본 연구는 학교 교육과정 가운데 특히 수학과 교육과정에 초점을 맞추고, 미국과 한국을 중심으로 수학과 교육과정의 변화를 초래한 근본적인 원인을 분석하고, 두 나라의 중학교 수학과 교육과정의 체제와 내용을 비교해 보고자 시도하였다. 이러한 비교는 교육과정의 공통성과 차이성을 찾아서 한국 교육과정의 사회적 및 개인적 적합성을 평가하고, 이후 한국의 교육과정 개선을 위한 방안들을 모색하기 위한 것이다. 이미 미국의 경우 1980 년대 들어 서면서 정보화 사회에 적응할 수 있는 수학과 교육과정의 개발 작업에 노력해 왔으며, 한국도 1980 년대 후반부터 제 6 차 교육과정의 개발을 위한 연구를 시작하였다. 그 결과, 미국은 NCTM (미국 수학교사협회)을 중심으로 새로운 수학교육의 표준을 설정하고, 향후 수학교육이 지향할 방향과 전략을 설정한 바 있다. 또한 한국은 제 6 차 교육과정 개정 작업을 통하여 1992 년에 새로운 교육과정을 고시하였다. 물론 양국의 수학과 교육과정을 비교 분석하기 위해서는 그 범위와 대상을 폭 넓게 정할 수도 있겠지만, 본 연구에서는 분석의 대상을 최근 미국의 수학과 교육과정의 근간을 이루고 있는 NCTM 의 일련의 교육 표준화 관련 연구들과 한국의 제 6 차 교육과정에 나타난 수학과 교육과정으로 제한하였다. 본 연구에서는 양국의 수학교육을 이해하기 위하여 1) 양국의 수학과 교육과정에 나타난 수학교육의 일반적 성격, 기본 방향 교육 목표를 비교 분석하였고, 2) 양국의 중학교 수학 교육과정에 나타난 교육 내용을 비교해 보았다. 이를 위해서, 본 연구는 NCTM 의 교육과정 안에 명시된 중학교 과정의 수학과 교육 목표 및 내용을 준거로 하여 한국 교육과정의 관련 내용을 분석하고 비교학적으로 해석하는 방식을 취하였다. 물론 한 국가의 교육과정 체제를 목표 및 내용 요소의 비교만으로 파악할 수 없다고 본다. 향후 미국과 한국의 교육과정을 이해하기 위한 연구들은 내용의 조직, 방법, 평가, 그리고 운영계획 등에 관한 분석으로 확대되어 시도되어야 할 것으로 본다.

This study aims to find ways to improve the statistics education policy in Korea for the future based on the results from examining the high school statistics curricula in Korea and New Zealand. The statistics curriculum in New Zealand was analyzed comparatively with the corresponding contents of the probability and statistics domain in the Korea 2015 revised national mathematics curriculum. The analysis centered around achievement goals and key ideas of each of the two curricula. This comparative analysis provides implications on finding a direction in line with the global trend in the curriculum for statistics education and ultimately for Korea's statistics education for the future.

This study compared and analyzed the contents of secondary earth science curriculum in Mongolia and South Korea to check the contents of earth science education in both countries and to prepare basic data necessary for future earth science curriculum revisions. The research questions of this study are: first, to understand the changes and current operating conditions of earth science curriculum in both countries, to compare and analyze with other foreign cases, and second, to compare and analyze the contents of earth science and curriculum in both countries. The TIMSS evaluation framework is used to compare and analyze the earth science-related contents included in the science curriculum of middle schools. For analyzing the contents of high school, the contents of NGSS in the United States and the earth science curriculum contents of high schools in South Korea were mixed and the analysis frameworks were created and validated by experts. As a result of the study, countries that follow the Russian-style education system did not organize and operate earth science as an independent science subject, and deal with earth science-related content in the natural geography area of the geography subject. The earth science contents covered in middle school science curriculum in both countries, 18 of the 27 content elements of the TIMSS content analysis framework were matched in Mongolia and 20 in South Korea. In high school curriculum, the contents of earth science in Mongolia were described more briefly and not covered than in South Korea. In particular, the Mongolian geography curriculum dealt with many environmental issues. The emphasis on the operation method of the earth science curriculum in Mongolia and the contents related to the environment can be used as a reference when developing an interdisciplinary integrated curriculum of science and social studies in South Korea.

The Korean national curriculum will be revised in 2015. Before revisions are to be made, we must discuss the direction the curriculum changes will take. In this study, we compare the contents of the current 2011 elementary school mathematics curriculum in Korea with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) in the United States. The results from this comparative analysis may be helpful in the revision of the Korean mathematical curriculum. We find that the CCSSM introduces certain mathematical concepts earlier and in greater detail than the Korean curriculum does. The CCSSM also covers a broader range of mathematical concepts. These results indicate that the Korean curriculum needs to emphasize conceptual understanding, as well as procedural skill and fluency, in the early grades. Moreover, the 'grade band' is unnecessary in the mathematics curriculum. The Korean curriculum revision process must be debated more intensely, must be made public, and must take into consideration the key points of CCSSM.

This study is to compare and analyse the high school chemistry curriculum in Korea and Japan from the viewpoint of the structure, objectives, contents, teaching-learning method, and assessment plans. From the comparative analysis, we found some common and different aspects. The suggestive ideas which is useful for study of Korean science curriculum were deduced, such as more expansion of selective subjects and enhancing the guidance, more flexible teaching methods, enhancing the individualized instruction plans suitable to each student's condition, careful selection of educational contents and enhancing the base and foundation, and transition period.

This study compares and contrasts elementary mathematics curricula of Korea, China, Japan, and USA, as a part of efforts to compose contents of global elementary mathematics. This paper analyzed the similarities and the differences of mathematical contents in the domain of geometry. On the basis of this comparative analysis, this paper included implications that are expected to be informative in the revision of the Korean mathematics curriculum.

지금까지 컴퓨터 교육은 많은 발전이 있어왔고 제 7차 교육과정에서 매주 1시간씩 정보통신 기술교육을 함으로써 교과로서의 컴퓨터교육으로 한걸음 나가게 되었다. 그러나 현재 초등학교 컴퓨터 교육은 정보소양 및 ICT 활용교육에 치중하는 등 많은 문제들을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 현재의 컴퓨터 교육과정과 관련된 연구를 중심으로 현행 교육의 실태와 컴퓨터 교육의 방향을 파악하고, 초등학교 컴퓨터 교육과정을 본질적인 과학으로서 접근한 ACM 교육과정과 인도, 미국 등 외국의 교육과정을 비교 분석하며, 외국의 교육과정과 우리나라의 초등 컴퓨터 교육과정을 비교하고 초등학교 컴퓨터 과학 교육과정의 개선방향을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to review the trend in comparative education research related to curriculum published in the Korean Journal of Comparative Education, and to critically analyze its characteristics from the postcolonial perspectives. In this study, I analyzed 61 articles published in this journal from 1995 to 2016. The result showed that comparative studies related to curriculum were conducted mainly by benchmarking policies or contents related to curriculum and textbooks of Western countries including North America and Europe as well as Japan which colonized Korea. In addition, although Korea has been changing into multicultural society, studies on Asian countries such as China and Vietnam which are the nationalities of many foreigners living in Korea were rare. Based on the results, this study suggested that the expansion of comparative education research subjects, overcoming of coloniality in comparative education, and ontological reflection of comparative education researchers are necessary.

The purpose of this study is to find the point for improvement through the comparative analysis of the 2007 & 2009 revised science curriculum, and the NGSS of the United States with Bloom's revised taxonomy. The results of the analysis confirmed that the revised curriculum in 2009 compared to the revised curriculum in 2007 has expanded the type of cognitive process and knowledge, which promote a higher level thinking. However, the revised curriculum in 2009 has been biased to the type of specific cognitive process and knowledge in cognitive process dimension and knowledge dimension as compared to the NGSS of the United States. In the revised curriculum in 2009, the type of cognitive process such as 'analyze,' 'evaluate,' 'create,' and the type of knowledge such as 'meta-cognitive knowledge' have been treated inattentively. In addition, through comparative analysis, it was identified that the type of cognitive process and knowledge that were neglected in achievement standards were not dealt with in the learning objective of teachers' guides, either. The revised curriculum should consist of achievement standards in comparison to the previous curriculum to reflect better the goals of science education. Therefore, it is necessary to create an achievement standards including various types of cognitive processes and knowledge by improving the method of statement of achievement standards of science curriculum.

2019학년도 초등학교 5-6학년군에 2015 개정 교육과정이 전면 적용된다. 본 논문에서는 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 실과 검정 교과서 6종 소프트웨어 교육 단원의 외적 체제를 비교 분석하였다. 단원 체제 분석 결과 모든 교과서에 공통적으로 대단원명, 대단원 차례, 중단원명, 본문텍스트, 본문삽화, 용어 설명, 단원 마무리 등이 제시되어 있었다. 단원 구성 분석 결과 소프트웨어 교육 단원은 전체 교과서 분량의 18.8~25%까지 교과서별로 다양한 비율을 차지하고 있었다. 후속 연구로는 본 논문에서 다룬 교과서의 외적 체제 뿐 아니라 내적 체제 까지를 포함하여 각 교과서의 소프트웨어 교육 단원을 전체적인 틀에서 비교 분석 할 것이다.
