Abstract

This study aims to examine the cases of overseas experience programs centered around middle school students in South Korea and to derive implications for future overseas experience programs. To achieve this, data were systematically collected through search engines based on keywords, followed by comparative analysis. Frequency analysis, independent sample t-tests, and cross-analysis were conducted using SPSS 23. The research findings are as follows: First, the programs are operated nationwide, with a focus on smaller schools in various regions, and are particularly active in the Jeolla provinces. Diverse public funding, such as from the board of education and local governments, has been invested, categorizing operational costs into full financial coverage among others. The programs primarily took place in Southeast Asian countries close to South Korea. Second, the purposes of these middle school overseas experience programs largely encompass career exploration, cultural experiences, tourism, and sister school visits. We hope that school-based overseas career exploration programs are actively operated to provide opportunities for enhancing global competence and global citizenship, as well as exploring career paths.

본 연구는 국내 중학교 학생을 중심으로 진행한 해외 체험 프로그램 사례를 조사하여 향후 해외 체험 프로그램 운영에 대한 시사점을 도출하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 검색 엔진을 통하여 키워드 중심으로 자료를 체계적으로 수집 및 비교·분석한 후 SPSS 23을 활용하여 빈도 분석, 독립표본 t 검정과 교차 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 지역의 작은 학교 중심으로 해외 체험 프로그램을 운영하고 있었으며, 특히 전라남북도에서 활발하게 운영하고 있었다. 또한 교육청, 지자체 등 다양한 공적 자금이 투입되어 전액 부담 등 다양한 방법으로 우리나라와 가까운 동남아시아 국가 중심으로 실시되고 있었다. 둘째, 중학교 해외 체험 프로그램의 목적은 크게 진로 체험, 문화 체험, 관광, 자매 학교 방문으로 나타났다. 해외 체험 프로그램은 학생들에게 글로벌 역량과 세계 시민성을 함양하고, 진로 탐색의 기회를 제공하는 중요한 활동이다. 본 연구는 이러한 해외 체험 프로그램 운영을 위한 기초 연구로서 역할을 하며, 향후 공교육에서의 해외 체험 활동이 적극적으로 추진되기를 기대한다.
