직업 생애 관점에서 본 명예퇴직 중등교원의 통과의례적 경험

Abstract

This study aims to propose the importance of consciousness and the need for an effective system for smooth identity transformation under the assumption that a teacher's professional life experience can be interpreted as a rite of passage. To this end, the research question was set up as “What is the experience of passing rituals during the professional life of secondary teachers?” and second, “What is the ritual meaning of passing voluntary retirement of secondary teachers?” As a result of in-depth interviews with five honorary retired secondary teachers from August to October 2022, they experienced the rite of passage of employment, transfer, position, training and degree acquisition, and retirement in the occupational life of teachers divided into employment-job-retirement. In order to smoothly overcome the crisis of such transitional passage ceremonies, appropriate consciousness such as retirement ceremonies, identity formation and crisis emotional support counseling programs, retirement preparation education, and psychological counseling support are needed.
