Abstract

This study closely examines that the relationship among arts education, character education, and academic achievements. The role of culture and arts education forms the competences for young people for life in the 21st century. Previous research on the potential of culture and arts education show that culture and arts education enhance the creativity of young people, form their characters, and facilitate their achievements. The study contains detailed information on the provision of culture and arts education, its learning aims and outcomes, and cross-curricular links between arts and other subjects in school settings. There are learning aims identified as arts subjects in school settings, and there are also learning objectives in the overall curriculum that can be linked to culture and arts education. Therefore, it is truly important to develop a life-long interest in the arts, by participating extracurricular artistic activities and retain that interest throughout their lives. Although arts education has a relatively low status in the school curriculum in Korea, this study suggests that we need to find cross-curricular links between the arts and other areas in the curriculum. Each art subjects might be grouped together in an integrated area within the curriculum. Furthermore, culture and arts education in a school setting should build the partnerships between the schools, everyday lives, community and arts; expanding information and knowledge about arts education beyond the school boundaries, providing specialized art resources, supporting artist-in-school programmes. Also, at the level of policy-making as well as constructing curriculum, there should be cooperation between Korean Government departments, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
