Abstract

The purpose of this study is to comparatively analyze the internal and external frameworks of elementary science textbooks, which first appeared as the authorization system of elementary science textbooks changed from the national government system. In order to confirm the purpose of the authorization system to support the development of diverse and creative textbooks, this study compared 7 authorized textbooks with the national textbook developed as the 'Use of Magnets' unit of the 2015 revised science curriculum. In this study, the textbook's framework was largely divided into an external framework and an internal framework for the 'Use of Magnets' unit of elementary science textbooks, and quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted in parallel according to each subcategory. According to the research results, in the external framework of textbook units, all textbooks had the same structure: unit introduction, scientific inquiry, creative convergence, unit arrangement, and scientific reading materials. The framework in the 'Use of Magnets' unit of the 7 types of authorized textbooks was found to have some differences according to the textbook development team's interpretation of the curriculum achievement standards and many commonalities that maintained the framework in the national textbooks. In addition, the characteristics of each textbook were clearly revealed in some areas not specified in curriculum such as unit introduction activities and science reading materials, a meaningful change was also found in that the level of inquiry activity was classified and operated in response to the uniform inquiry activity operation of the existing government textbooks.

이 연구는 초등과학 교과용도서의 발행체제가 국정제에서 검정제로 변환됨에 따라 최초 출현한 초등과학 검정교과서의 내외적 체제를 비교 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 다양하고 창의적인 교과서 개발과 교육과정의 다양성을 지원하기 위한 검정제의 취지를 2015개정 과학과 교육과정의 '자석의 이용' 단원을 바탕으로 개발된 7종의 검정교과서와 이전 국정교과서의 체제를 비교하여 확인하고자 하였다. 이 연구에서는 초등과학 교과서 자석 관련 단원을 대상으로 교과서의 체제를 크게 외적 체제와 내적 체제로 구분하고 세부 분류 항목에 따라 양적 분석과 질적 분석을 병행하여 실시하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 교과서 단원의 외적 체제에서는 모든 교과서가 단원 도입, 과학 탐구, 창의 융합, 단원 정리, 과학 읽기자료로 구분되는 동일한 구조를 가지고 있었다. 7종의 검정교과서의 '자석의 이용' 단원 체제의 경우에는 교과서 개발진의 교육과정에 대한 해석에 따른 일부의 차이점과 국정교과서에서의 체제를 그대로 유지한 다수의 공통점이 발견되었다. 또한 단원 도입 활동과 과학 읽기 자료와 같은 교육과정 문서에 명시되지 않은 영역에서 각 교과서별 특성이 분명하게 드러났으며, 기존의 국정교과서에서의 탐구활동의 획일적 운영에 대응하여 탐구활동의 수준을 구분하여 제시한 의미 있는 변화도 발견되었다.
