Abstract
This study analyzed reference data for the physics section in science guidebooks for the third-sixth grade in elementary schools, according to the 2015 revised curriculum. It analyzed the reference data by categorizing them in terms of subjects, objectives and presentation forms and the visual data used in the reference data by categorizing their types. The findings show that the ratio of the science knowledge type was highest (53.8%) among the subjects of reference data in guidebooks for the science section, followed by the application to real life, and then, supplementary inquiry experiments and activities. The ratios of other types such as advanced science, environment, scientists and science history were, however, less than 1%, so they need to be improved. The ratio of knowledge provision was highest (40.5%) among the objectives of reference data but the ratios of conceptual supplementation and deepening were similar in ratio. Meanwhile, While the expository type (88.4%) accounted for most of the present forms of reference data, and photographs and illustrations (93.6%) also accounted for most of visual data suggested with reference data. Thus more various types of presentation forms and the extension of visual data seemed to be needed. This study is expected to provide some suggestions for the meaningful use of reference data in guidebooks for teachers and for the development of science guidebooks for teachers in elementary schools.
