어떤 성격의 것이며, 그러한 공동체를 형성하는 과정에서 교육이 어떻게 작용하고 있는지를 집중 분석하고 있다. 이 연구에서 우리는 학교 구성원들이 대안적 교육 프로그램을 중심으로 입장 차이를 유보한 채 결속하는 명시적 공동체와, 갈등사태에 직면하여 문제를 해결하는 동안 교육적 성장을 이루어가는 암묵적 공동체를 발견할 수 있었다. 그리고 학교가 공식적으로 추진해 온 전경의 교육과, 구성원들 사이에 잠재적 체험의 고정으로 드러나는 배경의 교육을 구분해서 살펴볼 수 있었다. 여기서 우리는 학교공동체가 진정한 의미의 교육공동체가 되기 위해서는 획일적 동질성에 기초하여 구성원들을 소외시키는 일이 있어서는 아니 되며, 모든 구성원이 주체로서 대화에 참여하고 그들 통한 변증법적 성장을 이룰 수 있어야 한다는 사실을 구체적 체험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. In this global-information age, humans are struggling to achieve balanced ways of living between those of modernist values, which have emphasized individual freedom and responsibility, and newly asked postmodern communal philosophies. It seems to be a task to construct a set of ‘glocalized’ communities. Constructing such a utopian community has long been a dream but never been fully realized, mostly because previous communal movements have been, in nature, prone to hegemonic disguises of either imperialist dictatorship or nationalist populism. They were not actually based on ordinary people`s knowledge and participation. In this research, we pay attention to the role of education in building such a harmonious humane community. Education is by definition a continuous dialogic endeavor to overcome the gap between ignorance and knowledge, the conflict between subjective agents and their social constraints. An ideal community here called ‘educational community’ is one in which people not only belong together but also become together. In the educational community, everyone searches and supports a better co-existence. In order to be “educational”, a community should be meaningful as well as fuctional for its every member. The present ethnographic case study has tried to discover and describe the culture of Sundle Primary School and its surrounding community. The school under study has been continuously in a crisis to close for its population decrease from 1991. But a series of collective works done by parents, school staffs, and other community leaders has revied the school and its back-ground community. Now the school takes a vital role to (re)build an ‘educational community’ in a small valley town in central Korea. Researchers have observed Sundle Primary School and its community for almost two years. In the field, they have conducted both participant observations and ethnographic interviews to understand what makes such an educational community possible and how the people identify and solve the problems emerged in the process of their educational community building. They could find the Sundle people are very active to cure a “deep-seated disease” of Korean public schools. They have developed their own alternative educational programs such as season camps, self-supportive evaluation meetings, community revitalization activities, and so on. Their focus was on finding out and establishing better educational relationships among concerned groups. As results, they could enjoy substantial success in achieving a widely awarded school as well as a visible educational community. Further research and data analyses are still on going by the researchers.
