A Study on the Development of the Mental Power Education System in Military Schools

This study analyzes the mental power education system in military schools under the Ministry of National Defense and proposes measures for its improvement. Through theoretical and prior research, the concept of mental power and its relationship with mental power education were examined. Tyler’s framework—focusing on objectives, content, methods, and environment—and Bloom’s taxonomy were used for qualitative analysis, with a review of the education system’s structure and leadership development curriculum. The findings reveal that while the system follows Ministry guidelines, its objectives are unclear, teaching methods lack standardization, and limited instructional time reduces its effectiveness. To address these issues, this study recommends establishing clear objectives, balancing lectures with practical exercises, improving content in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domains, and adopting discussion-based and cooperative learning methods. These improvements are expected to enhance mental power education’s effectiveness, strengthening military spirit and leadership capabilities.
