요약

본 논문의 목적은 2000년부터 순차적으로 적용되기 시작한 제7차 초등학교 도덕과 교육과정이 어떻게 실천되고 있으며, 그 과정에서 어떤 어려움이 있고, 또 무엇을 보완해야 할 것인가에 초점을 두고, 초등 도덕 수업의 내실화를 위한 몇 가지 방안을 제시하는데 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 첫째, 현행 초등 도덕교육의 위상이 도덕교육에 대한 경시풍조와 관련되어 매우 약화되었음을 밝히고, 둘째, 현행 초등 도덕교육의 실태를 초등학교 ‘안’의 문제(교육과정 운영에서 나타나는 문제) 와 ‘밖’의 문제(초등 도덕교육에 대한 사회의 인식 및 분위기에서 발생하는 문제)로 나누어 살펴보았으며, 셋째,초등 도덕교육의 발전 방안으로서, 초등 도덕교육에 대한 이론적 • 실제적 정당화 근거를 확보하여 초등 도덕교육의 위상 제고, 제7차 도덕과 교육과정의 내실있는 운영, 초등학교 도덕과 수업의 원리에 대한 체계적인 지식과 활용 능력을 갖추기, 학교 도덕교육을 저해하는 전반적인 교육 체제 개선 등을 제시하였다.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to propose the proper ways how to accomplish the goal of moral teaching effectively according to the 7th moral curriculum. To the end, First, I analysed how the 7th moral curriculum is practised, what are difficulties and what is supplemented to solve the problems. While analysing the realities of moral education based on 7th moral curriculum in the elementary school, I found that all the members of school including teachers and students didn’t consider the moral teaching as a important educational activity. This recognition connected, therefore, closely ’the crisis of moral education.

This paper focused on two points. One is how is connected between the crisis of moral education and the present position of moral education in the elementary school. The other is what is the realities of moral education, and if any, what is the problems and how to solve them effectively. In order to examine the realities of moral education,I approached two ways,that is,’in’ and ’out’ of the elementary school. The former means the management of moral curriculum,the latter moral environment of home and community as the supporter of moral education in the elementary school. As the proper ways for development of moral education,I proposed the producing of the theoretical and practical rationale of moral education, the promotion of knowledge and using ability in moral teaching and improvement of bad environment around the elementary school.
