이 연구는 OECD 산하의 교육혁신연구센터(CERI)에서 미래 학교교육을 전망하기 위하여 제시한 6가지 시나리오에 대하여 국내 교육계 리더들의 인식을 델파이 기법을 동원하여 조사하였다. 1단계에서는 간단한 질문지를 통하여 6가지 시나리오에 대한 바람직한 정도와 실현가능한 정도를 조사하였으며, 2단계에서는 교육계 리더들이 시나리오에 대한 인식을 면담을 통하여 조사하였다. 두 단계의 조사 결과 현체제 유지 시나리오, 즉 관료제의 유지나 시장모델의 확대가 실현가능성이 높은 것으로, 그리고 사회 센터로서 학교가 발달하거나 학습조직화를 바람직하다고 판단하고 있었다. 학교가 사회 센터로서 혹은 학습조직으로서 발전하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각하는 것은 교육의 가치를 실현하기에 더욱 적합하다고 판단하기 때문이다. 바람직하나 현실성이 낮다고 전망하는 것은 현 체제 유지를 적극 수용하는 것이라고 보기 어렵다. 조사 토대로 학교교육의 혁신 방안에 대한 시사점을 제언하였다.


This study focused on the prospect of developing school education in Korea and dealt with the issues that are likely to happen in its realization process. This study is based on the six different scenarios that were suggested by CERI(Center for Education Research Institute), an affiliated institute of OECD, to globally investigate the future of school education. Specifically, they are: 1)robust bureaucratic school system; 2)extending the market model; 3)schools as core social centres; 4)schools as focused learning organization; 5)learner networks and the network society; and 6)teacher Exodus - the 'meltdown' scenario. Among them, the scenarios 1) and 2) were made under the assumption of maintenance of the status quo; 2) and 3), its re-schooling; 4) and 5), its de-schooling.The group of educational leaders in Korea prefers a restructuring of the current school system into a completely new one as its desirable future, rather than either maintaining the current system or letting schools melt down. Even though the possibility of its realization appeared to be practically lower than that of keeping the current system going on, the re-schooling scenario i.e., the future roles of schools as focused learning organization and as core social centers were surveyed as the most prominent prospects for the school system in the future. It emerged that this result was nearly identical to the ones of the same study investigated by CERI on eight different Asian-Pacific countries. Moreover, this study dealt with some possible problems that will take place in the process of realizing the two scenarios. Roughly we raised two problems: a problem of how much money we are able to invest as its budget and a problem of how to make either regional or class differences alleviated.
