A Study on the Process of Writing a Middle School Technology Curriculum Unit Plan Grafting IB MYP Design

Objectives This study aims to explore the process of writing a unit plan for a middle school technology class that grafts the MYP design subject by applying the 2022 revised middle school technology curriculum according to the IB MYP unit plan form and writing steps. Methods This study explored the principles and guidelines for writing MYP design unit plans, focusing on related documents such as the IB MYP secondary education program principles and practice and the IB MYP design curriculum guide provided on the IBO official website. In addition, by analyzing literature and prior research related to the revised 2022 middle school technology curriculum, the process of writing unit plans for middle school technology classes grafting IB MYP design subjects was examined, and a unit plan for middle school technology classes ingrafting IB MYP design subjects was written based on this. Results The unit plan for a middle school technology class that grafts IB MYP design subjects was written with the following results. Firstly, the unit plan format and writing steps of the IB MYP design curriculum were explored. Secondly, the IB MYP unit plan was applied to the invention unit of the 2022 revised middle school technology curriculum. Thirdly, a specific lesson plan for the invention unit was created. Conclusions Firstly, the IB MYP design curriculum guide was organized around four goals: exploring and analyzing, developing ideas, creating solutions, and evaluating. Secondly, the 2022 revised middle school technology curriculum was organized around technical problem solving and innovation, sustainable technology, and convergence. Thirdly, the possibility of grafting the IB MYP design curriculum with the 2022 revised middle school technology curriculum was confirmed. Fourthly, the process of writing a middle school technology class unit plan that grafted the IB MYP design curriculum was confirmed.
