소규모학교 통폐합 영향평가를 위한 합리적 모델 개발 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the actual conditions and characteristics of small school merger and abolition and to develop and provide the rational models for verifying the validity and effectiveness of small school merger and abolition policy. For this, we analyzed the evidence presented as the logic of small school merger and abolition in three aspects. First, we looked at the financial aspect of education. Second, we verified the logic that the academic achievement of small school students is behind. Third, we confirmed the logic that small school students could be alienated in terms of cultural enjoyment. As a result of the analysis, financial aspect of education should be considered that small school merger and abolition may be effective in the short term, but in the long term, rehabilitation and revitalization of village community can be considered. Second, in aspect of academic achievement, the study that small schools have a positive effect on students' academic ability suggests that school size does not guarantee efficient operation of the curriculum. Third, it may make sense to share culture as a product of urbanization in terms of culture, but if we understand that culture is the essence of life that enhances the internal value of human beings, it is worth considering that there are cultural enjoyments enjoyed only by small school students. Based on these analyses, we emphasize the need to develop rational models for assessing the impact of small school merger and abolition, and to develop and apply community-based evaluation elements. Based on this, four models for the impact assessment of small school merger and abolition were developed. Those are the model of strengthening small school merger and abolitions(insurance of transparency of implementation), Second, the model of auditing small school merger and abolition procedure(strengthening of autonomy of office of education), the model of making effect of small school merger and abolition(strengthening of verification of effect), and the model of making an expert council(permanent organization for merger and abolition).
