Busan Office of Education to Precisely Target Basic Korean and Math Skills

‘Minimum Achievement Standards Learning Boost’ 8 Types Distributed

“Utilizing Customized Learning Materials for Grades 7 to 10”

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 25th that it has developed eight types of the "Minimum Achievement Standard Learning Boost Materials" and distributed them to frontline middle and high schools to support the minimum academic skills essential for students to continue their studies.

Since March last year, the Office of Education formed a dedicated development team for nine months to create supplementary learning materials and assessment questions for Korean language and mathematics subjects targeting first-year middle school students through first-year high school students. The materials were organized by setting minimum achievement standards for each unit based on the curriculum achievement standards and evaluation criteria.

These materials present the minimum content and scope that students must know according to the educational goals of each subject, and can be used as resources for customized individual guidance for students requiring basic learning and subject learning support. They can also be used for students who do not meet the class achievement standards.

Eight types of 'Minimum Achievement Standard Learning Boost Materials' distributed by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education.

The middle school learning materials were created in three types for each subject, Korean and mathematics. The Korean learning materials were produced by area, such as literature, reading, and grammar, while the mathematics materials were created by middle school grade, presenting minimum achievement standards and basic concepts, allowing students to verify these through examples and exercises.

The high school learning materials consist of one type each for Korean and mathematics, organized into sections such as "Core Point! Point!", "Core Reinforcement", "Stepping Stone Solutions", and "Self-Check". "Core Point! Point!" confirms the essential content for each minimum achievement standard, and "Core Reinforcement" presents questions aimed at solidifying the foundation of learning through questions that reach the minimum achievement standards.

The mathematics learning materials include "Sharing Thoughts" problems to motivate and engage students, and "Jump Up!" problems designed to help students take a step forward from basic problems, aiming to improve their skills.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, "With these materials, we will realize responsible education so that not a single student is excluded from securing basic academic skills," and added, "We will distribute various learning tools and materials to support students' academic growth centered on the Busan Academic Development Institute."
