This research compares the subjects of "Integrated Science" and "Converged Science" in the 2015 Revised National Curriculum, through core concepts. The content priorities and levels of integration of each core concept were evaluated through an analytical framework, and visualized using two-dimensional visualization matrix of the content priorities and the levels of integration. The results show that "Integrated Science" had fewer core concepts, higher in priorities and slightly lower levels of integration than "Converged Science". This can be an evidence that "Integrated Science" is excellent in rigor and not so much inferior in relevance. And also, through visualization of analysis results, the characteristics of integrated subjects could easily be understood and compared.

This study compares the perspectives of experts and the public on the 2015 revised curriculum. To do this, research papers and newspaper articles were collected from October 2013 to May 2020. During this period, 1152 research papers and 692 newspaper articles were collected, and semantic network analysis was performed. As a result of the study, the educational expert group showed great interest in the core concept of the development of the revised curriculum focused on the abstract concept, while the public focused on the practical problems and consequences of the revision rather than the development of the revised curriculum itself. These results not only show the gap between the perspectives of the educational expert group and the public but also raise the need for effective communication to bridge the gap.

The purpose of this study is to provide an opportunity for better understanding and application of 2009 revised elementary school mathematics textbooks through survey data and focus group interview on structures of textbooks. First, We collect online survey results which 2333 elementary school teachers participated. Next, We interview focus group(8 teachers) about shapes of textbooks, quantity of learning contents, activities and problems for evaluation in the mathematics lessons. Storytelling is especially issued in the 2009 revised mathematics curriculum. We intensively discuss learning and teaching methods with application of storytelling textbooks; interests of students, role of storytelling textbooks etc. As results of analysis, the positive rate to use the 2009 revised textbooks is relatively high about shapes and activities of textbooks. But there is more considered about storytelling method. Storytelling may be positive on improvement of learning interests and participation of students. In order to develop these advantages, studies in relation of storytelling are more proceeded and teaching materials for teachers are required effectively in order to applicate to the elementary school.

In this study, we analyzed whether 2015 revised elementary school mathematics curriculum 's standards statements reflect the direction of 2015 revised curriculum. For the objectivity of analysis, 128 achievement standards statements were analyzed based on content - centered statements, activity - centered statements, and performance - centered statements by Seo Young - jin 's (2013). As a result of the analysis, it can be seen that the 2015 revision elementary mathematics curriculum achievement standards statements do not contain enough information to expand the mathematical competence of students. To complement this, the achievement standards statements should include more elements than 'content + function', and other criteria should be developed to clearly communicate the meaning of the achievement standards statements. And it is necessary to supplement the expression of 'function' in the achievement standards in order to improve the expression of the elementary school mathematics curriculum achievement standards statements.

Maximum and minimum have a historical background in mathematics and occupy an important part of the differential unit in school mathematics. As the curriculum is revised, there are changes and problems in the way definition introduced. Therefore, this study analyzes the changes in the method of introducing maximum and minimum definitions following the reorganization of the 2007 and 2009 revised mathematics curriculum, and analyzes the differences in maximum and minimum definition methods compared to the nine mathematics II textbooks in the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum and three real analysis. In addition, methods to improve the terms used in relation to the maximum and minimum values are presented.

The purpose of this study is to explore the direction of home economics education in order to strengthen students' competencies. We explored the direction of competency-based home economics class, and teaching and learning methods for strengthening subject competencies, then develop class case. The main research results of this study are as follows. First, in order to cultivate subject competencies, students should be the center of the education, class and evaluation by integrating of the curriculum-class-evaluation, so that they can grow into the subject of life. Second, to enhance subject competencies, case example of the home economics was presented focusing on integrating curriculum-class-evaluation. It is expected that this study will be able to integrate curriculum-class-evaluation into the concrete realization of subject competencies in home economics education.

Criticism has been raised that the way of teaching weights in the 3rd and 4th graders of elementary school is different between the 2015 revised math curriculum and the 2015 revised science curriculum, causing confusion among elementary school teachers and students. This study tried to confirm the social recognition that should be considered in the process of didactic transformation which means transformation from knowledge to used into knowledge to taught and to compare the variations of didactic transformations differently according to didactic intentions. The research analyzes and synthesizes the root of the meaning of weight, weight in the international standard system of units SI, weight implemented in Korean mathematics curriculum and textbooks, Singaporean mathematics curriculum and textbooks, USA mathematics curriculum and textbooks, and Korean science curriculum and textbooks. Through this analysis, a pedagogical perspective on how to define and teach weight in elementary school as knowledge to be taught was derived.

In this paper, we analyzed curriculum materials on inequalities as regions. Constructs such as mathematical connections and curriculum articulation were used as a framework. As for articulation, our findings indicate the topic of inequalities as regions addresses meaningful subordinate mathematical thinking and skills that serve prerequisite to calculus. Regarding connections, mathematical concepts involving inequalities extend to multivariate calculus. One implication is, as an unintended consequence of curricular decision of 2015 Revised National Curriculum to teach the topic only in mathematical economics, students who plan to study STEM subjects in college but opt out of mathematics economics in high school may miss the key concept and naturally struggle to understand calculus especially the theory of multivariate function of calculus.

This paper analyzed 'Software Education' of the Practical Arts unit among the six textbooks developed under the 2015 revised curriculum, and provided implications for selection of textbooks, researching curriculum, and developing the next textbook. As a result of analyzing the prior study, it was found that the inquiry analysis was insufficient in the case of the elementary school 'Software Education' unit. the inquiry analysis was insufficient. On the contrary, in the middle and high school textbook research was sufficient. Therefore, we analyzed the contents of the textbook using the Romey analysis method, judging that our children who will live in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution need an exploratory textbook. As a result of analyzing textbooks, there was no ideal textbook with inquiring tendencies in all analysis factors, and different analysis factors with high inquiring tendencies were found in each textbook. In the entire textbook, the analysis element with the lowest inquiring tendency was the text, and the highest analysis element was the activity. The analysis factors with the greatest deviation in the evaluation index between textbooks are data and evaluation.
