2022 도덕과 교육과정에서 고등학교 선택과목 ‘생활과 윤리’ 과목 명칭 유지에 대한 교사 요구 분석 = An analysis of Ethics teachers’ needs for maintaining the name of ‘Life and Ethics’ as a High School Ethics elective course in the 2022 revised Moral Education Curriculum

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper discusses the results of the analysis of teachers' demands for maintaining the name of the high school ethics elective course. As a result of the analysis of the demand for the name of the subject, teachers said that changing the name of the elective course from ‘Life and Ethics’ to ‘Modern Society and Ethics’ in the course of the revision of the Moral Education curriculum in 2022 lacks a valid rationale for the name change and the expected effect of the name change. And it has the effect of undermining the identity of subject such as characteristics and goal. To change the name of an existing course, there must be a clear rationale to justify the change and to persuade students who choose to study the elective as an SAT course and teachers who have a responsibility for effective instructional guidance. Teachers recognized that the change of course name from 'Life and Ethics' to 'Modern Society and Ethics' was an undemocratic decision-making that did not have a valid basis in terms of academic knowledge, subject education, and social-cultural demands and did not collect the opinions of teachers. So, Ethics teachers insist on keeping course name as 'Ethics and Life'.
