2009 改定 敎育課程에서 漢文科 位相과 새 漢文科 敎育課程의 方向

Abstract

This paper researched the status of Chinese character following the operation of the curriculum revised in 2009, and put forward the way of Chinese character curriculum which will be revised afterwards. Chinese character had kept certain number of modules for necessary subjects without any special change from the third curriculum, which was organised as an independent subject at first, to sixth curriculum. However, since seventh revision, Chinese character has been operated by the minimum modules rather than the maximum modules, changing into an optional subject. Since then, the status of Chinese character has been lowered. The survey about the management of the revised curriculum in 2009 was carried out with the Chinese character teachers. As a result, more than 60% of them experienced the reduction of the modules of Chinese character course in the organisation of school curriculum. According to this, it was revealed that 30% of the teachers have been required to transfer to another subject or even there were some cases of failing to renew the contract in case of temporary teachers, who are irregularly employed. These situations cause disadvantages to Chinese character teachers comparing to the teachers of other subjects in a same school in terms of the positional stability or the treatment. Because of this, many of them tend to feel anxious psychologically. In the 2009 Chinese character curriculum, which is revised on the basis of 2007 curriculum, firstly, the standard of accomplishment in middle school was integrated. Secondly, the elements of study in Middle school Chinese character, Highschool Chinese characterⅠand Highschool Chinese character Ⅱ changed into the standards of accomplishment, and simultaneously put them in order. Thirdly, the content structure was expanded to three kinds of area 'Reading, Culture, and Chinese character knowledge' in total, largely dividing it into two kinds of areas 'Reading and Culture'. 2009 revised curriculum have more improvement comparing to the previous curriculums(2007 revised Chinese character curriculum and 7th curriculum) im various aspects. However, there were several points requiring to redeem. Firstly, 2009 revised Chinese character curriculum doesn't have 'reference book' so that it requires to refer 2007 revised Chinese character curriculum. Therefore, it was proved that 'reference book', or sort of things are needed. Secondly, the educational circumstances changing largely, there is the necessity to develop an area about 'humanity'. Following this, the big field and the middle one have to change. Thirdly, the quantity of the standard of accomplishment should be modified appropriately according to the reduction of the organised modules.
