Abstract

영문초록 포함|The purpose of this study was to investigate the present state of the open-education and seek for its improvement measures at elementary school. For the purpose, a positive study was conducted using questionnaire survey. The findings were acquired from this study as follows; First, the open education could be said as teachers' autogenous movement toward educational reform. But some negative aspects were seen due to their own lacks of firm awareness and experience for the open-education. The educational improvement measures was required to prepare an education system for teachers, after the program for open-education must be systematically developed. Second, the current open education attracted much interest and favorable response from children and their parents, owing to the ways of opening classroom or applying many kinds of diverse learning approaches. However, if it was no more than imitating teaching approach of advanced schools, there would be another uniformity in open education, too. Therefore, teachers' own will would be critical to develop and apply new approach, by themselves, based upon an open minded respect for children. Third, the obstacles to open education were founded as class's over size, lack of educational facilities and learning materials and teacher's heavy duties, To appropriately apply it to our educational situation, Korean-typed open education shall be designed, with financial aid needed. Fourth, teacher's instruction burden and class size must be decreased to do a good open education at elementary school. The open education would be difficult to be fruitful if teacher had not enough time to prepare materials and study for instruction and class size was too big. As a solution to this problem, it could be recommended to extend the exclusive charge system that now was conducted in art and physical training course, which might contribute to the realizations of elementary education's specialty and open education. Fifth, the general educational conditions were the basic tasks to be improved toward the performance of open education, including over-sized class, the poor educational finance, class space, and the awareness of administrator, teacher and parents, But these things could not be the sufficient conditions for open education. The educational tendency of the advanced countries put an emphasis on diversely enhancing the personality of children and improving educational quality through autonomous learning, and our nation's educational policy shall also focus on those points.
