청소년 진로성숙도의 종단적 변화 유형 및 사회 활동 영향 요인에 관한 연구

Objectives This study categorized the trajectories of career maturity of adolescents according to the passage of time in consideration of the developmental stages of teen, and verified the predictive factors affecting each type.
 Methods For this purpose, data from the 4th year among the 2013 panel data of the Korean Educational Longitudinal Study of the Korea Educational Development Institute were used. As an analysis method, latent class growth analysis was excuted to classify a career maturity change trajectory of a teenager and significant predictive factor was proved through multiple logistic regression analysis.
 Results First, the career maturity level of the students was classified into three groups, and according to the change trajectory, the three groups were classified into a low-level increase group (1.8%), an average group (95.1%), and a high-level decrease group (3.1%). Second, the social activities that affect the group classification by level were care for others, cooperative behavior, and volunteer activitie, and the higher the care for others, the higher the probability of belonging to the high-level decrease group. Cooperative behavior and volunteer activities were likely to belong to the low-level increase group and average group.
 Conclusions This study categorized the career maturity of adolescents into groups and examined the effects of social activity on the grouping. It shows that intervention at the school level is necessary for the variables of other-care, cooperative learning, and volunteer activities that affect the potential group classification in order to improve career maturity.

The Economic Achievement of China's Education Linking with South Korea

This article introduces the development history of China's education model since 1949 and South Korea's education model since the 1950s. In the paragraph, the influence of the two countries’ social culture, economic conditions, and political policies are brought into the discussion of the educational development route. Then, based on China's development model, compare the different experiences of the two countries and explore the possible development direction and potential. In this comparative study, the article points to the relevant success of Chinese education. The leading principles and more radical policies of the revolutionary era have helped the whole nation's primary education and improved the inequality of women's education to a certain extent. For Korean society, there have also vigorously developed basic education and achieved outstanding results in reducing illiteracy. At the same time, they also received guidance from western education policies and assistance from educational materials. This article shows three aspects that have an essential impact on education. First, due to the social influence that men are superior to women, equality of educational opportunities for women in South Korea is challenging. Second, Korean students face higher pressure than Chinese students to obtain admission notices from excellent universities. Third, China and South Korea's economic development must face international economic development. Both countries' success and attention to education will improve the path of sustainable economic development.

Critical thinking in the national curriculum and teacher education in South Korea: a missing link

ABSTRACT Critical thinking (CT) is an essential quality promoted in educational policies across diverse education systems, yet there has been little effort to clarify its meaning and significance at the policy level. Because such clarification is essential to derive meaningful implications for preparing teachers for CT, this study critically analyses the conceptualisation of CT in two interrelated key policies—the national curriculum and teacher education (TE), focusing on the South Korean context. From a combination of quantitative and qualitative content analyses on pertinent policy documents, a serious inconsistency is found between the national curriculum and TE in terms of their understanding and presentation of CT. Although CT is presented in several subject syllabi as an important skill in attaining the curriculum vision, it is greatly marginalised in TE. This study contends that because the meaning of CT is ambiguous and has a lower status than other curriculum-based skills, this could lead to ignorance of it in TE. To identify the specific knowledge and skills that would build teachers’ capacity for teaching CT, further clarification of CT regarding its definition, pedagogical meaning and relationship with other comparable skills is thus necessary at the policy level.

Labor market performance gaps and the role of secondary vocational education at meister high school in Korea

This study explored the mechanism of labor market performance by confirming the role of secondary vocational education for young Korean employees of high school graduates. To this end, we focused on the Meister High School (MHS) policy for fostering the lead in secondary vocational education in Korea. In comparative perspective, data from 2,344 Korean employees who graduated from MHS or Specialized Vocational High School (SVHS) were analyzed. Firstly, it was found that MHS graduates obtained better objective performance conditions even if the crucial reginal and parental effects are controlled. Next, MHS graduates maintained higher job satisfaction focusing on their horizontal mismatch level. Moreover, MHS graduates with higher achievement in vocational courses were satisfied with their school life. Our findings found the significant roles of the Korean secondary vocational education policy by applying assumptions of the status acquisition model.

랜덤포레스트를 활용한 청년 취업선호도 영향 요인 분석

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that significantly affect youth's employment preference and to discover representative characteristic factors for each type of business. To this end, the data of 8,169 participants in the 4th year supplementary survey of the Korea Education and Employment Panel Survey (KEEP2) were analyzed using the random forest method. The main research results are as follows. First, factors in the psychological/environmental category had less influence than factors in the categories of economic burden, important factors in employment, and job conditions. Second, wage/remuneration, working environment, aptitude, knowledge/skill acquisition, growth potential, social image, welfare benefits, employment stability, social value/contribution, and work-life balance had a high proportion of influence on the employment preference of young people. Third, as a result of examining the characteristic factors by company type, the preference for employment at large companies differed in wages/ remuneration, working conditions, working environment, and academic background. The preference for SMEs was characterized by social value/contribution and cultural leisure- related working condit ions. On the other hands, the preference for public institutions and government-related jobs was found to be employment stability and job conditions. In financial institutions and startups, cultural leisure and the working environment had a great influence on the difference in preference. Based on the above research results, the factors influencing the employment preference of young people were summarized and suggestions for follow-up studies were presented.

Forest Kindergarten in Germany and Korea - An Empirical Comparative Study on the Educational Field of Aesthetics

This article presents a comparative international and cross-cultural study about aesthetics in in early childhood education in forest kindergarten education in Germany and Korea. It deals with differences in the understanding of education and the (educational) goals of the forest kindergarten pedagogy. In addition, the educational area of aesthetics in forest kindergartens in both countries is examined. This article presents the current state of research on aesthetic education in early childhood education in forest kindergartens. This is the first study that focuses on forest kindergartens and aesthetic education in an international and cross-cultural context. A written survey with mostly quantitative questions and some qualitative parts is conducted, in which both the parents (314) and the education experts (84) in Germany and South Korea were interviewed. The frequencies of the different statements were determined and presented graphically with Word clouds. The main result of this study is that the forest kindergarten pedagogy in Germany and Korea, despite different educational understandings and different cultures, has a lot in common, because the Koreans have taken over many aspects and attitudes from Germany. The educational field of aesthetics is explicitly more relevant in Germany, but the Korean experts are presenting many projects that have a close connection to the aesthetic education sector, without assigning them to this field. This includes especially traditional offers such as masquerade and calligraphy. The concluding consideration critically discusses the results and places them in the discourse of forest kindergarten pedagogy.

PISA 전후 우리나라의 교육 참조 국가 변화

Objectives This paper investigate whether the PISA rankings have resulted in the shifting of USA and high ranking countries referential status in South Korea education.
 Methods For the purposes of analysis, media representation and the number of articles of referential countries education in South Korea is analyzed by using a newspaper holding a high market share and diverse viewpoints from three time periods: two years before and after the first PISA release and for the last two years.
 Results Referential countries are diversified from only two countries, USA and Japan, after PISA in elementary and secondary education. Articles have much less detail about USA education. USA losing considerably slowly its status as a reference point for Korea education and the pattern of Japan articles has peculiarity.
 Conclusions The results of this study imply that the pattern of external referencing in media representation is affected by not only PISA but also historical, political, and cultural experiences in the case of South Korea. The world university ranking, meanwhile, has even bigger impact than PISA and cultural experience in a university education.

Establishing veterinary graduation competencies and its impact on veterinary medical education in Korea.

Competencies are defined as an observable and assessable set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Graduation competencies, which are more comprehensive, refer to the required abilities of students to perform on-site work immediately after graduation. As graduation competencies set the goal of education, various countries and institutions have introduced them for new veterinary graduates. The Korean Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges has recently established such competencies to standardize veterinary education and enhance quality levels thereof. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of establishing graduation competencies as well as their implication for veterinary education in Korea. Graduation competencies for veterinary education in Korea comprise 5 domains (animal health care and disease management, one health expertise, communication and collaboration, research and learning, and veterinary professionalism). These are further divided into 11 core competencies, and 33 achievement standards, which were carefully chosen from previous case analyses and nation-wide surveys. Currently, graduation competencies are used as a standard for setting clear educational purposes for both instructors and students. Establishing these competencies further initiated the development of detailed learning outcomes, and of a list of basic veterinary clinical performances and skills, which is useful for assessing knowledge and skills. The establishment of graduation competencies is expected to contribute to the continuous development of Korean veterinary education in many ways. These include curriculum standardization and licensing examination reform, which will eventually improve the competencies of new veterinary graduates.

Visualizing Divergence: Rhetorical Education and Historical Imagination in China and Korea (ca. 1314–1644)

Abstract: This essay explores how basic computer programming and data visualization provides new tools to understand the respective development of rhetorical education and historical imagination in China and Korea during the same period of the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries. Gathering data from large databases that contain thousands of collections printed in China and Korea, I show that a critical divergence emerged during the mid- and late sixteenth century in the field of rhetorical training. Specifically, the historical interests of Chinese elites gravitated toward the most recent episodes in the history of their own dynasty, while Chosŏn elites were increasingly devoted to the earliest phase of the Central Civilization. These observations complement existing studies that have focused on connections between China and Korea, and offer a starting point for understanding parallels and divergences between different regions and realms in East Asia.

Problematizing the paradoxical pedagogical gestures of ‘embracing diversity’: The case of multicultural education policies in South Korea

The multiculturalist agenda of ‘embracing diversity’ in schools has been criticized for its paradoxical effects of othering ‘diversity-relevant’ students, particularly minorities with an immigrant background. This study aims to critically scrutinize the meaning of ‘diversity’ as a policy problem formed within the policy discourse on multicultural education in South Korea from 2006 to 2020. We argue that the three meanings of diversity—i.e., diversity at-risk, productive diversity, and endurable diversity—indicate a way that identifies ‘multicultural students’ with ethno-racial differences as objects of ‘conditional’ embracing. Thinking with Jacques Derrida's notion of hospitality, we provide insights into a more responsible pedagogical mode of hospitality toward all diverse students, which ruptures the power hierarchies that attend each specific gesture of embracing diversity.

Elementary School Teachers’ Picture Book Selection Focusing on Student Diversity

Korean society has become considerably multicultural where people with various races, ethnicities, religions, languages, and cultural backgrounds compose its population. Picture books have been considered as an effective tool for multicultural education. Therefore, it is crucial to closely examine the factors of student diversity in school teachers’ text selection process. This study analyzed the cases of the United States, in which a multicultural society has been formed over a relatively longer period of time than in Korea in terms of languages, culture, social and economic backgrounds. This study aimed to clarify the factors and values that teachers in the lower grades of elementary school in the U.S. consider important as having priority, thus has more influence in selecting books, and how various backgrounds of students are reflected in teachers’ text selection process. The data was collected by interviewing 13 lower-grade American elementary school teachers and was qualitatively analyzed. The findings the research derive implications for the role and direction of teachers in using picture books for multicultural education in Korea. Based on the implications, this research contributes to the effective selection and use of picture book of multicultural education in Korea and contributes to the establishment of the foundation for the development of teacher education as well.

독일 통일과정과 이후 교육 분야 동·서독 교류, 지원 및 협력에 관한 연구

This study is to analyse the support, exchange and cooperation of education during and after unification of Germany and to extract implications for unification education in South Korea from it. The support and cooperation in education during the process of unification of Germany are summarized in four aspects: joint committee of education between East- and West Germany, educational cooperation between East-and West Berlin, cooperation of non-state organizations between East- and West Germany and recommendations and supports from the education of West Germany. After unification of Germany are analysed the support, exchange and cooperation of education. As the support of education were fulfilled financial, personal and material support from old federal states, educational support by international organization, and support by private foundations. There were also educational cooperations between East- and West Germany in various levels. Furthermore, there were various exchange of students, teachers, teacher organizations, schools between old and new federal states, and exchange of educational field as a part of city exchanges as well. We can extract following implications for unification education in South Korea from this study: the need for broad discussions on which level of unification teleological is in education, preparation of alternatives for overcoming the educatinal problems of South-and North Korea, recovery of the educational exchanges and cooperations between South-and North Korea in the level of province office of education, discussion on construction of joint committee of education between South-and North Korea, active investigation of educational support methods by international organization.

역사 실질 지식 연구의 동향과 과제

This article reviewed various works on historical substantive knowledge. With a social realist perspective on knowledge and curriculum, a new interest in historical substantive knowledge was examined. This article also investigated how historical substantive knowledge was addressed when discussing history education in Korea. In addition, empirical studies on historical substantive knowledge were reviewed, and the role and value of the historical substantive knowledge in students’ historical understanding were explored.BR Although historical substantive knowledge occupies an important position in historical education, historical substantive knowledge has been regarded as an object to be memorized or as background information for performing general skills. However, a recent discussion on knowledge of historical substance has emphasized the need to view historical substantive knowledge as something derived from a rigorous historical investigation. Also, it is suggested that it is crucial to thoroughly examine students’ understanding of historical substantive knowledge.BR To do so, it is necessary to examine how historical substantive knowledge are interwoven with second-order concepts of history, and how this understanding appears as a ‘usable’ big picture for students. At the same time, it is suggested that further studies continued in the future.

한국과 싱가포르의 영재교육 비교 분석

The purpose of this study is to compare gifted and talented education in Korea with Singapore. A comparative analysis with Singapore, which is widely recognized for its excellence in gifted and talented education, was expected to provide implications for improvement in Korea. For the analysis, the following four criteria were set: gifted education institutions and curriculum, search and selection of gifted students, pre-service and in-service education of teachers, and organization for administration and support. The analysis confirms that there are stark differences despite the commonality that both countries have improved gifted education in the direction of guaranteeing the educational right of gifted children. First, in terms of curriculum, unlike Korea's gifted education, which is conducted outside the regular curriculum, Singapore focuses on providing differentiated education within the regular curriculum. Second, in terms of identifying recipients for gifted education, Korea adopts a individual students application method, which may lead to omission of potential recipients. Singapore conducts a screening test for gifted education for all elementary school students. Third, in terms of teachers in charge of gifted education, Singapore has a differentiated selection and appointment system. The comparative analysis might give necessary implications.

한국에서의 일본고전문학교육의 의의에 관한 고찰 - 『만엽집』을 중심으로 -

As we have seen in this paper, Japanese classical education in Korea is in a serious crisis. Recognizing this reality, the professors of the Japanese classical literature major diagnosed that one of the main reasons was the existing teaching method used in the classical literature class. Therefore, we tried to overcome the crisis of Japanese classical literature education by introducing new teaching methods such as flipped learning, video, animation, etc. to classical literature education. It is true that such hard work has paid off. However, it is also true that the reality of Japanese classical literature education is becoming more difficult. In order to improve the reality of Japanese classical literature education even a little, this paper pointed out that ‘Why should we learn Japanese classical literature’, that is, the significance of Japanese classical literature education, is important. In other words, he said that it is important to share the significance of Japanese classical literature education between professors and students. And the relevance to Korea, which had been overlooked in the significance of Japanese classical literature education, was paid attention to. I think this paper is meaningful in that it re􋹲examined the significance of Japanese classical education to overcome the crisis of Japanese classical education, and raised the need to teach and learn Japanese classical literature in relation to Korea, which previous studies had not yet mentioned.

산업안전보건교육의 대상별 전략과 그 시사점 - 미국과 비교법적 검토를 중심으로 -

The occupational safety and health education in Korea is for gene ral employees, business owners, and labor inspectors, but it is not s ystematic and is conducted sporadically. In particular, the criticism t hat the legal basis for occupational safety and health education for teenagers is not clear and the institution in charge and programs ar e not systematic has been raised. Recently, the Korean Employment and Labor Education Institute announced that it will provide the gen eral labor human rights education for middle and high school stude nts and adolescents nationwide under Article 3 of the Korea Employ ment and Labor Education Act, but the need for occupational safety and health education is raised. As the deaths from industrial accide nts continue to occur today, the occupational safety and health edu cation has become a more important task to prevent industrial acci dents and create a healthy and safe working environment. In particu lar, teenagers need to have basic knowledge, skills, and abilities for the safety and health of the workplace and productive efficiency before starting or doing work for the first time. Unlike Korea, the Unit ed States separates the subjects of occupational safety and health ed ucation, regulates the legal basis differently for each subject, and dif ferentiates the institutions in charge, educational content, and educa tional level. Therefore, this paper would like to find out the implications that can be derived from the legal and policy system of occupational saf ety and health education in the United States. First, the public secto r on the occupational safety education is providing the education to employees and others as an exemplary employer role and strengthen ing the education. Second, the United States is establishing the cons istency of the legal system on occupational safety and health educat ion. It can be seen that the consistency of the legal system is establ ished by preparing the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Cod e of Federal Regulations, and the Training Guidelines related to Occ upational safety and health education. Third, the United States provi des the education by separating the laws and targets that are the ba sis for occupational safety and health education. Fourth, the United States has formed and operated a consortium related to occupationa l safety and health education. Based on these implications, this pap er shall establish or designate an institution in charge based on the Framework Act on Youth to secure expertise for each education lev el, describe in detail the necessary education and training and stand ards for each industry, and change the education system so that rel ated subjects can be completed at a workplace or a training center.
