통일교육위원의 통일인식 분석을 통한 지역통일교육의 효율화 방안:충남, 대전･세종 통일교육위원을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper analyzed the views on unification, North Korea, and unification education through a survey of Chungnam, Daejeon, and Sejong unification education committee members who have been active as experts in unification education. Based on the results, it suggested measures for the effective promotion of regional unification education. As a result, first, the views on unification of the South and North by the Chungnam, Daejeon, and Sejong unification education committee members were very positive. It was found that unification of the South and North would be completed within 50 years, and the types were security unification and inter-Korean exchange and cooperation unification. Second, the views on North Korea by the Chungnam, Daejeon, and Sejong unification education center members were very negative in all areas except for the North Korean people, including the North Korean system, North Korean leadership, North Korean economy, North Korean human rights, and North Korea’s future. Third, the regional unification education views of the Chungnam, Daejeon, and Sejong unification education committee members were found to be primarily focused on North Korea and unification. They also believed that current unification education is inefficient. They also believed that the core content of unification education should be centered on understanding the real lives of North Korean residents and recognizing the need for unification. Therefore, when looking at the views on unification, North Korea, and unification education of the Chungnam, Daejeon, and Sejong Unification Education Committee members, it appears that experiential learning methods and discussion and Q&A methods should be used as a means of revitalizing regional unification education, and in particular, in order for regional unification education to be revitalized, the government must support unification-related programs and provide information and materials related to North Korea and unification.
