교육대학교 교양교육과정 현황 및 특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

In this study, we have selected six regional educational universities, looked at their organization and operation of the liberal arts curriculum, and analyzed their characteristics. The targets of the analysis include: a) the current status of the liberal education curriculum required by the school affairs management regulations, b) the curriculum organization, and sub-areas shown in the curriculum organization. Based on these, we extracted the characteristics of the curriculum from each organization and analyzed the featured subjects of each university's liberal education curriculum. As a result, it turns out that liberal education curriculums show some characteristics that are very common in major courses. Then, we were able to confirm the degeneration direction of the liberal education curriculum and the peculiarities of the locally featured curriculum. First, the organization and management of the liberal education curriculum were decomposed into two directions: strengthening choices and refreshing academic basics. Enriched choice can be seen as learner-centric in terms of expanding student subject choices. In particular, B university shows an overwhelmingly high proportion of selective units, at about 74%, and established the largest number of subjects. Besides, the remaining basic is positive in the collaborative dimension of major subjects. The second is the result of the regional feature course. As universities of education are located by region, understanding the educational need of each locality is essential. However, there are only two universities that have curriculums dealing with local flavored educational programs: B and D.
