초등학교 인성교육의 핵심교과로서의 도덕과 교육의 위상과 지향점 탐구

Abstract

In the 2015 curriculum of moral education, moral education is defined as a core subject of character education. The main purpose of this paper is to obtain the basis for this. Therefore, it is examined the overall characteristics of elementary school character education. And it is examined thoroughly the discussion of character and character education in moral education curriculum. Through this process, it is possible to secure the grounds for asserting that moral subjects are core subjects of character education through ‘the basic character’ and ‘practicality’. First, the basic character corresponds to four core values of moral subjects: sincerity, consideration, justice, and responsibility. This is closely related to the concept of character education as defined in “Promotion Law of Character Education”(PLCE). Meanwhile, character education is characterized by subject integration and value integration. It can be implemented through practice in life. By ensuring practicality, it is possible to establish a field of integration. Specifically, it should start from the life world of the student and meet with the student's experience. And it can help to convince students that their efforts and practice can lead to positive outcomes.
