Education is of the utmost importance. It is a responsibility and mission that a country bears in building for its future. Teachers are the lights that guide the way— the lights that shine to help brighten a child's life, society's path, and the country's fate. This is our mission and our goal; SNUB is a living textbook with more than 60 years of elementary education experience in Korea. Every day at SNUB becomes a new page of this textbook. We are future-oriented, we teach with love, and we pursue diversity and internationalization. We take pride in the fact that we are the first and the top national University of education.
As a university that educates elementary school teachers, we teach students to acquire educators who have educational qualities and full professional qualities. Therefore, our University has a mission to educate educators who can provide a lifetime of service to develop Korean education as a resignation of the people and educate the second-generation citizens.
This University's goal is to nurture competent teachers equipped with character and skills who are willing to commit to the development of society and the country under the Republic of Korea's educational beliefs. The purpose of the University is to educate competent elementary school teachers with personality and qualities as an educator who can devote to national and social development under the Republic of Korea's educational ideology.
We cultivate human beings who love the country and devote themselves to the people's happiness and prosperity. To be a good educator, you first have to be a good citizen. The educator has a sense of duty to serve the people as the resignation of the people.
Cultivate skills and attitudes necessary for democratic social life. Democracy is the ideology of our nation, and it is an ideal lifestyle that can lead the lives of the Korean people to order and prosperity. Therefore, our University aims to establish students' attitudes to devote themselves to building a better democratic society by fostering their ability to understand democratic ideals and make social life more effective.
Develop the ability to accurately and broadly understand the child's growth and behavior. Children continuously grow and develop. Therefore, the teacher can make correct guidance by first understanding the child's developmental process, personality, desire, etc. Therefore, our University will enrich students' experiences in researching human growth development, observing and analyzing child behavior, participating in elementary school life, and realizing experiences in teaching children's learning.
Students will acquire the ability to successfully teach each elementary school curriculum and acquire teaching and learning ability. Only those who devote themselves day by day can become masters. Teachers should strive more than anyone else for their growth. Therefore, our University encourages students to develop their serious research attitudes and continue the education experience and research activities necessary for the teachers to make educational development efforts.
Through the deep awareness of the teaching profession's mission, it has a firm belief as an educator. Although teaching is a profession, there is a difference in character from other professions. Teaching is a priesthood that prays for the second generation. Therefore, we at the University encourage students to deepen the importance of teaching and make every effort to improve their teaching profession's professionalism.
