Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the issues of digital textbook policy in Korea, using the four dimensional model of Cooper, Fusarelli, & Randall(2004). Building upon systematic review of the policy documents, journals, and articles, I found some issues and implications for the betterment of the policy: From normative dimension, it is important to overcome widespread view of textbook based on positivist epistemology. From structural dimension, we need to move to curriculum-based textbook system and stabilize the organization in authority within the Ministry of Education. From constituentive dimension, much more consideration and support within the authority are to be provided to teachers and students. Lastly, it is critical to develop and disseminate an effective instructional model and build capacity of teachers' ICT from technical dimension. Building upon the results, clarification of policy objectives, establishment of priorities for school grades and subjects in the mid- to long-term perspective, and the establishment of communicative venue for the gathering of opinions of teachers and students who are key participants and activation of operations.

이 연구는 Cooper, Fusarelli, & Randall(2004)의 4차원적 모형을 활용하여 2018년 본격 시행을 앞둔 디지털교과서 정책을 둘러싼 핵심 쟁점을 분석하고 개선을 위한 시사점을 제시하였다. 주로 그동안 축적된 정책문서와 학술논문, 신문기사 등을 활용하여 규범적, 구조적, 구성적, 기술적 차원별로 주요 이슈를 도출 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 디지털교과서 정책의 안정적 추진을 위해서는 규범적 차원에서 실증주의적 인식론에 입각한 교과서관 극복이, 구조적 차원에서는 교육과정기반형 교과서체계로의 전환과 교육부 내 정책추진 조직의 안정화가, 구성적 차원에서는 핵심정책 실행자들 간의 협력과 충분한 역량 발휘를 위한 관심과 지원이, 마지막으로 기술적 차원에서는 디지털교과서을 활용한 수업모형의 개발 및 확산과 교사들의 ICT 역량의 강화가 요청된다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 정책목표의 명확화, 중장기적 관점에서 학교급별 과목별 우선순위의 설정, 핵심참여자인 교사와 학생의 의견수렴을 위한 장의 마련 등을 향후 연구 및 실천과제로 제시하였다. 무엇보다 교사의 전문성을 바탕으로 학생들의 실질적인 학습성과가 지속적으로 도출될 수 있도록 교육과정체계의 혁신과 현장교사의 디지털 리터러시의 향상을 위한 노력이 중요하다.
