중등 영어과 예비교사들의 임용시험 대비 사교육 실태 및 인식

초록

This study investigated whether and how the latest changes in the secondary school teacher selection test affected prospective English teachers’ use and perception of private education to prepare for the test. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 86 undergraduate students and alumni of English education departments in four private universities in Korea. The results of the questionnaire analysis were as follows: First, more than half of the participants had experience of receiving private education for the teacher selection test mainly because they did not know what to study and how to prepare for the test. Second, the participants evaluated positively the recent changes in the teacher selection test such as the reduction of the test stages and the new requirement of a Korean history exam certificate. However, they did not consider that such changes help alleviate their dependence on private education in preparing for the test. To the contrary, many of them felt that the introduction of new test types in the test increased the necessity for private education. The findings can serve as basis for enhancing curriculum for colleges of education in universities and providing feedback on the current secondary school teacher selection test system.
