This studied the environment education in the science curriculum by investigating and analyzing the each grade teaching contents in the changes of science curriculum and in the 7th science curriculum. It is for presenting the direction of unified, systematical and supplementary environment education by knowing the environment education changes and each chapter teaching contents in the 7th curriculum.
First, in the case of science curriculum changes,
The environmental terms appeared in the 5th curriculum and the independent choice of the environment subject came true in the 6th curriculum. The environment is also an optional subject in the 7th curriculum, but it is pushed out by the students' computer subject preference
Second in the case of each grade teaching contents,
In the 7th curriculum the number of the 7th, 8th and 9th grades teaching chapters are, 8, 12 and 8. Among them there are not the environment teaching contents. The environment is in the last chapter of the 10th grade. So it can be neglected
Third, in general,
Regarding the importance of environment education and the seriousness of environmental problems, the environment subject needs to be changed from optional subject to compulsory subject. The environmental problems which occur or connect in the contents of each chapter each grade need to be treated in that chapter for the continuous environment education. The importance of environment needs to be known by cooperative endeavor of all subjects and by applying the grades to the entrance test.
