Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the achievement standards of the 2022 revised national English curriculum with those of the 2015 curriculum based on Bloom's revised taxonomy.
 Methods The 2022 revised curriculum made efforts to ensure that the purpose of competency education is ac-tually implemented in the achievement standards, from the perspectives of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. To examine whether this purpose has been achieved, this study compares and analyzes the achievement standards of the revised English curriculum in 2015 and 2022 in terms of knowledge dimension and cognitive process di-mension based on Bloom's revised taxonomy of educational objectives.
 Results In terms of knowledge dimension, the achievement standards of both the 2015 and 2022 revised curricu-lum were the most distributed in “factual knowledge”. There were almost no achievement standards correspond-ing to “conceptual knowledge” and “procedural knowledge” in both the 2015 and 2022 revised curriculum. Meta-cognitive knowledge has increased in proportion in the 2022 revised curriculum. This is analyzed as a result of reflecting strategic knowledge and affective attitudes in the achievement standards. In terms of cognitive process dimension, both the 2015 and 2022 revised curriculum achievement standards showed a tendency to be focused on low-level cognitive functions of “remember” and “understand”, but unlike 2015, the 2022 curriculum showed a change of introducing high-level cognitive functions such as “evaluate” and “create”.
 Conclusions These changes show that the 2022 revised national English curriculum strives to present the ach-ievement standards in a balanced manner in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes in order to reflect the pur-pose of competency education.
