공교육정상화법 시행 이후 교육청의 선행교육 점검 실태 분석 및 개선 방향 논의

Abstract

In 2014, the government enacted the ‘School Learning Enhancement and Prior Learning Prevention Law’ (henceforth ‘School Learning Enhancement Law’) to restrict prior learning and testing at public schools. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of monitoring for prior learning at schools based on the School Learning Enhancement Law and discuss relevant problems in applying this policy. To examine how the law has been implemented by the 17 municipal/provincial offices of education, documents reporting the plans and results for monitoring prior learning between the years of 2014 and 2016 were collected and analyzed. In addition, interviews were conducted with school inspectors and teachers at elementary, middle, and high schools to identify the difficulties in implementing this law at schools. The results showed that conflicts between the law and other educational policies, a lack of clear descriptions of inspection standards, and a lack of concrete examples of curriculum organization/management and assessment that schools can follow were raised as obstacles to enforcement of the law.
