Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify how teacher librarians perceive the importance of each job and the expected job of other teachers and students, and to obtain basic information on their job recognition and to derive their jobs to be improved. To this end, after modifying the 25 jobs selected by Lim Jeong-hoon et al.(2021), 210 librarian teachers were measured for their own importance by job, the expected importance of other teachers and students, and the level of evaluation of their own performance ability. As a result of the analysis, teacher librarians recognized ‘reading education and literacy education’ as the most important, but recognized ‘library event’ as the most important task expected of other teachers and students, and recognized that ‘library usage guidance’ was the most outstanding. In addition, there were nine jobs that needed to be improved.
