Abstract

Purpose of the Study : This research aims to examine the core values of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) from a Christian perspective and explore the direction of Christian education that fosters character traits such as service, compassion, responsibility, and sharing through the process of design thinking. Content and Method of the Study : By investigating the background and definition of ESG, ESG practices in businesses, and the current status and values of ESG education in universities, this study examined the core values of ESG from a Christian perspective. Subsequently, the study explored and proposed directions for applying ESG education methods infused with character traits such as service, compassion, responsibility, and sharing through the process of design thinking. Conclusion and Recommendations : Through this study, the core values of ESG have been derived as elements from a Christian perspective, and exploration has been made on how to integrate them into the design thinking process. Consequently, this study has identified the potential to integrate ESG into the design thinking process with a focus on elements from the perspective of Christian education. This could serve as foundational material for education seeking to apply ESG through the integration of design thinking, and it is hoped that it will be helpful as a basis for further research. Subsequent studies should aim to construct a more systematic framework for the direction proposed in this study through expert reviews.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 기독교 관점에서 바라본 ESG 핵심 가치를 중심으로 살펴보고, 디자인씽킹 프로세스를 통해서 섬김, 배려, 책임과 나눔 등 인성을 함양한 기독교 교육 방향성을 탐구하는 것에 있다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : ESG 배경 및 정의, 기업에서 실천하고 있는 ESG, 대학 교육에서의 ESG 교육 현황과 가치를 탐구하여 기독교 관점에서 바라본 ESG의 핵심 가치 연결 요소를 중심으로 검토한 후, 디자인씽킹 프로세스를 통해서 섬김, 배려, 책임과 나눔 등 인성을 함양한 ESG 교육 적용 방안에 대한 방향성을 탐구하고 제시하였다. 결론 및 제언 : 본 연구를 통해서 ESG 핵심 가치를 기독교 관점의 요소로 도출하였고, 이를 디자인씽킹 프로세스에 접목할 수 있는 방향을 탐구하고 모색하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 ESG를 기독교 교육의 관점의 요소를 중심으로 디자인씽킹 프로세스에 접목할 수 있는 가능성을 발견하였다. 이는 디자인씽킹을 접목하여 ESG 교육을 적용하고자 하는 교육에서 기초자료로 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대하는 바이다. 후속 연구에서는 전문가 검토를 통해 본 연구의 방향성 제시에 대해 더욱 체계적인 모형으로 구성될 필요성이 있다.
