Abstract

This paper investigats the state of the art of the school library media specialist(SLMS)'s certification in the United States. The content includes development of the SLMS certification, certification requirements, titles, preparatory education programs especially accredited by ALA and NCATE, personnel standards and regulations of states. The basic certification requirements are teacher certification and/or MLIS(MLS), but varying from state to state. Personnel standards are regulated by the Education Department of states, otherwise regional associations of colleges and schools. Nineteen states have the standards and three regional associations among six have very specified ones. The paper also analyzes NBPTS for Library Media and discussions on '65% Solution' which is an education reform movement affecting school library seriously.

본 연구는 미국 학교도서관 전문직(School Library Media Specialist : SLMS) 자격제도의 구성과 발전, 자격요건, 명칭, 교육 프로그램, 배치규정 등을 분석하였다. 미국의 SLMS의 자격요건은 주에 따라 다르지만 가장 중요한 요건은 교사자격과 문헌정보학 석사학위이다. 자격명칭 역시 주에 따라 다양하지만 School Library Media Specialist, Library Media Specialist가 가장 일반적이다. 자격제도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 주 교육청, 준비교육기관(대학), 전문직 단체가 있으며, 전국 교사교육 인가위원회인 NCATE가 ALA와 함께 교육프로그램 인가에 깊이 관여하고 있다. SLMS의 배치는 주 교육청 또는 지역 교육기관 인가단체에서 규정하는데 2002년 현재 19개 주가 규정을 갖고 있으며 늘어나는 추세이다. 6개의 지역 인가단체 중 3개 단체는 아주 명확한 규정을 확립하고 있다. 분야별 수석교사 평가제도인 NBPTS와 최근 학교도서관 및 사서교사의 위상을 위협하는 '65% 해법‘에 관해서도 검토하였다.
