Busan Office of Education Shares Exemplary "Questioning School" Cases... Student-Centered Questioning Education Expands

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has launched an initiative to spread a classroom culture centered on student-driven questioning.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Seokjun) will hold an event to share exemplary cases of the "Questioning School" program at the Busan Education Research and Information Institute at 3:30 p.m. on May 27. The event will be attended by over 300 participants, including heads of curriculum departments from middle and high schools, as well as supervisors from education support offices.

The "Questioning School" is an educational model that places students' self-directed questions and discussions at the core of classes to foster creativity and problem-solving abilities. It targets Ministry of Education-designated leading schools that implement diverse teaching and assessment methods.

Currently, there are a total of five schools in the Busan area designated and operated as leading schools by the Ministry of Education: Baekyang Elementary School (elementary), Deokwon Middle School, Yeonsan Middle School, Dongsuyeong Middle School (middle), and Busan Hyewon School (special education).

At the event, three schools?Deokwon Middle School, Yeonsan Middle School, and Dongsuyeong Middle School?will present their classroom case studies and hold a Q&A session. In addition, teacher Kang Sinhye (Changwon Myeongji Girls' High School) will deliver a special lecture on "Integration of Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment, and Record-Keeping through Questioning-Based Korean Language Classes."

The Office of Education stated, "We expect this event to serve as an opportunity to share concrete, practical examples for implementing question-centered classes," adding, "It will also help realize more advanced lessons that align with the direction of the 2022 revised curriculum."

Superintendent Kim Seokjun said, "Classes centered on questioning are the first step in education that opens students' minds and enables both teachers and students to grow together," adding, "We will actively support classroom innovation by connecting with digital tools and generative AI."
