남북한 원격교육 협력방안에 관한 연구: 성인대상 교육을 중심으로

Abstract

The development of the Internet has changed the paradigm of education, especially distance education is rapidly spreading around the world. Distance education has features that are not restricted by time and space beyond existing face-to-face education methods. Recognizing the importance of distance education in North Korea, there are now more than 100,000 students. The two Koreas have been undergoing conflicts of system and ideology for a long time. At present, cooperation in distance education in inter-Korean relations is the most likely basic cooperation method for the unification of education. Since 2010, North Korea has been conducting distance education in earnest, and Kim Chaek University of Technology and Kim Il Sung University are the main producers of contents. Cooperation for distance education between the two Koreas needs to be divided into the 4 stages such as preparatory, take-off, maturity, and the unification of education. In this paper, we also examined the constraints on educational cooperation between the two Koreas. In spite of these constraints, we propose a plan for distance education as a preparatory stage for the unification of education between the two Koreas, starting from these possible areas.
