교육내용 선정의 두 기준 ; 교육내용 선정의 문제와 발전과제 = Two Criteria of Selecting Educational Contents ; the External and the Internal

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The matter of selecting educational contents amounts to, first of all, the matter of identifying the selection criteria of present educational contents. This study investigated the selection criteria of educational contents by classifying that criteria into the external criterion and the internal criterion. Individual or social need belong to the external criterion, in they are sort of objectives having the educational content as their own means, and in that they have no conceptual relationship with the educational content. The rise of such external criterion has a high possibility of injuring the concept of education itself, by allowing educators to take every kind of real life problems as an educational content in the name of `needs`. We may find, from `the structure of knowledge` and `the forms of knowledge`, an alternative to the external criterion. The structure of knowledge and the forms of knowledge explain internal charateristics of the traditional subjects(the theoretical subjects) from the viewpoint of the subject`s content and value, and imply the internal criterion selecting of educational contents. Selecting educational contents with the internal criterion, differently from the case of selecting educational contents with the external criterion, does not mean selecting any specific content which is concident with the criterion, among various educational contents. Such selection intends to reveal that the education itself is an engagement guaranteeing `good life` of the next generation by cultivating their mind through school subjcets, and by letting that cultivating activity continue to the next generation.
