교육컨설팅의 학문적 정립에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to suggest the direction of development of education consulting through the establishment of education consulting as a discipline. This study examined the origins and current status of education consulting and the challenges for establishing education consulting as a discipline. The Korean graduate schools, domestic academic institutions, were the starting point of education consulting in the world. In March 2012, the first master's program in education consulting was opened at Dongduk Women's University Graduate School of Education. The Department of Education Consulting and the Major in Education Consulting have been established in the master's and doctoral programs of three Korean graduate schools and in the master's programs of nine Korean graduate schools of education. The Korea Association of Education Consulting and Coaching, a professional society of education consulting, was founded in June 2017, and its professional journal, the Journal of Education Consulting and Coaching, was selected as a KCI accredited journal of the National Research Foundation of Korea in January 2022. In order to establish education consulting as an academic discipline, this study proposed to establish research objects and research areas of education consulting, establish theories and research methods, expand the establishment of education consulting departments and education consulting majors in Korean universities and graduate schools, and expand professional societies and professional journals related to education consulting. This study is the first paper to study the academic establishment of education consulting through the research objects, theories, and research methods of education consulting, the establishment of master's and doctoral programs in graduate schools, the establishment of professional societies, and the publication of professional journals, and has significance as a basic study for the academic establishment of education consulting.
