Preconditions for designing a 6-year education system1) Teacher
as a practical researcher 2) Requirements for Professionalism in
Teacher 3) Openness and Comprehensiveness of the Teacher Education
System
-
1) Teacher as a practical researcherteacher as a practical
researcher
- To have intelligence and ethics, rather than a simple
messenger of knowledge, and - To strengthen their field experience
in order to adapt to the changes in society, add overseas training,
and - To strengthen their professional ability by having them
complete curriculum-pedagogies courses, - To display openness,
comprehensiveness, plurality and specialization, according to the
development stages of each society Korean colleges of educations,
within the boundary of universities, have achieved, to a certain
degree, openness and comprehensiveness. However
-Teacher training programs have been easily influenced by
outside pressure, resulting in failing to systematically promote
teacher specialization and professionalization.
-
2) Requirements for ProfessionalismQualitative excellence is
generally connected to internal conditions of professional
authority of teachers.
Internal conditions, whether innate or learned, are
-abilities and qualities that are inherent to the teacher as an
individual. -the state where excellence in curriculum knowledge,
specialty of pedagogies and a mature personality are
integrated.
The main purpose is to expertly teach his/her subjects which
requires sufficient knowledge in terms of research and the
application of excellent pedagogy.
-
3) Openness and Comprehensiveness of Teacher Education SystemAn
open position must be
- adopted on the grounds of recruiting talented people and
securing the flexibility of teacher training, based on a purposive
system for teacher education.
An open-comprehensive 6-year model, which has openness in
admitting students with the basis of purposive 6-year system of
college of education, would be reasonable, considering the lack of
teacher ethics, the teacher's role as a practical researcher.
-
Characteristics of the 6-year-Teacher Education System 1)
Integration: -Training education leaders with intelligence and
morality-including general ability, curricular ability,
personality, and sense of values and ethics
2) OpennessThe idea of openness is to 'avoid limiting system
management to internal structures, and to implement with
flexibility in relation to society and neighboring systems.'
-
In sumThe 6-year curriculum model must meet the following
requirements. The subject of education and research area should be
expanded to include leaders and researchers of school and social
education, centering around the current middle school teacher
training system.
This may be done by allowing excellent talent from other
colleges and universities to transfer to colleges of education, and
by providing an infrastructure that could train competent teachers
from a variety of backgrounds.
Double majors or minors should be made obligatory in order to
meet the various demands of teachers.
Foreign language will be intensively taught to students of
college of education for qualification of globalized and
multi-cultural society.
A practical knowledge of education and ethics may be developed
through taking liberal arts and general studies.
