AB - This study aims to examine the current status of informatics curriculum organization and implementation in high schools nationwide under the 2022 Revised National Curriculum and to provide evidence-based implications for equitable and systematic informatics education. Using data from the School Information Disclosure System (Schoolinfo), we quantitatively examined curriculum organization and operation materials from 1,702 schools, including general high schools, specialized high schools, and autonomous high schools. A focus group interview (FGI) with six in-service informatics teachers was also conducted to examine the causes underlying the findings and the feasibility of proposed improvements from a practitioner perspective. The results revealed that while 88.13% of all schools included informatics courses in their curriculum, significant regional disparities were observed, ranging from 100% in Jeju to 61.84% in Gangwon. Only 20.07% of schools operated informatics as a school-designated course, indicating that most students lack guaranteed access to informatics education.
Moreover, very few schools maintained a systematically sequenced pathway across informatics courses. These findings suggest that ensuring informatics as a mandatory subject, addressing regional disparities, supporting curriculum organization that considers inter-course sequencing, expanding teacher supply, and shifting social perceptions are necessary to achieve equitable informatics education in the era of digital transformation.
