The Performance Level and Educational Needs of Teachers in Competence Needed for Practical Arts Education

The purpose of this study was to determine the current performance level and educational needs of teachers in competence needed for the Practical Arts Subject in elementary schools. The educational needs of teachers in practical arts were calculated by using the Borich’s Needs Assessment Model. For the purpose of this study all teachers who taught students from 3rd grade to 6th grade in Taegu were considered. A sample of 360 was selected randomly from the population. The data was collected by using the mailed questionnaire developed by researchers. There was a response rate of 93.6%. Based upon the findings of this study, the current performance level of teachers was at an average that was beyond the required competence level to teach students but they comparatively had high educational needs in some practical arts competence areas such as planting flowers and vegetables, raising animals, making technical products, etc. The calculated educational needs of teachers in competence would be used for prioritizing the training programing for teachers. Several recommendations were made for providing teachers with training as well as for building their skills in practical arts competence.
