Today the computerization in overall civil life is globally progressing, and software plays a central role in all interdisciplinary areas of society. These changes of information environments lead to the change of values and paradigm shift, and the change of Korean educational policies is also happening. As human-machine interaction is becoming ubiquitous, code literacy is going to play an important role before long. Despite these transitions, information education in universities in Korea focuses on just driving application programs. In this paper, we explore overall educational system and curriculum of universities in Korea. And we present educational factors corresponding to educational levels and contents. Presented five factors coupling three educational contents and three educational levels may be dedicated to design curriculum.

The 2015 revised mathematics curriculum encourages students to use graphs in newspapers and the Internet as materials when teaching graphs, and to experience a series of statistical problem-solving processes that collect, classify, organize, graph and interpret data. The graphs that the students learn through traditional textbooks were a single type of graphs. In particular, the graphs of the 5th and 6th grade groups were only increased in numbers, but the basic concepts were repeated in the 3rd and 4th grades. Fortunately, from the 2009 revision curriculum, it is possible to select the graph suitable for the situation while comparing the characteristics of some graphs. In most cases, the graphs used in the real world are presented in the form of a compounded infographics. The purpose of this study is to analyze and analyze the manifestations of information processing competence elements emphasized in the 2015 revised curriculum through the statistical project class using the informal graphic in the fifth grade of elementary school. And we suggested a concrete class plan.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the teaching of statistical graphs according to elementary mathematics curriculum. To do this, we set up three research questions as follows. First, what is the change in achievement standards related to the teaching of statistical graphs in elementary mathematics curriculum? Second, what is the change in the teaching of the drawing of statistical graphs in elementary mathematics curriculum? Third, what is the change in the teaching of understanding of statistical graphs in elementary mathematics curriculum? For the first research question, we analyzed the achievement standards related to the teaching of the statistics of the 2015 revised curriculum from the first curriculum. For the second research question, we analyzed how to provide students with the opportunity to draw graphs(number of drawings) and whether to present the basic frame of the graphs(frame provided). For the third research question, we analyzed questions in the textbooks based on the graph understanding; 'reading data', 'finding the relation between data', 'interpreting data', 'understanding the situation'. As a result of the analysis, the achievement standard in the curriculum has changed in the direction of fostering statistical thinking, and it has been changed to emphasize the interpretation of the graph so as to make the graph drawing easy. However, 'interpreting data' and 'understanding the situation' were still lacking.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the 'Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education' filed by the ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) Board on February 2, 2015 and adopted on January 11, 2016. Six concepts central to information literacy in Framework and four main theories or models (i.e., threshold concepts, metaliteracy, Backward Design, and Liminal Space) underpinning the Framework were analyzed. The Framework provides conceptual or descriptive approach. In addition, the Framework is not designed to be implemented in a single information literacy session in a student's academic career. Instead, it is intended to be systematically integrated into the student's academic program at variety of levels. This study recommends curricular development and assessment methods supporting Framework as a further study.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the science history materials presented in middle school 'Science' textbook according to the 2015 revised curriculum. The subjects of this study were 14 middle school 'Science' textbooks. The analysis used the three-dimensional framework. The results of analysis show that the number of science history materials presented in textbooks tends to increase as the grade goes up. It was also found that science history materials were presented in a specific unit for each grade. The three-dimensional analysis of science history materials showed that conceptual-fundamental-discovery/device types were most commonly presented in all grades. At the instruction context level, the conceptual context was the most common, and the basic role was the main at the role level. The discovery/device type was the most common type of presentation. The results of the study show that the science history materials presented in science textbooks were concentrated in some areas. Also, the instruction context and role were concentrated in some factors in terms. This suggests that various science history materials need to be developed in the future. It is also necessary to explore concrete methods to ensure that science history materials presented in textbooks can be used in various roles in different contexts.

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 third national curriculum had the characteristics to establish guidelines in history textbooks with the basic direction to implement the charter of national Education. At that time, the object of the history education was 'the harmony with the development of the individuals and national development' which was the same that the authorized government aimed at. But the characters and the purpose were repeated without any criticism. Since the third national curriculum was presented in Korean education, the aims of education proposed the 'Korean style democracy'. Essential aims of education are more important than any political issues because academic research is not reflected on nationalism. This trend which is flowing in the education of Korea was strengthened through the education authorities in the statements of 'Deployment of the Governing' or 'guidelines': Especially, the idea and the history education. Despite the curriculum has been amended several times, these problems are not to be gotten rid of. The recently revised curriculum guidelines for history textbook description should improve and find the way to develope the history thinking of students.

The goal of this study is to examine the Integrated Science and Science Laboratory Experiments of the 2015 revised curriculum applied since 2018, and to explore ways to improve these two subjects in preparation for the 2022 revised curriculum. A survey was conducted by randomly sampling high schools across the country, with a total of 192 science teachers participating. In addition, 12 high school science teachers were selected as focus group, and in-depth interviews were conducted to investigate ways to restructure common science courses for the next curriculum. Main research results include that most schools were operated in 6~8 units for Integrated Science, and the teachers in charge of Integrated Science per class averaged 2~3 over the three years. For Science Laboratory Experiments, it has operated for a total of two semesters, one unit per semester, and it was found that several science teachers are in charge of Science Laboratory Experiments to fill the insufficient number of hours regardless of major. In the in-depth interview, science teachers argued that Integrated Science should be reduced and restructured by strengthening key competencies in preparation for the high school credit system. Based on the research results, ways to reorganize Integrated Science focused on big ideas, ways to construct common science courses based on fundamental science concepts that can guide elective courses, the necessity of career guidance through common science courses, and the necessity of strengthening teacher professionalism for teaching interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary subjects were suggested.
