2019 Revised Nuri Curriculum, What’s Next? : An essay on the revision of the national early childhood curriculum

Abstract

This essay is an introduction containing the researcher's suggestions on the revision of the national early childhood curriculum. Through the exploration of changes in the educational paradigm, the considerations of education demanded by the future society, and voices from early childhood teachers on the current curriculum, the paradigm of the follow-up curriculum and the values, contents, and ideas to be pursued were described in four dimensions. First, while proposing ‘posthuman child-learning’ as a paradigm for the follow-up curriculum, it was described that the value of care should be further emphasized and embodied in the language of the curriculum. And for a sustainable future, it was suggested that digital ethics and ecological ethics should be incorporated into the contents of the curriculum, and that the play-based curriculum should be expanded to the meaning of ‘curriculum of/for playful learning'. In the discussion, the tasks of revising the follow-up curriculum was mentioned, while describing that the researcher suggestions are interdependently connected and covered by the perspective of posthuman ethico-onto-epistem-ology.
