This study is done to compare and to analyze middle school Informatics textbooks developed according to 2007 revised national curriculum. In this paper, suggestions are made for improvement on Informatics textbooks. Textbooks were analyzed based on two criteria, in framework and content, and collected data were analyzed according to Content Analysis method. As a result of analysis, a framework of textbooks showed differences in the entire construction, discipline-specific weight, content developing structure, and types of assessment, and content of textbooks showed differences in the concepts and the kinds of programming language. Six improvements in developing Informatics textbook from the results of content analysis were suggested and this will be helpful in developing the Infomatics textbook in the future.

2019학년도 초등학교 5-6학년군에 2015 개정 교육과정이 전면 적용된다. 본 논문에서는 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 실과 검정 교과서 6종 소프트웨어 교육 단원의 외적 체제를 비교 분석하였다. 단원 체제 분석 결과 모든 교과서에 공통적으로 대단원명, 대단원 차례, 중단원명, 본문텍스트, 본문삽화, 용어 설명, 단원 마무리 등이 제시되어 있었다. 단원 구성 분석 결과 소프트웨어 교육 단원은 전체 교과서 분량의 18.8~25%까지 교과서별로 다양한 비율을 차지하고 있었다. 후속 연구로는 본 논문에서 다룬 교과서의 외적 체제 뿐 아니라 내적 체제 까지를 포함하여 각 교과서의 소프트웨어 교육 단원을 전체적인 틀에서 비교 분석 할 것이다.

This study is aimed at finding some drawbacks of current elementary mathematics textbooks and to give suggestions for ongoing new textbooks according to 2009 revised curriculums, by comparing and analyzing Korean textbooks and chinese textbooks of People's Education Press. The areas are confined to number concepts, addition and subtraction for comparative analyzing. The results are followings: Korea textbooks have more verbal expressions, designated instructive activities for students to do, similar algorithm applied for enlarging mathematical concepts, bigger number concepts and number usage of operations, and monotonous number sense activities. Therefore Korean textbooks, compared to China's, is more weaker in areas such as encouraging student's interest, in challenging mathematics, and in forming fundamental mathematical concept.

기존의 교과서 평가를 위한 준거에는 Shmidt의 일반적인 교과서 평가 준거, Dover의 교과서 선택 준거, Huetteman의 교과서 평가 준거, Romey의 탐구성에 대한 교과서 분석법 등이 있다. 아울러 2007년 공시된 2007년 개정 교육과정의 정보 교과목은 2010년부터 중학교 1학년에 적용된 뒤, 중등학고 전체로 확대 시행될 예정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 교과서 평가 준거를 분석하여 새로운 정보 교과서의 비교분석을 위한 선택준거를 제안한다. 또한 제시된 선택준거와의 비교를 위해 정보 교과서 2종을 Hutteman과 Romey의 분석법을 적용해 평가하였다.

Textbooks are the basic materials for school education and the best instruments that the teachers can use. The textbooks for information and communication technology education that are authorized by the superintendent of schools are currently used in the elementary schools and the various kinds of the ICT textbooks are adopted in accordance with the cities and provinces. In this study, we make a comparative study of the 11 ICT textbooks for year 4 students from the view points of the present conditions, the organizations, and the contents. Also, using Romey's method we investigate them whether their contents are suitable for the inquiring activities. We expect that our study will be the basis of the development of the next authorized ICT textbooks and contribute to the ICT education.

Measurement in elementary school mathematics is one of the mathematical concepts that is directly used in real life. This study is based on the fact that mathematics textbooks for 3-4 and 5-6 graders were developed as the government designed and authorized textbooks and the general measurement instruction process is condensed and presented considering the limitation of the textbook's space for the capacity and weight. Its contents were analyzed. The results are as follows. The contents of authorized textbooks and government designed textbook are different in detail but similar overall in comparative activities, recognition, and situation of the need for the introduction of standard unit and estimation activities. Through this, it is proposed that efforts are needed to reform national textbook policies and develop textbooks that can highlight the meaning of each measurement activity and focus on students' activities.

According to the 2007 national curriculum amendment, new 'informatics' textbooks have been used since 2010 as a textbook for middle school first graders and will eventually be used in other grades. However, only a few studies that have evaluated the 'informatics' textbooks, have been performed. What is worse is the fact that none of the evaluating tools even exist. Therefore, we propose the criteria of selecting 'informatics' textbooks in middle school. Its contents can be summarized as follows: First, this paper classifies previous studies on textbook evaluation into general criteria of selecting textbooks, method of textbook analysis based on how inquisitively students can learn and previous studies which analyzed existing secondary school 'informatics' textbooks and propose the criteria of selecting 'informatics' textbooks in middle school. Second, using the proposed selection criteria for 'informatics' textbooks and other evaluation criteria, five kinds of informatics textbooks were analyzed. Furthermore, it is expected that we can use the selection criteria as a material to choose the new 'Information science' textbooks, and to suggest alternative directions of future studies in the area of evaluating 'Information science' textbooks.

Since mathematics textbooks for 6th graders based on the 2009 revised national curriculum were applied to the site, there has been a note pointing out that the unit of 'ratio and rate' causes some learning difficulties. This implies the necessity of search for desirable methods of organizing the unit of ratio and rate in mathematics textbooks. This study analyzed and compared Korean and foreign mathematics textbooks on ratio and rate longitudinally and horizontally, respectively. For longitudinal analysis, we selected the mathematics textbooks according to the national curriculum since the 5th one. For horizontal analysis, we took the mathematics textbooks of Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Finland. In each textbook, the contents and the order in relation to ratio and rate, the definitions of terminology, and the methods for introducing related concepts are set as the analysis framework. The results of analysis revealed many characteristics and the differences in ways of dealing contents about ratio and rate. Based on these results, we suggested some implications for writing the unit of ratio and rate in elementary mathematics textbooks.

The korean mathematics textbooks according to the 2007 revised mathematics curriculum and the MiC textbooks are similar in that they introduce mathematical materials in real life situations and are composed in such a way that require students to form their own mathematical concepts. However the MiC textbooks are focus more on situation-centered problems and context-centered problems where a set of procedures need to be followed in order to arrive at an answer. So, this paper is aim at comparing the units of statistics in the korean mathematics textbooks and the MiC textbooks in order to find the implications for writing textbook. By comparing the specific content and the used methods, I found Korean textbooks focused on understanding concepts and spending less time surveying and collecting data. On the other hand, MiC textbooks used activities that real mathematicians would be involved with, such as surveying and analyzing data to compose mathematical concepts.

In order to establish the correct direction for the use of digital textbooks in the future, it is necessary to derive implications for improving the domestic digital textbook utilization policy by analyzing the actual conditions of other countries that are already using digital textbooks. Therefore, in this paper, we compared the policies of using digital textbooks in the United States, Canada, Malaysia, and China, and reviewed ways to improve Korea's digital textbook policies. First, each country's digital textbook promotion subject and strategy, scope of use, issuance system, and usage method were compared, and then the implications of each country's digital textbook policy were analyzed. And based on these implications, a plan to improve Korea's digital textbook policy was suggested. It is expected that this will be used as meaningful basic data in preparing policies for the development of digital textbooks in the future.
