Abstract

Due to COVID-19, much research has been conducted on learning loss and educational gaps due to the postponement of the start of school and prolonged online distance learning, and most of the research has focused on the phenomenon of educational gaps. If a pandemic situation like this occurs in the future, fundamental policies are needed to resolve the educational gap. A fundamental solution requires not only an understanding of the educational gap phenomenon, but also the structure behind the phenomenon. Therefore, from a structuralist perspective, this study sought to model the educational gap caused by COVID-19 as a prototype of systems thinking and identify its structure. In addition, we looked at the unintended consequences resulting from policies aimed at resolving existing educational gaps. In order to respond to similar disaster situations in the future, policies for resolving the digital gap, support for basic academic skills, quality improvement for distance learning, and self-directed learning were discussed based on the structure of this study.

코로나19로 인하여 개학연기부터 장기화된 온라인 원격수업으로 학습 손실과 교육격차에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되었으며, 대부분 교육격차 현상에 대한 연구가 주를 이루었다. 향후 이와 같은 팬데믹 상황이 온다면, 교육격차 해소를 위한 근본적인 정책이 필요하다. 근본적인 해결책은 교육격차 현상에 대한 이해뿐만 아니라 그 현상의 이면의 구조를 파악해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 구조주의 관점에서 코로나19로 인한 교육격차를 시스템사고의 원형으로 모델링하고 그 구조를 파악하고자 하였다. 그리고 기존의 교육격차 해소를 위한 정책들로 발생한 의도하지 않은 결과를 살펴보았다. 향후 유사한 재난상황에 대응하기 위해 본 연구의 구조를 기반으로 디지털 격차해소를 위한 정책, 기초학력 지원, 원격수업에 대한 품질 향상, 자기주도 학습에 대해 논의하였다.
