A Review of the Direction for Establishing an Environmental Education City Based on the Analysis of the Current Status of Environmental Education in Korea : Focused on the Metropolitan City

Abstract

Along with the corona crisis, a global environmental crisis is accelerating. This study examines the concrete status and current status of environmental education at the metropolitan level, and reviews discussions on the direction of the creation of an environmental education city. To this end, data were collected from institutions and organizations conducting environmental education in Metropolitan A city, and the current status was identified through the content analysis method. Regarding the direction of creating an environmental education city, the following research results can be presented. First, the environmental education city should be built in the connection with the existing lifelong learning city. Second, the environmental education city needs to be extended and linked not only to school education, but also to vocational training, higher education, and lifelong education. Third, the environmental education city needs to be reorganized into a learner-centered city, not a provider-oriented city of environmental education. Fourth, the environmental education city needs to establish a mutual linkage system in connection with sustainable development education.
