다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The credit system in high schools has been pursued as a major curriculum reform agenda in Korea. As part of this effort, the Outline of the 2022 National Curriculum containing the high school credit system was released in November 2021. After undergoing a complementary process, it shall be adopted as a new national curriculum in later 2022. The aim of this study is to compare the recently released outline with teachers’ perceptions of the guidelines for high schools in the new national curriculum. To achieve this goal, this study makes use of survey data collected from high school teachers in charge of curriculum matters. The main findings support that, despite considerable accordance, a few significant discrepancies exist between the survey results and changes anticipated in the outline. It also turns out that teachers put more emphasis on the effective organization of elective courses than simply expanding their numbers. They also reckon that the provision of instructors, improvement of school facilities and learning environment, and provision of support for underachievers are major challenges in implementing credit-based curricula. Based on these findings, this study proposes the main issues and challenges that should be considered in terms of the high school credit system before the 2022 National Curriculum is finally determined.
