지속가능발전교육의 국제적 추진 전략 특성 분석: 우수 국가 사례를 중심으로

초록

United Nations designated 2005~2014 as the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development to monitor the implementation conditions across member states. Recognizing the problems associated with unsatisfactory implementation of ESD in Korea, this study seeks to analyse country cases whose strategies turned out to be successful. As an attempt to guide the comparative analysis more objectively, a framework was built focusing on five areas suggested by United Nations. They include vision and strategies, organization structure, connection with national education policies, education of teachers and administrators, research & development along with quality assurance. For each area, one or two countries were selected for detailed analysis of situations and characteristics. The study found that the vision and concept of ESD in Korea has not been clearly set at the national level, which in turn caused a problem of separation of ESD from education policy and curriculum. On the other hand, successful country cases showed that the central government proclaimed clear vision in a form of national policy document along with national level powerful organizations responsible for ESD policy coordination. Based on analyses, several implication were drawn for future improvement of ESD in Korea.
