This paper focuses on recontextualizing geography curriculum, i.e. examining recent changing aspects in three geography curriculum locators-society, student and discipline of geography-and searching future directions of geography curriculum in light of such changes. For conciliation and reflection of changing aspects of each locators, this paper dealt with social issues and societal changes in terms of locator of society, increased concern to student and development of cognitive science in terms of students, and challenging views on science and the meaning of epistemological changes in geography in terms of discipline. As a result, three future directions in geography curriculum are searched : issue-based geography curriculum, thinking geography curriculum, geography curriculum toward equity and accessbility.

So far there have been intermittently quantitative and syntactic analyses of the past elementary mathematics curriculums to comprehend elementary mathematics education in Korea. However, we think we also need qualitative and semantic analyses to comprehend and examine the past elementary mathematics curriculums exactly and so to look out on our future elementary mathematics education. Generally, school mathematics curriculum reflects both the philosophical aspects of mathematics itself that form the background of the philosophy of mathematics education and the sociological aspects in real mathematics class that could be the output of the curriculum. With this view, the logic of the social constructivism can be an appropriate way that leads mathematical philosophical analysis and sociological analysis in mathematics education. With this kind of method of analysis we got the results that: the past Korean elementary mathematics curriculums mainly have the tendency from the ideology of the progressive educator(the 1st) to of the technological pragmatist(the 2nd), from that of the old humanist(the 3rd and 4th) to the progressive educator(the 5th and 6th) again, and lastly that of social constructivism(the 7th).

In this paper we analyse how school mathematics terminologies have been changed from the syllabus period to the 2007 curriculum. For this we survey the school mathematics terminologies which have been used since the syllabus period on the 2007 curriculum basis, analyse changes in expression of those, and look through to the characteristics of mathematics terminologies for each curriculum period.

In this paper, a university curriculum of Automation Robotics Process(RPA) among several goals for digital transformation of companies was developed. In the process of the development of ICT technology and the 4th industrial revolution, the existing analog information has changed through the stages of digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation. Recently, digital transformation has been cited as an essential survival strategy following a disruptive revolution that changes the paradigm of existing industrial systems and business. It is defined as a continuous process by which a company adapts to or promotes disruptive changes in customers and markets by using digital capabilities to create new business models, products and services. To this end, process automation in companies or organizations is an important factor. Accordingly, the need for a curriculum of robotics processes automation in universities has been raised according to these changes, and the related education contents, which have been centered on companies, have been redesigned to introduce the curriculum for universities. Education contents are composed to help students to attain certificates of essential or advanced of AA.

In December of 2009, General Guidelines of Curriculum Revised in 2009 was announced and research on corresponding mathematics curriculum revision has been initiated from that period. Finally, in August 2011, Mathematics Curriculum Revised in 2009 was announced. Based on the examination the backgrounds and the basic directions of revision newly reformed mathematics curriculum should be applied in math class effectively and efficiently. According to this purpose, this paper first of all finds out what are the major points or difficulties to be caused by managing 'Mathematics Curriculum Revised in 2009' according to the change of 'General Guidelines of Curriculum Revised in 2009'. They are i) the implementation of grade band system, ii) management of differentiated class, and iii) increasing or decreasing of 20% in math class hour. According to those three points to be changed and reinforced newly in new curriculum, this paper investigates the alternatives and policy of dealing with smoothly and efficiently those issues while solving the difficulties.

This study analyzed the difficulty trend of item which are common with TIMSS 1999, 2003, 2007 and are released since TIMSS 2007. The results show that the 7th curriculum has positive effects on the students' achievement in the domain such as spatial sense of rotation, ratio proportion percent, pattern, calculation of decimal numbers, concept of angle, area of triangle, and qualitative approach to graph. And the results leaved the consideration for the process of scoring, teaching method of statistical probability concept, and making table as a problem solving method.

The speed of the reformation of the Korean engineering and science education systems is very slow compared with the fast change of the society. Current society requires colleges to raise high quality gold color engineers, who can feed tens of thousands people, however current education system cannot fulfill the requirement. So we need a novel education system to adapt the fast change of the society. In this study, we analyzed the difference of the education quality between supplies and demands, and based on the analysis, we suggested a new continuous quality improving system. We also collected current data on the student capability of Korean engineering freshmen and surveyed on the required vocational basic skills. Finally we suggested some programs with that the government could support improving the quality of engineering and science college students.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the teaching of statistical graphs according to elementary mathematics curriculum. To do this, we set up three research questions as follows. First, what is the change in achievement standards related to the teaching of statistical graphs in elementary mathematics curriculum? Second, what is the change in the teaching of the drawing of statistical graphs in elementary mathematics curriculum? Third, what is the change in the teaching of understanding of statistical graphs in elementary mathematics curriculum? For the first research question, we analyzed the achievement standards related to the teaching of the statistics of the 2015 revised curriculum from the first curriculum. For the second research question, we analyzed how to provide students with the opportunity to draw graphs(number of drawings) and whether to present the basic frame of the graphs(frame provided). For the third research question, we analyzed questions in the textbooks based on the graph understanding; 'reading data', 'finding the relation between data', 'interpreting data', 'understanding the situation'. As a result of the analysis, the achievement standard in the curriculum has changed in the direction of fostering statistical thinking, and it has been changed to emphasize the interpretation of the graph so as to make the graph drawing easy. However, 'interpreting data' and 'understanding the situation' were still lacking.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and diagnose the curriculum framework of dental hygiene department. Through document analysis process, this study found several empirical data which could give us a clue to understand characteristics of curriculum changes and factors which have impacts on those changes in curriculum at college level. In this study, we could conclude that even curriculum changes at college level had been influenced by social changes like extention of academic years from 2 years to 3 years and changes in licensure test at national level. And also, essential issues in college curriculum like amount of credits, course titles, and requirements-electives distinction etc. also were changed in accordance to social changes and requests. This study found that there is many difference of objectives, credits and course titles among colleges. For that, colleges will form a consultative group under the college level. Based on these results, we can suggest that college curriculum should be flexibly and effectively adapted to changes coping with social and policy changes.
