This study is a follow-up study of the 2017 research which analyzed content elements of global citizenship education in elementary school Social Studies. Based on the global citizenship education index, the content elements of are analyzed in the 2009 and 2015 revised middle school Social Studies curriculum, and then it was compared to the results of previous research in elementary school. As a result, it can be found that the content elements of global citizenship education in the middle school Social Studies are not increased or strengthened. In terms of 'strong connection', there was almost no change in the proportion of the cognitive domain and the socio-emotional domain, but rather it decreased in the behavioral domain. Compared with the results of elementary school, it is appeared that elementary school showed a larger increase than the middle school in the proportion of content elements depending on the change of curriculum. Through this, it can be confirmed that the global citizenship education was strengthened in elementary school in the 2015 revised Social Studies curriculum. At the time of next curriculum revision, it will be necessary to consider adding and revising the content elements related to global citizenship education to meet the needs of international community.
