Mid- and Long-term Approach to Development of the Free-semester Program:
A Focus on Expanding the Program to All School Levels
This study aims to suggest mid- and long-term approach to development of the Free-semester Program, a pioneering policy for the innovation of the Korean education system. There are three main purposes of this research: 1) to establish the necessity and significance of extending the Free-semester Program, 2) to design a model for the expansion of the Free-semester Program to education at all levels, including elementary, middle and high school, and 3) to discern the policies necessary for implementing the suggested model and use it to propose mid- and long-term measures of development. In order to address these topics, this study reviewed previous national and international research regarding free-semester programs. In addition, this study conducted expert and research group meetings, Delphi survey, focus-group interviews, and professionals’ forums.
