Abstract

In this paper, both content analysis and Romey analysis were employed to analyze three 'General Computer' textbooks used in commerce and information high schools. The content analysis was employed to study the organization and contents of the textbooks, whereas the Romey analysis to determine the inquisitive tendency of four sections - Text, Data, Activity and Evaluation. The results from the content analysis showed that textbooks differed in the number of subsections, the number of pages in each section, and the number of concepts introduced in each section. Also, results from the Romey analysis demonstrated that the section Text in all the textbooks was written with a low level of inquisitive tendency, but also that they differed in that two other sections Data and Activity in one textbook exhibited a high level of inquisitive tendency while the other section Evaluation in two textbooks did. Using the aforementioned results, we proposed ways to improve the readability of 'General Computer' textbooks.

본 논문에서는 내용 분석법(content analysis)과 Romey의 분석법을 적용하여 상업 정보계 고등학교 '컴퓨터 일반' 교과서를 분석하였다. 내용 분석법으로 교과서의 구성 체계와 내용을 분석하였으며, Romey의 분석법으로 4개의 분석요소인 본문, 자료, 활동, 평가에 대한 탐구적 경향을 판별하였다. 내용 분석법을 적용한 결과, 교과서를 구성하는 중영역의 수, 영역별 페이지 수, 영역별 개념의 수에서 교과서별로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. Romey의 분석법을 적용한 결과, 교과서 본문은 탐구적 경향이 낮은 형태로 기술되었으며, 학습 자료와 활동은 각각 1권, 평가는 2권의 교과서가 탐구적 경향이 높게 구성된 것으로 확인되었다. 본 논문에서는 분석 결과를 바탕으로 '컴퓨터 일반' 교과서의 개선 방안을 제안하였다.
