한국사 수능 필수화 이후 고등학교 역사수업

Abstract

Since Korean history was selected as a compulsory subject for the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) from 2017, it has been implemented twice. The direction for setting questions in the examination under the system of absolute evaluation would help history teachers encourage students to arouse interests and attention, thereby creating various and creative Korean history classes. This study aims to analyze how Korean history classes in high schools as Korean history became mandatory in the national examination. History teachers and high school students who participated in this study and students responded that students are willing to learn Korean history and highly interested in the subject after becoming the compulsory subject of Korean history. However, history classes are not distinct from previous days when Korean history was not mandatory and no various and creative history classes stimulating curiosities of students is performed. What is the reason? It was found that history teachers taught students with textbooks based on the history curriculum and achievement standards. Therefore, it is highly significant how new history textbooks are developed in accordance with the new history curriculum enacted in 2015. The teacher is the most essential factor that encourages students to be interested in history classes. Thus, teachers should be willing to diversify history classes. It would be more realistic to increase the percentage of performing evaluation centered on the process as an alternative for various classes.
