The purpose of this is study to investigate the background of revision, educational objectives, organization, contents of the high school common science and earth science curriculum in the sixth curriculum, and to analyze problems of this curriculum by making a comparative study between fifth curriculum and sixth curriculum.
The characteristics and problems of the common science and the solving methods for these problems are as follows.
First, in regard to objectives of common science, the expression of solving capacity for real life should be changed to issues concerning phenomena and changes of environment life.
Second, in regard to the contents of common science, degree of integration should be reexamined, because the present common science curriculum is integrated formally, externally. Besides, contents about science history should be included in contents of the present common science curriculum.
Third, the problems in teaching common science is to produce teachers who are able to teach integrated curriculum effectively for this in-service for teachers should be implemented near-sighted and the system of science teacher education should be reorganized far-sighted.
Forth, available teaching-learning model of common science should be developed for preparing effective teacher's guides and materials.
The implication of this study is that it is more necessary to consider problems of sixth common science curriculum and to implement the curriculum in high school.
