2015 도덕과 교육과정 개정의 쟁점 및 제언: 초등 도덕과를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider several issues of Moral Education in the 2015 revising national curriculum and suggestions to elementary Moral Education. To carry out the tasks, I suggest several issues in Moral Education in the 2015 revising national curriculum. And I provide possible solutions for these issues in elementary Moral Education that are the problems of characteristics of doing ethics, the method of extension on the relation of values, reconstructing of curriculum for practical cultivating for character, decreasing of quantity of contents and overlapping of the contents within morals & between morals and others. The results of the study are summed up as follows: Firstly, it requires definitional task about meaning of 'doing ethics' based on the essential characteristics of teaching & learning activities in Moral Education. Secondly, it requires inner coherence and logicality of the method of extension on the relation of values. Thirdly, it requires specific & detailed demonstrations in part of 'the method of teaching & learning' in the 2015 revising national curriculum for facilitating practical cultivating for character. Fourthly, it requires careful approach focused on the principle of the sequence of grade and the principle of deepen & extension of content about the problem of overlap in contents. I hope that these offer suggestions will provide development in elementary Moral Education.
