한국의 정부주도형 교육체제의 비판과 새로운 지향점에 관한 철학적 논의

초록

I have two purposes in this paper. First, I want to present a critical review of the government-initiated education system in South Korea, which is otherwise called ‘authoritarian bureaucracy’ or ‘bureaucratic heteronomy,’ in terms of both its contributions and problems. Second, I intend to propose a future orientation for the Korean educational system through its philosophical discussions. The paper comprises four main parts. The first part deals with the historical background of the government-initiated educational system of Korea in comparison with the educational systems of the West. The second part is an analysis of the current education system; the focus lies upon the power and roles of both the central and local governments in Korea, and also upon the achievements and limitations of the current system. The third part is a critical review of the three alternatives suggested earlier: the market model, the business model, and the decentralization model. In the last part, I endeavor to search for a new orientation for the Korean educational system by offering some conditions of government intervention as well as justifying the autonomy in education through its philosophical analysis.
