교육의 준거와 교과의 교육목적 = Review of Aims of Subject-matters by Criteria of Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In terms of R. S. Peters` criteria of `education`, the study analyzed relevance of aims of subject-matters stated in the literatures of subject-matter education such as Korean Language, Mathematics, English, Music. Peters analyzed three criteria of `education` which are logically built into the concept of it: normative, cognitive and procedural aspects. The major aims of subject-matters were summarized as follows: 1. Korean Language: Improvement of language competence 2. Mathematics: Improvement of mathematical thinking process 3. English: Development of competence in language and communication 4. Music: Development of aesthetic sensitivity The study judged that the aims of subject-matters of Korean Language and English have low relevance to Peters` criteria of `education`, because they overlook development of cognitive perspectives, due to their functional proficiency of the languages. Meanwhile, those of Mathematics and Music have high relevancy, because they emphasize development knowledge and cognitive perspectives. Accordingly, this study concludes that relevance of the aims of subjects with Peters` criteria of `education` are varied according to subjects. The study recommended that the aims of subject-matters should be prescribed in terms of Peters` criteria of `education` as well as characteristics of subject-matters.
