It's nonsense for us not to consider responsibility of states and teachers in development and administration of school curriculum.
In other words, when they perform school curriculum in one class, teachers follow national level school curriculum which affect school curriculum considering social needs rather than their decision.
Our school curriculum consists of national level school curriculum which is a document written by state, district level organizing and operating guideline for school curriculums which reflect characteristic of each district and needs of each school, school level school curriculums which are made by each school considering real condition of school, and class level school curriculums which are actually performed in class. That is, developing of each level school curriculums maintains sequence and interrelationship from national level to class level.
When school curriculums are realized in education scenes and are applied to subjects of education, school curriculums can obtain meaningfulness. Nevertheless, some criticize that national level school curriculum don't reflect needs of scene thoroughly. Because of that, we must seek alternatives to narrow these gap between paper and reality.
The purpose of this study is to propose reformation of National Level Special School Curriculum to provide more effective education in actual special education field. To accomplish the purpose, relevant laws, theses, and books which are related to national level special school curriculum.
Researcher reached to a conclusion which are subdivided into special school curriculum which promotes "inclusion education", special school curriculum which are appropriate for personalized needs and characteristics, and special school curriculum which improve efficiency of therapy support. This conclusion is summarized below:
Firstly, we need to build basis for organizing and operating of school curriculum which are considering characteristics and learning ability of special education subjects and which are suitable for inclusion education.
To practice efficient inclusion education, ordinary school curriculums have to include understanding disability education, alternatives of organizing and operating special school curriculum must be proposed for education in inclusion class. Also, right of special education subjects must be protected and respected through cooperation education between ordinary teachers and special teachers etc. We need ways of cooperation between ordinary teachers and special teachers, and ways of establishing relationship between ordinary school curriculums and special school curriculums in inclusion class. Because school curriculum applied to special education subjects in inclusion class can be recognized as ultimate stage of inclusion education and measure for accessing into ordinary education. Developing and operating of special school curriculum must be realized for reestablishing relationship with ordinary school curriculums.
Secondly, we need to seek ways that make teachers teach according to "individualized education plans (IEP)" as well as laws which prescribe making IEP which reflect unique educational needs of special education subjects. IEP written according to school curriculums are in danger of unsuitability for each subjects.
Reforming of making IEP system must be carried because current IEP can be in discord with ability of special education subjects caused by concept which the older students are, the higher level of school curriculum is. We expect that we can actually utilize IEP and examine ways of developing concrete functions and roles of IEP through readjusting IEP system. So we can make most proper IEP which are geared towards individual needs of special education subjects.
Also, all kinds of instruction on special school curriculum need to be served to each school swiftly. In this respect, it is advisable to switch from current triple school curriculum system(national level-district level-school level) to dual system(national level-school level). Practically each district office of education doesn't have enough human resources for special school curriculums, district level school curriculum may overlap with other school curriculums and thus result in delay of time and unnecessary expenses. We can consider a suggestion that district level curriculum focus on scholarship.
If national level school curriculums contain more subdivided instructions, it is worth considering suggestion that government agencies or government-contributed organizations collect materials analyzed in education library on the basis of national level school curriculum. Special class students in the ordinary school as well as special school students will be able to receive application of special school curriculums whenever they want.
And we can satisfy educational needs of special education subjects when provisions for evaluating special school curriculum are inserted, and they are basis of making IEP and teaching.
Reforming of National Educational Information System (NEIS) is necessary so that it enable us document IEP, and rearrange subjects taught considering health and disability of student.
Thirdly, Sufficient information about operating therapeutic support need to be provided. We think that therapeutic education had been an important part in the special school curriculum, and it had reflected distinct characteristic of special education. However, therapeutic education changed into therapeutic support after amending of the law on special education. It is unfortunate fact that therapeutic education course was deleted in curriculum. It is unargued that we need to receive various support for development of special education and learning rights of students. Thus, educational contents of therapeutic support must be decided considering disability type of each students. Therapeutic support need to be operated deliberately according to disability ty
