地學의 內容과 方法의 敎材化에 관한 小考 : Earth Science Curriculum Project-'Investigating the Earth'-을 中心으로 based on the Investigating the Earth = A Study on Earth Science Curriculum Project

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the later half of the twentieth century, there have been made a series of new attempts to reorganize the science curriculum for elementary and secondary schools. Initiated in the United States, these new approaches differ greatly from the traditional method of curriculum construction in terms of their philosophical guidelines, particularly regarding to matters such as objectives of science education, concept of both general science and natural science, concept of society, and students' interest in science.
ESCP-Investigating the Earth is written on the basis of such developments. It proposes to take the concept of dynamic earth as underlying principles for earth science and to prepare teaching materials in such a way as to facilitate methodology and subject matter as an inquiring process. The gist of ESCP can be summarized as follows:
1) Science as an inquiring
2) Earth science as an organized knowledge to be understood through a program based on synthetical foundation of several underlying principles
3) Earth science as an important subject matter for elementary schools since the earth science and other branches of natural science share in common many of their basic concepts.
With the ESCP approach as general directions, the main focus in this paper has been directed toward identifying the philosophy condusive to the construction of systematically integrated body of teaching materials for earth science as a field of general science.
