현대사회와 여가교육 = Modern Society and Leisure Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The concept of leisure has changed significantly along with social development based on the remarkable economic growth that was achieved during the past couple of decades. Leisure is an integral ingredient in modem quality of life. In this respect, it is important to understand the changing concept of leisure in order to understand how leisure affects our society and quality of life. This article will cover 3 topics: the changing of leisure concept, the relationship between leisure and work, and the direction and contents of leisure education.
Leisure can be as being either passive or positive. The passive of leisure is the more traditional of the two. One passively enjoys the leisure 'to be permitted' to abstain from labor that is necessary to create a livelihood. The positive concept of leisure is more modem and diversified. One proactively pursues 'self-directed' leisure to improve one's quality of life due to the increased amount of leisure time created through technological advances made in modem society.
Traditionally, leisure has been a concern secondary to productivity. In modem society, however, leisure is an essential ingredient that adds humanistic value to modem life. Leisure includes resting from labor, relieving stress from the complexities of life, and utilizing leisure time to develop one's self.
Scientific and industrial development has brought remarkable and material changes in our life and has created a demand for and variety of 'mass leisures'. However, we lack a concrete program to educate people to derive healthy leisure habits. An educational policy and an environmental setting that understands the relationship between the cultural system and quality of life are both necessary to create a healthy leisure society. It is important that leisure become a primary concern in the field of education and that we continue to study human behavior to achieve greater personal growth and development.
