교육복지사 배치 여부에 따른 단위학교 교육복지 운영사례 비교분석

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the operation process of educational welfare at schools, identify limitations, and suggest improvement methods.
 Methods Considering the placement of educational workers, school level, school location, and number of students, focus group interview and written investigation were conducted on 8 target schools, 16 school faculties. Written investigation and focus group interview questions were constructed based on the CIPP model. The collected data were analyzed based on the CIPP model.
 Results The educational welfare operation process of the unit school differed depending on the placement of educational workers. First, schools with educational workers tried to realize universal welfare that focuses on satisfying various educational welfare needs for all students, while schools without educational workers focused on the target and scope of educational welfare for students of a specific class. Second, most schools with educational workers were systematically organized into departments, budgeting, and functions and roles of manpower, while schools without educational workers had difficulty operating due to limited manpower, organization, and budget input. Third, in the case of schools with educational workers, various types of support are provided based on the school's internal and external cooperation system, while schools without educational workers have difficulty in selecting target students, case management, and linking with external resources. Finally, regarding the achievements of educational welfare, schools with educational workers presented visible achievements such as student growth, community change, and improvement of educational equity, while non-arranged schools presented visible achievements such as improved academic achievement and positive peer relations.
 Conclusions Schools should view all students as potential targets of educational welfare. In order to realize educational welfare in daily educational activities, ‘integrated growth support team’ should be established or strengthened on an organizational basis, ‘integrated growth case management’ on a content basis, and ‘cooperative governance’ on a professional basis.
