ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research was to examine and to investigate the current situation and present state of humanities and arts convergence education in Korean universities. Different from previous research that only dealt with narrow topics, theoretical reviews, presentation of models, or curriculum designs, this research widely scrutinizes overall educational practices in Korean universities. At the outset previous research related to humanities and arts convergent education and forward education of creative thinking is reviewed. It is confirmed that theoretically refined outcomes of the meaning and need of convergent education in the fields of humanities and arts are still insufficient, and that existing empirical research is limited to the mere introduction of institutional and curricula models of convergent education. Therefore this research began with a focus group interview (FGI) with specialists in interdisciplinary and convergent education in the humanities and arts, and applied its results to the consultation of the survey on the views of the teachers and students who have experienced the convergent education program in the university. The results of the survey indicate that humanities and arts convergent education has been practiced in various types and curriculums. However, they also indicate that there are several things that should be improved upon for the educational quality in this area, including teachers' professionalism, content development, and the educational environment for teachers and students engaged in convergent education. This research has been designed to provide reliable information on the current situation of convergent education, and to establish a foundation for further discussion about its direction and future policies.
