In today’s education field, we require education that can make the students overcome the difficulties that they face and develop their characters to lead them to pursue their goals persistently. For this, we need an education system that can maximize the potentials of individuals. This is based on the awareness of the issue for proper method of developing outstanding individual, which should be discussed not only in the field of education but also in many different parts of the society.
This research which is based on the awareness of the issue that an educational plan to develop individual’s characters and maximize one’s potential is necessary, has its objective to build a foundation to strengthen the learners’ understanding to learning and controlling themselves for the goals that they have set.
For this, we’ve evaluated the possibility of positive relationship of GRIT, which is the strength to maximize the potential of individual, and the progress of improvement in achievement to suggest a 15-week learning model that can be applied in education field by constructing an education program of acting using GRIT.
To verify whether GRIT acting program affects positively on improving learners capability to achieve their goals, we carried out a program with 18 acting major students who voluntarily participated to be divided in two groups in S Academy of Fine Arts located in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.
This program was carried out with a method of acting education system which is based on GRIT theory and method of original acting education system in two different groups and organized a qualitative research evaluation method by requesting the result of these two education system in review and self-answering interview.
Also, before the program started, we’ve checked that there isn’t any big difference in the state of the participants’ emotion and the environment that can influence in the result of the learners through prior self-worth evaluation and evaluation for core emotion.
As a result of the post review and self-answering interview evaluation, we could predict the possibility of the positive effects of GRIT acting education system in developing the capability of achieving the learners’ goal by observing the participants of the GRIT acting education system who showed their will to control themselves and had greater achievement compared to the group which used the method of original acting education system.
This research and be meaningful in terms of suggesting GRIT, which can help the individual to maximize the potential and develop their liberal arts refinement, as an educational program to achieve a long-term goal.
Moreover, it has reorganized the existing method of educational theater to a program of acting education that can influence in developing the capability to achieve learners’ goals, and it can be significant as it has been organized in a class model that can show its effectiveness according to the Education Ministry’s curriculum reform so that it can be applied in the learning field.
But the result of the research lacks in its reliability due to the limitation of specialized class environment in the Academy of Fine Arts, limited number of verification, limitation of strictness to prior and post evaluation. Through a follow-up research, we expect to provide the learners to improve their capability to achieve their goals by complementing these limitations.
