2022 개정 사회과 교육과정의 인권교육 관련 내용 분석

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the content related to human rights education in the 2022 revised social studies curriculum and explore significant changes and future improvement directions. To achieve this, the study extracted and analyzed human rights-related content from the sections ‘Characters and Objectives’, ‘Content Structure and Achievement Standards’ and ‘Teaching-Learning and Evaluation’ presented in the 2022 revised social studies curriculum documents. A comparison with the human rights education in the 2015 revised social studies curriculum was also conducted to understand the changes brought about by the curriculum revision. The analysis revealed that human rights education content was covered in most subjects within the social studies curriculum, but there were variations in the quantity and quality of the content depending on the subject. Compared to the 2015 revised curriculum, the 2022 version showed increases in the inclusion of human rights education elements in the achievement standards and in the achievement standards that involve understanding human rights-related issues and seeking solutions to address them. However, the specific human rights education content elements emphasized in each area of social studies varied. Based on these findings, the study suggests that the organization of content from a human rights perspective should be more precise. The content categories and domains of human rights education should be appropriately distributed across different school levels, and the reflection of human rights perspectives should be expanded beyond content elements to other areas. Furthermore, it is recommended that the curriculum should encompass various human rights-related issues prevalent in contemporary society for further improvement.
