전류와 관련한 내용에 대한 교육과정에서 검토해야 할 사항 = Reconsideration of Curriculum Related to Current

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We suggest solving directions for problems in the national curriculum related to electric current through comparing it with an American textbook. The most serious problem is in subject of “electrostatics”. The chapter for electrostatics in 7th grade should play a bridge role between “electric circuit” in 5th grade and “electricity” in 9th grade. We would like to explain why the concept of electric current should be introduced in “electrostatics” area and how the electrostatics chapter helps learning electric current. Also we are trying to point out that a closed circuit is very important compared to an open circuit. Finally, some points, such as metal in triboelectric effect, role of battery, and separation between conductor and insulator will be discussed.
