이 연구의 목적은 임용고사를 준비하는 예비체육교사의 걱정거리와 진로전념을 분석하여 그들의 임용준비 과정에존재하는 갈등과 순응 현상을 이해하는데 있다. 이를 위해 유목적표집법을 활용하여 임용고사에 두 번 이상 도전했으며, 1차 시험에 합격한 경험이 있는 예비체육교사 5명을 연구참여자로 선정하였다. 자료는 심층면담과 전자우편(e-mail)으로 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 주제분석 방법을 통해 분석되었다. 그 결과, 임용고사를 준비하는 예비체육 교사의 걱정거리는 세 가지로 첫째, ‘구조에 순응할 수밖에 없는 필연적(必然的) 소비자’인 예비체육교사들의 임용체계에 대한 걱정이었다. 둘째, ‘경제적 한계’였다. 교사가 되기 위한 과정에 소비되는 경제적 부담이 그들의 걱정거리로 작용하였다. 셋째, ‘이론과 실기, 병행의 어려움’이었다. 예비체육교사들은 이론과 실기를 함께 병행해야하는 현실에 많은 부담을 느끼고 있었다. 임용고사를 준비하는 예비체육교사의 진로전념은 두 가지로 ‘중요타자의 조언’과 ‘대안의 부재(不在)’였다. 구체적으로 그들이 진로에 확신을 갖고 몰입하는 이유는 희망을 주는 선배와 친구의 조언이 큰 역할을 했다. 또한 ‘체육교사’라는 일방향적 진로경로에서 살아남기 위한 노력이 그들의 진로전념이유였다.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze applicant``s anxieties and devotion to his/her career path who wants to become a physical education teacher. Another purpose is to apprehend their inner conflicts and adaptation process which they could go through in the course of preparing the teachers’ licence. To do this, a purposeful sampling method was used. Five potential physical education teachers were selected as study participants, who had an experience of applying the teacher recruitment examination at least over two times and then passing the primary one. The relevant materials were collected by in-depth interview and e-mail, and then the collected materials are analyzed by the way of subject analysis. As a result, the anxieties that they had in common were largely divided into three. The first one was on the potential physical education teacher recruitment system in which they can not help complying with the structure as an inevitable consumer. The next one was a financial problem. The heavy financial burden while they were preparing the examination was another concern to them. The last one was that they felt too much pressure in keeping pace with studying the theory and practicing it at the same time. The two reasons why the potential physical education teachers were devoted themselves to preparing the examination were ``influential advice from others`` and ``the absence of alternatives``. First of all, the advice, which their seniors or friends give to them, played especially a crucial role in having confidence and their being wrapped up in the career path. The other important reason was their endeavor to struggle to survive in the only one way career path to be a physical teacher
