Abstract

This paper is to study the characteristics of outdoor wilderness education and the impacts of outdoor wilderness experience on the participants in higher education. The first part of this paper addresses the common components of outdoor wilderness programs: adventure or self-discovery in disequilibrium, small groups for accountability in a temporary community, problem solving processes for decision making in real situations, solo time for integration in solitude, and leadership styles and role of the trip leaders. These elements of outdoor wilderness programs help the participants to achieve their goals according to its mission. The second part of this paper divides outdoor wilderness programs into three categories according to the objectives and outcomes of outdoor wilderness education: orientation programs for incoming students, personal leadership development programs, and professional training programs. The impacts of outdoor wilderness experiences on the participants of different programs in higher education were reviewed. Then guidelines for spiritual formation prorgams were proposed for Christian educators who are involved in wilderness programs in higher education to develop their practical wilderness experiences into holistic development programs according to its mission and goals.

본 논문은 야외광야교육의 특성과 야외광야체험이 고등교육 참여자에게 미치는 영향을 연구하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 첫 번째 부분에서는 야외광야 프로그램을 구성하고 있는 핵심적인 공통 요소를 다룬다. 예를 들어 불균형 상태의 모험 또는 자기 발견, 임시공동체의 책임을 위한 소그룹 역동, 실제 상황에서 효과적인 의사결정을 내리기 위한 문제 해결 프로세스, 고독에서의 통합을 위한 솔로 시간, 지도력 스타일과 트립 지도자의 역할 등이다. 이러한 야외광야 프로그램의 다섯 가지 공통적 요소들은 참가자들이 프로그램의 성격에 따라 각자의 목표를 달성하는 데 도움이 되는 교육적 메커니즘으로 작용하고 있음을 소개한다. 그다음으로 두번째 부분에서는 야외광야교육이 각각의 목적에 따라 세 가지 범주로 활용되고 있음을 소개한다. 예를 들어 신입생 오리엔테이션 프로그램, 개인 리더십 개발 프로그램, 그리고 전문 교육 프로그램이다. 그리고 고등교육에서 활용되고 있는 각각의 프로그램들을 통해 참여자들이 누리고 있는 교육적 효과에 대해 소개한다. 그리고 결론에서 기독교 교육자들이 실제 광야 경험을 활용하여 자신들이 추구하는 사명과 목표에 따라 전인적인 성장을 위한 개발 프로그램으로 구상하는데 필요한 영적 형성 프로그램에 대한 지침을 제안하였다.
