As a result, establishment background and educational target have a similar distinction while 'position and time assignment in the curriculum' and 'learning range and activity content' were shown to have a little difference between them. Finally, the differences and similarities between two countries were presented for future reference of information at the actual screen of education and researches in Korea regarding the curriculum of discretional activity.
