A Study on the Elementary and Secondary Teacher Selection and Recruitment System
The purpose of this study was to propose a practical way of teacher selection system to recruit a high quality teacher based on the current teacher recruitment system. To achieve the goal of this purpose, the employed method was the related literature review and data analysis. Through this process, the following conclusions were derived as such: To acquire a high quality teacher, the current teacher selection system should be restructured to the direction of enhancing the teacher professionality. In a quite strict sense, the current teacher selection and the recruitment process had nothing to do with the high quality teacher selection and recruitment resulted from a lack of evaluation system with reliability and validity. Even essay test and interview test did not guarantee the objectiveness and reliability because of no feedback from teacher training institutes. Therefore, it is proposed that various evaluation tool must be developed considering the dimension of cognitive, affective, and social characteristics of a teacher, not simple questions and stereotyped interview.
