소외 지역 학생들을 위해 활동하는 교육 NGO 단체의 사례 비교 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the direction for the successful growth of educational NGOs by comparing and analyzing the activities that help students’ emotions and learning in underprivileged areas. In particular, by looking at the organizational motives, practices and achievements and limitations of the two NGOs, it was intended to obtain useful implications for making the public education network and school support system practical. For this purpose, A NGO and J NGO, which has been operating related activities for more than 10 years in Korea, were selected to compare and analyze their vision and goals, business characteristics, success factors, difficulties and implications. The two groups has been promoting mentoring projects for the purpose of eliminating educational inequality, but there were differences in the basic models of strategy and business. Group A emphasized self-esteem or career education rather than cognitive learning, while group J emphasized cognitive learning. Group A has been promoting the project with small schools and group J has been focusing on local children's center. Group A and group J are also different in the structure of generating profits. Meantime there are significant similarities between the two as follows. They have been expanding mentoring business overseas. They have been working on a project for college students who voluntarily participate in their mentoring programs. They have sponsors supporting their projects. They are showing a virtuous circle of students who used to be mentees as children and thereafter become mentors or employees in the NGO. They have a profit structure with staff treatment being relatively good compared to other NGO groups. Their growth factors include relationship-oriented mentoring, high satisfaction of mentees, accumulation and sharing of performance and cases, leadership, and presence of guardian groups. The difficulties of their growth were economic problems, social reliability, tendency of talented people not to prefer NGOs, and closed attributes of schools. Based on the results of this study, implications and suggestions for education were derived.
