공공 역사 기반 지역사 교육과정 개발 방향과 적용

Abstract

Along with the popularization of history education, new local history is drawing attention, and new horizons of local history research can be found throughout public history. Public history encompasses all forms of public historical narratives. The public history-based local history curriculum pursues citizen-oriented as a subject of historical activities through the development of identity as a local citizen and the learning of areas connected to one's life as a democratic citizen. Public history-based history also meets oral research methods that record testimony and describe history through interviews with participants or witnesses who have experienced past events or historical processes. In addition, student-led historical exploration will be possible as students take the initiative in exploring villages and schools. It is necessary to introduce a local curriculum system while forming a curriculum for local history through public history. A local curriculum means transferring the authority to organize and operate curriculum from the national level to the local community/schools/teachers, and establishing a system in which content and methods can be selected and operated in accordance with the local level. As an example of the application of public history-based local history curriculum, an oral history project performed by the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education and the development of educational materials for modern and contemporary history in the region are presented. The oral history project focused on the oralist methodology, and applied various activities such as building archives of school history, oral life history, and liquidation of remnants of Japanese colonial rule. With the direction and examples of the development of a public history-based curriculum for local history, the possibility and meaning of a new curriculum for local history were identified. On the other hand, there are limitations or improvements to the public history-based local history curriculum. First of all, it is necessary to develop a curriculum to systematically promote a public history-based local history curriculum based on citizen-oriented and pluralistic views by elementary, middle and high school levels.
