고등학교 공학 교과 교육과정 텍스트 네트워크 분석

Abstract

Using text network analysis, this research aimed to identify significant keywords associated with each period of the revised High School Engineering curriculum from 2009-2022 and to examine their interrelationships in order to analyse the observed changes. The results of this study can be summarised as follows. Firstly, a significant increase in the number of words was observed throughout the curriculum revisions, with prominent occurrences of terms such as ‘engineering’, ‘understanding’, ‘problem’, ‘solution’, ‘learning’, ‘evaluation’ and ‘diversity’. Secondly, network analysis and examination of connection centrality for each subject revealed the connection relationship that represented distinct subject characteristics. Thirdly, the study of the engineering curriculum revealed shifts in emphasised content with each revision. Based on these findings, recommendations were formulated. Firstly, given the growing importance of engineering, it is imperative to conduct systematic research on engineering education in primary and secondary school contexts. Secondly, efforts should be made to strengthen the link between Engineering and Technogy･Home-economics subjects in secondary schools. Finally, high school engineering subjects should be used not only to explore engineering careers, but also to cultivate talents with interdisciplinary expertise.
