학교교육 생산성에 미치는 영향요인 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to empirically analyze factors influencing schooling productivity which means comprehensively by integrating quantitative educational outcome such as academic achievement and qualitative educational outcomes like school satisfaction of students. The subjects of this study were 1,060 students and 205 teachers from 18 general public and private high schools located in Jeollabuk-do. Multiple regression analysis was used by extracting a total of 12 variables predicted as factors affecting schooling productivity. Specifically, there were 4 school variables (number of students per teacher, number of students per class, facility level, administrative support level), and 4 student variables (educational expenditure per student, SES of students, teacher satisfaction of students, and principal satisfaction of students). And there were 4 teacher variables (teacher's educational attainment level, career level, teacher's job satisfaction, and teacher's principal satisfaction). The main findings of this study were as followings; First, the factors that affected academic achievement include the number of students per class, the facility level, the level of administrative support, and educational expenditure per student and the student's SES. Second, the factors that affected student satisfaction with school were the facility level, the student's SES, the student's teacher satisfaction and the student's principal satisfaction. Third, the factors that affected both academic achievement and student satisfaction in school were the facility level and the student's SES. Finally, among the school variables, the number of students per teacher and four teacher variables did not affect schooling productivity. While research on schooling productivity has been mainly focused on academic achievement for more than 50 years since Coleman's report(1966), this study was meaningful in defining schooling productivity to include students' school satisfaction as a qualitative outcome of schooling and academic achievement as a quantitative outcome of schooling, and empirically verifies the influencing factors. The results of this study would provide implications for the future direction of evidence-based education finance policy establishment and education financial investment by empirically analyzing the factors affecting schooling productivity.
