2022년 개정 교과과정상 민주시민교육의 의미와 민주주의 역사 활용 가능성

Meaning of Democratic Citizenship Education and Possibility of Utilizing Democratic History in the 2022 Revised Curriculum: Focusing on the Case of Gwangju Metropolitan City

The 2022 revised curriculum pursues self-directed students with inclusivity and creativity in an ideal way. This is because, amid the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution artificial intelligence era due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis, a new change to a practical educational paradigm such as on-site acceptance, diversity, and student-customization of school education was required. However, the importance of democratic citizenship education, which intends to promote community self-discovery, awareness of social participation, and practice solidarity, has increased. This paper examines the contents of the 2022 revised curriculum from the perspective of democratic citizenship education and compares the history of student democracy, a characteristic of the region's historical culture, with the contents of the new curriculum as the subject of democratic citizenship education that can be conducted by the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education. To this end, I introduce the purpose of the revision and future talent appearance in the general overview of the 2022 revised curriculum announced by the Ministry of Education (2021), and analyzes the relationship between the four tasks and democratic citizenship education. In addition, I explore whether the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education can educate students in the history of participating in social issues in the Japanese colonial era independence movement and the post-liberation democratization movement in light of the 2022 revised curriculum. As a result, it is argued that the unique culture of the regional level can be the subject of democratic citizenship education necessary for the formation of students' community self.
