Abstract

This study aims to explore the direction and tasks of Christian unification education as peace education. To this end, after examining the historical trend of peace education and unification education in Korea, the tasks of peaceful unification education are reviewed. Peace education has expanded with the activation of peace movements and educational discourse starting from civil society, while unification education has been planned in accordance with the government's unification and North Korea policy and is moving toward the field of education practice. However, due to the nature of unification education that aspires for peace, the combination of the two fields has continued steadily, and research on peace unification education has been continuously conducted. The direction and tasks of Christian unification education as peace education were proposed based on the tasks of peace unification education derived through prior research analysis and the trend of the times in the two areas to carry out the research purpose. For the sustainability of peace on the Korean Peninsula, Christian unification education as a peace education should aim to foster peaceful citizens who take the lead in transitioning from a culture of violence to a culture of peace. To this end, first, it is necessary to seek the direction of Christian education for the dissolution of the antagonist image. Second, activities that guarantee learners' subjectivity and autonomy should be carried out away from the top-down method in teaching and learning. Third, a curriculum connected to daily life should be formed.

연구 목적 : 이 연구는 한국에서의 평화교육과 통일교육의 역사적 흐름을 살펴보고 평화통일교육의 과제를 검토한 후 평화교육으로서의 기독교통일교육의 방향과 과제를 탐구해 보는데 목적이 있다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 평화교육은 시민사회로부터 출발한 평화운동 및 교육적 담론이 활성화되며 영역이 확장된 반면, 통일교육은 정부의 통일 및 대북 정책에 따라 계획이 세워져 교육 실천 현장으로 나아가는 모습을 보인다. 그러나 평화를 염원하는 통일교육의 특성상 두 분야의 접목은 꾸준히 이어져 왔고, 이에 당면한 평화통일교육의 연구도 지속적으로 수행되었다. 연구 목적을 수행하기 위해 두 영역의 시대적 흐름을 검토하고, 선행연구 분석을 통해 도출된 평화통일교육의 과제를 기반으로 평화교육으로서의 기독교통일교육의 방향과 과제를 제안하였다. 결론 및 제언 : 평화교육으로서의 기독교통일교육은 한반도 평화와 안녕의 지속가능성을 위해 전쟁과 폭력의 문화에서 평화의 문화로 전환하는데 앞장서는 평화시민 양성을 교육 목표로 삼아야 한다. 이를 위해 첫째, 적대자상의 해체를 위한 기독교교육의 방향성을 모색해야 한다. 둘째, 교수·학습에 있어 톱다운 방식(top-down)에서 벗어나 학습자의 주체성과 자율성을 보장하는 활동이 이루어져야 한다. 셋째, 일상과 연결되는 실천 과정이 구성되어야 한다. 결론적으로 평화교육으로서의 기독교통일교육은 통일이라는 국가적 과업에 목표를 두기 보다는 다양한 구성원들이 공존할 한반도 내의 평화시민의식을 고양시키는 것이 한반도 평화의 문화 조성에 전진하는 길임을 잊지말아야 한다.
