「공교육정상화촉진 및 선행교육 규제에 관한 특별법」 제정의 게임 이론적 분석: 선행학습 규제를 중심으로

The purpose of this study was to analyze the background and significance of the prohibition of prior learning, which is the main content of Special Law of Public Education Normalization (SLPEN), by applying game theory, and to derive implications necessary for developing educational policy and law. To this end, we examined the meaning of game theory elements, the pay-off matrix, and the balance that can function as a framework or analytical criterion of game theory. The research method of the research was literature analysis such as government press releases, research reports, academic papers, and media reports related to private education and prior learning. The main results of the analysis are as follows: 1) In the viewpoint of game theory, regulation of prior learning of public education normalization law was an example of institutional design in which the state intervenes and improves Pareto; 2) Regulation of prior learning in the law for normalization of public education may be limited in preventing rational choice of schools or individuals who have conducted prior learning; 3) It does not exclude the possibility that the rational choice of school and individual falls into a collective and social dilemma in which loss occurs throughout the country; and 4) If the government enacts only laws and does not properly control violations of prior learning, there is a possibility of a decline in the credibility of government policies due to the occurrence of innocent victims. Based on the analysis result and discussion, this study suggested that in order to maintain the purpose of the prior learning regulation, voluntary adaptation of the individual/school, coherent law enforcement of the government, and the analysis of psychological, cultural and social problems and efforts to resolve public education were concurrently required.
