Abstract

One of the characteristics of the informatics subject implementing the revised national curriculum is to develop the practical attitude of the student as an active member of information society. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the units 'Information Society and IT' in middle school informatics textbooks reflect inquisitive tendencies to student's practice. After four textbooks that were widely selected by schools were selected from among the authorized textbooks, the sentences of the selected textbooks were analyzed by utilizing Romey's analysis method to see whether there was such an inquisitive tendency in them. As a result of analyzing six content elements of the textbooks, one textbook and two textbooks had an inquisitive tendency in three elements or more in terms of texts and activities index respectively. But there was no inquisitive tendency in the textbooks in terms of figure/diagrams, questions at the end of chapters and chapter synthesis. This study is meaningful in that it attempted to make a quantitative analysis of middle school informatics textbooks and to investigate an inquisitive tendency in the textbooks by analyzing every statement and sentence instead of analyzing just some parts of the textbooks.

개정 교육과정에 의한 '정보' 교과의 성격 중 하나는 정보사회의 일원으로서 실천적 태도를 고취시킨다는 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 중학교 '정보'교과의 '정보사회와 정보기술' 영역에 대한 구성이 학습자들의 참여를 독려하고, 실천에 기여할 수 있을 정도로 탐구적인 경향을 나타내는 지를 알아보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 교과서의 탐구적 경향 분석을 위해 Romey 분석법을 활용하여, 검정 교과서 중 채택율이 높은 4종의 교과서를 분석하였다. 6개의 내용 요소에 대한 분석결과 3개 이상의 요소에서 탐구적 경향을 보인 교과서는, 본문지수 에서는 1개, 활동지수에서는 2개 교과서로 나타났다. 그러나 표나 그림 지수, 평가 지수, 장 끝 지수에서는 탐구적 경향을 보인 교과서가 없었다. 본 연구는 중학교 정보 교과서에 대한 의미 분석을 토대로 탐구적 경향에 대한 정량화를 시도하였고, 특정 페이지에 한정하지 않고 해당 영역 전체를 분석했다는 데 의의가 있다.
