The objectives of the study were to analyse the content of general agricultural education to 2007~2015 revised national curriculum and to present the problems and organization of general agricultural education in elementary·secondary schools through the review of literature and the content analysis. The analysis criteria were ‘understanding of agriculture’, ‘our living and agriculture’, ‘natural resources and environment’, ‘animal production’, ‘plant production’, ‘scientific agriculture’, ‘agricultural products processing and distribution’, ‘agricultural policy’, ‘agriculture and career’ domains. The major findings of the study were as follows; First, the problems of general agricultural education in elementary·secondary schools were to limit the agricultural contents to ‘technical world’ domain in ‘practical arts(technology·home economics)’ subject. Accordingly, the contents of ‘scientific agriculture’ domain only were presented to ‘technology·home economics’ subject in secondary schools and the contents of ‘understanding of agriculture’, ‘agricultural products processing and distribution’, and ‘agricultural policy’ domains were not presented to ‘practical arts’ subject in elementary schools . Second, the contents of ‘our living and agriculture’, ‘animal production’, and ‘plant production’ domains were gradually reduced to ‘practical arts’ subject in elementary schools and the contents of ‘agriculture and career’ domains were removed to 2015 revised national curriculum. Third, ‘practical arts(technology·home economics)’ curriculum needs to make the new domain related agriculture, to present the contents of general agricultural education in this domain, to organize the organization of the contents of ‘understanding of agriculture’, ‘agricultural products processing and distribution’, ‘agricultural policy’ domains, and to extend the contents of ‘our living and agriculture’, ‘natural resources and environment’, ‘animal production’, ‘plant production’ domains. Fourth, ‘technology·home economics’ subject in secondary schools need to contain the contents of ‘scientific agriculture’ domain as well as overall contents of agriculture.
