21st Century Trend Analysis in Global Education Reform (Ⅱ):

Creative Character Education focused on developing Non-Cognitive Skills



The current Korean government emphasizes the importance of creativity for the new era of economic development, as Korea advances into the economy that relies heavily on cultural, service-oriented, intellectual products rather than labor-intense manufactures. The government’s labeling of such a new direction of economic development as ‘creative economy’ then requires the education sector to cope with new strategies to develop future workers' creativity. As developed economies may have done well in creativity education according to the government's assumption, this study is conducted to investigate certain international model cases which Korean education can refer to in establishing new educational strategy to boost students' creative abilities.
