  • The COM curriculum provides first a core of mathematics for all students, and then offers opportunities for students to enter different streams of mathematics studies. The flexible curriculum (COM) is certainly welcome as it focuses on a transition from concrete to conceptual mathematics and on sequentially learning the power of mathematical language and symbols from simple to complex. This approach emphasizes the use of computers in mathematics education in the upper secondary grades. In Mathematics A, one unit is developed to computer operation, flow charts and programming, and computation using the computer. In mathematics B, a chapter addresses algorithms and the computer where students learn the functions of computers, as well as programs of various algorithms. Mathematics C allots a chapter for numerical computation in which approximating solutions for equations, numerical integration, mensuration by parts, and approximation of integrals. But, unfortunately, they do not have any plan for the cooperation study.

  • We believe new assessment strategies and practices need to be developed that will enable teachers and others to assess students' performance in a manner that reflect the 7th Korean curriculum reform vision for school mathematics. This research was conducted to develop the assessment tasks based on the current literatures such as National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (1999) and Korea Institute of Curriculum & Evaluation(KICE, 2002, 2003) in quadratic functions of the secondary school and to find the effect of these tasks by classifying students' responses. The research instrument were composed of three criteria, the previous knowledge, the application of quadratic functions, and the general properties in functions. The research data were collected from 32 high school students in a suburb of Seoul and sorted by their similarities and differences in mathematical understanding. Through the research, we could know more than ever before about how the students learned mathematics and about how to improve teachers' mathematical instruction.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status and problems in environmental education by schools which was newly established in the 6th curriculum and to propose the future agendas for environmental education. Then, we have investigated teachers' consciousness about environmental education and analysed the 6th curriculum and textbooks at primary and secondary school levels. The result of this study was as follows. 1. Most teachers thought of 'participation' as important goal of environmental education, but they actually could not practice it because of various preventing factors. 2. Most teachers thought that there were no efforts to reform textbook system and school conditions. 3. The content and goal of environmental education was duplicated and vague in each subject. The suggestions for the improvement of the environmental education based on these conclusions were as follows. 1. The systematic goal strategy of environmental education must be established. 2. We must allot appropriate roles to each environment related subjects for efficient environmental education 3. The opportunity for pre-service and in-service for teachers of environmental education must be expanded.

  • Education policy is a dynamic process featuring social development trends. The world countries have focused their education program on empowering the learners for future life and work. This paper aims to assess the higher education curriculum based on a survey of 280 students, employers, alumni, and lecturers in both social sciences and natural sciences in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The fuzzy decision-making method, namely the Fuzzy Extent Analysis Method (F-EAM), was applied to measure the relative weight of each parameter. Seven factors under the curriculum development have been put in the ranking. Input with emphasis on foreign language was the highest priority in curriculum development, given the expected demand of the labor market. Objective and learning outcome and teaching activities ranked second and third, respectively. The traditional triangle of teaching content, methodology, and evaluation and assessment are still proven their roles, but certain modifications have been defined in the advanced curriculum. Teaching facilities had the least weight among the seven dimensions of curriculum development. The findings are helpful for education managers to efficiently allocate scarce resources to reform the curriculum to bridge the undergraduate quality gap between labor supply and demand, meeting the dynamic trends of social development.

  • IT communication industries of current society are developed in enormous growth, our country leading the world in the number of super high speed internet equipments in use. In the pride oneself on communication network of those, mobile terminal technology and wireless phone production hold a high rank. Data communication and networking may be the fastest growing technologies in our culture today. In this way, IT fields conjugated in the daily quick, the fact that department of radiological science didn't discharged one's duties on current IT education. The curriculum of radiological technologists that play an important part between skill and occupation's education as major and personality didn't performed one's part most effectively on current IT environments and digital radiological equipments interface. Therefore, in this paper current curriculum of radiological science are catched hold of trend and problems on digital radiology environments, on fact the present state of problems, for radiological engineering and HIS manager, new curriculum course are suggested a reform measure of culture and major education curriculum introduction.

  • The purpose of this paper was to develop advertising curriculum demanded in advertising industry in the fourth industrial revolution. A survey was conducted targeting 121 human resources manager in advertising agencies. The results showed that advertising curriculum in Korean university was far behind coping with the fourth industrial revolution and needed to improve for suitable curriculum reform process. The results indicated that proper methods of operation for advertising curriculum were project based learning, practical work based education, convergence education with theory and practical work, and connection with software education. Practical and theoretical suggestions are interpreted in relation to the fourth industrial revolution and advertising education and manpower.

  • This study implemented a comparative analysis of the international mathematics curriculum on time learning. It aimed the improvement of challenges students facing when they learn time. As a preliminary step, I reviewed the previous literature on teaching and learning of time, and based on this, I drew five issues that require to be considered for better time learning. The coverage of time contents and the learning periods of respective time contents were compared across the mathematics curriculum of Korea, Japan, Australia, the United States, and Finland. The textbook cases of those countries were analyzed with a special focus on the five issues. The results showed that the Korean curriculum assigned time learning contents compressively during short periods compared to other countries. responded to the issues on teaching and learning of time, several improvement ideas were deduced from textbook cases of other countries. Implications for the curriculum reform were discussed underlying the results.

  • This study aimed to review the expected changes in the medical educational environment and to evaluate approaches to coping with the abolition of the postgraduate intern training system. It is expected that after the intern training system is dismantled, postgraduate medical students will be deprived of the opportunity to practice opportunity for clinical practice and to inquire into their medical specialization. Therefore, major improvements in the clinical education curriculum must be made so that students can do so through the clinical education program. Offering students the opportunity to perform clinical practice through the clinical education program might require a revision in the laws and regulations on clinical education as well as the standardization of the clinical education curriculum in line with international practices. Reform measures to provide students the opportunity to inquire their specializations might be the introduction of a medical curriculum containing diverse fields and the establishment of a matching program to assign medical students to their residency programs after medical school. Finally, the fact that the basic concern of postgraduate medical education is the cultivation of primary care physicians must not be forgotten even after the dismantling of the postgraduate intern training system.
