A Hermeneutical Study on Educational Practice for Enhancing Interaction of Learning Community and Learner-focused Educational Experience

초록

This article’s purpose is to establish methodological foundation and direction for good educational practice from a philosophical hermeneutics standpoint as an appropriate response to the changes in the current higher education environment. For this purpose, the article deduces the importance of interactions between the members of a learning community by examining the types and characteristics of teaching–learning methodologies on the rise in the digital learning environment. This is followed by suggestions on the normative framework for promoting educational interactions through concretization of the attitude, format and spirit for creation and sharing and communicating knowledge in on/offline educational environments based on the core concepts of philosophical hermeneutics. In addition, conditions for efficient experiential learning will be explored while clarifying the validity of attempts to shift the axis of learning experience from professors to students from a hermeneutics perspective. Then, we will examine the direction of good educational practice from the same perspective for enhancing learner-focused educational experiences. Lastly, we will emphasize the appropriate role for professors in the age of the new normal by presenting what characteristics of education reflect the spirit of hermeneutics
