초.중등학교 교과서에 나타난 토양 동물에 관한 내용 연구

At present, 51 textbooks from 6 kinds are adopted at primary and secondary schools in Korea. According to results of content analysis related to soil animals, their bionomics and the ecological roles were mentioned limitedly in only one or two pages. Since mere 7 phyla and 24 kinds of soil animals have been appeared, it is demended that more of subjects concerning soil animals especially in relation to environment should be introduced in school textbooks near in the future.
