Abstract

This study examined career maturity of primary and middle school students who were interested in teaching job and compared to those who were interested in being a doctor. Using the data from the Korean Education Longitudinal Study 2013, we examined changes in the number of students (primary 5 through middle 2) who were interested in teaching as a job as well as in being a doctor. In addition, the participants' career maturity such as self-understanding, career planing, and attitudes towards job were examined and independent sample t-tests were conducted to compare two groups of students. Overall, the students who were interested in teaching showed lower level of career maturity compared to those who expected to be a doctor. Additionally, as students advanced to higher grades, the points of career maturity had been decreased regardless of which job they were interested in. Based on the findings, suggestions will be made to broaden the pool for future teachers.

이 연구는 교직 희망 학생의 진로 특성(자기 이해, 진로 계획성, 일에 대한 태도)을 의사직 희망 학생과 비교하여 진단하는 데 목적을 두었다. 한국교육종단연구 2013의 초등학교 5학년부터 중학교 2학년까지의 학생 자료를 분석, 교직 희망 학생과 의사직 희망 학생을 추출하고, 이들의 진로 특성을 비교하고 아울러 학년별 추이를 진단하였다. 연구결과, 진로 특성의 하위 영역인 '자기이해'와 '진로계획성', '일에 대한 태도' 측면에서 교직 희망 학생은 의사직 희망 학생에 비해 다소 낮은 점수를 보였다. 또한, 장래 희망 직업에 관계없이 학년이 올라갈수록 진로 특성의 하위 영역의 점수가 낮아지고 있었고, 모든 학년에 걸쳐 의사 희망 학생에 비해 교직 희망 학생의 하위 영역별 점수가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 중학교 1-2학년에만 측정된 '일에 대한 태도' 점수는 의사 및 교직 희망 학생 모두 다른 하위 영역 점수에 비해 낮게 나타나 중학생들이 바람직한 직업 가치에 기반하여 장래 희망 직업을 정하고 있다고 보기 어려웠다. 연구결과에 바탕하여 바람직한 교직 희망 학생을 유인할 수 있는 방안에 대해 논하였다.
