The purposes of this study was to : 1) review the curriculum changes in technical high school from the 1945 Liberation to 1984, 2) examine the characteristics, objectives and organizations of the curriculum and, 3) search for the future directions of the curriculum development. Development of technical high school education programs was divided into four periods. The characteristics of THS curriculum during these periods was summarized as follows.
1. Embryonic Period (1945-1962)-After the foundation of the Republic of Korea, the technical high schools were included in high school system according to the Education Law promulgated in 1949. The technical high schools were created to develop competent industrial production workers. General subjects of the technical high schools were same as the general high schools during this period. Specialized subjects accounted for more than 30 percent of the total school hours.
2. Established Period (1963-1972)-Ministry of Education responding to the first Five-Year Plan for economic development, established a new technical high school curriculum in 1963. General course were modified to meet the needs of technical high school students. The educational aim of THS was the training skilled worker and technicians. THS placed stress on specialized subjects which were made-up than 50 percent of total school hours. Also, more hours were spent in practice compared to theory in specialized courses.
3. Developed Period (1973-1979)-Remarkable development was achieved by THS during this period. Technical high schools were subdivided into general, mechanical, special and model technical high schools. Their graduates were eligible for technical qualification and licences after passing test. THS had given the more consideration to the specialized subjects and practice than general subjects and theory.
4. Converting Period (1980-1984)-A change in educational policy in 1980 created a turning point for THS's. The new policy emphasizes educating Industrial Technicians more than training skilled workers. Technical high schools were again included in the high school system. THS placed increased emphasis on general subjects which comprise 43-60 percent of total school hours. The 1981 curriculum revision established elective subjects (e.g., General Mechanics, General Electrics, Computer, Industrial English, Industrial Safety). All THS students are able to select elective subjects outside their own major.
