Discovering the Main Issues and Feedback Loops Underlying the Education-related ODA Projects

(Purpose) The purpose of this study is to analyze first, what are the important issues surrounding the education ODA project in Korea and how it can be categorized. This can be said to be related to the subject classification of education ODA projects. Second, considering these issues, the purpose of the study is to grasp the link between the issues required for future education ODA projects from the perspective of policy makers. (Design/methodology/approach) This is related to the search of the feedback loop. In order to achieve this research objective, this study adopts a somewhat different research method from existing studies. First, in order to achieve the first research objective, we apply the network text analysis method for the papers related to education ODA project among domestic journals (KCI) published in Korea from January 1, 2000 to October 31, 2020. To achieve the second research objective, the link between various issues surrounding education ODA is analyzed based on the system dynamics method and some important loops are discovered. (Findings) As a result of analysis, 5 subject categories, 2 reinforcement loops, and 2 balanced loops were found. These loops can be said to be the conditions that policy makers who promote education ODA projects should consider for successful policy implementation. (Research implications or Originality) It is hoped that this research could make some significant and substantial contributions for the policy makers to be able to improve the current system regarding the ODA projects, especially with regard to the education-related ODA mechanism and structure.
