금융 교과 신설에 관한 교사 인식 분석 연구

The purpose of this study is to analyze the perceptions of school teachers regarding the establishment of a financial education curriculum. This analysis is conducted in response to the growing public demand for financial education, driven by increasing losses from indiscriminate financial investments by young people and their heightened exposure to financial crimes. Additionally, the study aims to explore specific policy improvement measures, such as revising the financial education curriculum, to promote financial education. To achieve these objectives, a survey on the necessity of financial education was conducted with 372 elementary, middle, and high school teachers and administrators from 17 regions nationwide. The study also analyzed the demand for specific areas, including the need for a dedicated financial education curriculum and revisions to the existing financial education framework. The findings indicate that 98.4% of teachers recognized the necessity of financial education, and there was also strong agreement on the need to establish a financial curriculum and revise the financial education framework. Notably, the results showed a higher demand for the establishment of financial education curricula and courses for general high schools compared to vocational high schools. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a financial education curriculum and revise the national-level education framework, focusing on general high schools. As this study focused on teachers, further research involving students and parents is recommended to examine their perceptions of financial education and identify strategies to enhance its implementation.
