This article investigates critically the concept of good teacher built in the 2002 college admission policy(CAP). The Ministry of Education(MOE) in Korea announces the plan of college admission system in the pursuit of creation of new culture of school in 1998. In general CAP influences the system and the structure of secondary and higher education about the method of teaching, learning and the evaluation. Especially the conception of good teacher and the structure of the selection system are mutually interwound under the criteria of college admission. MOE presents indirectly the various types of good teacher through the different kinds of special selection. The various types of good teacher are as follows; general type of subject specialist, developer of special talent and aptitude, guide and counselor etc. According to the conception of good teacher in CAP, these teachers are characterized by the counter-concept on good student.
CAP replaces good teacher by the talent who develops the various types of ability, mental traits, and potentiality etc. It emphasizes the alternative conception of good teacher as opposed to specialist of academic achievement. But we need to critically review the nature and role of the teacher and criticize the concept of good teacher in CAP by the conceptional criteria of good teacher, the intrinsic principle of education, and the perspectives of curriculum.
The meaning and the nature of teaching and good teacher built in CAP is partial and narrow because of exclusive economical value and omnibus fallacy about the developer the talent and aptitude. I think the concept of good teacher needs to be reconstructed in view of the curricular investigation of conceptional criteria on good teaching and understanding of curriculum. I propose the theory of teaching and teacher education should be based on the logical and empirical understanding of curriculum and instruction.
