‘나눔’ 가치에 기반한 실천형 인성교육 사례 연구 - 이화여대 <나눔리더십> 교과목을 중심으로

Abstract

This study seeks to explore the fundamental purpose of tertiary liberal art education by analyzing actual cases of recent developments in personality education curriculum, which can develop a sense of citizenship as a member of the community and his or her value of ‘humanistic life.’ This research will look at the case of <Share Leadership> course at Ewha Womans University, in order to understand how the value of ‘share’ can fit into the educational purpose of personality education that teaches the joy of living together. To this end, the teaching method of the course will be studied in terms of what combinations of theories about share and practical activities are being delivered to the students. Thus, one seeks to redefine the concept of ‘share’ as the broader concepts of ‘exchange’ and ‘distribution,’ and to confirm how such expanded concept can be actualized by various practical activities organized and performed initiatively by the students. This study will demonstrate how one’s citizenship cannot be mutually exclusive to the value of humanistic virtues, and also that theory and practice cannot exist separately in personality education. Consequently, one seeks to discuss how personality education at universities must contain clear alternative social values that lie beyond the current reality, and also about the need for practical personality education methods that can combine theory-based classroom lectures with various practical settings.
