ABSTRACT
Since the nineteenth century, many historians have focused on the absolute cause of historical phenomenon within a single scale of time and space according to the specialization of academic fields. Historical studies of some nations in Western Europe and Asia have offered a base to develop modern nations by emphasizing national identity or the importance of a unified nation to define people as the single community. The first example of big history education in Korea, which expands its scale of analysis from the Big Bang to the present and the future and tries to discover inter-relationships between the natural sciences and humanities, began at Ewha Woman University in 2009. The first big history education as an extra-curriculum middle school course began in 2011. The course was composed of five classes which were assisted by the Institute of World and Global History at Ewha Womans University and the Korean Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity.
