창의적 체험활동 활성화를 촉진하는 학교 내외적 요인에 대한 사례연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate and determine which conditions best facilitate creative hands-on activities in schools. This will be done by analyzing a case study of the operation of a creative hands-on activity program in Cheongdam Middle School in Seoul. To successfully facilitate such hands-on activity programs, the resources of local communities should be actively connected and mobilized. However, this leads to increased workloads for teachers, and thus, necessitates the provision of effective measures that can secure the agreement of teachers. Such as the reduction of their workloads, and utilizing local resources are prime examples. Cheongdam Middle School has secured the agreement of its teachers by changing a series of educational systems. Such measures include the equal distribution of school tasks, the operation of subject-based classrooms, the appointment of all teachers as homeroom teachers, and the creation of operational manuals for homeroom teachers and creative hand-on activities. In doing so, it has enlivened creative hands-on activities. In addition, Cheongdam Middle School has enhanced the satisfaction of both students and parents by suggesting a model for creative and character-building educational programs, such as the provision of the opportunities for a variety of hands-on activities in connection with the resources in the local community. However, this does not mean that the issue of teachers' increased workloads has been entirely resolved. Moreover, the demands by students for various hands-on activities in local communities are on the increase. Therefore, the need for greater liaison between coordinative institutions or coordinators in local communities and schools is rising and is the most important condition to resolve such issues.
