[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 19th that from the 19th to the 23rd, a ‘Rural Education Practicum’ will be conducted at 13 schools in the Jeonnam region, with 324 second-year students from Gwangju National University of Education participating.
This event is a joint project between the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education and Gwangju National University of Education, initiated in 2005 with the purpose of encouraging university students' interest and understanding of rural elementary education in Jeonnam and fostering motivation to work in the Jeonnam area.
The ‘Rural Education Practicum’ draws attention as it offers a direct experience of rural education in Jeonnam, which is emerging as a new opportunity for future education centered on non-face-to-face methods amid the heightened crisis caused by COVID-19.
This practicum is operated focusing on experiential activities that reveal the educational conditions and situations of each practicum school according to their characteristics, and is composed of three days of non-face-to-face practicum and two days of face-to-face practicum, suitable for the COVID-19 era.
The non-face-to-face practicum mainly consists of establishing one’s own educational philosophy, understanding excellent cases of Jeonnam education, understanding online classes, and wise teacher life (Zoom video classes, 13 types of remote lectures by invited external instructors). The two days of face-to-face practicum will be operated diversely, including observing classes at practicum schools and experiencing various school educational activities.
