The purpose of this study was to search the changing process of teachers' training programs and the contents of current in-service training programs, and to analyse the level of satisfaction and expectation of group in-service training program for teachers, and then to present detailed plans for improvement in teachers' in-service training program.
This survey was conducted for teachers in elementary schools at Po-hang area in Gyeong-buk by stratified sampling considering gender, career, the subject of school establishment and the intention of promotion. A total 400 questionnaires were distributed. 336 among returned 376 questionnaires, of which respondents had experienced an in-service training program over one time, were analyzed as useful data.
The results of this study are summarized as follows:
The teachers are not satisfied with current in-service training program.
The major reasons of above result are that first, the condition of actual education field is not reflected at all in the stage of development of training curriculums and programs. second, in-service training program doesn't consider the difference of ability in individual's work performance, and the last, the result of survey after training course is never reflected at the next training course. A good many teacher were having negative recognition about the necessity of training, the availability of training contents, the suitability of education methods, the objectivity in selection of trainees and the attitude toward acceptance of compensation for the training etc, which keep teachers from voluntary and aggressive participation in training program.
The teachers expect that the training program will satisfy the demands of trainee in the course through the teachers' need analysis. They hope that the subjects of in-service training should be intending applicants, the time to be trained is within the summer or the winter vacation.
And they think that experienced person having experience in incumbency is suitable as a instructor for training. In training methods, they require that both of attendance and on-line courses should be carried out side by side. In addition, they think the authorities have to take responsibility for the costs for training journey and the training points should be used for their promotion and raising.
Especially the teachers expect that the in-service training will be operated flexibly by users than uniformly by the authorities
