This study was performed to design a field training curriculum model linked to the National Competence Standards (NCS) in Library and Information Science majors by analyzing factors influencing satisfaction of the field practice program and by drawing NCS capacity units suitable as field training configuration factors. It was also conducted to give shape to the standards and guidelines of NCS-based field training curriculum. For this study, first, we analyzed the implementation status of the National Competence Standards (NCS), particularly in Library and Information Science major. Second, we derived influencing factors of the field practice program through the field training satisfaction survey from Library and Information Science students. Third, we have designed a training curriculum model associated with NCS seeking proper matches with actual work of the library site through research methods including focus group interviews. Fourth, education guidelines of the field training required to interns were proposed in detail.

본 연구는 미국 ALA (American Library Association)가 인정한 문헌정보학 석사과정 (Master of Library Services) 교육과정에서 연구방법론의 현황과 특성을 분석하고, 문헌정보학 프로그램이 개설된 기관 내 다른 대학원 프로그램에서의 연구방법론의 위상을 문헌정보학과와 비교하였다. 연구결과 문헌정보학의 경우, 연구방법론에서 다루어지는 내용들이 매우 다양하고 일관성이 없었으며, 다수의 문헌정보학 프로그램들 내에서 연구방법론이 필수과목이 아니었으며, 상위20위에 드는 학교 중 절반만이 연구방법론을 필수과목으로 요구하였다. 그러나, 문헌정보학 프로그램이 개설된 기관 내의 자연과학 프로그램, 대부분의 사회과학 프로그램, 경영학 석사과정 (MBA), 사회복지학 석사과정들이 연구방법론을 핵심과목으로 요구하였으며, 이들 분야들은 자신의 분야의 특수성을 반영하는 연구방법론 과목을 개설하였다. 또한 이들 분야의 프로그램들을 승인하는 국가적인 기관들이 연구방법론의 필수과목 개설을 명시하였다. 털 연구는 문헌정보학의 학문적 경쟁력을 강화하고, 연구의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는, 문헌정보학 학문의 특수성을 반영할 수 있는 연구방법론의 개발과 연구방법론의 핵심과목 지정이 중요함을 제시한다.

Since the curriculum of the department of library and information science for nurturing librarians and teacher-librarians is not standardized and the education scope and content of subjects for each exam to recruit librarians and teacher-librarians is also not standardized, the objectivity and credibility required for national exam are not guaranteed. This study is for developing a standard curriculum as one of the solutions regarding the foregoing problem. To achieve the goal of this study, first of all, the requirements for librarians and teacher-librarians and a national exam related to Teacher Certification Examination, regulation, and implementation rules were reviewed. Secondly, the justification of the suggested subjects through analyzing prior studies for developing a curriculum for library and information science was reviewed. Thirdly, the subjects resulted from the two foregoing methods were confirmed as a standard curriculum for library and information science through a focus group discussion among practicing librarians.
