다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to provide suggestions for the innovation of Korean secondary education. The suggestions were dervied from in - depth study regarding various subjects taught in secondary school, such as Korean language, Mathematics, English, Social Studies and Science.
Five kinds of questionnaires were developed and answered by a total of 728 secondary teachers. The teachers were selected nation-wide by stratified cluster sampling method. Major results of this study are as follows :
A student-centered teaching model of Korean language focusing on the improvement of creative and critical thinking was developed.
Examples of effective teaching method for developing mathematical literacy were presented.
Some suggestions for improving English education were proposed ;
The curriculum should be established by both the top- down process from the educational administers and the curriculum developers, and the bottom-up process from the teachers : furthermore, the teachers should be allowed to adapt it for their own classes.
Each school should be able to choose class- types; for example, small classes with less than 25 students, large classes with around 50 students, class placement by the students' proficiency, or team teaching. Multimedia English classrooms will be needed for more effective whole-class activities, group work, and individual work to overcome the problems with too many students in a class or with students with various proficiency in a class.
The testing system should be changed completely, The entrance examinations for higher- level schools or nation-wide written tests should be abolished. Then, each city or district should have a center for testing and developing teaching aids to help teachers by providing listening test items and teaching aids, and administering direct testing for speaking or writing.
Teacher qualifying examinations and reeducation programs for teachers should be changed to have better-qualified English teachers for the 21st C.
A curricular and instructional model emphasizing the improvement of students' ability to dealing with various social problems was proposed.
