The purpose of this paper is to review the trend of research in geographical education since the launching of the Korean Geographical Society in 1945 and to suggest the areas and directions for future oriented research in geographical education. 422 articles (including 12 books) were reviewed and analized for this paper. The outputs of research in geographical education contributed in developing and improving the geographical education in primary and secondary school geography. But to achieve stable and desirable status as a subject in the school curriculum, research in geographical education has to be changed in its target areas and methods. The results and the suggestions of this study are summarized as follows: First, research in geographical education in diverse areas, especially in the areas of significance, aims and objectives, and psychology of geographical education should be preceded the revision of the school curriclum so that the results could be used as the basis information and evidences in decision making about the curriculum. Second, research in geographical education for affective domain and skill development should be implemented more actively in accordance to the trend of integration centering around the dicipline-inquiry skill and citizenship skill. More close relationship between the circles of geographical education and geography would be one of the ways to satisfy the social needs. Third, the linkage between primary and secondary school geography is crucial to the research in geographical education. Considering the sequence in human development research in geographical education for two levels of school should be conducted in more wide school-year span. Fourth, critical and prescriptive research in geographical education focusing on the individual, diciplinary, and social relevancy of the content of geographical education may be recommended. Finally, the outputs of the research in geographical education should be publicized more widely so that the rationale for justification of subject geography and geographical education may be shared with among the researchers, educational administrators, and practioners.

제 7 차 교육과정에서 경제지리 과목이 심화 선택 과목으로 새롭게 설정되었다. 그러나 제 6차 교육과정 한국지리 과목의 경제지리 교육내용을 단순 확대.심화시켜 구성하였기 때문에, 그 동안의 비판과 문제점을 해결하지 못하고 있다. 지리교육에서 경제 지리교육내용의 선정 및 조직 바법은 산업별 분류방법, 주제 중심방법, 경제과정 중심방법으로 분류할 수 있는데, 기존은 교육과정은 산업별 분류방법을 근간으로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 공급자의입장에서 나열적으로 교육내용을 선정.조직하고 있는 기존 방법의 문제점을 개선하고, 실생활에서 학습의 유용성을 확인시켜 학습자의 관심과 흥미를 갖게 하며, 다양한 형태의 교수-학습 활동이 가능하도록 하면서, 심화 선택 과목의 특성을 살릴 수 있는 경제 지리 과목의 교육내용 선정 및 조직 대안으로 지역문제 중심방법을 제안한다.

본 연구의 목적은 온라인과 오프라인 공간에 다양하게 존재하는 지리 관련 학습 자료를 매쉬업하여 지리교육사이트를 구현해 봄으로써 지도를 기반으로 한 지리교육용 웹 사이트 구축 가능성을 모색하는 데 있다. 그동안 교육 분야에서 API를 활용한 대부분의 연구가 사이트 구현을 제안하는 단계에 머무르고 있었다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 교과서 분석을 통하여 지리교육과 관련된 사진, 영상, 개념도, 모식도 등 다양한 자료를 매쉬업해 봄으로써, 정보 제공 방식의 변화를 추구하고, 직접 구현하여 API를 활용한 지리교육사이트의 구현 가능성을 제시한 것에 의의가 있다.

In literary works, space plays a background role, but in geography, it becomes the target of study. Space could, therefore, be a matter of common interest in literary and geographic education. "Chunhyangjeon" contains a great amount of geographic information, such as landscape, itineraries, and spatial consciousness. This information is a part of narrative development and represents the geographical situation of the late Yi-dynasty. Thus, "Chunhyangjeon" could be the common material for literary and geographic education. Using "Chunhyangjeon" as the common material, through narrative incidents, learners in a literature class can appreciate the role of geographic information in narrative development, and the same learners can, in geography class, recognize the geographic information and gather the sense of place that the characters experience. For the construction of common realm of the two subjects, it is necessary to compare the aims of two subjects and systematically ensure that the aims correspond. This systematic correspondence of aims could be the foundation for curriculum integration.

이 연구는 개념 및 개념학습의 의미와 가치를 평가해 보고, 기존의 지리교육 기본 개념에 대한 논의를 정리하여 현장 교사들의 기본 개념 인식과 비교한 후, 향후의 지리교육 내용 구성의 방향을 모색해 보았다. 지리교육의 개념은 지리적 현상의 작동 과정을 이해하는데 도움을 주는 개괄적인 관념으로서 관련 지식들을 인지구조 속에 붙들어 매어주는 역할을 한다. 현장교사들이 가장 중요하다고 인식하고 있는 기본개념은 인간-자연관계, 입지, 지역, 지도화, 지역적 차이, 문화 등이며, 이는 전통지역지리학에서 강조되어 온 개념들이다. 반면에 지역적 결합, 공간 및 공간관계, 장소, 지구사회, 이동 등의 개념은 교사들이 잘 이해하지 못하고 있는 개념으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 분석과 관련하여 주의를 기울여야 할 점은 지리학과 지리교육의 기본개념을 무차별적으로 혼용해서는 안 된다는 점이다. 학문적 성과와 교육적 성과는 다른 것이며, 이에 맞춰 지리교육의 교육적 효과를 높일 수 있는 구체적인 하위개념들이 개발되어야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the current status of geography education research in South Korea. This article consists of mainly two parts: 1) source of knowledge and 2) content of knowledge in geography education research. The main academic journals are introduced as the sources of knowledge. The research trends in these journals are discussed as the content of knowledge. We classified geography education research into three types based on the framework suggested by Bednarz (2000): 1) nature of geographic knowledge, learning, and curriculum, 2) teacher education in geography, and 3) strategies in the geography classroom. Relevant research regarding each category is introduced. We hope this study serves as an access point where geography educators in South Korea and other countries facilitate interactions with each other.

Among the changes of the Curriculum from the liberation to the present, the biggest change in the highschool geography course appeared during the period from the Period of Syllabus to the 1st National Curriculum. More specifically, during the 1st National Curriculum the highschool geography course which previously had three subjects, 'Natural Environment and Human Lives', 'Human Geography', 'Economic Geography' was reduced to one subject, 'Human Geography.' In addition, while some contents related with astronomy, geology, and biology had been contained in the physiography course, they were left out from the human geography course of the 1st National Curriculum. This reduction of the geography course was related to the context that earth science was newly established in the 1st National Curriculum. Originally the draft plan released in June, 1953, which was 10 months before the formal time allotment criteria list had been made public, contained 'Physical Geography' instead of 'Earth Science'. What is sorry is that the name of 'Physical Geography' did not remain and was changed to 'Earth Science'. The underlying causes of the crisis the geography education is now facing are the reduction of Physical Geography and the emergence of 'Earth Science' during the 1st National Curriculum. To overcome the present crisis, the subject of geography should be changed more meaningful one based on the comprehensive perspective and academic product that geography has accumulated.

For the Unification of Koreas in the future, we need to understand the geography education system of North Korea. This paper deals with the middle-school geography textbooks of North Korea, published in 2000 and as well as in 1990, in order to look for a better way of geography education after the Unification. One geography textbook is used for each grade, respectively, from the first to the fifth grade of the North Korea's middle-school (table 1). The North Korea's geography textbooks are immersed in the unreasonable idolization of the Kim's family and the excessive devotion to the socialist system. But they may suggest a significant implication in the improvement of geography terminology in South Korea because of their common use of genuine Korean words.

The purpose of this paper is to examine trends of the GIS education in the school's education of the USA, especially the geography education, which the application of GIS is activated in the life. In addition, in this paper are explored possibilities of GIS education in the geographical education of Korea throughout the consideration of the USA case. There are some backgrounds of the activation of GIS education in the USA, They can be characterized as (1) the achievement of the validity between the geographical importance in the realm of the national policy and GIS education, (2) offering standard indications for GIS education and gradually minimizing school teachers' work-loads, (3)the establishment of the network of GIS stake-holders and their cooperation, (4) the attraction of school students through case study-centered education, and (5) the share of GIS education-related information. These shall be considered to introduce actively GIS education into the geography education in Korea.
