The purpose of this study is to inform the research results that form the basis of the development of the 2022 revised curriculum, what issues emerged in the relationship with other fields in this research process, and how those issues were resolved and emerged as major outcomes will take a look. In addition, it is to introduce and share the shortcomings and future tasks to the geography education community. The three goals that the researchers explicitly asserted and tried to achieve during the research process are as follows. First, in the high school general elective subjects, a balance was created with four subjects, 1 each for each area. In the end, the researchers achieved what they claimed. Second, it was to achieve balanced development in career and convergence elective subjects other than general elective subjects and to develop competitive subjects in the school field. It will be known whether this goal can be achieved through substantial subject curriculum development and future application results. Third, the middle school social studies was divided into geography and general social studies, and textbooks were divided, and the name of the subject was found in the curriculum organization table. The request for separation of subjects and improvement of the curriculum table was not accepted, and the division of textbooks became a content that had to be claimed before the announcement of the 2022 revised curriculum. An important income from this study, other than the explicit claims, is that the geographical community has created a basis for communication and cooperation with regard to curriculum issues. Based on this foundation, geography will be firmly established in school education, academia, and real life in the future.
