An exploration for evaluation of the 2022 revised elementary moral curriculum

Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the characteristics of the evaluation and to propose a more developmental direction by analyzing the direction and method of evaluation proposed in the 2022 revised elementary moral curriculum draft. Methods: Following analysis of the details of the evaluation direction and method shown in the 2022 revised elementary moral curriculum draft, the characteristics were summarized into three areas. Results: Research revealed that the 2022 revised elementary moral curriculum draft aims to have ‘evaluation that strengthens student agency’, ‘evaluation that strengthens capability and effective doing morals’ and ‘evaluation of multiple overlap for morality formation’. Conclusion: The 2022 revised elementary moral curriculum draft emphasizes ‘evaluation that strengthens student agency’ as an initiative through the composition of a three-dimensional content system, by overcoming student's passivity and seeking active participation in moral problems. And Through the ‘evaluation that strengthens competence and effective doing morals’, the principles of ‘doing morals’ are also actively reflected in the evaluation to strengthen the capabilities linked to practice. In addition, while considering the student’s individuality and individual differences, the draft proposes an evaluation of multiple overlapping that secures the diversity of evaluation methods and pursues the formation of morality.
