해방 후 1950년대까지 중등교사 자격제도의 수립과 한계

Abstract

This study set out to analyze the characteristics of the review process for the authorization of history textbooks during the period of the ‘Course of Study’. The main findings of this study are as follows: This study dealt with the establishment of teacher qualification standards and the problem of unqualified teachers in the expansion of secondary school teachers in Korea from the 1940s to the 1950s. As qualification certification was implemented in step with an increase of secondary education teachers after liberation, teacher qualification standards had to be made. Teacher qualification standards were established, starting with "Elementary and Secondary School Teacher Qualification Standards" (1948) and going through the legislation processes of "Educational Civil Service Qualification Standards" (1953) and Enforcement Regulations (1954). Accordingly, educational background, experience, and retraining standards needed for the provision of teacher certifications such as for regular teachers and assistant teachers were prepared. The establishment of standards led to the occurrence of unqualified teachers. While opportunities for qualification through retraining were provided, acquisition was difficult due to the Korean War. As unqualified people were on the verge of being expelled under the laws of 1945, educational authorities relieved them through simple screenings. Consequentially, policies to maintain teacher standards by establishing teacher qualification standards and certification expiration dates were not carried out and were refracted. This became a precedent and afterwards, it led to teacher policies busy with supply and demand during a period of secondary education expansion.
