최근 급변하는 사회문화적 환경 및 교직 사회의 변화와 맞물려 교육대학에 입학하는 학생들의특성 또한 변화하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교육대학 학생들의 변화하는 특성과 교직에 대한 인식을 이해함으로써 초등교원 양성의 질을 보장하기 위해서 교육대학의 교육과정 및 학생지도 방안의 수립에 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 서울교육대학교의 사례를 중심으로, 서울교육대학교 2013학년도 신입생 실태조사 결과와 과거 신입생 실태조사 결과를비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 신입생 중 재수생의 비율이 급증하고 있고, 좋은 가정배경 및 학업능력이 뛰어난 우수한 인재들이 더 많이 입학하고 있음이 나타났다. 또한 신입생들은 적성 및 진로문제에 대한 관심이 높아졌으며, 환경변화에 따른 시간 관리의 어려움을 호소하는 것으로 드러났다. 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로 초등교원 양성대학에 주는 시사점을 논의하였다.
Recently, the characteristics of entering freshmen in the University of Education have been changing according to the rapid changes in socio-cultural environment and community of teaching profession. The purpose of the study is to identify the changes in the characteristics of first-year students at the University of Education and their views on teaching profession. Researchers expect that the findings can encourage University of Education to develop their curriculum for guaranteeing the quality of training pre-service elementary teachers. For this purpose, based on the survey of entering freshmen in 2013 at Seoul National University of Education, researchers compare the result of 2013 with the past. The following summarizes the result of the study. The ratio of repeat examinees have been sharply increased. Also, more outstanding students who have good family backgrounds and academic abilities get in to the university. First year students are more concerned about their aptitude and career issues than the past. And they are troubled in time management. With these results, implications for University of Education are being discussed.
