Abstract

The high school credit system, in which students select and complete subjects according to their career and aptitude based on basic knowledge and academic ability, is set to be fully introduced in 2025. In general high schools, the CSAT is the factor that has the greatest influence on the organization of unit school curriculum along with the high school credit system. Therefore, for the smooth landing of the high school credit system, it is necessary to analyze the influence of these factors on the organization and operation of the school curriculum. In this study, the current status of curriculum organization in 213 schools belonging to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education was investigated and the current status of curriculum organization was analyzed, focusing on the relationship with the selection tendency of optional subjects in CSAT math section. As a result of the analysis, the ratio of elective subjects in CSAT math section was highly related to the organization of class hours in the unit school curriculum. Additionally, it was confirmed that there was a higher correlation with 'the number of opportunity units' that students could actually choose than 'the number of units organized' for each subject of the unit school curriculum. The results of this study will serve as basic data for the implementation of the high school credit system according to the 2022 revised curriculum, while providing implications for the organization of elective subjects in the high school mathematics curriculum.

학생이 기초 소양과 기본 학력을 바탕으로 진로·적성에 따라 과목을 선택하고 이수하는 고교학점제가 2025년 전면 도입을 앞두고 있다. 일반계 고등학교에서 고교학점제와 더불어 단위학교 교육과정의 편성에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요소는 수능이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 고교학점제의 연착륙을 위해서는 이러한 요소들이 학교 현장의 교육과정 편성·운영에 미치는 영향력을 분석하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 서울특별시교육청 소속 213개교 교육과정 편성 현황을 전수조사하여 수능 수학 영역 선택과목의 선택 경향과의 관련성을 중심으로 교육과정 편성 현황을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 수능 수학 영역의 선택과목 응시 비율은 단위학교 교육과정 편성 시수와 높은 관련성을 나타내었으며, 단위학교 교육과정 과목별 '편성 단위 수'보다 학생이 실질적으로 선택할 수 있는 '기회 단위 수'와 상관도가 높음을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 고등학교 수학과 교육과정 선택과목 편성에 시사점을 제공하는 동시에 2022 개정 교육과정에 따른 고교학점제 시행의 기초자료로서 기능할 수 있을 것이다.
