사회과 선택교육과정 통합의 전략 연구 － '법'과 '정치'에서, '법과 정치'로 －

This study is an analysis of curriculum related to 'Law and Politics' -one of 2009 new social studies elective curriculum courses- which was analyzed in the aspect of integration. I set a standard of analysis, studied the meaning and necessity that integrated curriculum has as a standard to figure out the problem,types and ways of real integration. Especially in the sight of academic form among the types of integration, I found that there exist a way of multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary integration. Also I confirmed that 'Law and Politics' is close to the way of multi-disciplinary integration by the result of further analysis. With this standard, I found problems that 'Law and Politics' curriculum can have. And the result is follows: First of all, it used a concept just same as the one from original studies such as law and politics, maintaining a system of its original discipline, so because of that learners still have big pressure and it can cause trouble in textbook writing and field teaching practice. Also it is hard to accomplish the purpose which is to cultivate the skills of solving complex problems, overlook an experimental curriculum by facing a series of courses which from social conflict and its resolution to institutionalization of conflict resolution. Therefore, to overcome these problems, we should draw inter-disciplinary integration between law and politics, and for specific contents construction strategy, I also suggest that we need to extract contents flexibly focusing key topics, issues, and problems.
