With the constant change of a social structure and a labor market, teenagers should grasp precise information and plan their future job through the career education tailored to modern society. In this study, you can see expanded career search activities and career education programs that are connected with art education. Through this programs, we can cultivate a creative-minded talented person who are suitable for modern society.
Through the art education curriculum which deals with ‘experience’, ‘expression’, ‘appreciation’ and the career education curriculum which includes ‘understanding oneself and developing social capacity’, ‘understanding jobs and the job world’, ‘exploring career’, and ‘designing and preparing for one’s career’, we explore variety of job categories in advance. Based on this, the art education is conducted and it focuses on connecting other general subjects and career education.
For the study mentioned above, chapter 1 presents the purpose and necessity of the study. In chapter 2, the concept of career education, the importance of career education and the evidence on its educational value are presented so that we can examine the tendency of the study.
In chapter 3, we examined through the objectives and contents of ‘2015 Revised Middle School Art Curriculum’ and ‘the curriculum of a job and career education’, analyzed the connection of a career education within the curriculum of an art education. In addition, we analyzed career activities that are included in Middle School free semester and the experience-based creative activities. Based on the result of the analysis, as the career education is dealt importantly in general subjects and free semester system, constant study is required.
In chapter 4, career activities and learning contents within the textbook of ‘2015 Revised Middle School Art Curriculum’ are analyzed. Most of the activities were limited to simple expressions and experience-based area. ‘Understanding oneself and developing social capacity’, ‘understanding jobs and the job world’, and ‘exploring career’ contents are well organized in career and job curriculum, but ‘designing and preparing career’ area was left much to be desired. In order to compensate this, chapter 5 deals with the program that includes ‘experience’, ‘expression’, ‘appreciation’ area of ‘2015 Revised Middle School Art Curriculum’, which are connected with ‘exploring art related job world’ and ‘producing video UCC utilizing famous art works and jobs’. The educational effect is drawn through the program developed with six classes all together for the mixed education Middle School students in Sacheon city area.
This study focuses on job exploring activities and the experience-based program to help students choose specific future jobs. Also, the study put an importance on motivating students interests and changing their awareness on career education through the introduced program.
Due to 2015 revised education curriculum, career education puts an emphasis on activity-focused classes. Therefore, connecting an art education and a career education is useful for enhancing these activities. In addition, the connected program can operated not merely within an art subject but merging with other subjects. In order to provide variety of career education to students, the constant study on the program is needed.
