한국의 교원성과상여금제와 중국의 교사적효공자제(敎師绩效工资制) 비교 분석

초록

The purpose of this study was to compare the performance-based payment policies for school teachers which were adopted in Korea and China, and draw implications for improvement. Analysis was guided by four major factors including the purposes, financial sources, evaluation methods, and perceptions of teachers to identify commonalities and differences between two countries. The comparative analysis have led to the following conclusions. First, the authorities of Korea and China have attempted to revitalize teaching profession by introducing performance- based payment into their traditional seniority-based teacher salary policy. Second, while there were separate financial sources at the central government level for performance pay in Korea, Chinese authorities provided differentiated amount of monetary rewards to each teacher within the teacher salary account. Third, with respect to the evaluation methods for performance pay, both countries tended to utilize quantity- based indicators such as number of teaching hours and homeroom teacher duties. Fourth, the purposes of introducing performance payment were partially achieved in both countries, while presenting heavier challenges to overcome to meet the needs of teachers and schools. Based on the conclusions, policy implications were drawn to improve the teacher performance pay system as a whole.
