창의적 체험활동 프로그램 운영의 장애요인에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine middle school teachers’ perceptions on the barriers to students’ creative activities. Four types of barriers were found from the analyses. The first type of barriers were closely related with the institutional area(entrance-exam focused education and/or merit-only education). The second type of barriers were related with the role of teachers(unilateral class operations). The third type of barriers were associated with students’ motivation(the lack of interests and participation on the part of students). The fourth type of barriers were related with the community integration(the absence of interconnected linkage between schools and communities). In order to resolve these barriers, educational policies have to be changed in the following directions. First, programs operating unilaterally and programs emphasizing the merits have to be renovated. For this change, what is important is to delegate more decision-making power to schools and teachers. Second, the more attractive programs which can satisfy students’ needs and motivate their voluntary participations have to be introduced. The high rate of student participation can do some desirable functions by motivating teachers to participate in the program. Third, programs which can hammer out close connections between schools and communities are to be implemented.
