Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the practicality of Christian education for sustainable development in a rapidly changing world. The first part of this study identify the concept, meaning, and direction of implementation of "Sustainable Development," which has been studied and published around UNESCO since the early 1980s, and present practical strategies for the sustainable development of Christian education. This study chronologically selected five major reports published by UNESCO--"Our Common Future"(1987), "Agenda 21"(1992), "UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development 2005-2014"(2002), "Roadmap for Implementing the Global Action Programme for Education for Sustainable Development 2015-2019"(2014) and "Education for Sustainable Development 2030"(2020)--and examined the concept and meaning of "Sustainable Development"(SD). At the same time, in relation to "Education for Sustainable Development"(ESD), the occurrence, change, and implementation method of "Sustainable Development Goals"(SDGs) were examined and presented. This study derived three Christian educational implications necessary to properly establish the next generation of faith, based on a leadership development strategy using the concept of sustainable development, For the sustainability of Christian education, the foundation of education based on the correct biblical interpretation of cultural mandate is first examined, and then the need for curriculum development and class design is proposed using various types of indicators and educational modules. Finally, specific practices for the development of educational leadership to revitalize Christian education are presented through a multi-dimensional approach.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 급변하는 세상 속에서 지속가능한 발전을 위한 기독교교육의 실천적 가능성을 모색하고자 하는 목적으로 진행되었다. 이를 위하여 1980년대 초부터 유네스코를 중심으로 연구되고 발표되었던 "지속가능발전"(Sustainable Development)이라는 개념과 의미 그리고 실행방향을 규명하고, 그 원리를 활용하여 기독교교육의 지속가능한 발전을 위한 실천적 전략을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 본 연구는 유네스코에서 발표한 5개의 주요 보고서들--"우리 공동의 미래"(1987), "의제21"(1992), 유엔ESD 10년"(2002), "글로벌실행프로그램 2015-2019"(2014) 그리고 "지속가능발전2030"(2020)--을 연대순으로 선별하고, 그 안에 제시되고 있는 "지속가능발전(SD)의 개념과 의미에 대한 변천사를 고찰하였다. 동시에 "지속가능발전교육"(ESD)과 관련하여 "지속가능발전목표"(SDGs)의 발생과 변천 그리고 실행방식을 살펴보면서 지속가능발전의 구체적인 실천전략이 갖는 특징들을 분석하여 제시하였다. 결론 및 제언 : 본 연구를 통해 지속가능발전의 개념과 이를 활용한 리더십 개발전략을 바탕으로 하여 기독교교육이 믿음의 다음 세대를 올바르게 세우기 위해 필요한 3가지 함의점을 도출하였다. 먼저 기독교교육의, 지속가능성을 위하여 문화명령에 대한 올바른 성경적 해석을 바탕으로 한 교육의 토대를 점검하고 다음으로 다양한 형태의 지표와 교육모듈을 사용하여 구체적인 교육과정 개발과 수업 설계의 필요성을 제안하고, 마지막으로 다차원적인 접근을 통해 기독교교육의 활성화를 위한 교육리더십 개발을 위한 구체적인 실천사항을 제시한다.
