1. A method, by a terminal, for switching an Internet of things (IoT) mode in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a base station, an operation mode switch request requesting a switch of a source IoT mode which is a current operation mode of the terminal through a specific physical channel, in a radio resource control (RRC) connection state;
receiving, from the base station, an operation mode switch response to the operation mode switch request; and
switching from the source IoT mode to a specific target IoT mode based on the operation mode switch response.
