The purpose of this study was to explore the use of the city biodiversity index (CBI) as a tool to improve biodiversity education for urban students. For use in educational purpose, the CBI was modified and supplemented to devise an Educational CBI, and its ability to facilitate the teaching of biodiversity topics was assessed. An Educational CBI that can be used at the high school level was successfully developed. Evaluation criteria were selected based on previous studies of the existing CBI and domestic circumstances, and the relationship between the index and biodiversity topics was revealed in detail. An examination of the relevance of the Educational CBI with the current biodiversity curriculum framework showed it to be highly relevant at the level of investigation and evaluation as a tool for measuring urban biodiversity. Furthermore, an examination of the relevance between the CBI for Education and the achievement standards of the general high school subjects of the 2022 revised curriculum indicated high relevance in environmental and science subjects. As an example, the city of Cheongju obtained 82-85 of 112 points in an evaluation using the Educational CBI, confirming the monitoring function of the index. Overall, the Educational CBI offers significant benefits as a tool for both biodiversity education and urban environmental education.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the contents of education for sustainable development are reflected in the middle school environment curriculum revised in 2007, and to propose how to integrate content for improving sustainable development education. For this, I analyzed the 2007 Revised Environment Curriculum for Middle Schools by using social network analysis which is the useful methodology to understand the relations of contents. Social Network analysis is a useful tool to excavate the forms of structure or relationship and to explain the characteristics of the system that arise through relationships or to explain the units composing the system. When sustainable development education was examined from 3 points of view, it included environmental sustainability, economical sustainability, and social sustainability. I used the 2007 Revised Environment Curriculum for Middle Schools and manual of curriculum for analysis. The results are 1) The biodiversity conservation and energy efficiency have taken most important positions. 2) In case of economical sustainability pillar, sustainable production had been emphasized. 3) In the case of the social sustainability pillar, health improvement are considered significant. 4) The efforts of trying to approach sustainable development education as an integrated curriculum is week. Integrated themes based on the results were developed. Five main themes were the energy and climate change, water resource and environmental pollution, sustainable village and sustainable food production, sustainable city and sustainable production, sustainable tourism and biodiversity. I hope these could function as theme of integrated-content. Based on the results of study, I propose joint researches on scope of sustainable development for environmental education.

This study analyzed content on education for sustainable development in middle school science curriculum of $6^{th}$, $7^{th}$, 2007-revised and 2009-revised. Analyses criteria were developed based on literature reviews. This study developed 8 criteria such as health, climate change, urbanization and rural development, water, biodiversity and ecosystem, energy, disaster reduction and management. The results showed that 6th middle school science curriculum has 4 criteria, $7^{th}$ has 2 criteria, 2007-revised has 8 criteria, and 2009-revised has 7 criteria. This study suggests the need for developing systemized teaching material on education for sustainable development that can be integrated in the science curriculum by pursuing the following tasks: First, the goal of education for sustainable development and its need should be stated in the science curriculum. Second, the class content, themes, objectives, teaching-learning programs on education for sustainable development should be produced. Third, within science curriculum, the content should deal with perspectives and topics, and learning goal must pursue value education.

이 연구의 목적은 2009개정 교육과정에서 과학과와 타 교과목들 사이에 제시된 성취기준의 중복성 문제를 살펴보고, 문제 해결을 위한 시사점과 개선 방안을 제안하는데 있다. 분석을 위한 내용 범주는 '우리 몸과 건강', '생물과 환경', '생식과 발', '생물의 다양성', '기술의 세계', 그리고 '자연재해' 등이고, 이들 범주에 제시된 과학과의 성취기준들이 실과, 사회, 체육, 도덕 교과와 중복되어 있다. 이 중 '우리 몸과 건강', '생물과 환경', '생물의 다양성', '자연재해' 범주의 성취기준은 교과목간 중복성이 높지 않은 것으로 분석되며, 이는 관련 교과목들이 공통적인 주제를 다루고 있지만 교육과정에 진술된 세부적인 성취기준들이 해당 교과목의 본질적인 특성을 비교적 잘 반영하여 분산되어 있기 때문이다. 이에 비해 '생식과 발생', '기술의 세계' 범주의 성취기준은 타 교과목과 중복성의 정도가 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 문제들에 대처하기 위해서는 관련 교과목들의 성취기준을 하나로 합치거나 통합하는 것과 같은 해결 방법을 모색해 보아야 하며, 또한 관련 교과교육 전문가들을 중심으로 성취기준의 적절성에 대한 범교과적인 논의와 조정을 통해 각 교과목의 정체성에 부합하는 성취기준 개발을 위해 노력해야 할 것으로 본다.
