Forces Shaping Education in the Next Decade = 21세기 교육 방향의 결정요인에 관한 고찰

Title/Author: Forces Shaping Education in the Next Decade = 21세기 교육 방향의 결정요인에 관한 고찰 / Richard St. John

Abstracts/Etc: 요약Forces are currently at work that will have a clear impact on the direction that education takes in the next decade. The most obvious of these are: (1) the increased pace of globalized trade and the borderless nature of the movement of goods and services and transfer of investment funds. (2) the re-definition of the competencies required for being considered adequately "educated" to take one's place in the workplace of the future. Since it is not within the power of educators to change this globalization reality, the paper examines its impact on how we educate our young people to be active participants in this global economy. The bulk of the paper, however, will focus on the shift in emphasis that the new curriculum will take in the decade(s) ahead and also the innovative means emerging to deliver that curriculum.
