Improving National Curriculum Monitoring System

AbstractThis study aims to provide suggestions for improving national curriculum monitoring system. To achieve this goal, we analyzed the Korean national curriculum monitoring system in terms of actual problems and challenges faced by school teachers, and drew criteria for analyzing overseas curriculum monitoring system. Based on the criteria, we investigated the Australian and Singaporean national curriculum monitoring system. We especially carried out interviews with school teachers, principals, officials in Ministry of Education, and tried to identify the actual condition of curriculum monitoring system beyond superficial investigation of them. The results of this study provide four suggestions such as integrated way of monitoring, multi-way open system, and substantial approach into monitoring operation which will lead into meeting with the purpose of the monitoring system of national curriculum. ■ keyword : ∣National Curriculum ∣Monitoring ∣Curriculum Implementation ∣International Comparative Study ∣ 접수일자 : 2015년 08월 11일수정일자 : 2015년 09월 27일심사완료일 : 2015년 09월 27일교신저자 : 이근호, e-mail : khlee@kice.re.kr
