본 연구는 초등학교교육의 특수성을 고려하여, 초등학교교육의 효과성 구성 변인과 총체적 질 관리의 구성 변인을 추출·분석하고, 초등학교교육 효과성과 총체적 질 관리의 통합 모형을 개발하는데 목적을 두고, 문헌 고찰에 의한 이론적 연구와 질문지 조사활동 및 자료분석에 의한 통계적 연구 등 다양한 연구 방법을 적용하였다. 먼저 학교교육 효과성과 총체적 질 관리의 구성 변인을 추출·분석하고 종합 분석된 통합 모형의 구성 변인을 중심으로 통합 모형의 검증을 위한 최종 질문지를 개발하였으며, 타당도와 신뢰도에 의해 확정된 질문지를 통하여 통합 모형을 검증하기 위해 SPAA-AMOS 4.0 통계프로그램에 의한 적합도 지수에 의하여 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 이론 모형은 초등학교교육 효과성과 총체적 질 관리 통합 모형으로 적합하다는 것이 검증되었으며, 각 모형의 각 변인간의 경로 관계를 검증한 결과, 변인간의 관계가 의의있는 것으로 확인되었다.

The purposes of his study are to investigate relationships between effectiveness and quality related to elementary education, and to develop an Integration Model of Educational Effectiveness and Total Quality Management in Elementary Schools. For the purposes, this study was designed as follows; First, by reviewing the related literature about Educational Effectiveness and Total Quality Management, a theoretical model was constructed. Second, a questionnaire was developed to measure the major factors of the Integration Model to be suitable for elementary schools. That was verified by examining the validity(Factor analysis) and reliability(Cronbach`s a coefficient and test-reliability). SPSS-AMOS 4.0 was adopted to test the relationship between the theoretical Integration Model and each variables. The model fitness was identified by using the chi-square statistics(0.25), Goodness-of-Fit Index(GFI 0.94), Adjusted Goodness-off Fit Index(AGFL, 0.85), Normed Fit Index(NFI, 0.93), and Non Normed Fit Index(NNFL, 0.95). The conclusion of this study based upon the results is that the Integration Model of Educational Effectiveness and Total Quality Management could be useful and applied to elementary schools. However, educational organization has its uniqueness of system, and the paradigm which able to manage the quality is required. To discuss the effectiveness and quality, it is necessary to consider the intrinsic nature of elementary education and the related stakeholders.
