Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop the psychology-based naturalistic competency curriculum so that forest-related experts could fully play the role of a mediator between nature(forest) and human(visitors). The curriculum was designed in three parts: a pleasant life, a wise life, and a meaningful life. Contents were focused on recognizing and naming one's senses and emotions in nature, discovering nature-related memories and Naturalistic Intelligence, experiencing the flow in nature and activating the Default Mode Network. The curriculum supplemented by expert's advice was implemented as job training for forest-related experts, and the curriculum was finally revised by examining the understanding and utilization of the participants. As a result, the curriculum in three areas of emotion, cognition, and practice was completed. It is expected that this curriculum will be upgraded through evaluation in the future so that forest-related experts can provide more qualitative service by strengthening their naturalistic competency.

본 연구에서는 산림교육전문가들이 자연(숲)과 사람(방문객)을 매개하는 연결자 역할을 충분히 발휘할 수 있게 하기 위한 심리학 기반 자연탐구역량 교육과정을 개발하고자 하였다. 자연에서 자신의 감각과 정서를 자각하고 명명하며 자연 관련 기억과 자연탐구지능을 발굴하여 자연에서 몰입하고 디폴트 모드 네트워크를 활성화하는 내용을 중심으로 즐거운 생활, 슬기로운 생활, 의미있는 생활의 3개로 구성된 교육과정을 고안하였다. 전문가 자문을 통해 보완한 교육과정에 따라 구성한 교육을 산림교육전문가의 직무교육으로 시행하고 참가자를 대상으로 이해도와 활용 가능성 등을 조사하여 수정하였다. 최종적으로 자연탐구역량을 정서, 인지, 실천의 3개 영역의 심리학적 개념으로 구성한 교육과정을 완성하였다. 향후 지속적 평가를 통해 본 교육과정을 발전시켜 산림교육전문가들이 자연탐구역량을 강화하여 향상된 산림교육서비스를 제공할 수 있기를 기대한다.
