The purpose of this study is to analyze how the content elements of the environment education are displayed between related subjects in elementary school curriculum and find a desirable direction of the environment education. Major subjects that handle the components of the environment education include science, physical education, social studies, ethics, and practical arts. Among these subjects, science aims for the ecological perspective, social studies aims for rational decision making and practical behaviors, and ethics aims for the correct formation of environmental ethics and values. In the component ratio of the environment education, the domains of the natural environment, environmental ethics, environmental pollution, environmental protection and measure were higher. In the formation of content elements according to grades, the connectivity of the environment curriculum has been relatively well secured in the order of the learning about the environmental components, awareness on environmental problems and the measures and efforts to overcome environmental problems. Based on the findings above, the followings are proposed for future environment curriculum in elementary school. First, it is necessary to increase the ratio of the ecological perspective based on science and coordinate the period to suggest this contents. Second, it is necessary to complement the contents of social studies regarding green growth and sustainable development which have become global issues in the environment education. Third, Pan-curriculum and integrated discussions to prepare multi-academic and interdisciplinary environment curriculum have to be preceded and through this process it is necessary to set the target of environment education and select the content elements of the curriculum.

세계 각국은 경제성장을 위한 무한, 무차별 경쟁시대에 대처하고 국민의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해 국가차원의 대학 교육개혁을 시도하고 있다. 이러한 가운데 우리나라 대학들도 선진국의 교육시장 개방압력과 기술 보호장벽 그리고 다른 한편으로 대학교육 경쟁력의 배양 등의 우선 과제를 안고 있는 실정이다. 특히 상아탑적 대학교육의 관점이 퇴조하고 교육을 서비스 산업의 일환으로 이해하려 하는 교육산업사회의 도래와 함께 모든 이를 위한 대학교육체제인 개방대학체제가 확충되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 변화는 결국 학생소비자시대를 도래케 하여 결과적으로 학사운영에 있어서도 고객중심 학사과정(curriculum)에 의한 다학문적 접근의 보편화를 가져다 주고 있다.

Science has an essentially integrated character as a discipline that explores the natural phenomena. And the integrated science education is required to achieve the goals of science education to forster scientific literacy of all students. In this respect, we defined the basic concepts and principles that can penetrate the natural phenomena as an integrated concepts in this study, and organized the contents of integrated science curriculum around them. Integrated concept centered curriculum was intended for the 10th grade students and the breadth and depth of learning concepts were represented by presenting the achievement level of the learning concepts. Contents organization of integrated science curriculum presented in this study was meant to provide a new perspectives to the revision of the national integrated science curriculum that is currently in progress.

The purpose of this study is to critically examine science content and science education from the 'essential-holistic' perspective, in particular, among the core disciplines constituting the teacher education curriculum. In this study, we first, analyzed the definition of the 'essential-holistic' perspective, the philosophical background, and the relationship with the practices in-depth, and then, from the 'essential-holistic' perspective, conducted an inquiry into the essence of science content and science education. The results of this study are as follows: first, according to the 'essential-holistic' perspective, science content is a study that explores the science practices and systematizes the results of that inquiry. Major activities of science content include the establishment and implementation of 'science for teachers' and participation in the development of science curriculum (textbook). Second, science education according to the 'essential-holistic' perspective is a study about in-depth exploration of essential problems in science education phenomena rooted in the science practices and the practice of good teaching. More specifically, science education is a field that carries out work related to inviting, participating, and guiding students to grow into science practices (i.e. initiating into practices). The main activities of science education related to this include activities ranging from the development of the science curriculum (textbook) to teaching and evaluation (recording). In this study, we discussed important tasks to be carried out in the future based on the results of the study.

최근 컴퓨터 교육이 일반적인 방향이나 내용은 컴퓨터를 학문적으로 접근하는 '컴퓨터에 관한 교육'보다는 '컴퓨터를 자료로 도구적으로 활용하여 창의력과 문제 해결력을 높여주는 방향'으로 나아가고 있다. 이러한 관점은 실생활에 맞는 교육과정, 학습 수용자 중심의 과정과도 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 특히 제7차 교육과정부터는 전교과에 20%이상 정보통신기술(ICT)을 활용하여 교수-학습하도록 하고 있다. 본 연구는 각종 연구 자료를 기초로 여러 연구 기관의 자료를 활용하여 교육의 내용과 방법, 교육의 형태를 다양화하고 개선해 나가는 교수-학습 방법 유형에 대하여 알아보았다. 그리고 그 유형을 적용한 교수학습 과정안을 수업에 적용 후 설문 조사 및 분석을 하였다.

The national level curriculum revision is underway in Korea. A proposed model of family and consumer sciences curriculum was proposed for a public hearing, which was held in December 15, 2005. In the model curriculum, practical problem focused curriculum development approach is partially adopted. However, there is lack of understanding for the practical problem focused curriculum, therefore correct understanding of it is needed. This study tried to promote understanding of the nature of perennial practical problem that FCS deals with and of a conceptual framework of practical problem focused curriculum development. Seven competing topics related with practical problem focused curriculum are discussed for resolving misunderstandings and prejudice on it. From the discussion, it is concluded that practical problem focused curriculum is meeting the needs of students' present and future individual and family life.

Historically the value of the secondary Home Economics subject matter has been justified with the extrinsic aim to satisfy the needs of the individual and family and of the society. The purpose of this study is to investigate the educational and philosophical significance of the knowledge in Home Economics education through reasoning out its intrinsic aim. From the point of discipline-based curriculum, Home Economics as 'the structure of knowledge' constitutes the curriculum of the secondary Home Economics subject matter and contributes to understanding the family life intellectually with its unique perspective. When students understand these theoretical contents, they will internalize the core idea of Home Economics so that their cognitive perspective on family life is developed or widened. With this cognitive perspective, they are able to discover the aspect of family life from their daily life, to interpret and judge every situation properly. It is the presupposition of socially expected practical problem solving that makes Home Economics education intrinsically meaningful. In conclusion, the secondary Home Economics curriculum needs to be reinterpreted or reorganized as the structure of knowledge, not as fragmentary informations or facts, through which the broad cognitive perspective on family life is developed and Home Economist's mode of thinking is transmitted.

Based on the recent consensus on the need for software education, software education has become mandatory in universities in Korea. However, the suitability of class contents and the relationship between class contents and learner satisfaction has not been fully discussed. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed the suitability of the contents used in the basic software education for the humanities students from the learner's perspective. For this purpose, three types of curriculum, which are 'computer science', 'usage of tools, and humanities in the digital world' and 'computational thinking', were compared using the lecture assessment questionnaire. As a result, we found that the learners evaluated positively over the curriculum that focused on the use of tools, the humanities approach, or the thinking ability rather than the theoretical contents of computer science. We also found that the subjects related to computer science could not give high satisfaction due to their unfamiliarity, relatively low academic value was given to the tool-centered curriculum, and fatigue was expressed in discussion-based thinking ability education.

통합학문을 구성해야 한다는 시대적 요구가 점차 많아지고 있다. 이러한 요구는 둘 이상의 학문이 융합하여 시너지의 효과를 발생하거나 창의적인 문제해결 혹은 그 이상의 새로운 결과물을 창출하는 목적을 가지고 있다. 이는 궁극적으로 합침을 통하여 전혀 다른 새로운 것을 지향하는 통섭을 목적으로 하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 교수 학습은 교수자와 학습자의 커뮤니케이션 과정이며 교사와 학생간의 원활한 커뮤니케이션이 이루어지지 않고는 교육의 본질적 목표를 달성하기 어렵다. 교수 학습의 연결은 커뮤니케이션이며, 이를 효율적으로 실행 가능하게 해 주는 것이 매체라 할 수 있다. 교수자와 학습자의 관계를 이어주는 커뮤니케이션, 매체와 인간이 하나로 통섭되는 매체의 인간화, 매체를 통한 커뮤니케이션의 확장을 통하여 사용자와 매체, 사용자와 사용자, 매체와 매체의 상호작용이 이루어지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 측면에서 인간 매체 간 통섭적 커뮤니케이션에 근거한 유러닝을 전망해 봄으로써 학습자 중심의 교육을 실현하는 관점을 제시하고자 한다.

The curriculum of integrated social studies is not conceptually established, but various forms pursuing so-called perfect integrated subject have appeared from elementary school to high school. But we cannot find out desirable integration in the elementary school though the apparent goal is to integrate all kinds of social concepts into one unit. The current method of integration has some problems over advantages people initially expected by integration. It is problematic in that students learn fragmental knowledges of geography without capturing the whole geographical concept structure or obtaining their own geographical viewpoint. Therefore, we purpose to reinterpret integration of social studies and reorganize the current textbook into the right direction under the assumption that simple mixture of knowledges is far from our goal of true integration. For this purpose, we suggest a new method for social studies as an integrated subject. Instead of providing knowledges unrelated to each other into one bundle, it helps students to see the real world in his own knowledge framework equipped with geographical viewpoint. The text we claim will show students that geography consists of three key concepts: physical environment, man and environment, and spatial structure. With this text, they will have an easy access to the relationships between key concepts and details, and between geographical concepts and similar concepts from other disciplines. The proposal contributes to both upcoming textbook development and classroom teaching by eliminating problems in the current social studies teaching.
