Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest the future of education by exploring the direction of curriculum reconceptualization after COVID-19. The research method is literature synthesis. The review of the research literature resulted in the following findings. First, the reconceptualization of educational objectives must educate a new value chain. Education on a new value chain is needed to create a better order to replace the previous status quo of modern society. Second, the reconceptualization of the curriculum requires the formation and implementation of a convergence curriculum in order to foster creative convergence-type abilities adept for future society. Third, the reconceptualization of educational methods must realize various educational methods suitable for the changed learning tendencies of the digital generation.Fourth, for the reconceptualization of education methods, process-based paper-and-pencil evaluations and process-oriented performance evaluations should be balanced. In addition, absolute evaluation rather than relative evaluation is required. It is difficult to reconceptualize the formal decision process in the school field, but it is possible to reconceptualize the performance process. In this respect, it is believed that it will be helpful to nurture talented individuals suitable for future society if teachers are interested in even a partial reconceptualization of the curriculum.
