사회과 교육 내용 구성 원리와 실제에 대한 탐색- 사회과와 사회과학의 관계 설정을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The big issue of contents construction in social studies(especially social studies in a narrow sense, which don't include geography and history) is how to relate social studies and social science. Generally, the relationships of social studies and social science are three types. First, social studies is the simplification of social science. This type of social studies emphasizes the concept and generalization of social science(the substantive knowledge of social science). Second, social studies is the imitation of social science. This type of social studies emphasizes the inquiry and thinking process of social science(the syntactic knowledge of social science). Third, social studies is the application of social science. This type of social studies emphasizes decision-making, value & attitude, and action that need to solve the problem of everyday life. But these three types of social studies are compatible in contents construction because concept & generalization, inquiry & thinking process, and controversial problem solving should be composed together in the curriculum and textbook of social studies in order to educate the citizen as an informed and reasoned decision-maker and performer. This treatise is not only to insist this statement but also to show the case of curriculum, textbook, teaching analysis as the real demonstration of the statement.
