Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the current status and actual conditions of the Creative Experience Activities (CEA) based on the perceptions of middle school teachers and to draw implications for the improvement of the CEA. To this end, we devised a survey tool consisting of 11 questions in four areas such as overall perception of the CEA, organization and operation of the CEA, curriculum linkage, and linkage of human and physical capital inside and outside the school. A survey was conducted on 102 middle school teachers nationwide. The results of the survey are as follows. First, the degree of the achievement and purpose of the CEA in middle school was generally positive. Second, respondents were generally positive about the degree of school autonomy in organizing and operating the CEA in middle school, and they recognized the creative experience plan of nearby schools as important in selecting club activities, educational contents and activities for the first year of middle school. Third, it was generally positive about the degree of subject linkage of the CEA in middle school and 46.5% of the linked subjects were concentrated on arts and physical education subjects. Finally, respondents considered the time per subject for each teacher in assigning teachers for the CEA, and it was confirmed that the previous case of school was used for collecting information and utilizing human resources in the school. Based on these research results, this study suggested plans for improving the curriculum for the CEA in middle schools
