<통합사회> 교육과정 운영에 대한 교사 인식과 연수 요구

Abstract

The social studies curriculum has a strong tradition of segregation according to the academic system. Despite the long efforts to integrate social studies, there has never been a satisfactory level of integration. The ‘Integrated Social Studies’ of high school according to the 2015 revised national curriculum is a course that integrates to a higher level than compared to the past. Therefore, a lot of effort is needed for successful positioning of the subject. In this study, 652 social studies teachers were surveyed. The results of the survey showed that many teachers avoided to take the <Integrated Social Studies>. But teachers with less than 15 years of teaching experience and teachers with experience in traditional high school Common social studies appear to be willing to take charge of the <Integrated Social Studies>. If teachers with these characteristics are likely to take charge of the <Integrated Social Studies> in 2018, it is necessary to try to support them in practice. The Ministry of Education and the local education authorities should support teachers' efforts by providing in-service training that meets the needs of teachers and providing various teaching and learning materials.
