Abstract

A curriculum is broadly defined as ‘the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process’, which starts from the basic questions of why, what, when, and how to teach students, and can be said to be a ‘practical act of selecting, organizing, executing, evaluating, and improving learning experiences to be provided to learners.’ A curriculum must begin with concerns about what kind of learning experiences students need in the near future society in which they will live. Therefore, the curriculum is not fixed, but can change according to the orientation of school education and social changes required by the times. In case of Korea, the government has revised the national curriculum several times in accordance with social changes and demands. Most recently, the Ministry of Education announced ‘2022 Revised Curriculum’, aimed at ‘cultivating competencies’ to prepare for the future society. In this paper, the main contents and characteristics of the 2022 revised science curriculum are introduced, focusing on physics in middle school and high school.
