Design and Implementation Plan for Integrated High School Curriculum Classes: Focusing on 'Literature' and 'Ethics and Thoughts’

This study proposes a way to add depth and interest in learning classical novels. It is an integrated class between subjects through combination with the contents of the 'ethics and thought' subject. In order to pursue an in-depth understanding of classical novels using the socio-cultural and ideological context of literary works, an integrated class of 'literature' and 'ethics and thought' subjects, which are optional courses for high school, was designed. To this end, the analysis, design, and development stages were discussed by referring to the ADDIE model widely used in teaching and learning design. In the analysis and design stage, the achievement criteria of the curriculum that can realize the goals of this study were selected, and the learning goals and learning contents were sequenced. In the development stage, based on the contents of the previous stage, a plan for producing teaching and learning materials that can be practically used and a course plan that will be the basis for class implementation was presented. In the future era, integration will be more important than the segmentation of knowledge. In order to improve learners' practical thinking skills, develop solutions to various complex problems in the real world, and promote critical creative thinking, integration between subjects should be discussed much more actively than now. The integrated class of the two subjects proposed in this study is expected to develop various core competencies and thinking skills of learners. The significance of this study is that it proposed specific implementation plans in high school education, where discussions on inter-subject integration are not active.
