Abstract

Objectives This study aims to reconsider the historical value and educational significance of social equality movement by analyzing the history curriculum and textbooks based on the research trends and characteristics of the social equality movement. Methods To this end, the research trend of the social equality movement was followed and the characteristics of the social equality movement were categorized into two categories. The main research flow is the case of emphasizing the nature of the national liberation movement and focusing on the nation, and the other trend is the case of focusing on the movement to overcome discrimination in the social equality movement and treating civic values as important. The descriptions of the history curriculum (7th, 2009 revision, 2015 revision) and textbooks (2015 revision high school Korean history) were analyzed based on national values and civic values. Results As a result of the review in this study, first, in the history curriculum (7th Korean Modern and Contemporary History, 2009, 2015 Revised Korean History), the social equality movement emphasized the characteristics of the national liberation movement, giving priority to national values. However, there was a change that gradually approached the social equality movement in terms of social movement in terms of unit organization and achievement technology. Next, in the history textbook (2015 High School Korean History), the view of the national liberation movement centered on the confrontation between the social equality movement and the Japanese Empire was dominant, but a narrative focused on civic values by approaching the social equality movement as a social movement appeared. Conclusions By reconsidering the historical value of the social equality movement, the educational significance of the social equality movement as a citizenship education is improved.
