韓國IB學校與課程之發展與啟示

The Development and Enlightenment of Korean IB Schools and Curriculum

2011年韓國私立京畿外國語高中首次引入國際文憑（International Baccalaureate,IB）課程，並且是韓國第一個獲得認證的學校，可見，相較於歐美與日本，韓國設立IB課程算是起步較晚的。2019年底與國際文憑組織（International Baccalaureate Organization, IBO）簽訂韓語化IB課程，截至2022年10月，韓國共有25所高中職以下學校提供IB課程，有14個國際文憑小學課程（IB Primary Years Programme, PYP）、12個國際文憑中學課程（IB Middle Years Programme, MYP）、17個國際文憑大學預科課程（IB Diploma Programme, DP），以及一個國際文憑職業先修課程（IB Career-related Programme, CP），25所學校中有11所是公立學校，有14所是私立學校。由於COVID-19的疫情使得國際化思維更為重要，且基於培養新學力與創意人才、IB課程評量方式的客觀性，以及作為回應一般家長對國際學校的渴望，近幾年韓國積極推動IB國際學校與課程。本文分析韓國IB學校與課程的發展緣起、過程，以及現況、問題與啟示。

In 2011, the private Gyeonggi Academy of Foreign Languages in South Korea introduced the IB curriculum and was the first school to obtain certification. It can be seen that compared with Europe, America, and Japan, the schools in South Korea that started to set up the IB curriculum started relatively late. At the end of 2019, it signed a Korean-based IB course with IBO. As of October 2022, there are 25 high schools, vocational and secondary, and elementary schools in South Korea offering IB courses. At the elementary level, there are 14 PYP, 12 middle school courses, MYP, 17 high school courses, DP, and one Career-related curriculum. 11 of the 25 schools are public and 14 private. The COVID-19 epidemic has made international thinking more essential and based on the cultivation of new academic and creative talents, the objectivity of the IB curriculum evaluation method, and in response to the desire of parents for international schools, South Korea has actively promoted IB international schools in recent years. This article analyzes the origin, process, current situation, problems, and enlightenment of the development of IB schools and programs in South Korea.
