Abstract

This study aims to find out the meaning of characters used in science textbooks by analyzing the roles of the characters on the 2009 revised science textbooks and the extracted sentences and see if there are indications referable to compiling future science textbooks by finding out where the characters are efficiently used and where supplement is needed. Target textbooks among those developed for the 2009 revised elementary school science textbooks are the first and second semester of the 4th-grade. Methods used include analysis on the roles of character-containing questions using character role analysis whose illustration analysis frame is more supplemented/adjusted than those used in the foregoing studies, analysis on character-containing questions using the existing analysis frame, analysis/survey on good cases and cases needing supplement through consultation with a science education expert, two teachers, etc. The result shows that among types of character roles, motivation and material provision are more used than experiment guide, experiment, and observation results. Result of analyzing in-textbook characters by field shows that life sphere is more used than free exploration, energy, material, and earth. Result of analyzing question types shows the order of expanding, anticipatory, transferable and personal questions and there were no reminiscent and evaluative questions. Based on the result of this study, indications on how to use in-science textbook characters more efficiently and developmentally are needed.

본 연구에서는 2009개정 과학 교과서에 새롭게 추가된 캐릭터의 역할 범주화, 역할 및 발문 분석을 통해 과학 교과서에 사용된 캐릭터의 기초 정보를 제공하고 추후 교과서 제작에 참고할 수 있는 시사점을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 2009개정 초등학교 과학과 교육과정에 따라 개발된 과학 교과서 중 4학년 교과서이다. 분석방법은 분석 대상 선정 및 분석틀 개발, 캐릭터 역할 분석, 발문 분석이다. 연구 결과, 캐릭터의 역할 유형은 자료제공, 동기유발, 탐구 활동 안내, 탐구결과 순으로 활용되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 과학 교과서 속 캐릭터를 영역별로 분석한 결과 생명 영역이 자유탐구, 에너지, 물질, 지구 영역보다 많이 활용되는 것으로 나타났다. 발문 유형 분석 결과는 확산적, 예상적, 적용적, 재인적 발문 순으로 나타났고 회상적, 평가적 발문은 없었다. 본 연구 결과는 그림과 텍스트의 결합 형태로 제시되는 캐릭터의 역할을 범주화하고 그 역할을 규명하여 실제 교과서 속에 활용된 캐릭터를 분석하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 이는 앞으로 초등 과학 교과서를 구성하는 과정에서 보다 체계적이고 유기적인 캐릭터 활용에 시사점을 줄 것이라 판단된다.
