The Seoul National University of Education (SNUE) is a public university in Seocho-gu,Seoul,South Korea,which provides specialized training for future public elementary school teachers in South Korea. Founded in May 1946 under the name of Kyunggi Public Normal School,the university is the first national university that specializes in elementary school teacher training. The university offers graduate and undergraduate programs,and has an attached elementary school.
The school was originally founded as Kyunggi Public Normal School on May 22,1946. [1] The attached elementary school,which functions as a research school for teachers-in-training and researchers,opened on March 1,1953. [2] On March 1,1962,the university was incorporated as a branch of Seoul National University.
In 1977,the campus moved to its current location in Seocho-gu,Seoul. [1]
The school has expanded throughout the years into various institutes and support centers,such as the International Language Institute and the Center for the Education of Gifted Children in Science. [3] [4]
After a series of name changes due to organizational shifts over the years,Seoul National University of Education was endowed with its current name in 1993. Shortly thereafter in 1996,SNUE established its Graduate School of Education.
The Undergraduate College offers the single major of Elementary Education and variety of specialized concentrations within the major:
The SNUE Graduate School aims to train teachers specializing in elementary education. It also promotes various fields and specialties,continuing education,and the improvement of academic abilities for elementary school teachers. It offers the following majors:
SNUE also has an active TESOL program consisting of a standard attendance program along with a Saturday only course for students who are unable to follow the regular course. The course was designed to give both native and non-native English teachers the skills to teach effectively in the classroom. SNUE's TESOL program is delivered in conjunction with the Australian Griffith University and the two universities also conduct overseas trips for further training between Seoul,South Korea and Brisbane,Australia.
SNUE is located at Seocho-dong,Seocho-gu,in the southern part of Seoul. While this part of Seoul was a newly developing area with scarce population and lower land value in 1977 (when the campus was established),the area is now the opposite after its rapid development in the 70s and the 80s. [5]
The dormitory is for students from provincial areas. It helps SNUE students to experience a successful group life by encouraging autonomy and discipline. It has convenient facilities such as a lobby,a reading room,bathrooms,cooking facilities,a seminar room,a physical exercise room,a water purifier,pianos,and more. Freshmen generally are given a priority admission to the dormitory (50% of the total capacity). Dormitory members are arranged according to the year and personal preferences.
The attached elementary school is an experimental research school for effective teaching practices and performance policy,as judged by the Ministry of Education. It offers compulsory elementary education,substantial studies,and activities that provide guidance for Intern Teachers,analysis and application of experimental textbooks,experimental application and generalization of the curriculum,experimental research of various educational policies,and workshops for teachers to reform the classroom. The school also has special educational support programs,such as the operation of classes for Korean students from other countries,active education of folk art,education for special aptitude with varied learning through hands-on experience and ICT (information,communication &technology) education. [2]
The campus is served by Seoul Nat'l Univ. of Education Station,a transit station between Seoul Subway Line 2 and 3.
Seoul Express Bus Terminal and Seoul Nambu Bus Terminal are a station away from the campus,making the campus accessible for students from outer-Seoul area.
Student life in SNUE is different from that of other universities. Due to the university's status as a specialized institution,students already have a set curriculum laid out for all four years. For example,freshmen students only get to choose 3 classes out of 10 classes they attend their first semester. [6]
Students who share the same specialized course form a Class,and the Class remains the same until they graduate. Students in a Class usually attend the same lectures (except few selective ones)and participate in other activities together for 4 years.
While this has some disadvantages,such as a limited opportunity for broader social engagement,students often form a tight cohort within their class. This cohort is advantageous,as the students will often go into the same highly-specialized field of education.
SNUE made headlines when President Song Kwang-yong was quoted in the October 28,2009 edition of The Korea Times as claiming that teachers from Western nations "are not qualified and are often involved in sexual harassment and drugs". [7] Song later clarified that the quote was fabricated by Kang Shin-who,a journalist who has been previously criticized for misquoting interviewees or fabricating quotes. [8]
