개정 국어과 교육과정의 텍스트 선정 및 배열의 타당성 연구

Abstract

The revised Korean Language Curriculum emphasizes the activities of actual text production and acceptance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validation of the kind and alignment of text in each grade, which is presented as 'level and scope of text' in the National Curriculum. The criteria for text selection employed in revised Korean Language curriculum is the representativeness for each language uses, perfectness as a text, helpfulness in the individual development, and the fulfillment of the social requirements. It was also intended to align the selected texts from ones that familiar to learners and detailed to ones that unfamiliar to learners and abstract and from ones that informal to ones that formal, however to allow to align repeatedly ones that have high educational value. The findings of this study, however, showed that the kinds of selected texts neither secure the representativeness of each goals for language use nor have perfectness. The alignments of each grade also did not follow the principles,resulting in the absence of sequence and continuity in organization of educated contents. It is considered that, in order to fix the text-based curriculum, the revision and supplement based on more stationary studies on classification and analysis, and establishment of criteria for text selection and alignment are needed.
