AB - This study analyzes teacher librarians’ perceptions of concept-based inquiry learning to propose strategies for expanding its field application. Focus Group Interviews were conducted with 11 teacher librarians in Region J before and after a training program. The interviews utilized a semi-structured questionnaire based on KWLS—a metacognitive facilitation learning strategy—to deeply capture the internalized perceptions of the teacher librarians. The findings are as follows: First, teacher librarians integrated concept-based inquiry into existing collaborative teaching contexts and redefined their roles as curriculum designers. Second, there was a high demand for concrete implementation strategies over theoretical justification. Third, the exam-focused educational climate and relative evaluation system were identified as major practical barriers. Based on these findings, this study proposes: (1) developing standardized assessment models within the “curriculum-instruction-evaluation-recording integrity” framework and improving the college entrance system; (2) institutionalizing collaborative teaching cultures during the school preparation period; and (3) providing practice-oriented workshops and improving the teacher librarian supervision system. These results aim to enhance teacher librarians’ pedagogical expertise and strengthen the role of school libraries as curriculum hubs.
