[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 18th that it has developed a hands-on learning workbook on democratic citizenship education in history titled ‘Namdo Democratic Peace Trail, Mokpo·Naju·Hwasun Edition’ and will distribute it to frontline schools starting from the 22nd.

This workbook was completed with the participation of 15 writers including teachers and history experts, and is broadly composed of ▲Jeollado Spirit and Democratic Citizenship Spirit ▲Overview of the Region ▲Path to Independence ▲Path to Peace ▲Path to Democracy ▲Figures Who Illuminated the Region.

The content covers major modern and contemporary historical events such as ▲Donghak Peasant Revolution ▲Late Joseon Righteous Army ▲Independence Movement during Japanese Occupation ▲Division and Korean War, April 19 Revolution ▲May 18 Democratization Movement ▲June 10 Democratization Movement, allowing students to learn the spirit of national independence, peace, and democracy, establish a correct historical perspective, and cultivate democratic citizenship awareness.

Additionally, following the paths of independence, peace, and democracy, the workbook includes learning materials such as ▲Creating Experience Routes ▲Activity Sheets ▲Experience Activity Tips to enhance the sense of presence for direct use in experiential learning. In particular, to increase the workbook’s preservation and field usability, Hangul files were uploaded to the work portal’s work DB so that teachers and students can directly modify and process them for use.

Lee Byung-sam, Director of Democratic Citizenship Life Education, said, “This workbook is differentiated from existing materials in that students can find and educate the value of democratic citizenship spirit through historical facts they encounter in their living environment.” He added, “This year, editions for Yeosu, Gangjin, and Jangseong are planned to be developed, and we will strive to develop workbooks for all 22 cities and counties in phases.”

Meanwhile, Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education plans to hold the first writers’ consultation meeting for the development of the Yeosu, Gangjin, and Jangseong editions at the Education Office Sports Center on the 26th.
