2009개정 초등도덕과 교육과정의 적용방안

Abstract

This study is aimed at proposing concrete ways to apply curriculum of elementary moral subject revised in 2009 after understanding related issues. Problems regarding application of the revised curriculum can be thought in issues following changes in general guidelines and in curriculum. Considering this, suggestions of two kinds of application ways were made. They are institutional ways about issues following changes in general guidelines and formal ways about issues following changes in curriculum itself. Institutional application ways can be arranged as following. The main point of institutional ways is about grade clusters, subject clusters and operation of about 20% variation in instructional hours. The following is adjustment of grade clusters and subject clusters centered on instructional hours. Application of grade clusters was explained with connection with curriculum and application of subject clusters with social studies was proposed based on connection between themes and virtues of subjects. Formal application ways can be explained as following. Important issues of formal ways can be categorized into ‘moral reflection,’ ‘connection with personality education’ and ‘achievement standards.’ Accordingly, a type of moral teaching methods involving ‘moral reflection’ was suggested and an application way to solve problems regarding application of ‘connection with personality education’ and ‘achievement standards’ at the same time was structured. The main point of this teaching method applied Piaget's ‘conservation’ and ‘conservation’ was divided into three levels of ‘behavior conservation,’ ‘value conservation’ and ‘personality conservation.’
