Abstract

This study conducted the international evaluation of the APEC educational cooperation projects initiated by the Korean government and drew out strategies and tasks for their sustainable implementation. To this end, eight projects implemented by the Institute of APEC Collaborative Education were selected for the evaluation which examined participants' awareness of and the degree of participation in the eight projects as well as contribution to the intended outcomes of the projects. An online survey was conducted to participants of the eight projects and 283 experts and participants from 18 economies responded. The descriptive analysis found that the participants of ALCoB Cooperation Project reported the most positive perception of the awareness while the participants of the ALCoB Internet Volunteers showed the lowest degree of participation in and contribution to the intended outcomes of the project. Based on the results, several suggestions for further progress in Korea's APEC educational cooperation were made.

본 연구의 목적은 한국 정부가 추진해온 APEC 교육협력사업에 대한 참여자들의 국제적 평가를 살펴보고, 향후 동 사업의 발전을 지속적으로 견인하기 위한 전략과 과제를 도출하는데 있다. 이를 위해 APEC 학생 교류 프로그램, 알콥 협력 프로젝트, 알콥 스쿨 네트워크, 국제 알콥 컨퍼런스, 국제교육협력봉사단 파견, 이러닝 연수 프로그램, 미래교육 포럼, 알콥 워크숍의 8개 사업들을 중점적인 평가 대상 사업으로 설정하고, 이를 위해 온라인 조사를 통해 각 사업별 참여자들의 사업들에 대한 인지도, 참여도 및 공헌도에 대한 인식 조사를 실시하였다. 총 18개국의 283명의 전문가들과 사업 참여 유경험자들의 응답을 얻어 조사 결과를 분석한 결과, 인지도 측면에서는 알콥 협력 프로젝트가, 참여도와 공헌도 측면에서는 국제협력봉사단파견이 가장 양호한 평가를 얻었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 APEC 교육협력사업의 실행을 위한 향후 전략 및 과제를 위한 몇 가지 제언을 하였다.
