A Study on the Educational Issues of Elective Subjects Recognized by High School Teachers

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the overall status of various issues related to the management of elective courses in Korean high schools. To this end, the study surveyed 7,338 teachers. Survey questions included the following items according to the CIPP model: Elective planning, elective management, elective impact and effectiveness, curriculum options, subject selection based on student career perception, teacher competency. As a result of this study, teachers responded that school electives were being operated properly. In particular, the teacher recognized that the process-oriented evaluation was being performed properly. On the other hand, the degree of satisfaction related to the environment for the operation of elective courses was relatively low. Based on these results, this study presented a proposal to properly manage the elective curriculum.
