This research, taking note of "after-school class" policy emerging as a strong alternative to curbing the excessive private education, and facing up to the fact that the most important thing for this policy to be successfully managed and proceeded is the quality of after-class teachers who are obviously to be in the core position of education in case this policy in question should be implemented, is aimed at preparing an alternative for teachers' training.
For this purpose, a survey was conducted on teachers' preference, job satisfaction degree and organizational immersion degree targeting at teachers in charge of computer class after school at elementary schools showing the most outstanding achievements, through which, this research is going to suggest basic data on teachers' training for after-school class procedures which would be ever extended hence after and for effective training of teachers as well as its related management plan. First, a tool called "DISC behavioral pattern" was used to analyze computer teachers' pattern after school, through which this research tried to find out whether there is a difference in DISC behavioral pattern distribution, job satisfaction and organizational immersion by behavioral pattern.
Thus, the above-mentioned survey targeting at the 302 present computer teachers was conducted and the obtained conclusions are as follows:
First, the majority of the present computer teachers were unmarried women under the age of 30 and in their early 30s, DISC behavioral pattern considered, influence type accounted for 43% out of the surveyed in total; steadiness type for 23%; conscientiousness type for 18%.
Second, among the 15 DISC typical behavioral patterns, IS pattern-counsellor type accounted for 21.7%; ID pattern-persuader type and promoter type for 15% and CS pattern-perfectionist type for 11%. They showed a big difference in their behavioral pattern comparing to C pattern of the majority of general post-holding teachers. This means after-school teachers mostly showed their positive, open-mined pattern unlike the general post-holding teachers who enjoy a stable working pattern.
Third, their job satisfaction was proved to be high on the whole, and the consciousness of their job duties is also very high. The working relationship with their colleagues and the interested personnel was positive. The importance degree at a personal viewpoint was proved to be on their wages and they showed their complaint about their wages and consequential grievances very much.
Fourth, as to the satisfaction degree with job duties according to DISC pattern, influence type[I pattern] accounted for the highest proportion and dominance type[D pattern] the next, which was similar to the aspect of general-post holding teachers ; Satisfaction degree of open-minded, positive type of teachers were commonly high both in general-post holding teachers and after-class teachers. As for the degree of consciousness, achievement, and spontaneity, the dominance type[D pattern]and influence type[I pattern] marked the highest numerical value, these types of teachers showed their strong sense of confidence and positiveness in fulfilling their job duties.
Fifth, as for the measurement of organizational immersion, they generally favor the current job, but showed a high probability of moving to another company because of wages and job security. The detailed analysis by pattern was omitted due to its low reliability.
Among the after-class computer teachers working for elementary schools, the number of teachers with open-minded and positive 'D' pattern and 'I' pattern took up the highest proportion and they also showed highest degree of satisfaction and organizational immersion while carrying out a long service. Thus, teaching materials suited for 'D' and 'I' patterns in consideration of their positiveness and pioneering spirit should be more reflected in their training curriculum; likewise, if the management methods suited for the propensity of 'D' and 'I' pattern, such as management system and its format as well as its operating methods in consideration of the less conscientious pattern 'D' and 'I' should be used, there could be a more effective training model coming out for after-school computer teachers.
