This study aims to present some corroborative data to find out a improvable plan or a reform measure on a resolution of proceedings in a school unit through a survey of actual condition about to what extent teachers, who are on duty in the elementary schools in Jeonlabuk province at the present time, take part in a resolution of school proceedings.
The summary of this study is as follows.
The first, this study backs up the study precedent that teachers want to take part in a resolution of school proceedings, in fact, the more they participate in, the higher the effect is; nevertheless, most teachers hasn't taken part in a resolution of proceedings on current school activities yet, which shows contrary evidence that school administration is performed by a schoolmaster and a vice-master as a central figure.
The second, Organizing, managing and planning guidance for living and curriculum, and taking partial charge of teachers' school affairs related with intramural activities are still constituted in due traditional and bureaucratic methods by a schoolmaster and a vice-master as a central figure. To enhance efficiency and to increase the standard of teachers' partition, teachers' current characteristics have to be considered in organizing, managing and curriculum, besides, a reasonable and democratic decision in line with capacity through the process of a coordination and a consultation on the basis of teachers' own preferred post have to be performed in relation to taking partial charge of school affairs.
The third, when teachers choose and purchase teachers' reference books, teaching-learning materials and teaching tools related closely to teaching activities, the teachers' opinions are not reflected. So it's better for the authorities concerned with the education to make an effort to reflect opinions and experiences of teachers knowing well about characteristics of a course of study than to prepare the education-related materials by means of unilateral, stereotyped needs.
The forth, Judging from the standard of participation in a resolution of proceedings for school management, in the main, the participant ratio of men-teachers, teachers with long-term careers and teachers in urban areas have a tendency to appear highly as compared to the participant ratio of women-teachers, teachers with short-term careers and teachers in rural areas, which means that traditional custom and authority in our society still remains in the educational world. Considering that elementary schools, for the most part, consist of women-teachers, there is necessity for authorities concerned to enlarge women-teachers' participation and they have to try not to ignore of teachers with short-term careers the same as they have to respect the seniority and rank.
At the conclusion, there is a school steering committee composed of the parents of students, the personae of society and the staffs of a school, the school management is performed by mutual consent in the school steering committee. However, because in case of ordinary staffs who don't belong to the staffs of the school steering committee, they have few opportunity to participate in a resolution of school proceedings relatively, which is most likely to cause indifference about the school management. So before some matters are brought up in the school steering committee, through a whole faculty conference, procedure asking for their opinions must continue to proceed in advance.
