This study is aimed at exploring the effects of forest experience activities on promoting children's community spirit. To achieve this, a pre-post survey was empirically carried out with 40 children at Kindergarten A in the city of Chungnam. The comprehensive findings showed a significant difference between the experimental group, which had forest experience activities, and the control group, which had outdoor activities based on the existing Nuri curriculum. Based on a pre-test for intimacy, emotion, mutual public awareness, and participation consciousness as sub-factors of community spirit, which adopted all the research hypotheses, the results suggest that the forest kindergarten will become an educational place for children. Consequently, personality education using nature in forest kindergartens can become an excellent goal, helping to boost the development of children's sensitivity and emotional stability through awakening the five senses; building up self-awareness, self-reliance, and trust; learning consideration and respect for others; and developing positive attitudes, sociality, potential, imagination, and creativity through forest activities with their peers.

최근 대학교 내 창업친화적 학사제도의 활성화 등의 정책적 노력과 지원에 따라 다양한 형태의 창업교과목 신설 및 운영이 이뤄지고 있다. 일반적인 정보전달 위주의 창업교육보다 실제 창업가에게 요구되는 다양한 역량과 문제해결 능력 등을 체득할 수 있는 체험형 창업강좌가 교육의 효과에 더 긍정적인 역할을 하고 있음은 여러 연구에서 밝혀진 바 있다. 창업교육의 대표적 학자인 Michael H. Morris(2014)에 의하면 창업교육은 학생들의 역량 개발을 기준으로 설계되고 평가되어야 하며, 기업가에게 필요한 역량 강화를 위해서는 모의 창업 시뮬레이션을 포함한 다양한 과제, 협업활동, 체험학습 요소 등을 접목시킨 몰입적 참여형 체험학습으로 커리큘럼을 구성해야만 기업가적 역량을 향상시킬 수 있다고 제시하였다. 본 연구는 대학교 내 창업교육 유형을 실전형, 혼합형, 특강형으로 구분하여 창업교육 수업유형에 따른 창업의지 영향요인인 교육 만족도, 자기효능감, 기회인식, 창의성의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 아울러 창업교육의 수업유형이 교육 수강 후 창업의지 영향요인과 창업의지에 미치는 조절효과에 대해 실증분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과는 창업교육이 지향해야 체험중심의 창업교육 표준모델의 제안하고, 창업교육 효과에 대한 연구 확산에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

This study is to examine how activities using local multi -cultural resources and world geography lessons using the CCAP(Cross-Cultural Awareness Programme) affect students' multi-cultural understanding. Activities using local multi-cultural resources were carried by visiting in an alien worker community, volunteering in multicultural center, attending on UNESCO ASP(Associated School Program), and making radio broadcasting program associated with 'SCN FM' which is a local broadcasting station on the weekend. And world geography lessons using the CCAP were conducted with 5 classes including orientation by inviting foreign instructors from that place after reconstructing the Southeast and South Asia unit of the countries such as Pakistan, the Philippines, Myanmar and Cambodia. According to twice questionnaire survey conducted before and after activities using local multi-cultural resources and world geography lessons using the CCAP, it appeared that students had familiarity more than before through direct meeting with foreigners inside and outside classroom, and understood and respected other cultures by acquiring contextual regional knowledge. In the end, multi-cultural activities and world geography lessons using the CCAP contributed to students' global citizenship, which overcame prejudice toward third world cultures. Like that, if world geography classes provide continually students with opportunities to experience directly diverse cultures inside and outside classroom, world geography overcome negative image that it transmit decontextual regional knowledge and is regarded as the subject that is very fit for nurturing global citizenship based on contextual knowledge, consideration and tolerance needed in global and multi-cultural society.
