THE ALIGNMENT OF ETHICS CURRICULUM CONTENT WITH KEY QUALITIES, GENERAL COMPETENCIES AND SPECIFIC COMPETENCES IN PRIMARY EDUCATION

The 2018 General Education Program defined the expected outcomes for five key qualities and three general competencies; the subject programs defined the expected outcomes for specific competencies. This raises the question: how does the curriculum content of subjects in general, and the Ethics in particular, align with these outcomes? Examining this alignment is essential for the development and improvement of the general education program. Through document review, analysis of subject curriculum content and expert consultation, this article presents the alignment of the Ethics curriculum content for primary school with the expected outcomes for key qualities and general competences in the 2018 General Education Program, as well as specific competences in subject curriculum. Based on this analysis, the article proposes adjustments and additions to some expected outcomes related to qualities, general competencies, and specific competencies in the Ethics curriculum to ensure closer alignment.
