Abstract

This study analyzes changes in the efficiency of the Department of Early Childhood Education in Korea to examine the effectiveness of the National Evaluation for Teacher Education Institution. We provide policy implications from exploring factors influencing efficiency and comparing characteristics of efficient and inefficient departments. With 149 Department of Early Childhood Education in Korea, DEA was conducted to estimate the relative efficiency, and the Tobit model was applied to explore factors affecting efficiency. The results confirm that the Department of Early Childhood in Korea is run efficiently, though there was no change in scale efficiency and relative efficiency after the two phases of the National Evaluation for Teacher Education Institution. The results show the number of books per student was significantly lower despite a significantly higher employment rate. Efficiency of college departments, department greater than 60 (per cohort), and department in metropolitan city (except Seoul area) is confirmed greater. These results provide policy implications on developing evaluation measure and processes to improve education quality and efficiency.

본 연구의 목적은 전국 대학 유아교육과의 효율성 변화를 분석하여 교원양성기관 역량진단의 효과성을 살펴보고, 효율적인 유아교육과와 비효율적인 유아교육과의 특성 및 효율성에 영향을 끼치는 변수들을 확인하여 정책적인 시사점을 제공하는 데에 있다. 연구목적을 위해 전국 대학 유아교육과 149개 데이터를 사용하여 자료포락분석을 실시, 교원양성기관 평가 완료 이전의 효율성 연구결과와 비교분석하였다. 불변규모수익기술과 가변규모수익기술을 가정한 산출지향 모형을 추정하여 CCR과 BCC모형으로 상대적 운영효율성 추정하였고, 투입요소로는 전임교원 1인당 학생 수, 학생 1인당 장학금, 전임교원 1인당 연구비, 학생 1인당 장서 수, 학생 1인당 교육비를 산출요소로는 전임교원 1인당 연구실적, 취업률을 사용하였다. 토빗모형을 통해 투입, 산출요소 및 외생변수(설립유형, 학교종류, 입학정원규모, 소재지) 중 효율성에 영향을 끼치는 요인들을 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 전국 대학 유아교육과는 효율적으로 운영되고 있으며 3주기 및 4주기 교원양성기관 평가 완료 전과 규모효율성과 운영효율성에 차이가 없었다. CCR에서 강효율 유아교육과는 학생 1인당 장학금, 장서 수, 교육비가 유의하게 낮음에도 불구, 유의하게 높은 전임교수 1인당 연구실적과 취업률을 보이나, BCC 아래 학생1인당 장서 수, 취업률 이외에는 통계적 유의성을 상실하며, 토빗모형 계수도 실제적인 영향을 논하기에는 미미하다. 전문대학과 입학정원규모 60명 이상, 광역권 유아교육과의 운영효율성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 교육의 질적 향상을 통한 효율성 증대를 목적으로 하는 평가정책에 시사점을 준다.
