A Study of Core Literacy-Oriented Special Education Curriculum Reform and Implementation Dilemmas in Korea:An Analysis Based on the 2015 Edition of the Korean Special Education Curriculum Program and Curriculum Standards
China's current experimental program and curriculum standards for special school curriculum are facing many practical challenges,and the core literacy-oriented compulsory education curriculum reform has pointed out a new direction for special school curriculum construction.The 2015 special education curriculum re-form in South Korea introduced a core literacy framework system,refined the subject matter literacy appropriate for students with cognitive disabilities,and reconstructed the curriculum content around the core concepts of the subject matter.Based on the analysis of the 2015 version of the Korean special education curriculum program and curriculum standards,it was found that the core literacy-oriented special education curriculum reform was gener-ally recognized by the Korean special education community,but the implementation process encountered a gap between the ideal and the reality.Based on this,it is recommended that China's special education curriculum reform should move from the dual-track operation to an integrated design,focus on the development of core litera-cy-oriented curricula for students with intellectual disabilities,and continue to improve the curricular competence of special schools and special education teachers.
