Abstract

The purpose of this study is to trigger a discussion on the educational gap between regions in school library resources. To this end, differences and correlations between other resources invested in the school library and output results were analyzed according to manpower allocation. There was a positive correlation between the number of books, the budget, the number of seats, the number of borrowed materials, and the number of students. It was analyzed that manpower allocation had a negative correlation with the number of subjects in which the ratio of students, the lowest grade in the achievement evaluation, was more than 1/2. As a result of examining the staffing according to the 「School Library Promotion Act」 by regional characteristics, it was found that the allocation rate was statistically significantly higher in the order of metropolitan area, and provincial unit. Depending on the regional characteristics, there were differences in net asset per household as well as differences in school library manpower assignment rates. In contrast, the large cities with relatively affluent school library manpower assignment rates were found to be higher. Therefore, based on the survey contents of this study, it was emphasized that the manpower stipulated in the 「School Library Promotion Act」 should be deployed as soon as possible even in relatively poor areas to bridge the educational gap between regions.

본 연구의 목적은 학교도서관 투입지표와 산출지표의 지역 간 격차에 대한 논의를 통해 학교도서관 교육의 지역 간 교육격차를 해소하는 데 있다. 이를 위하여 「학교도서관진흥법」에서 규정하는 인력 배치 여부별로 학교도서관 투입지표와 산출지표의 차이 및 상관관계를 분석하였다. 「학교도서관진흥법」 규정 인력 배치 여부와 장서 수, 자료구입비, 좌석 수, 대출자료 수, 그리고 학생 수는 양의 상관관계가 나타났다. 「학교도서관진흥법」 규정 인력 배치는 성취도평가 최저 등급인 학생 비율이 2분의 1이상인 과목 수와는 음의 상관관계가 나타났다. 지역 특성별로 「학교도서관진흥법」 규정 인력 배치 여부를 조사한 결과 수도권, 광역시, 도단위 순으로 배치율이 통계적으로 유의미하게 차이를 보이며 수도권과 광역시에 높게 배치된 것으로 조사되었다. 지역 특성에 따라 가계 당 순자산액의 차이를 분석한 결과에 기반하여 경제적 여건이 풍족한 대도시 지역에 도단위에 비해 더 높은 「학교도서관진흥법」 규정 인력 배치율이 나타났다. 이에 본 연구의 조사 내용을 바탕으로 지역 간, 계층 간 교육격차 해소를 위해 상대적으로 열악한 도단위 지역, 작은 학교에도 균등하게 「학교도서관진흥법」 규정 인력이 조속히 배치되어야 함을 강조하였다.
