This study was designed to find out how to apply effective classes of sense of place and mental map working introduced in Unit 1 of the 3rd grade in the 2015 revised curriculum according to the revised elementary social studies, and to provide directions to effectively implement the goals intended for snese of place learning in the course of education at the actual site. The results of the study are summarized as follows: First, sense of place learning is a subject that is appropriate to the level of development of learners. A sense of place was introduced in the 2015 revised curriculum. In case of location learning, it was composed of public geographical area learning after dealing with a private geographic areas. This will help learners to extend the level of region, which is wider than the village level. Second, a mental map drawing activity is an activity that is free to express a learner's sense of place. The mental map drawing activity does not have the same frame that the learner is required to do. Learners don't need to paint and writing down sense of place is a significant activity. Third, after learning the village, it was effective to introduce the region. After dealing with the village in this study, the region was dealt with, and it was easier to reach the learning goal. Fourth, the definition of a malfunction presented in the textbook needs to be changed to suit the learner. The definition of a place where people live can include apartments, schools, and villages for learners. Therefore, it is necessary to define terms that reduce ambiguity and fit the class with social studies. In addition, Teachers need to think about how to deal with the gap between the actual administrative district and the region area that comes to mind when they are working on mental map drawing. Fifth, it was possible for learners to form a central class. Mental map drawing activities begin with a learner's individual and take place as a process of sharing among learners. In the course of this process, a learner, not a teacher, stood at the center.

The purpose of this study is to clarify and find solutions to the causes and problems of the 'concepts and character descriptions of urban places and rural places' in elementary social studies, focusing on the difficulty of applying them to the various real spaces in which students live and making it more difficult for them to distinguish them from their own in real life. The order of progress of the study is as follows. First, the related prior study was analyzed to identify specific problems when teaching students about urban and rural contents, and then identified them by linking them with the academic meaning of the urbans and rurals. Based on this, I analyzed curriculum documents and textbook contents with the 2015 revised elementary school society to identify how 'urban and rural' is defined and described in textbooks, and suggested solutions for problems caused by such descriptions. for this purpose, The method of study was based on the study of literature, and the results of the study were as follows. First, in the department of elementary society, cities and rurals are based on academic definitions, but they are difficult to apply to the various real spaces in which students live, and because of these problems, students have many difficulties in learning the concept of cities and rurals. Second, through the analysis of educational curriculum documents and textbooks with elementary school departments, I wanted to explain why students find it difficult to learn urban and rural areas. Third, the problems revealed in the description of the curriculum documents and textbooks in urbans and rurals are that the boundaries of the concept are blurred because the concepts of urbans and rurals are presented in a prototype model, that the academic meaning of the city and its administrative meaning are improperly confused, Etc. Fourth, based on the above analysis results, solutions were presented at the curriculum level and class level.
