Abstract

In this study, the content of Unification Education in the ‘2023 Basic Direction of Unification Education’ and the ‘2022 Revised Moral Education Curriculum’ were analyzed and directions for improvement were presented in terms of curriculum content selection and organizational principles. After clarifying the educational goals and main competencies of Unification Education, the principles of content selection and organization of Unification Education were identified. When selecting content, consistency, validity, balance, consideration of learner's interest, possibility of learning, usefulness, etc. must be taken into consideration. When organizing content, sequence, continuity, scope, and integration must be considered. As a result of the analysis, the improvement direction of the ‘2023 Basic Direction of Unification Education’ is as follows. First, the educational goals must be clearly redefined and the content must be selected consistently. Second, the limitations of knowledge centered on the need for unification must be overcome. Third, the interests of learners must be considered and content that will increase the likelihood of learning performance must be selected. Fourth, in order to reduce confusion with the content of the national level curriculum, we must consider ways to present only the basic direction. Fifth, efforts should be made to increase integration with other materials published by the National Institute for Unification Education. The direction for improving the content of Unification Education in the ‘2022 Revised Moral Education Curriculum’ is as follows. First, educational goals and key competencies that are in harmony with the core competencies presented in the 2022 revised Curriculum Guidelines must be considered. Second, balance must be ensured in the depth and breadth of content and the needs of individuals and society. Third, sequence must be secured by considering the student’s development level. Fourth, the scope of the content organization should be expanded and the scope should be optimized by considering the depth according to the school level. Fifth, when developing a curriculum, integration should be increased by activating consultation between researchers in related subjects or within the same subject.
