 취득한 인원은 146명에 불과한 것으로 나타났다. 사서교사 자격증 소지자에 대한 현장 수요는 폭증하는 데 비해, 사서교사 양성 여건이 마련되어 있지 않다는 점을 알 수 있었다. 이에 사서교사 양성 중 장기 계획 수립, 교육대학원 증설 등 사서교사 배치 개선 방안을 제언하였다.
