Colleges and universities across the country are currently examining the goals and commitments they have made to undergraduate education in general and to the freshman and sophomore years in particular. One of the most important aspects of undergraduate education is a university's general education program. In the spirit of review, UCLA's Academic Counseling Service recently studied that university's general education program. This article reflects the results of that study and demonstrates the ways in which any general education curriculum can be modified so that students can acquire requisite academic skills, not just academic content, that will help them beyond their college years. The authors acknowledge, however, that many of the ideas presented here derive from the work of others, but their synthesis should provide a useful new protocol for curricular review.

Integrated teaching competence is one of the most important competencies teachers capacity adapting to the requirements of reforming the general education curriculum. Researching and application of an integrated teaching perspective has been interested by many educators and teachers to research and apply in teaching practice. However, the reality of the teaching practice of teachers in general and teachers of chemistry in high schools is needed to concern.

Expanded Core Curriculum

The Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) is a set of concepts and skills that are taught to students with visual impairments to support their learning that often occurs incidentally with vision. Students with visual impairments must learn both the ECC and content from the general education curriculum, including science. Thus, it is crucial to incorporate these two sets of curricula so that students with visual impairments can learn both sets of curricula more efficiently. This article presents an analysis of science curricula and lesson plans that support the Next Generation Science Standards while promoting teaching skills to students with visual impairments in the ECC. The results show that the ECC can be incorporated into science easily which will allow the ECC and science to be taught in one lesson.

General Education Curriculum

This study was conducted to develop evaluation criteria to manage and improve the quality of the university's General Education curriculum. To this end, the evaluation area and evaluation criteria for the management of the quality of education were first derived through literature research. The evaluation tool obtained feasibility of feasibility verification and research results through two revised Delphi surveys (N=10). as well as through meetings with practitioners(N=7) in charge of quality management of the liberal curriculum. The results are as follows. First, this study developed a systematic evaluation criteria for the entire curriculum, such as curriculum development, support, operation, performance and improvement, rather than fragmenting the curriculum based on the CIPP evaluation model. Second, this study applied modified Delphi techniques to manage the quality of the General Education curriculum to derive a total of seven sub-items and 17 evaluation criteria. Also, the content feasibility (CVI) and inter-evaluator agreement(IRA) results developed evaluation criteria with a validity score above 0.80. Based on these findings, the university presented measures and implications for managing the quality of the liberal arts curriculum.
