선택 과목의 이수 기회를 확대하기 위한 사이버 교육의 활용 방안 탐색

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop implementation plans of cyber education for the enlargement of secondary school students' opportunity to choose elective subjects. Elective subjects of secondary schools in the 7th national curriculum take more important status than that in the 6th national curriculum. Under the new curriculum, however, the middle and high schools don't offer a variety of subjects and students cannot choose the subjects they wish to learn. In the situation, cyber education can play an important role in enlarging students' opportunity to learn the subjects wished by less than 20 students. First, this study analyzed the cases of cyber education partially implemented in secondary schools. Second, this research conducted a national survey to ascertain whether students and/or teachers like or dislike the implementation of cyber education. Third, this article proposed implementation plans of cyber education for the enlargement of students' opportunity to choose elective subjects. The suggested plans are divided into four categories according to the degree of freedom of time and place. Among four policies, two, distance video education system and limited selfdirected learning system are recommended for secondary schools under the 7th national curriculum. In this study, researchers conclude the article with suggesting that three kinds of researches be conducted in order to implement cyber education more efficiently and effectively. They are as follows: To educate teachers to be ready for the implementation of cyber education, to revise current education laws related to cyber education in the grade schools, and to standardize educational contents for cyber education.
