Busan Office of Education Operates Project for Teachers' Voluntary and Collaborative Research Culture

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education is officially launching a project under the slogan "Busan Classes Embrace Korean Classes!" to foster a voluntary and collaborative research culture among teachers and to strengthen teaching capabilities.

To enhance student-led learning and teaching competencies, the Busan Office of Education operates various contest projects involving a total of 250 teams and 620 elementary school teachers.

The projects include "Challenge! Class Start-Up," which practices class improvement through teaching research and sharing, and the "Student Autonomy Project Class," which helps students plan and challenge themselves to grow as democratic citizens.

To ensure the sound operation of these contest projects, the Office of Education will hold the "2023 Challenge! Class Start-Up Workshop" at 3 p.m. on the 12th in the main auditorium of the Southern Education Support Office for 250 contest project managers.

To activate student-led learning and spread a voluntary teaching research culture, four university collaboration workshops for class improvement will also be held annually.

The first workshop will be held at 1:30 p.m. on the 17th at Busan National University of Education Affiliated Elementary School for elementary school teachers. This workshop will share project class cases under the theme "Teaching is My Job (Teaching is the cornerstone that opens a bright future for students and also illuminates the teacher's own work)."

To enhance teachers' professionalism in teaching and evaluation, from the 23rd to the 31st, a job training course on process-centered evaluation tailored to teachers, aimed at supporting student growth, will be conducted at the Education Training Institute for interested teachers.

Prior to this, from the 2nd to the 11th, job training to strengthen project class competencies was also conducted.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, "This project will serve as a foundation to lead new changes and leaps in the educational field amid the rapidly changing era of educational transformation. We will continue to spare no support for enhancing teachers' professionalism through training, workshops, and resource development related to teaching."
