| Popis: | The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a general education course called ‘Future Society and Government’ as a competency-based curriculum and to evaluate its effectiveness. For this, a formative research method called ‘Development Study’ was used. Thereafter, in the phase of the development of the course, expert consulting was conducted, and in the phase of implementation, the learning outcomes and other data were collected and analyzed to evaluate its effectiveness. Furthermore, since this course set higher-order thinking, communication, and information & technology utilization as target competencies, performance tasks, evaluation criteria, and rubrics have been developed to improve and evaluate these competencies effectively. Teaching activities and feedback have also been provided around these competencies. As a result, the course resulted in a clear positive change in the students’ core competencies and target behaviors. This is because it showed that students' achievement and competency levels actually improved in the four sub-tasks, which became increasingly difficult as the task progressed. Also, students perceived significant growth in their competency levels, as shown by pre- and post-test results comparison, course evaluation scores, and student feedback comments. Finally, this study comprehensively examined the process and results of this course, derived opinions for future improvement, and summarized the significance and limitations of the research. |
