인권교육과 민주시민교육의 관계 및 조화 방안 고찰

Abstract

This research was intended to propose ways of harmonizing human rights education and democratic civic education by considering the concept and background of development of human rights education and civic education. Based on this, this study proposed ways to harmonize the relationship between human rights education and democratic civic education through the redefinition of their relations. Human rights education and democratic civic education are common in the direction of fostering community citizenship, but human rights education is more value-oriented than democratic civil education. In terms of competence, human rights education focuses on fostering human rights and democratic citizenship. In terms of content, human rights education forms a key part of democratic civil education. In order for human rights education and democratic civil education to develop harmoniously, the following matters are needed. First, the relationship between human rights education and democratic civil education is needed to be re-established. Democratic civic education should ban party affiliation and respect plurality, but not be blind. And it should set the limits of democratic values and respect for human rights. Since human rights education is a key part of democratic civic education, it can serve as an indicator for setting the direction and limits of democratic civic education. Second, human rights education needs to be strengthened at the same time by revitalizing democratic civic education. Students can improve their human rights sensitivity while cultivating their citizenship. Human rights education and democratic civil education, as citizens, should aim to foster citizenship by fostering the human rights and improving the human rights quality Third, it is desirable for the government to lay the foundation of education, create an educational environment and provide financial support to the extent that it does not undermine the essence of education, but leave the actual operation of education to schools and civil society. Fourth, human rights education and democratic civil education in schools should be done through a complementary approach in practice. In school education, human rights education needs to be done through the creation of a democratic school culture in everyday life, including life guidance courses, as well as through the democratic participation of students.
