The advent of the intelligent information society and artificial intelligence education for fostering future talents is attracting the attention of the education community, and the AI graduate course for teachers is also being opened and operated. The curriculum of the AI education graduate school, which was established this year, is self-contained considering the conditions of each university. Are organized. Accordingly, this study seeks to explore the direction of curriculum development so that AI curriculum that can be more effective and enhance educational value in the graduate school of education can be developed in the future. Based on the Backward design, the AI curriculum proposed in this study includes Bloom's digital taxonomy, Bruner's spiral curriculum composition principle, and three elements such as 'content domain', 'level', and 'teacher learning method'. It was intended to consist of. Based on the direction of AI curriculum development suggested in the study, we hope that the AI curriculum of domestic graduate schools of education will be more substantial, and this framework will be revised and supplemented in the future to be used in the composition of the AI curriculum in elementary and secondary schools.

A recent increase of interests on the influence of 3D printing and low prices of 3D printers makes a high possibility of 3D printer adoption as a educational equipment in public education settings. The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy proposed '3D printing industry development strategies', and had pilot schools to include understanding of 3D printing concepts and practices in the primary, secondary and high schools' curriculum. However, even if 3D printers were provided in educational settings, the research on educational content and methods to properly react to this change is very limited. Therefore, this study reviewed various 3D modeling software because a modeling skill is a prerequisite skill to use 3D printers, and proposed a creative design spiral based teaching content that can be incorporated in elementary school contexts.

In terms of development for CMC computer science curriculum was started from 2006 year, and it was confirmed at 2013 year and adapting through 1 to 8 grade. CMC is focused on the "Develop computer fluency, not just computer literacy", "Develop thinking process skills, not just content mastery", and "Highlight the interconnectedness of knowledge, not just address a topic/subject in isolation" as a base of the curriculum. CMC have selected core factors which are Thinking process skills, Computer literacy integrated with fundamental concepts and thinking skills, Thematic integration, Spiral curriculum, and Scalability. Once CMC have been developed as a common computer curriculum by India government, both of computer training course and textbook development were conducted by government. In addition, they are trying to enforce the computer education. It suggests to Korea some significant points which were the necessity of Computer education as an independent subject and the requirement of Software education and Computational thinking as an educational content.

In this study, we analyzed he computer operating system curriculum in primary and middle schools and suggested the content framework for them through review of previous research. After surveying primary and middle school teachers, we developed the framework based on the spiral curriculum. Through these surveys, we were able to determine when and how students should be introduced to the as curriculum. The content framework focuses on two areas: understanding and practicing computer OS. Each area has 4 levels which are based on the students' grade. We suggested developing textbooks and materials about computer OS; establishing Information Science as a part of the primary school curriculum: and offering lectures about computer OS to student teachers at the National Universities of Education.

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which the contents of elementary and secondary curricula are connected and overlapped in the 'family life' area of Practical Arts(Technology & Home Economics) subjects. The procedure and results are as were like below. First, the types of criteria for analyzing curriculum contents are developed. The connectivity are classified as 'discontinuous hierarchy' and 'spiral hierarchy' and duplication are classified as 'repetition (high level of overlapping)', 'reproducing', 'deepening (intermediate level of overlapping)', 'substitution', and 'omission (low level of overlapping)'. Second, as a result of analyzing the contents of elementary and secondary curricula, the 'Human Development' area showed higher connectivity with a deepening type of duplication. The 'Safety' and the 'Lifelong Planning' concepts showed lower connectivity. Third, as a result of analyzing the achievement standards of the 2015 Curriculum, the secondary Home Economics curriculum showed a considerable increase in the level of difficulty and the volume compared to the elementary curriculum. There was low connectivity between the contents of elementary and secondary curricula in the core concepts 'Safety' and 'Lifelong Planning', an intermediate level of connectivity in 'Life Culture' and 'Management', and high connectivity in 'Development' and 'Relationship'. Also, there was a high level of duplication in the core concepts 'Safety' and 'Lifelong Planning', being classified as 'reproducing', 'substitution', and 'omission', analyzed to have low connectivity. When structuring the curriculum contents with a spiral hierarchy, one should connect the elementary and secondary school contents organically: the hierarchy with core concepts considering the different characters of constructuring knowledge in each school level, with a moderate volume, with a moderate difficulty level, with a moderate level of duplication of the contents, and with the minimum level of repetition of the same topics within the same school level.

This paper describes some major trends in primary and secondary education now. It is a selective views of significant topics with important implication for the future. These trends are summarized as follows, after examining historical development of Teaching-learning Methodology in primary and secondary education. 1. Education is seen as part of interdisciplinary world; emphasis is on relating education to the students' world, which is not compartmentalized. 2. Emphasizing students' individual growth with their own goal of lives. 3. Open-education with variable contents and purposes of education. 4. Education for all from that for some. 5. Consructivist based from behavior based. 6. Cooperative learning, peer tutoring, group projects. 7. Authentic assessment; assessment integrated with instruction. 8. The teacher is a facilitator of learning and a learner as well; students are learners and teachers in some situations; networks emerge instead of one-way forms or communication. 9. Spiral curriculum from single exposure.

Environmental education has been introduced in elementary education in the early 1980s; while, environmentally responsible behavior was not improved as much as the educators expected. This paper analyzed the contents of environment education in the textbooks and objectives of the teacher's guidebooks in the seventh national curriculum. The proportion of cognitive objectives were higher than affective ones. Environment preservation and countermeasure, natural environment, environment pollution were overemphasized in all grades. The contents of environmental education were not progressed; it did not follow the spiral curriculum. Social studies dealt with on built environment, population, industrialization and urbanization, resources that the other subjects did not much concern on. Geographic area in social studies was well fit to teach environment as a holistic approach. Environmental programs oriented geographic area within social studies could help to conduct outdoor activities in the residential areas; therefore, environmentally responsible behavior would be improved.

Purpose: Although medical curricula are now better structured for integration of biomedical sciences and clinical training, most teaching and learning activities still follow the older teacher-centric discipline-specific formats. A newer pedagogical approach, known as Collaborative Learning Cases (CLCs), was adopted in the medical school to facilitate integration and collaborative learning. Before incorporating CLCs into the curriculum of year 1 students, two pilot runs using the action research method was carried out to improve the design of CLCs. Methods: We employed the four-phase Kemmis and McTaggart's action research spiral in two cycles to improve the design of CLCs. A class of 300 first-year medical students (for both cycles), 11 tutors (first cycle), and 16 tutors (second cycle) were involved in this research. Data was collected using the 5-points Likert scale survey, open-ended questionnaire, and observation. Results: From the data collected, we learned that more effort was required to train the tutors to understand the principles of CLCs and their role in the CLCs sessions. Although action research enables the faculty to improve the design of CLCs, finding the right technology tools to support collaboration and enhance learning during the CLCs remains a challenge. Conclusion: The two cycles of action research was effective in helping us design a better learning environment during the CLCs by clarifying tutors' roles, improving group and time management, and meaningful use of technology.

Informatics curriculum revised 2015 proposed the use of block type and text type of programming language by organizing problem solving and the programming unit in a spiral. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the algorithms helps programming learning and whether there is a positive transition effect in block type programming learning to text type programming trailing learning. For 15 elementary school students was conducted block type and text type programming learning. As a result of the research, it is confirmed that writing the algorithm in a limited way can interfere with the learner's expression of thinking, but the block type programming learning has a positive transition to the text type programming learning. This study is meaningful that it suggested a plan for the programming education which is sequential from elementary school.

Medical humanities has become a third area of medical education following basic and clinical medicine. Also, in the national evaluation of medical schools, medical humanities education is an important factor. However, there are many difficulties in teaching medical humanities in medical schools. First, it is still an unfamiliar education area to medical schools and professors. Second, still, there is no consensus on the definition and contents of this education. Third, it is usually very difficult to find professors who have interest and the ability to teach medical humanities. Fourth, even medical students do not understand why they should study medical humanities and sometimes do not eagerly participate in class. This paper suggests some solutions for these problems. First, medical humanities need to be divided into sections according to how easily the contents can be accepted by existing medical education system and apply these sections in the introduction of this education gradually and in stage. One example of the division can be as follows: Group 1) medical ethics and medical law which can be most easily accepted. Group 2) medical communication skills which can be relatively easily accepted. Group 3) medical history and medical professionalism which is relatively difficult to accept, and Group 4) medical philosophy, medicine and music, medicine and literature, medicine and art, medicine and religion, etc. which is the most difficult to accept. In this paper, four things are suggested. Second, divide the contents into mendatory courses and elective courses. Third, allocate the contents throughout the four years from the first year though the fourth year according to the spiral curriculum model. This paper reports some new ideas and methods for medical humanities education. First, to stimulate students' participation, several methods were applied in a large size lecture and student projects. Second, the emphasis of writing in class and evaluation were discussed. Third, the provision of hands on experience is more emphasized than lectures. Fourth, inviting some doctors who work in non-medical areas such as journalism, pharmaceutical industry, etc is suggested. Trial and error is inevitable in this education, but it is essential in molding a good doctor, so medical professors who are interested or in charge of this medical humanities education need to share their ideas and experiences.
