교과융합을 위한 초등학교 사회과 교육과정과 국어 교과서의 연계성 분석

Abstract

Purpose: This study presents basic research to find a way to effectively form subject knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes by converging subject education so that education for the purpose of learner holistic growth can be realized. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation aspectsof the Social Studies Curriculum in Korean textbooks.
 Methods: After a Doctor of Education examined various materials presented in elementary Korean textbooks and reviewed documents classified according to the Social Studies Curriculum content system the distribution of social studies curriculum areas and core concepts, and the placement and contents of grade groups in Korean language textbooks were analyzed.
 Results: A total of fifty-nine pieces of material related to the Social Studies Curriculum included in Korean textbooks appeared in all areas, but only 47.7% of the core concepts were covered. In particular, the core concepts of a “sustainable world” and “sustainable environment” were most often addressed. However, only one 'economy' area was included. The data included in the 5th and 6th grades were 1.68 times more than the 3rd and 4th grades. The content data of the Social Studies Curriculum assigned to Korean textbooks in the same grade were 74%. Among the materials contained in the Korean textbooks in the 3rd and 4th grades, 50% dealt with the contents of the 5th and 6th grades of the Social Studies Curriculum.
 Conclusion: The contents of the Social Studies Curriculum were not reflected in the materials included in the Korean textbooks in a balanced manner, and in some cases were not suitable for the grade group hierarchy. In terms of subject convergence, it is a desirable form of subject convergence toplace materials that deeply expand what is learned in Social Studies in the same grade group or to experience it before learning about it in Social Studies. This is expected to not only be an opportunity to reduce the learning burden on learners, but to inspire interest in learning. Accordingly, it is proposed to elaborate the criteria for selecting the content to be dealt with in Korean language textbooks for each area of the Social Studies Curriculum and selecting specific target areas for Korean language textbooks.
