Comparative Analysis of United States and South Korean High School

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the California high school curriculum in the United States and provide basic data that can be used to modify the curriculum. Research as a basis for curriculum revision should be clarified in scope and purpose compared to a brief introduction to overseas education trends. Curriculum comparisons, in particular, tend to lose their direction of analysis due to country-specific curriculum document systems on the subject, format, content organization method, organization, and time allocation of curriculum notifications. It is beyond the scope of this article to simply compare the data presented in this article to infer its impact on curriculum revision. The results of the study are as follows. First it needs to rethink what the role of the curriculum document is. Second, restructuring the curriculum according to the simple graduation requirements proposed by the state of California in the United States can be said to require a lot of credits to complete the Korean high school curriculum. Third, the ratio of required and required subjects in the United States and Canada and required subjects were not significantly different from that in Korea.. 1
