Unit design plan for the integration of population education and moral education: Focusing on Drake’s KDB Model

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the unit design plan for the integration of populationeducation and elementary school moral education. Methods: Drake's integrated curriculum model application was analyzed through an analysis of previous studies on the integrated unit design method that utilized Drake's KDB model. In particular,since this study is not an interdisciplinary study, it was reorganized as a task in which the subject and subject were selected first, and this was different from the existing order of the composition of the integrated unit. In this way, the core content elements and values of population education were presented as a result of the unit design plan and integrated with elementary school moral education. Results: In order to design an integrated unit that focused on population education and elementary school moral education the achievement standards and content elements of the moral education department and the content elements of population education were integrated and reorganized through application of the KDB model, and the results were presented as a guide plan for a total of six lessons. Conclusion: This study sought to find a more effective approach to population and moral education in the era of low fertility and aging by suggesting a design plan for an integrated unit of elementary school moral education and population education.
