Abstract
Objectives The objective of this study was to analyze the importance and performance of “Korean language education communicative competency” based on IPA. Methods This study conducted a questionnaire for IPA analysis after recruiting 201 elementary school teachers mainly in the Gyeongnam area as study participants. Results First, the necessity of IPA analysis was confirmed because the result of the paired t-test revealed that the importance and performance of “Korean language education communicative competency” were significantly (p<.05) different in the teacher group. Second, the results of the IPA analysis showed that “creative thinking, content organization, inference, criticism, composition of writing, analysis/synthesis, self-actualization, mutual negotiation, reflection/sympathy, reflection on language life, adjustment of language life, conflict management and inspection/adjustment” were in the index that was located in the second quadrant of the IPA matrix (requiring intensive improvement), indicating that the study participants perceived that these indices needed improvement. Conclusions Focused on the perception of elementary school teachers in Gyeongnam region study, this study was to analyze the importance and performance of “Korean language education communicative competency” based on IPA. We hope that the results of this study could lay a foundation for vitalizing education and research on “Korean language education communicative competency” and contribute to competency-oriented Korean language education.
