Sažetak
A society’s reality should be reflected in education, that is, educational methods need
to keep up with the times. The purpose of this research is to examine the educational
methods for the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the education system of
Korea. The sample of the research targeted the Korean education system from 1960
to the present in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. A literature review
and a descriptive approach were applied to analyze the sample, and the findings
indicate that the education system of Korea may be classified into three stages from
1960 to the present. The first stage was nationalism, driven by the government, from
1960 to 1994; the second stage was liberalism, which emphasized autonomy, from
1995 to 2015; and the third stage was creativity for the era of the Fourth Industrial
Revolution, from 2016 to the present. These results indicate that the education stages
of nationalism and liberalism still exist in Korea and that past education methods,
such as mass education, have not been replaced. The Fourth Industrial Revolution
requires fusion and collaboration in the education sector, and a personalized learning
system, which values individual talents, experiences and aptitudes, will expectedly
be a crucial factor in determining the educational methods of Korea in the Fourth
Industrial Revolution, as this research suggests.
