2022 개정 초등역사 교육과정의 방향과 특징

Abstract

The 2022 revised elementary history curriculum can be seen as a curriculum developed in efforts to secure the identity of elementary history education by organizing meaningful contents suitable for elementary school students in consideration of their connection with secondary school. In this article, we looked at the direction, characteristics, limitations, and possibilities of the 2022 revised elementary history curriculum. The direction and characteristics of the amendment are as follows. First, the contents were selected and organized around the concept of history, which is the basis of history learning, so that the meaning of history could be understood and interested in history learning. In particular, he met the past in his daily life and started learning history based on the student's daily life experience and recognized himself as a historical being. Second, the local history that selected and organized the contents by dividing them into regions was integrated into “regions.” Third, the historical narrative was newly constructed from the stories of various people's lives through life history in a huge discourse centered on the state or ethnicity. Fourth, it was intended to realize the essential properties of history learning by strengthening the function of history exploration using various materials. Fifth, achievement standards were presented comprehensively and abstractly so that teachers could autonomously reorganize and teach the curriculum. Despite these changes, various tasks remain, such as the composition of mechanical integrated members, the selection of achievement standards, organizational problems, and the introduction of world history. In order for the revision of the curriculum to become a meaningful change, it is important to develop textbooks that make good use of the purpose of the revision of the 2022 revised elementary history curriculum. We hope that textbooks that embody historical narratives will be developed where elementary school students can understand the meaning of history and meet the lives of people in the past in detail.
