Gyeonggi Office of Education Develops and Distributes Nation's First 'Integrity Education Textbook'

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education has developed the first-ever integrity textbook for students in the province, titled 'Integrity Education for Future Generations,' and distributed it to schools at all levels nationwide.

The Gyeonggi Office of Education previously formed a textbook development support team mainly composed of active teachers in the province and developed the materials over five months.

The textbook explains 11 integrity virtues in an easy-to-understand way tailored to students' perspectives, adding five virtues (morality, compliance, transparency, trust, social justice) to the existing six virtues of integrity: fairness, promise, justice, responsibility, moderation, and consideration.

In particular, it focuses on enhancing students' awareness of integrity by reflecting the evolving and expanded concepts of corruption and integrity according to the times. It was separately produced for lower elementary, upper elementary, middle school, and high school students to increase usability in school settings.

The textbook is organized into ▲concept summaries by integrity virtue ▲student activities ▲teacher reference materials. Various cases and examples are provided at each stage to engage students' interest.

Also, considering that students are familiar with video content, video materials are included in each unit, with links and QR codes embedded to enable learner-centered use.

The Gyeonggi Office of Education distributed the textbooks to schools at all levels for use in integrity education and shared the materials on the provincial education office website (Electronic Civil Service - Integrity Hope Research Institute - Integrity Guide) so that anyone can download them.

Choi Kwang-bo, head of the textbook development support team and principal of Hyangdong High School, said, "The integrity textbook is the result of active teachers' passion and sense of responsibility toward integrity," adding, "I hope it will be widely used in schools and greatly help improve the integrity awareness of students, the future generation."
