고교학점제 도입과 학교의 변화

Abstract

This study attempted to explore change in high schools in the processing of introducing, accepting, implementing and improving of High School Credit System Policy, by analyzing the stories of the teachers in charge of high school credit system. The results are as follows. First of all, the school culture in high schools did not change much, and the reason was the college entrance exam. However, some teachers have begun to show signs of change. In other words, high schools were undergoing a period of transition due to the introduction of the high school credit system. Accepting the high school credit system, students became more interested in their career, teachers began to communicate a lot, and began to have a mind as a manager of the class. Students attending a high school implemented the credit system are having a new experience. The learners were respected in the course of choosing and taking classes in person. Teachers were also aware that students were more focused on the class than before because it was their own choice. It is also true, however, that students are restricted from choosing classes because they have to think about the CSAT. Second, the work that teachers have to take on in relation to the high school credit system has changed in quantity and quality. Moreover, the application program recommended by the Ministry of Education is inconvenient, so all teachers are using private programs. There are many urgent tasks such as improving the environment, facilities and system to settle the high school credit system. In addition, selfishness in the subject, solidity in the subject class, and hiring instructors were difficult points in the process of implementation. There were hidden efforts by the teachers to solve various difficulties in practice. Various ideas were discovered and a venue was proposed to share trial and error among teachers. Given the results of this study, it is urgent to nurture teachers who can take charge of multi-grades and multidisciplinary teaching, to clarify the criteria for hiring instructors, and to change the admission policy for local universities.
