한국의 그린스마트 미래학교와 미국의 Future Ready School의 비교 연구

Abstract

This study aimed to compare ‘Green-smart Future School’ in Korea and ‘Future Ready School(FRS)’ in the United States, and to derive implications for the successful implementation of Korea's future education policy. The subject of the analysis focused on ‘policy goals’ and ‘policy means’. First, Korea’s policy goals have a lesser clarity than the United States due to fragmented goals and high symbolism. Second, compared to the unified policy goals of FRS, Korean policy goals lack consistency due to less logical connectivity among sub-goals and mutual contradiction. Third, the policy enforcement agencies of Green-smart Future School were subdivided, compared to the FRS’ unified manner entrusted to non-profit organizations. Fourth, the Korean compliance securing means was confirmed by normative persuasion and coercion, and the U.S compliance securing means was confirmed by normative persuasion and support. Based on this, four suggestions were derived as follows: First, even considering the positive aspects of symbolic ambiguity of policy goals, it is necessary to present clearer policy goals for the correct directionality of policy execution. Second, the setting of a single policy goal makes it difficult to exercise flexibility in the field, but a consistent logical goal system is required for successful policy execution. Third, it is necessary to establish a policy execution system corresponding to a new paradigm of future education. Finally, to induce compliance with future education policy stakeholders, active support through two-way communication must be accompanied.
