순자의 학문관을 반영한 2022 개정 초등 도덕과 교육과정 내용 연구

Abstract

This study analyzed and supplemented the contents of the 2022 revised elementary morality curriculum based on Xunzi's academic view. Xunzi's activity period was a period of widespread social confusion and moral depravity, and there are many similarities to modern society. Just as 『Xunzi(荀子)』 put 「勸學」 at the beginning, Xunzi, who presupposed 性惡, placed importance on learning to 化性起僞. Xunzi's view of study was divided into the meaning, goal, content, and method of study. First, the meaning of study is human life itself, a discrimination force that distinguishes human beings from abstinence based on courtesy, and a process of self-discipline for socialization and personal completion. Study is a socialization that cannot be separated from human life, makes discrimination power as a human being, and is a steady cultivation process for personal completion. Next, the goal of the study is to reach the level of adulthood where humans can count the degree of all things through customs with the right attitude and right wisdom through courtesy. Here, it is said that the saint is the state of becoming like a teacher who teaches etiquette correctly, the state of having all degrees, the state of being able to count oneself, and the state of 大淸明. The contents of the study are simple knowledge accumulation found in the 『時』 and 『書』, individual moral discipline through self-reflection, character completion suitable for society, and national governance according to courtesy. The method of study referred to modeling by a teacher, direct practice, critical judgment on knowledge, and continuous repetition. When examining the contents of the 2022 revised elementary morality curriculum based on Xunzi's view of study, some supplementation is needed only in terms of content elements. However, among Xunzi's academic methods in all areas, modeling was not presented, which could not generalize all teachers as subjects of modeling, and it was difficult to put them directly into the content elements, so only the academic contents of Xunzi were supplemented. As such, Xunzi's view of study suggests that the content of the 2022 revised elementary morality curriculum should be supplemented.
