B. Content Structure of “Environment and Green Growth” Curriculum
With focus on the above-mentioned direction for revision, the main content of
the 2009 Revised “Environment and Green Growth” Curriculum is as follows:
First, emphasis was not solely given to environmental problems in the
introduction part of “character.” Instead, climate change and problems of resource
and energy were emphasized. As a countermeasure, the concept of green growth
was introduced. Second, in the beginning part of “content,” “environment project”
was positioned as a reminder to the fact that this encompasses all the chapters.
Third, the major chapter on “resource and energy” was selected as the third major
chapter. Another major chapter on “understanding of and response to climate
change” is newly inserted as an individual chapter. Thus, under this major chapter
on “understanding of and response to climate change,” there are minor chapters
such as “cause and effect of climate change” and “countermeasure against climate
change.” Fourth, the first major chapter on “environment and human life” includes a
smaller chapter on “human civilization and environment.” This allows for study on
environmental problems caused by industrial activities of humans. Fifth, under the
major chapter on “environment and human life,” a subchapter on “sustainable
development and green growth” was included, allowing the concept of sustainable
development to be linked with the concept of green growth. Sixth, a new
subchapter on “biological environment” was newly created under the major chapter
on “environmental problems and countermeasures.” Seventh, under the major
chapter on “green growth and sustainable society,” subchapters on “green growth
and policy” and “building environment-friendly infrastructure” was included so that
students can learn about green technology, green industry and green infrastructure,
which are the key factors of green growth. Eighth, the major chapter on “the road
to green society” was better organized. Two subchapters on “practice at individual
and local society level” and “national and international efforts” are included. This
demonstrates that environmental practice is expanded from the individual level to
local, national and global levels. Ninth, various formats for performance assessment
