Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Develops and Distributes Online Content for Arts Education

Five species by three types and five themes linked to curriculum provided on e-Hakseupteo

On the 26th, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service announced that they have developed and distributed online cultural arts education content optimized for school classes. There are eight types available: three curriculum-linked types (music, art, physical education) suitable for use in elementary and secondary education, and five thematic types (media literacy, human rights, career, economy, diversity). These can be accessed from today on e-Hakseupter (Korea Education and Research Information Service). In mid-next month, they will also be broadcast on the Korea Educational Broadcasting System (EBS) online classes.

Kim Eun-hee, Director of the Cultural Arts Education Division at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, explained, "Until now, there has been a relative shortage of online cultural arts education content, causing difficulties for teachers preparing for non-face-to-face classes. Since April last year, we have been promoting development in consultation with the Ministry of Education." The production was led by the "School Cultural Arts Education Remote Class Advisory Group," composed of education office supervisors, teachers, arts instructors, and system personnel. Various opinions were gathered and reflected from content planning to system integration.

The three curriculum-linked types were produced with 18 sessions each, and the five thematic types with 8 sessions each. The latter were created by combining characteristics of the arts field. They include content that explains basic theories on the themes through art and involves creative activities, allowing free use not only in arts but also in other subjects. Director Kim stated, "Teachers can extract and use only the necessary sessions when organizing classes. The materials can also be used as screen content in face-to-face classes."

To encourage active participation, the Ministry provides usage guides and student activity sheets for each content. These can be found on the 'Arte Library' website operated by the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service.
