Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the mechanism by which external apprenticeship policies are borrowed in Korea, and to identify the reasons why external policies are transformed into Korean style within this mechanism.
 To achieve this goal, this study conducted a qualitative case study by securing data through literature analysis and semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted by selecting a total of 34 people involved in industry, academia, government, and research institute concurrently in consideration of the representativeness and balance of the sample.
 In this study, from the perspective of morphogenetic theory that explains the mechanism of social change by considering both the influence of the structure and agency, a new analysis framework was designed to supplement the existing education training policy borrowing analysis framework. Based on this analysis framework, Korea's apprenticeship policy borrowing mechanism was analyzed by dividing it into three stages: structural conditioning, actor interaction, and structural internalization. And how the external policy prototype was transformed into the Korean style by the structure and actors was discussed. Based on this, the meaning of the ‘Korean style’ transformation was reexamined and the direction for the Korean education training policy borrowing was suggested.
 The implications of this research is that first, by clarifying the mechanism of the Korean apprenticeship policy borrowing, it provides feedback to policy makers and researchers on ways to develop a truly Korean style apprenticeship policy by taking the Korean structure and agency into account. This research also suggests a new framework to analyze the education training policy borrowing mechanism by considering both the structure and the agency on equal terms.
