ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the perceptions of school library roles among school librarians and general classroom teachers in elementary schools implementing the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. To achieve this objective, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 teachers—comprising five school librarians and ten general teachers—from ten IB World Schools located in the Daegu region of South Korea. The interview data were analyzed using qualitative research methods. The findings indicate notable differences in perceptions related to understanding of the IB programme, recognition of roles and working conditions, patterns of change in school libraries, library space, institutional conditions, and collaboration, including collaborative teaching practices.
