초중등 도덕 교과 교육과정 변화와 인성교육을 위한 동양철학의 역할

Abstract

Eastern philosophy has been established as an important content of moral education in schools, but the importance of eastern philosophy is decreasing due to the revision of the curriculum. In the revised 2022 curriculum, the importance and role of personal education has decreased compared to the revised 2015 curriculum, and the weight of eastern philosophy in the content elements of moral education has also decreased. In addition, personal education currently set in the elementary and secondary school curriculum is integrated with civic education and is to be carried out within the framework of civic education. In addition, high school moral education is expected to be excluded from the future college entrance exam, and interest in and choice of eastern philosophy is expected to decrease further due to the implementation of the high school credit system. For a while, research on personal education was led by the field of eastern philosophy, but it was focused on minor and self-centered personal education methods based on virtues or classics for personal education. Recently, research on personal education by non-eastern philosophy majors has been active, and research is being conducted in a practical, specific, and macroscopic direction, such as defining the concept of character, organizing the curriculum, and personal education policies. In order for eastern philosophy to play a meaningful role in moral education and personal education, it must actively participate in the revision of the curriculum, reorganize the content elements and values ​​of eastern philosophy, and present them in an easy and useful way. In addition, moral education must be made independent from social studies, designated as a required subject for the college entrance exam along with Korean language and history, and cooperation and solidarity with the fields of philosophy, religion, and education must be strengthened. In addition, eastern philosophy researchers must study moral education and personal education methods from both micro and macro perspectives with a new perspective.
