Ivan Illich의 핵심사상에 기반한 중등 진로교육의 대안적 패러다임 탐색 연구

Abstract

Objectives Based on Ivan Illich's key ideas, this study explored an alternative paradigm for secondary career education.
 Methods The research method involved an inductive content analysis of four of Illich's works that cover education and labor.
 Results First, Illich's key ideas were divided into two main areas: insight and alternatives. The insight area comprised three factors (1. radical monopoly, 2. the decline of vernacular and commons, and 3. the birth of modern slavery) that reveal the hidden nature and violence of modern civilization. The alternative area consisted of institutional and cultural alternatives, with convivial retooling as the institutional factor and the recovery of the autonomous and creative life as the cultural factor. Second, an alternative paradigm for secondary career education in Korea based on Illich's key ideas emerged as a “journey toward autonomous and convivial life based on the local community” represented by a “horizontal and non-linear spider web” model.
 Conclusions To transition to an alternative paradigm based on Illich's key ideas, changes are required in the perception, system, and cultural dimensions of existing career education. First, in terms of perception, “career” needs to be understood as “a process of contemplating what is the best life for oneself,” and “career education” needs to be recognized as “providing an educational environment and support system to develop the capabilities and confidence needed for such a life.” Second, a new form of the career education system needs to be established, moving away from the entrenched existing educational system. Finally, in the cultural dimension, society needs to reflect on and transform the current career education system. Additionally, future research should examine a more diverse range of alternative cases, such as SOLE, Gaviotas, and Cuba's educational revolution, that has been overlooked by our education system due to social ideologies and other reasons.
