This study proposed improvements to the Moral Education Curriculum-related questions in the Elementary School Teacher Appointment Examination and suggested tasks for elementary moral education research. To this end, I analysed the trends in Moral Education Curriculum-related questions in the Elementary School Teacher Appointment Examination. The analysis revealed that many questions were based on the Teacher's Guide, with questions related to Teaching and Learning Models accounting for a high proportion, and that the content related to teaching and learning, evaluation was not well balanced. The examination fails to evaluate new Moral Education theories that reflect changes in the curriculum. As an improvement direction for questions related to the Moral Education Curriculum, it is proposed that the basis for question formulation should place greater emphasis on the Moral Education Curriculum rather than the Teacher's Guide, and that questions should be formulated to verify whether candidates are aware of changes in the curriculum. As a task for Elementary Moral Education Research, it is necessary to make efforts to supplement Moral Education Theories that align with the new curriculum and textbooks, ensure that descriptions related to teaching and learning, evaluation in the curriculum and Teacher's Guide are harmoniously presented, and make efforts to use consistent terminology in elementary education-related educational terminology.
