This study is to examine whether elementary science textbooks in Korea and Singapore are applicable to flipped learning. By comparative study we sought to identifying appropriate features of science textbooks for learner-centered teaching. We analyzed text pages on the unit of 'Working of electricity' in Korean elementary science textbook for sixth grade and three chapters of 'Electric circuits, Using electricity, Conductors of electricity' in Singaporean elementary textbook, 'Science : My pals are here!'. We designed evaluating frameworks for science textbooks based on the four pillars of flipped learning. and applied it to 10 elementary teachers evaluate two textbooks. They evaluated textbooks with Likert Scale items and wrote detailed statements and exemplars about their choices. We analyzed the teachers' evaluative descriptions inductively and chose commonly mentioned characteristics. Based on the analysis, we got to the conclusion about specific features of two elementary science textbooks in terms of flexible environment, learning culture, intentional contents, and teachers' expertises. Implications for improving science textbooks towards flipped learning and learner-centered teaching through comparative study were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to find research areas that were less represented by the researchers of mathematics textbooks and to provide feedback for the research and development of mathematics curriculum and textbooks. In order to complete this study, we analyzed comparative studies of mathematics textbooks published in Korean. This study analyzed 107 comparative studies published until recently based on following aspects: countries studied (North Korea, U.S.A., and Japan), Math curriculum studied (6th and 7th mathematics curriculum), and Math contents studied (probability and statistics) and etc. The result of this study suggests that the content area of creative problem solving was particularly less represented by the studies published and require more concern from the mathematics education researchers

This study was to compare 'experiment' presentation types of middle school science textbooks of Korea, Japan, and China and to draw some implication for the improvement of Korean science textbooks. It analyzed the experiments from the unit 'Light' of science textbooks which is common content in all three different science textbooks. The researchers analyzed the experiments with two questions. First, how is the experiment organized? Second, what role does each element of the experiment is playing in the experiment setting? The findings of international comparative analysis of experiment presentation types of middle school science textbooks of three countries were as follows. First, the Korean and Chinese textbooks tended to present the experiments without enough information for the experimental process and method, whereas the Japanese textbook tended to present the experiment with detailed information for the experimental method and process. Second, whereas the Korean and Chinese textbooks tended to have a loosened relationship among pre-experimental content, experiment, after-experiment content, the Japanese textbook tended to have an organic relationship among pre-experimental content, experiment, after-experiment content.

본 연구의 목적은 2009 개정 수학 교육과정에 따른 교과서 작업에 즈음하여 중국 교과서와 우리나라 교과서를 비교 분석함으로써 현재 교과서의 개선점을 지적하고 새 교과서 작업에 시사점을 주고자 한다. 분석 대상은 중국 인민교육출판사의 초등수학 교과서와 2007 개정 교육과정에 따른 우리나라 교과서이다. 분석 영역은 수와 덧셈, 뺄셈으로 제한했다. 본 연구의 결과는 한국 교과서가 상대적으로 많은 언어적 표현의 사용, 할 일이 정해진 활동, 수학적 개념의 확장에서 유사한 절차 사용, 수와 연산 영역에서 더 큰 수의 사용, 다양하지 못한 수 감각 활동으로 나타났다. 이에 우리나라 교과서가 수학적 흥미와 도전감, 기초기본 개념 형성에서 상대적으로 취약하다는 것을 말해준다.

The focus of this study was on the comparative analysis in the area of illustrations between the primary school from third grade to the sixth grade between Korean and American science textbooks in order to offer some suggestions for consideration of the Korean science textbooks, which will be revised in 2009. The results are as follows: The number of illustrations per page in Korean science textbooks are more than that of American science textbooks. As the type of illustrations, the ratio of photos is the highest and as the role of illustrations, data provision has the highest percentage in both countries. The motivation role in Korean science textbooks seem to be higher than American science textbook, whereas study summary role is more prominent in American textbooks than in Korean textbooks.

The aims of this study are to analyze and compare the elementary textbook contents of science in Korea, USA and England and to make suggestions for the improvement of integrative contents in Korean science textbooks. For this study, lessons on living things in the three grade science textbooks of three different countries were selected and analyzed according to the five criteria: component elements of the lesson, integration of knowledges and investigations, integration of subject and life, connection with other subjects and focus of integration. From this comparative study, five suggestions are inferred for the improvement of the Korean elementary science textbooks. First, it is recommended that Korean textbooks should present unit objectives and evaluative components in the introductive part and last part of each lesson. Second, Korean textbooks should include scientific knowledges as a way of presenting educational contents. Third, Korean textbooks are recommended to include integrated contents fitting for students' life context. Fourth, Korean textbooks are recommended to integrate contents in connection with mathematics, arts, literature and so on. Fifth, issues which can facilitate students to understand contents in the textbooks and to relate to their life should be more employed.

The purpose of ths study is to compare and analyze the sequence of teaching multiplication facts in the elementary school mathematics. Generally, the multiplication in the elementary school mathematics is composed of the followings; concepts of multiplication, situations involving multiplication, didactical models for multiplication, and multiplication strategies for teaching multiplication facts. This study is focusing to multiplication facts, especially to the sequence of teaching and multiplication strategies. The method of this study is a comparative and analytic method. In order to compare textbooks, we select the Korean elementary mathematics textbooks(1st curriculum~2009 revised curriculum) and the 9 foreign elementary mathematics textbooks(Japan, China, Germany, Finland, Hongkong etc.). As results of comparative investigation, the sequence of teaching multiplication facts is reconsidered on a basis of elementary students' mathematical thinking. And the connectivity of multiplication facts is strengthened in comparison with the foreign elementary mathematics textbooks. Finally multiplication strategies for teaching multiplication facts are discussed for more understanding and reasoning the principles of multiplication facts in the elementary school mathematics.

Astronomy areas in the elementary science textbooks of Korea and the U.S.A. have been compared to find advantages and disadvantages of Korean textbooks. The analysis objects are the 7th national curriculum science textbooks for Korea and the Macmillan McGraw-Hill(MMH) science textbooks for the U.S.A. The results are as follows: First, in contexts, Korean science textbooks contain mostly inquiry activities and partly reading materials. However, MMH ones contain mostly explanations including photographs, related activities, and various reading materials. Second, in the contents and order, the observation activities of constellations are emphasized in Korean science textbooks, while the MMH ones explain solar system up to the universe in details. In addition, Korean science textbooks deal with one subject only once during the whole elementary course while MMH ones deal with one subject repeatedly in several grades. Third, in the frameworks of the international mathematics and science study (TIMSS) 2007, Korean science textbooks do not introduce some contents presented in TIMSS 2007, whereas MMH textbooks introduce every one of them in time. Fourth, the major subjects such as change of moon phases, constellations, the solar system, and change of seasons are handled independently in Korean science textbooks without strong correlation, while they are systematically done related with the rotation and the revolution of the earth in MMH ones.

This study analyzed and compared the number of students activities, contents scope, and organizing system of the three textbooks(A, B, and C) which had been developed and published for the 'Environment'subject in the 7th National Curriculum. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; There were differences in the size, the total number of pages and the quality of print between two groups of 'Environment'textbooks of the 6th and the 7th national curriculum. New textbooks were found bigger than the previous ones by 125%. The total number of pages increased by the average of 16.4%. A and C textbooks were composed of three parts, seven chapters, and 17 sections, whereas B textbook consisted of ten chapters and 23 sections. All of the three textbooks appeared to put an emphasis on the chapters of 'environment protection'and 'environmental problems of the Earth ' A comparative analysis on the number of data included in the three textbooks showed that almost half of data took a form of picture, averaging 48% of the total. A had 297 pictures, and 234 pictures for B, 194 pictures for C, respectively. In terms of the number of students'activities, C was found to include the largest number of activities that is 91, comparing to text A of 85, text B of 78. The number of students'activities in every content is found'environment awaiting protection', tile 'environmental problems of the earth'and'things to be done for the protection of environment'much more than any other parts. It should be noted that this study focused ell only a set of quantitative measures so that teachers are recommended to consider detailed contents that each textbook contains as well as environmental conditions of the school region.
