청소년학 전공자의 학교관련 역할과 교육과정 = Youth Studies Curriculum and the Graduates’ Role Relating to Schools

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Although youth policies greet a new chance with the late consolidation of youth laws, still the graduates of youth studies programs view dim future in the society and so is the identity of the discipline. This article claims going into the schools as the most realistic way to resolve such difficulties. This is not only because to restore youth policies to schools is the shortcut to rectify the distorted practices, considering the abnormalities of Korean youth policies both from the viewpoints of history and comparison, but also because eco-systems approach of school social work via networking of human and material resources in the community is the only alternative to the lack of welfare services Korean youth undergo. To explain the substance of the strategy that youth studies graduates should go into schools, this article mobilizes some international comparisons of the curriculums and the qualitative data of the needs of incumbent youth specialists. The comparisons reveal why youth studies must pursue the identity as a welfare discipline, and the voices from the field argue why they must go into the schools to be the centers of the community network.
