Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the science history materials presented in middle school 'Science' textbook according to the 2015 revised curriculum. The subjects of this study were 14 middle school 'Science' textbooks. The analysis used the three-dimensional framework. The results of analysis show that the number of science history materials presented in textbooks tends to increase as the grade goes up. It was also found that science history materials were presented in a specific unit for each grade. The three-dimensional analysis of science history materials showed that conceptual-fundamental-discovery/device types were most commonly presented in all grades. At the instruction context level, the conceptual context was the most common, and the basic role was the main at the role level. The discovery/device type was the most common type of presentation. The results of the study show that the science history materials presented in science textbooks were concentrated in some areas. Also, the instruction context and role were concentrated in some factors in terms. This suggests that various science history materials need to be developed in the future. It is also necessary to explore concrete methods to ensure that science history materials presented in textbooks can be used in various roles in different contexts.
