National Identity in Korean Curriculum

Authors

Abstract

The concept of national identity has evolved during the last half century within the Korean social studies curriculum. There have been seven curricular revisions since the first national curriculum was released in 1955. Each time the concept of national identity was changed with the biggest changes to this concept within the last two iterations of the social studies curriculum. After a review of the curricular revisions, a discussion of the implications of these changes indicates a much different view of national identity than just a short while ago.
