다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The discussion of the extra-curricular activities as one of the curriculum framework can be approached in various ways. At a glance, we may find the problem of the research on extracurriculum. The research on extracurriculum can be expected to play a much larger role in the educational world in the future. The extracurriculum should not be addressed in a trivial way in educational research. Furthermore the approach to the extracurriculum should overcome the biased conception and research method. The purpose of this study is to search the possibility of qualitative approach in the extracurriculum research. There are many critics about the nature and trends of extracurriculum research. We have discussed the problem which lean to one-sided in the extracurriculum research. The problem we have founded are as follows; a approach poor in logic and consciousness, heavy bias to the management, lean to the simple frequency analysis and empirical study, and research findings irrelevant to field, and meager quantitative approach. Now the orientation of the extracurriculum research should be reconceptualized on the basis of meaning making, student life and school culture. These research bases are actively exemplified in the qualitative research. The qualitative research gives many method and information to the extracurriculum researcher. The notion of quantitative research on the extracurriculum have overwhelmed the practice of teacher thinking in the situation of curriculum development. So, the biased conception of the extracurriculum research often brings about many problems in the extracurriculum development and implementation. So we need to search the extracurriculum as thoughtful researcher on the basis of qualitative approach.
