Abstract

The Ministry of Education announced the main points of the 2022 revised curriculum on November 24, 2021. Democratic citizenship education to foster citizenship appears as one of the detailed tasks among the key tasks of the 2022 revised curriculum. We are promoting democratic citizenship education to foster citizenship. Therefore, what does democratic citizenship education specifically mean and what does it consist of? There is a need to look into what methods this should be used for. The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of democratic citizenship education revealed in the 2022 revised curriculum. The contents of democratic citizenship education for the cultivation of citizenship revealed in the general discussion of the 2022 revised curriculum are analyzed as follows. First, it means education related to democracy and social issues. The specific contents of democracy and social issues are ① peace, ② human rights, ③ gender equality, and ④ cultural diversity. Second, critical thinking education. Third, media literacy education is necessary because democratic citizenship education must respond appropriately to the times in line with social changes such as the emergence of Chat GPT. Fourth, while emphasizing democratic decision-making education, it includes social empathy and communication education. Fifth, it contains local and national community participation and practical education as a method for citizen participation and practice. As described above, democratic citizenship education was specified in the general introduction of the 2022 revised curriculum. In order to carry out such democratic citizenship education systematically, it is necessary to establish the principles of democratic citizenship education.

교육부에서는 2022 개정 교육과정 총론 주요 사항을 2021년 11월 24일 발표하였다. 2022 개정 교육과정 중점 추진 과제의 세부 추진 과제 중의 하나로 시민성 함양을 위한 민주시민 교육이 등장한다. 시민성 함양을 위한 민주시민 교육을 추진하고 있다. 그러므로 민주 시민 교육이 구체적으로 어떤 의미인지, 어떤 내용으로 구성되어 있는지. 어떤 방법을 통해 이루어져야 하는지 등에 관한 내용을 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 2022 개정 교육과정 총론에 드러난 민주 시민 교육의 의미를 탐색하는 데 있다. 2022 개정 교육과정 총론에서 드러난 시민성 함양을 위한 민주 시민 교육 내용을 분석하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 민주주의와 사회적 현안과 관련된 교육을 의미한다. 민주주의와 사회적 현안의 구체적인 내용은 ①평화, ②인권, ③성평등, ④문화 다양성이다. 둘째, 비판적 사고 교육이다. 셋째, Chat GPT 등장 등 사회적 변화에 따라 민주 시민 교육도 시대에 맞게 대응해야 하므로 미디어 문해 교육이 필요하다. 넷째, 민주적 의사결정 교육을 강조하면서, 사회적 공감과 의사소통 교육을 포함하고 있다. 다섯째, 시민의 참여와 실천을 위한 방법으로 지역 및 국가공동체 참여와 실천 교육을 담고 있다. 이상과 같이 민주시민교육을 2022 개정 교육과정 총론에 명시하였다. 이러한 민주 시민 교육을 체계적으로 실시하기 위해서는 민주시민교육의 원칙들이 정립될 필요가 있다.
