고등학교 <통합사회>의 사회정의 관련 내용 분석과 사회정의 교육에의 시사점

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the social justice-related content in the 2015 revised curriculum and textbooks and to propose implications for social justice education under the awareness that various views of justice discussed in modern pluralistic society are not sufficiently reflected in the curriculum and textbooks of <Integrated Social Studies>. In this study, we examined the recently discussed views of justice such as egalitarian liberalism, libertarianism, communitarianism, justice that emphasizes recognition and difference, and the capabilities approach, and used them as a reference for the analysis of curricula and textbooks. In addition, the relevant achievement standards and explanations of high school <Integrated Social Studies> subject in the 2015 revised curriculum as well as related texts, inquiry activities, and reading materials of the five types of textbooks were analyzed. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, in curricula and textbooks, the meaning and criteria of justice were mainly described in the context of distribution. Second, in the curriculum and textbooks, the view of justice is mainly centered on the liberal view of justice and the communitarian view of justice, and these two views of justice are described from opposing perspectives. Third, in the inquiry activities and reading materials of the textbooks, there were some examples of the application of the concept of justice that emphasizes recognition and difference and the concept of capabilities. Based on this, the following implications can be made for social justice education in social studies. First, when describing the meaning and criteria of justice, it is necessary to go beyond the concept of distributive justice and present the concept of justice from various perspectives. Second, when describing the view of justice, it is necessary to present not only the liberal view of justice and the communitarian view of justice, but also the views of justice that are currently being discussed, such as the view of justice that emphasizes recognition and difference, and the capabilities approach. Third, when discussing the view of justice, various social phenomena and social problems can be presented as examples and analyzed in a multifaceted and in-depth manner, providing an opportunity for students to explore social justice from a critical perspective.
