Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, Daegu·Gyeongbuk Awareness Educational Materials 'Publication Presentation'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] On the 18th, the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education held a publication presentation for "Revisiting Our Hometown Daegu-Gyeongbuk" at the Daegu Education Museum, attended by about 40 people including Superintendent of Education Kang Eun-hee, Superintendent of Education Lim Jong-sik of Gyeongbuk Province, the director of the Daegu Education Museum, and publishing officials.

The publication presentation was conducted simultaneously as an in-person event with attendees while adhering to COVID-19 prevention guidelines and as a live broadcast on YouTube (Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education channel).

"Revisiting Our Hometown Daegu-Gyeongbuk" is a resource completed by the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education after more than two years of development to instill accurate knowledge and pride about Daegu-Gyeongbuk among middle and high school students.

Previously, elementary schools had developed "Our Very Good Daegu," which after revisions and supplements, has been provided as a localized textbook to all 4th-grade elementary students, but there was no resource for middle and high school students to understand our region.

While many local governments in Korea have regional materials in the form of travel guides or historical introductions, this is the first time that materials covering various fields such as history, culture, society, nature, and economy have been thoroughly explored from an experiential learning perspective and explained in an easy-to-read narrative format.

In particular, the section involved recruiting 10 middle school teams to conduct preliminary surveys with university student mentors who assist with cultural heritage explanations and guidance, and the results were produced as short videos, making them usable as instructional materials for each unit, according to the Office of Education.

Superintendent Kang Eun-hee stated, "Through this material, we expect students to gain accurate knowledge about the land where they were born and raised, develop pride as Daegu-Gyeongbuk residents, and grow into talented individuals proud of this land with a broad-minded spirit capable of embracing the world."
