This study aims to develop a cultural heritage curriculum for climate change and present educational directions for cultural heritage and climate change impact in the future. In this study, the role and necessity of cultural heritage education for climate change were first discussed based on previous studies on climate change and cultural heritage. Next, the current status analysis of educational cases related to climate change and cultural heritage was conducted based on educational manuals, curriculum, and heritage competency systems associated with climate change. Finally, we propose a plan to develop a curriculum to cope with climate change and cultural heritage for graduate students in higher education institutions based on the four components of developing a curriculum. In future studies, we intend to propose guidelines for designing educational manuals and specific curricula for each educational target to cope with the climate change of cultural heritage presented in this study.

본 연구의 목적은 지구계 교육을 통하여 과학을 공부하는 10학년의 학생들에게 도움이 되고자 하는 것이다. 지구계 교육은 과학 교과 간 구분을 완화하고 조화로운 교수-학습을 이루어감으로써 올바른 자연관과 인간관 육성에 기여할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 지구계 교육 프로그램 중 '화산 폭발과 기후 변화(Volcanic Eruptions and Global Climate Change)'라는 주제를 선정하고 이를 7차 교육 과정의 '과학' 교과에 적합하도록 수정, 보완하여 그 적용가능성을 점검해 보았다. 그 결과 과학에 대한 인식(p=0.003), 과학에 대한 흥미(p〈0.001), 과학적 태도(p〈0.001) 등의 과학에 대한 태도의 변화에 있어서 실험 집단이 통제 집단에 비해 거의 모든 영역에서 긍정적 변화를 보였다. 학업 성취도면에서는 지구계 교육 프로그램을 적용한 실험 집단이 전통적 수업을 진행한 통제 집단보다 높은 학업 성취도를 보였다(p=0.038). 실험 집단의 학생들은 적극적이고 진지한 태도로 수업에 임했으며 자기 주도적으로 학습하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 과학 교과에 지구계 교육 프로그램의 적용은 학생들의 과학적 흥미와 호기심 고양 및 과학적 소질과 올바른 자연관 신장에 좋은 영향을 줄 것으로 기대할 수 있다.

Climate change is practically everywhere in the world, and education should pay particular attention to the issue since the challenges that climate change poses to the society, technology, and environments are predicted to be monumental. Climate change is no longer a subject discussed solely by scientists because of the complex web of “causes and impacts” of altered climate system. Education is believed to be one of the key ingredients for the better solutions that would work for long term goals. However, educating future generations about climate change issues, especially in higher teaching institutions where leaders of coming years grow has a long path to follow to synthesize different fragments of climate sciences that are taught by multiple yet disconnected disciplines spanning Environmental Sciences, Physics, Engineering, Economics and Political Science. One promising way to address the complex nature of issues in the climate change is through science, technology, society, and environment (STSE) education. STSE education is an umbrella term, bridging a vast array of different types of theorizing about the interface between science and the social world. To achieve the teaching goals, curriculums and pedagogies of STSE education should be much more than infusion or the reference to science and technology and its application to society and environment. Drawing on existing literature in the STSE education, this research presents an overview of examples of STSE pedagogies and curriculum structures applicable to the subject, followed by a realization of STSE education practice for a university level climatology course.
