IPA 기법을 활용한 영어교사 역량의 중요도와 실행도 분석

This study analyzes the importance and performance level of English teachers’ competencies to find ways to enhance English teachers’ competencies. For this, a total of 602 English teachers representing three school levels, from primary schools to high school, responded to a survey which consisted of 12 competency factors. The results are as follows. First, the level of importance they assigned the twelve competencies was high compared with the level of performance. Second, twelve competencies fall into four categories: ‘concentrate here’ (four competencies), ‘keep up the good work’ (two competencies), ‘low priority’ (four competencies), and ‘possible overkill’ (two competencies). The results identified focus areas to enhance English teachers’ competencies and suggest some principles to improve in-service teachers’ training programmes.
