This study is to examine schools’ response to the application of the 2009 Revised National Curriculum at individual schools. For this, we sampled 24 schools throughout the country in consideration of school level, area, and type, surveying teachers at the sampled schools. In addition, we monitored problems such as ‘overemphasis on curriculums,’ ‘imbalance in the allocation of teaching hours,’ ‘shrinkage of specific curriculums’ at the sampled schools, and for each curriculum, investigated ‘change in the teaching hours of the curriculum caused by the intensive course system,’ ‘change in the knowledge/content level of the curriculum caused by the intensive course system,’ ‘change in school operation caused by the intensive course system,’ and ‘methods to cope with negative changes caused by the intensive course system.’ Based on these results of monitoring, we propose strategies for the effective application and improvement of the 2009 Revised National Curriculum on two dimensions, namely, the dimension of schools and that of teacher education institutions.
