A Study on the Actual Condition of Curriculum Composition by Factor Analysis

요인분석(要因分析)에 의한 교과목편성(教科目編成)의 실태분석(實態分析)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

The purpose of this study was to analyze the actual condition of curriculum composition by factor analysis, then to find out the peculiarity of each factor through factor loading. The method adopted here is to classify and arrange the curricula in accordance with the similarity of each subject, to put it into computer, and to get 16 factors whose eigenvalues are at least 1.00. Consequentely, before the orthogonal rotation 67% of the curricula which have the given factors and maximum factor loading were distributed from factor 1 to factor 4, and after orthogonal rotation 45% of the curricula were distribued.
