서양사 내용요소 선정 및 체계화 : 세계사 이론 도입과 그 취지의 실현을 중심으로

Abstract

There are so many possible learning components for the education of world history, especially, the education of Western history, that its is unavoidable and important to select meaningful subjects. Accordingly, the national curriculum for world history reflects one specific viewpoint of history and selects subjects in relation to this viewpoint. These days the national curriculum eagerly embraces the theories which seek to overcome Westerncentricism in the interest of resolving the problems of selection. However, while these theories use the concepts of civilization and cultural spheres as basic tools, they may limit the realization of the goal of word history. In order to overcome this problem, this study argues that subjects should be carefully chosen to fit the goal of the national curriculum. It also shows how constructing the sequence of these subjects at school levels is a difficult task. This study illuminates that the specification of the national curriculum, the proper selection of learning components, deep learning, the change of narratives can be used to resolve this problem.
