The purpose of this study aims at analyzing pending problems and exploring policy directions of teacher recruitment in korea.
The requirements to be resolved in the teacher recruitment system are as follows.
First, the autonomy on teacher recruitment of the education offices of cities and provinces should be strengthened. Rather than the traditional uniform and centralized manner, new evaluation methods suitable for the local characteristics should be developed and adopted through consistent study on evaluation tools.
Second, the number of new teachers appointed should be radically expanded. To raise the education level up to that of other OECD countries, at least additional about 100 thousand new teachers are required. The new demands should be met by a gradual and steady increase.
Third, a comprehensive plan for supply and demand of teachers should be established and carried out. For the purpose, a long-term and consecutive analysis of the demand of teachers as well as plan of the supply of teachers should be made.
Fourth, improvement of the procedure and method of teacher appointment is needed. New test items and tools for evaluation should be developed, and practical tests for teaching competence are required for all teacher candidates. In addition, oral tests should be reinforced.
Fifth, it is necessary for teacher candidates to complete systematic induction programs.
Finally, additional points should be adjusted. Additional points for locality should be lowered. Instead, additional points for attracting competent human resources required in the society of knowledge and information should be emphasized.
