본 연구의 목적은 사회과교육에서 청소년 정치참여가 그동안 진행된 연구들을 통해 어떠한 방향으로 진행되어왔는지를 살펴보고, 실천 중심의 기능학습으로서 정치참여 교육의 활성화를 제안하기 위해서이다. 청소년 정치참여와 관련한 연구 동향을 분석한 결과, 그동안 사회과교육학과 청소년학을 비롯한 여러 분야에서 청소년의 정치참여에 대해 많은 연구를 진행해왔다. 하지만 사회과교육 내에서도 청소년 정치참여와 관련된 개념이 혼재되어 있어 연구 방향이나 목적, 그리고 의도가 명확하게 나타나지 못하는 경우가 발생하였다. 또한 정치참여 요인을 분석하는 과정에서도 정치참여에 대한 다양한 개념 정의로 인해 관련변인이 중복되거나 누락되기도 한 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 청소년의 정치참여 연구를 위해서 명확한 개념적 정의가 필요하고, 지금까지 행해진 인지적 측면에 기반 한 정치참여 교육에서 더 나아가 다양한 실천 기능 중심의 정치참여 교육이 요구되어짐을 강조하고자 한다. 더불어 실천중심의 기능 학습 측면에 있어서는 청소년 주체의 특성을 고려하여 개인 차원의 교육보다는 집합적 의사결정에 기반을 둔 협동학습을 통한 정치참여 교육의 활성화 필요성을 제시한다.
Can a person participate in politics when that person becomes old enough to vote? Youth co-exist with adult political activities and have a longing to participate in politics and to complain about what politicians do. In addition there is a longing for youth participation in politics. But so far, political participation has mostly been limited to the elections and focused on demonstration and protest. Elections require a certain age and the protests and demonstrations have a strong anti-government, anti-social character. This character makes it difficult for adolescents to participate in politics or further their political education. Meanwhile, academic studies of the political dimension of youth participation activities have been made across various sectors. But as far as the real youth activities for political participation around behavioral practice are concerned, the concept has been defined by a mix of social participation and political participation. In addition, previous studies have a common perspective on the role as a tool for strengthening the political attitudes and political participation to be done in adulthood, rather than as a tool for analyzing the political participation of youth. But discussing the political participation levels in youth and adults using the same criteria makes it difficult to present the practical implications of political participation. Therefore, the characteristics of the process and its definition of the political participation of young people specifically are necessary. This research defines and concentrates on the unique characteristics of the voluntary and practical policy making level of young people and all other comprehensive activities that can be defined as political participation. Therefore, in this study, youth political participation is defined to be the ‘most teenagers set to influence the youth in public policy or administrative proceedings is the principal enemy practice behavior.’ In addition, this study focuses on communication networks created from youth political participation, considering the collective decision-making characteristics of young people participating in politics.
