학교 의사결정에 대한 초등학교 교사의 수용 영역 및 참여 수준 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the development directions for effective school decision-making by analyzing the zone of acceptance and participation level of elementary school teachers in school decision-making. The main results are as follows. In the results of the zone of acceptance, most of the school decision-making contents were found to be located outside or marginal(high relevance) of the zone of acceptance that requires participation expanding. In addition, the decision-making contents located outside of the zone of acceptance can be recognized not only at the every school level but also at the small group level such as same grade year or subject, whereas the decision-making contents located inside of the zone of acceptance are mainly discussed to the every school level. In the results of participation level, teacher participation in decision-making was mainly classified into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 4, and Type 8. In the results of comparison with the zone of acceptance and participation level, it was found that the participation level was made in accordance with the normative direction of participation according to the zone of acceptance for some decision-making contents. However, most of the other decision-making contents were found to be located outside or marginal(high relevance) of the zone of acceptance requiring participation expanding, but the participation level can not reach to the zone of acceptance as a decisional deprivation. Combining the above results, this study derive development directions for effective teacher participation in school decision-making. First, policy support is needed to activate teachers' opinions and influence beyond decision-making participation which was centered on providing opportunities for participation. Second, by subdividing the size or scope of school decision-making contents into the small groups, teachers' approach and immersion to school decision-making should be improved. Third, school needs to establish institutional arrangements or change the school organizational culture to allow school decision-making to be delegated to small groups, in other words on a team level.
