소규모학교와 지역사회 융합방안의 해외사례 분석과 시사점

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to collect and analyze cases in the United States and Japan on the convergence of small schools and local communities, and to obtain implications for Korea In order to achieve the purpose, the relationship and convergence between small schools and local communities, and the cases of the United States and Japan were collected and analyzed. The results are as follows. First, in the case of the United States, the local manpower pool was actively used and parents’ school education support was also active. In particular, by encouraging students to actively and voluntarily participate in the school education program, parents made efforts to support their children’s education to induce the participation of local residents. Second, in the case of Japan, projects were implemented to support the regeneration of small schools within the local community and to create a village school after the consolidation and abolition of small schools. Third, as ways for convergence between small schools and local communities, a win-win principle and strategy between small schools and village education communities were adopted, and as a community hub, it is necessary to play an important role in terms of educational administration, curriculum operation and student support, and the local community. The establishment of cooperative governance between education administration and general administration, and mutual understanding and communication and consensus formation among local community residents, parents as well as students, education authority, local governments, and school teachers are important for successful convergence of small schools and local communities.
