Creative experience activity is another educational process to draw physical and emotional aspects, cooperative mind and creativity for the future global talent cultivation beyond existing education by rote and grinding focusing on teacher. But creative experience activity started from First grade of 2011 seems to lack enough understanding, sympathy, previous preparation, development of program, expert personnel etc.
Especially, lack of recognition about each domain by students led to difficulty in carrying out spontaneousness, autonomy, diversification and characterization which goal and educational process of experience activity pursue in motive or reason for participation and effect of education.
The purpose of this study is to prepare foundation for alternative to find and solve these difficulties in the educational field(school).
To do this, focusing on high school teachers and students in two schools in different kind, located in Seoul, questionnaire sheet centered on following study issues was distributed and collected. For statistical analysis, SPSS WIN 17.0 was used. Cronbach's alpha. Besides, to know general characteristics, frequency and percentage were calculated. For difference test, Independence test through Cross Tabulation was made. For test of importance difference through average comparison, T-test was conducted. The study results are as follows.
First, for understanding about organization and operation of Creative experience activity, teachers and students all understood aim and purpose best. While teachers and students all could not understand assessment measures well. For understanding about organization and operation of Creative experience activity, head teacher than head teacher understood better than homeroom teacher or non-homeroom teacher.
Second, for operation measures of Creative experience activity, high school students thought that education guide and PR had most critical problem while teachers thought that educational conditions like facility, equipment etc. had most critical problem. But teachers and students all thought that there was no problem in safety management for students during experience activity.
Third, for recognition difference between students and teachers about problems each domain for Creative Experience Activity, students and teachers all thought that educational expected effects in four domains(autonomous activity, club activity, volunteering service activity, career activity) would be helpful in cultivation of autonomous life attitude, development of temperament and potential, social cultivation, career exploration and design.
But, for problems in conducting Creative Experience Activity, there were differences in opinions between students and teachers according to each domain. In the question about degree of reflecting students' request, teachers and students all answered that club activity was reflected best.
Fourth, about efforts to be done for future operational direction and improvement of problem of school and adolescents' organization for new educational paradigm connected to Creative Experience Activity, it appeared that students' opinions were not reflected well besides club activity in Creative experience activity. And most of activity was carried out in the classroom, so it was thought that varied programs, places and facilities were not arranged well. Teachers thought that class focused on systematic and varied experiences, connected to external organization regularly is desirable. Especially, some suggested that it would be necessary to expand securing place for utilizing Saturday off at the government level.
Accordingly, based on main results of this study, to meet request and necessity of students, it would be necessary for school to examine what professional organization exists in neighboring areas and then, to do efforts to lure educational environment and expert personnel outside school to inside school. And 'organizations outside school' also should help adolescents to find their various temperaments, aptitude, career etc. inside and outside school through enough guide and PR about program and expert personnel.
The ultimate purpose of Creative experience activity is to form good human relationship for adolescents by letting adolescents use their various desires in sound way, and to be committed to self-realization by selecting future direction themselves.
Therefore, Creative experience activity should play the role as non-formal education so that students and teachers can jointly cooperate, or students can establish activity plan, share roles and implement it on their own. It is thought that such non-formal education should be settled as future new educational paradigm along with regular education course.
To do this, school needs to have good communication with adolescent related organizations outside school under the recognition that school should go together with the organizations in cooperative manner.
