Abstract |
From the viewpoint of higher education, the universities in Korea are all ‘drown’ into the structural confusion which has brought about unsuccessful achievement in academic oriented as well as in vocational oriented education. The confusion consists practically in plane jucstaposition of all ‘departments’ on one level without consideration of orderly system of sciences. The difference of pure sciences and applied ones must be kept also in educational system in the form of ‘layer-structure’ so that the academic oriented as well as the vocational oriented education could reach their educational goal. Through this reform the general education in its intrinsic meaning can be also enhanced so that the study in various majors can be fulfilled on firm basics and the ‘intellectual conjunctive horizon’ for the conjunction/ convergence of knowledge in various fields can be opened to the students. This kind of structural reform of higher education in Korea is all the more demanded in the age of information society. |
