AN ART EDUCATION AND CULTURAL LEARNING PROGRAM FOR
KOREAN TEACHERS. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Feb 2009, Pages: 488
The purpose of this study is to discover the
stakeholders’ essential nature, meaning, and value
of the intensive one month Florida based art
education and cultural learning program for the
South Korean elementary school teachers. Based on a
phenomenological study, data sources included in-
depth interviews with six Korean teachers, the
program coordinator, the program administrator, the
Korean program coordinator at the teacher
participants’ home university, and two program
assistants from a university in north Florida,
intensive observations of whole events and
activities, and review of the teacher participants’
research journal notebooks, materials, and
documents. Findings indicate that the program can
encourage the teacher participants and other
stakeholders to understand people in different
cultures, provide participants who are interested in
studying abroad with a beginning experience, and
begin, through firsthand experience, to adjust their
fixed or stereotypical views of cultures other than
their own through the construction of new cultural
perspectives.
