방재역량 강화를 위한 방재교육훈련 활성화방안 연구

Abstract

Education on disaster prevention, one of the Non-structural Disaster Countermeasures, is being carried out by many institutions such as the Central Civil Defense and Disaster Prevention Institute, other central or local government and related-institutions, in compliance with Article 34 of the Disaster and Safety Management Basic Act. Disaster prevention education, however, has been facing a lot of problems, as people still do not have enough educational opportunities to expand their skills in the field of disaster prevention. For example, lack of infrastructure such as educational facilities, experimental spaces and equipment has been an issue as well as the participatory learning methods such as tabletop exercise, role play, and field experience have not yet settled down. In other hand, traditional teaching methods such as supplier-oriented education are still the ones prevailing, therefore, it is not easy to obtain good results in disaster prevention education. In this sense, this study investigated the current problems in disaster prevention education, and sought ways to revitalize specific programs as means of enhancing the disaster prevention capabilities as followings. Firstly, this study emphasizes the importance of enactment of `Act for Revitalizing Education and Training Experts in Disaster Prevention`. Secondly, it presents a way of enhancing educational infrastructure through the organizational extension of the existing National Disaster Management Institution. Lastly, it suggests the extension of consumer oriented educational curriculums and participatory learning methods along with constant feed-back system in disaster prevention education.
