Mathematics curriculum reform is very important, and it can be understood well by power. This paper uses the extended Foucault's power theory as foundations to view mathematics curriculum reform. The research's case is China's ongoing mathematics curriculum reform. Through analyzing the power relationships in China's ongoing mathematics curriculum reform, the paper thinks that power's balance is very important in mathematics curriculum design, because it will affect the designed curriculum.

본 연구는 향후 있을 누리과정 개편에 앞서 자칫 재현될 수 있는 문제점을 사전에 방지하기 위한 선례분석으로서 1960년 대 이후 핀란드 교육과정개편의 역사와 절차를 살펴보고 거기에서 교훈을 얻고자 하였다. 이를 위해 핀란드 국가교육위원회(Finnish National Board of Education)가 제공한 자료를 중심으로 문헌연구를 실시하였다. 먼저 핀란드 교육과정 개편의 역사를 고찰하기에 앞서 심층적 이해를 돕기 위해 핀란드 교육체제 개혁의 역사를 10년 주기로 살펴보았다. 이어서 1968년 이후 진행된 핀란드 교육과정 개편의 흐름에 대해 알아보았다. 마지막으로 2012년부터 시작된 "2012-2016/7 핀란드 교육과정 개편"을 기간, 참여대상, 절차를 중심으로 살펴보았다. 연구결과에 따르면 핀란드 교육과정 개편은 오랜 숙고기간, 아래에서 위로의, 모든 과정이 공개된 것을 특징으로 하였다. 핀란드 교육과정 개편은 다름 아닌 민주주의 실현의 장으로서 전 국민이 참여하는 국가적 이벤트로서 오랫동안 자리매김을 해오고 있었다. 이 글은 정책적 특성만이 아니라 교육적 특성이 균형감 있게 공존할 수 있는 누리과정의 개편에서 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The United States curriculum reform movement has recently started in each area of science education. The initiatives on curriculum reform stem from a notion that the low rate of science curricula offered in schools has been a serious problem. The schools in the United States are not only facing a lack of offerings within science curricula but also low enrollment in science courses, especially in physics, chemistry, and earth science. This trend resulted in low performances on international achievement tests including TIMSS and PISA. This paper introduces the efforts to solve existing problems through curriculum reform; including ChemCom, BioCom, EarthComm, and Active Physics. In this paper, a discussion is presented to show how the curricula can help address the status quo in science education. More specifically, this paper focuses on curriculum reform in high school earth science (EarthComm), providing a closer look at the scope and sequence of the reform movement. EarthComm was chosen because it was released based on the development of the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996). Consequently, EarthComm became a curriculum that espoused the visions of the Standards, which has been guiding the reform of the US curriculum. At the end of this paper, two research outcomes of the EarthComm curriculum implementation in schools are discussed in terms of student learning and differences from conventional curricula.

근래에 과학교육과정의 개혁에서 쟁점화 된 내용이 무엇인지 알아보기 위해 ERIC 자료에 수록된 논문을 중심으로 조사하였다. 과학교육과정 개혁에 관련된 논문수는 70년대부터 시작하여 90년대 말에는 최고에 이르고 있기 때문에 분석 대상 논문을 최근 10년간의 132편으로 하였다. 두 편이상의 논문이 수록된 18종의 잡지에 전체의 약 66% 의 논문들이 보고되었다. 개혁의 쟁점들을 '개혁 주제', '개혁 소개', '개혁 비판과 전망' 으로 분류하였고, 개혁 주제는 구체적으로 '교사', '과학적 소양', '통합과 교수', '개혁 과정' 으로 구별되었다. '교사'관련 내용은 주로 교사들의 믿음과 신념에 대한 것이고, '과학적 소양'은 소양개념 정의의 불확실성, '통합과 교수'는 통합의 어려움과 관련된 교수 문제, '개혁 과정'은 개혁 참여 인사들의 개인적이거나 집단적 힘의 조정 문제, '비판'은 과학교육 기준의 현장 구현과 과학의 본질에 관련되어 있음이 밝혀졌다.

This article describes the major themes to change in historical and philosophical perspectives of science education that lead the US and Korean science curriculum reform movements since 1957. Inquiry teaching and criticism of teaching science as inquiry in the late 1950s and the 1960s, Science-Technology-Society (STS) Curricula, and Science Literacy and the 1980s science literacy crisis are discussed. In the US, three major curricular projects as responses to the scientific literacy crisis are exemplary such as the Project 2061 sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Project on Scope, Sequence, and Coordination (SS&C) initiated by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), and the National Science Education Standards (NSES) published by the National Research Council. To identify how each set of national content standards differ, we compared specific content standards related to the theory of plate tectonics in Earth and Space science in grades 9-12 over the three national standards: Benchmarks of AAAS, NSES of the NRC, and SS&C of the NSTA. Against this historical background of the US science education reform movements, the curriculum reform movements in Korea is briefly discussed. In general, Korean science curriculum reform movements have reflected and resembled the recommendations of the US reform movements. In addition, it is important to note that throughout the history of curriculum revision in Korea, there have been continuing pendulum swings between a theoretical, discipline-centered curriculum and a liberal, humanistic, and student-centered curriculum, which pays more attention to students in terms of their interest and psychological preparedness. In conclusion, the sixth and seventh national science curriculum revisions reflect rather a student-centered movement by reducing technical and sophisticated topics, taking constructivism learning theory into consideration, and adding more STS related topics.

We performed this survey to hear Yeungnam University Graduates' opinion on the current curriculum for the purpose of creating an education system of “practically competent person” instead of simply “competent person”. Questionnaire was made up of 13 multiple-choice questions and 1 descriptive question by Curriculum Reform Task Force of Yeungnam University. The survey was administered to randomly chosen 50 graduates by e-mail on August 1, 2003 and was collected between August 1 and August 10, 2003 for the analysis of respondent’s reply. (omitted)

The Hong Kong mathematics curriculum has launched its reform in recent years. It was the first time that a holistic review of syllabi from Primary 1 through Secondary 7 was made. The curriculum development agency also decided to base the reform on sound pedagogical foundations. That was assisted with academic research where the views of various stakeholders were investigated in detail. Surveys were conducted with students, parents, teachers, employers, university professors, and curriculum designers and they give a full picture of mathematics teaching and learning in Hong Kong. The rich data collected should shed light on the development of mathematics curriculum in other regions with similar socio-cultural and educational settings.

The mathematics curriculum reform has been carried out for almost five years (2004-2008) in the mainland China. But the teaching and learning in mathematics classrooms still are traditional in nature. Analyzing from the cultural angle, some reasons can be found: the orientation of teachers' role, teaching, and learning, the relationships between a teacher and the students, understanding the mathematics, and examination.

The purpose of this study is to investigate various mathematics education improvement or reform movements of Western Europe countries (United Kingdom, Germany, etc.) and the United States of America, to see the effects of those movements on Korean mathematics education circle, and to find a direction of Korean mathematics curriculum design. The third Korean mathematics curriculum was most affected by the new mathematics movement of the United States of America. This movement was emphasizing abstract structure, logical rigorousness and discovery learning of mathematics, which was fired from late fifties. Korean mathematics education circle imported the new mathematics early seventies from USA, but serious problems had been found at that time in USA. This study has pointed out that new math oriented Korean mathematics curriculum was not proper and the new mathematics itself was disastrous for most Korean students' learning. The study also points out that they hurried too much introducing the new mathematics and publishing new mathematics oriented textbooks but they had not sufficient teacher training programs. In our future mathematics curriculum reform, we have to remember such a historical lesson.

The amendment to the Higher Education Act enforced on February 20, 2024, abolishing the traditional 2-year pre-med and 4-year medical school programs, marks a significant shift in medical education in Korea. The academic system reform is expected to be a driving force for large-scale curriculum revision, presenting an opportunity to introduce new educational innovations not only in curriculum but also in student assessment and support systems. Addressing these challenges requires collaborative efforts among educators, students, and communities to navigate the evolving landscape of medical education effectively. In this regard, I will illustrate the recruitment and development of educators to implement the reform and the collaboration between communities and medical schools to innovate medical education.
