Abstract
In order to fundamentally and effectively resolve issues regarding the elderly due to the abnormal population structure of the future Korean society, first, it is necessary to improve the negative image of the elderly. Second, there is the need to correct misunderstandings or perceptions related to the elderly. Third, individuals must perceive the limitations of the welfare system and plan their own post-retirement periods in an independent manner. In order to do so, issues regarding the elderly must be approached from an educational perspective, not a welfare perspective. Therefore, the youth age group is the subject of this study, the core age group that will be responsible in resolving issues regarding the elderly in the period when issues with the elderly due to the aging population will become intensified. The purpose of this study was to serve as preliminary information resource when planning learning-teaching methods or developing programs according to the educational aims. The three educational aims are as follows. First, education regarding changing negative prejudices regarding the elderly. Second, correcting misleading information about senior citizens and teaching important knowledge. Third, education regarding post-retirement planning in order to prepare for the superaged society. A comparative analysis on the different learning-teaching methods (Theoretical classes, senior simulation programs, auditing senior citizen education program classes, communication classes and comprehensive classes) will be conducted in order to explore the most effective learning-teaching method in line with the educational aims.
For the research, 212 male and female students from H High School were classified into 4 different groups. Each group participated in theoretical classes, senior simulation programs, audited senior citizen education programs, communication classes and comprehensive classes over the period of 6 times. A comparative analysis was done on the effectiveness of the classes regarding perceptions related to senior citizens, related knowledge, and post-retirement planning of the students themselves. First, a pre-test was conducted of the 4 groups regarding perceptions related to senior citizens, related knowledge, post-retirement planning before the classes. Homogeneity of the groups were confirmed, and the difference regarding the perceptions related to senior citizens, related knowledge, post-retirement planning of the research subjects were analyzed. After the classes, the credibility of each survey item was verified using the post-test results and the effectiveness of each class method was analyzed. As for the effectiveness of each variable, For perceptions related to the elderly, variables auditing senior citizen education programs and communication classes that enabled direct contact with senior citizens was found to be the most effective, for related knowledge, theoretical classes, and for post-retirement planning, senior citizen simulation programs variables were the most effective. Overall, comprehensive classes showed the best results. In addition, it was found that subjects' answers regarding perceptions related to and the need for elderly education in high school curriculums changed after the classes from 'unnecessary' to 'think it is needed'.
All in all, the following are the results from this research. Currently, there are classes in elementary, middle and high schools regarding low birth and aging society. However, these classes do not lead to resolving negative perceptions or enable a correct understanding of the elderly, nor lead to independent post-retirement planning. As the current classes have a strong tendency to emphasize the current situation and issues related to this social phenomenon, there is the need to establish systems based on this research so that individuals can be the principal agents in resolving issues related to the elderly.
In other words, as individuals do not feel the need and the importance of elderly education, establishing systems that enable elderly education by the government may be a better investment in the long term than immediate welfare. For this to be possible, including such education in school curriculums may be one of the solutions. The effectiveness can be maximized by planning elderly education in school curriculums and developing diverse classes that enable experience for the students. Such classes include directly communicating with senior citizens and participating in senior citizen simulations that were proved to be effective in this research. For this to be possible, not only schools but the local community and the government should actively support and examine related policies.
