Woongjin ThinkBig Launches 'Smart Hanguksa'

Person and Event-Centered Learning

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] Woongjin ThinkBig announced on the 8th that it has launched 'Smart Korean History,' a program that makes learning history fun by focusing on people and events.

Smart Korean History is a learning program designed for elementary school students. It allows children who are studying history for the first time to easily understand the flow of Korean history by integrating people, events, and historical backgrounds in a well-structured manner. It also provides various videos, comic content, and images to make it engaging.

In particular, reflecting the increased interest from parents as Korean history has been designated as a mandatory subject for the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), the program includes past questions from the beginner level of the Korean History Proficiency Test to help students systematically prepare for middle school Korean history courses. Smart Korean History offers physical textbooks along with digital content and companion books, and also provides systematic on-site management by professional teachers.

A Woongjin ThinkBig official said, "Korean history is a subject that children find very interesting, but the wide scope and unfamiliar terminology make it a burdensome subject. Rather than rote memorization by chronology, we hope that Smart Korean History, which is organized around historical figures and events, will help foster an interest in history."
