시민교육을 위한 미래형 체험학습 방안 연구- 경기도 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

This study has a goal of suggesting the direction of the future-oriented field trips and their concrete alternatives which can contribute to citizenship education conforming to the recent social changes, for example, globalization, information-oriented society, post-modernism etc. For this goal, such methods were performed as literature review, survey on the realities of the field trips, professional conference, in-depth interview with teachers and students. According to these inquiries, the most popular field trip is picnic and the period of it is concentrated on some months. Teachers and students prefer a small scale field trip, but most schools operate it in large scale package. In spite of their feeling sympathy with the necessity of the field trip, it is usually executed formally and causes teachers' burden. Some alternatives for future-oriented field trips are suggested as follows: Field trips must be planned with constructivism and include the various opinions of the students and their parents. And the role of school members must be positive and the resources in the community have to be used extensively. And field trips must have close relationship with the subject matters and the ordinary life-world of students. And there must be evaluation system for field trips and training system for teachers, which are needed for managing quality of them. And field trips have to make good use of diverse themes and methods such as: to visit to schools and communities with useful programs, to associate some neighborhood schools at some holidays for jointed field trips, to intensify prior preparation and post complement by project study, to cooperate positively with the cyber field trip programs, to expand the opportunities of oversees excursions, to hold more field trip expositions and the like.
