2007년 개정 초등미술과 교육과정의 검토와 논의

Abstract

The Seventh Curriculum underwent a series of revision efforts that were driven by the introduction of the five-weekday system, demands to revise and supplement it, and the society's needs for cultural and educational purposes in art education. It's only natural that curriculums should try to meet the social and cultural needs that are increasingly changing and complex. Living in the floods of visual culture today, we need to equip ourselves with a right understanding of it and critical views. In that sense, the revised art curriculum does reflect the efforts to embrace a new academic tendency called visual culture. Emphasizing visual culture, setting goals by the grades are included in the revised curriculum. New art culture is major of appreciation and the process of expressions is key of expressions. To prevent confusion on applying, the framework of the contents is maintained to the current curriculum. However, dividing the content systems into the areas of aesthetic experiences, expressions and appreciation needs more reviews and researches. In the curriculum, aesthetic experiences are used as a smaller concept as part of the content system. The revised curriculum will have its own meaning only after it's exercised in school beyond the stage of promulgation in documents. Therefore, it's important to provide practical training sessions to the teachers before enforcement.
