Abstract

This study again analyzes the concepts of convergence, liberal education and convergence education for the spread of liberal education in convergence education. And I present the standard plan for the convergence area of liberal arts education, i.e. convergence education area, based on the standard plan currently presented by the Korea National Institute For General Education. It will also present examples of some of the classics and studies that are considered the ideal outcome of convergence education. The current convergence education in Korea is at a crossroads where it has to set a realistic direction and is at a time of paradigm shift in new liberal arts education. In conclusion, the new convergence education should move toward self-discovering and viewing the incommensurability and commensurability parts of the existing paradigm among academics.
