Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the safety contents presented in high school science textbooks of the 2015 revised national science curriculum. For these, we found safety contents in the inquiries and appendices of 63 science textbooks: integrated science, science inquiry experiment, physics I, II, chemistry I, II, biology I, II, and earth science I, II. We analyzed these safety contents using six safety factors based on the seven standards for safety education. The main results are as follows: First, 81(46.0%) inquiries among 176 curriculum inquiries contain safety contents, and these contents are mainly found in chemistry textbooks, and the least in 'science inquiry experiment' textbooks. Second, safety contents are found the most in 'laboratory safety rule', followed by 'safety symbol' and 'usage of protection equipment'. Third, the safety contents of appendices are mainly in 'laboratory safety rule' and 'accident treatment'. Based on these results of this study, it is concluded that these textbooks have problems; that there is a big difference in describing safety contents in each textbook; that these safety contents are not presented in detail and that the educational effect is reduced. Furthermore, the safety symbol is not standardized. We also discussed ways to improve the safety contents of science textbooks.

본 연구의 목적은 2015 개정 과학과 교육과정에 의해 개발된 고등학교 과학에 해당되는 10개 과목의 교과서에 제시된 안전 관련 내용을 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 통합과학, 과학탐구실험과 물리학 I, II, 화학 I, II, 생명과학 I, II, 지구과학 I, II의 63종 교과서의 탐구 활동 중에서 교육과정에 제시된 탐구 활동과 부록에서 안전과 관련된 내용을 추출하여, 이를 안전교육 7대 표준안을 근거로 한 6개의 안전요소로 분석하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교육과정 탐구 활동 176개 중 안전 관련 내용이 최소한 1개 이상의 교과서에서 제시된 탐구 활동은 81개(46.0%)였고, 화학 교과서에서 많이 제시되었고, 과학탐구실험에 적게 제시되었다. 둘째, 안전내용은 '실험실 안전수칙'에 대한 내용이 가장 많았으며, 그 다음으로 안전기호, 보호장구 사용 등의 순이었다. 셋째, 부록에 제시된 안전내용은 주로 실험실 안전수칙과 사고대처요령을 중심으로 기술되어 있었다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로, 교과서 별로 안전 관련 내용의 기술에 차이가 큰 문제점, 안전 관련 내용이 구체적이지 않아 교육 효과가 떨어진다는 문제점, 안전 기호의 표준화가 되어 있지 않다는 문제점을 제시하였고, 이를 바탕으로 교과서 안전 관련 내용의 개선 방안을 논의하였다.
