In this paper, we examined informatics textbooks for middle school students in accordance with 2009 revised curriculum through conducting both content analysis and surveys. The content analysis was analyzed the composition and contents of textbooks. Survey questionnaires were based on the authorization criteria and selection standards of informatics textbooks. The content analysis demonstrated that there were discrepancies among textbooks in areas such as the total number of pages, related material, the number of core concepts introduced in each chapter, and the application of software. The survey results showed that two sections - 'Expression and Modification' and 'Text' exhibited the most positive results, and the 'Creativity' section the least. Using the findings above, we present alternative ways to improve qualities of these textbooks.

Since the national curriculum and textbooks are essential to understand the country's educational system, the importance of the textbook analysis should be emphasized to understand the education in North Korea. In this study, the science textbooks of North Korean elementary schools published since the year 2000 were analysed in depth and compared with those of 1990's, then the change in North Korean elementary science education was investigated. As for the external format, the total pages of 3rd grade textbooks of 2000's decreased notably. The 4th grade textbooks show an emphasis on the integrating feature of season-related chapters. The analysis of each category using a content framework of TIMSS shows that the content proportion relating to Earth Science and Physical Science was increased, while the proportion relating to Biological Science was decreased. Besides, changes of proportion of each subcategories were analysed and discussed.

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the reading materials in the elementary school science textbooks in order to obtain implications for the effective use of them. The reading materials in the elementary school science textbooks developed under the 7th and the 2007 revised National Science Curricula were analyzed. The criteria for classifying the reading materials were the type of theme, purpose, students' activity, the type of presentation, the type of images, the role of images, and readability. The results indicated that the reading materials in the 2007 revised science textbooks are more systematic than those in the 7th science textbooks in terms of their length and their distribution among energy, matter, life, and earth areas. It was also found that various types of reading materials are presented in the 2007 revised science textbooks covering new themes such as frontier science, job opportunity and career, and environment. In addition, the reading materials in the 2007 revised science textbooks introduce more visual images and the readability of them are also better than their counterpart. However, several limitations were still found to exist in the reading materials of the 2007 revised textbooks; most of them are non-inquiry and explanatory; most of the visual images are illustration and/or pictures. Educational implications are discussed.

2014년부터 초등학교 3-4학년 학생들이 사회, 과학, 영어 과목에서 디지털 교과서를 사용할 예정이고, 그 다음 해에 5-6학년 학생들도 같은 과목에서 디지털 교과서를 사용하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 디지털 교과서를 아직 접하지 못한 초등학교 교사들이 디지털교과서에 대해 어떤 인식을 갖고 있고, 정보기술수용모델에 근거하여 초등학교 교사들이 디지털 교과서를 어느 정도 수용하는지 알아보았다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 응답한 많은 초등학교 교사들이 디지털 교과서를 사용할 준비가 되어 있지 않았고, 디지털 교과서 사용에 대해 우려하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 디지털 교과서를 사용할 경우 유용성과 유희성이 디지털 교과서를 수용하는 데 있어 중요한 변인으로 나타났다.

This study intended to examine the differences through comparative analysis of the illustrations and contents in the 3rd-6th grade elementary science textbooks of Korea and Finland. The analysis of the types and illustrations in the Korean and Finnish textbooks revealed that the textbooks of both counties provide many photographs and illustrations, so as to deliver data mainly in the form of realistic illustration. In Korean textbooks, photographs were mainly used to guide the students into experiments and to train the students in analyzing and interpreting data. In contrast, the Finnish textbooks place more emphasis on pictures and photographs to enhance their interests and curiosity and understand. The Korean textbooks should place more emphasis on the pictures in order to encourage elementary school students to interest and understand. As a result the addition of more diverse forms of illustrations and the re-organization of illustrations according to the topic should be considered in future Korean textbooks.

In this study, the readability of the texts in the third and the sixth grade science textbooks developed under the 2007 revised science curriculum were analyzed in terms of word and sentence units. In the word unit analyses, the levels of the words in the texts were classified into four categories, 1st to 4th levels. In the sentence unit analyses, the sentences in the texts were classified either a simple sentence or compound/complex sentences, and the average length of the sentences was also calculated. The results indicated that more than 90 percents of the words in the 2007 revised science textbooks were classified as the 1st to the 3rd levels. However, both the kinds and the frequencies of the words in the 2007 revised science textbooks were increased in comparison of those in the 7th science textbooks. In particular, it was found that the increasement in the 3rd grade science textbook was noticeable. The ratio of the compound/complex sentences in the 2007 revised science textbooks were increased in comparison of those in the 7th science textbooks. The average length of the sentences in the 2007 revised science textbooks was also increased.

The purpose of this study were to see the concept of creativity for the application to the home economics subject and to analyze the home economics textbooks required by the 6th curriculum in a viewpoint of the development of creativity. To achieve these purposes, the learning unit of making necessaries of 8 different home economics textbooks for middle school were compared in the point of titles of learning unit, learning objectives, contents of learning unit, study problems, and exercises. The results of this study were as follows : 1) For the learning objectives, most of home economics textbooks were focused on the basic knowledge and basic skills education rather than the creative thinking and creative problem solving. 2) For the contents of the textbooks, all of home economics textbooks were fixed by the materials and making steps for education of basic skills. So, it was found that the creativity of students could not developed. 3) For the study problems, most of home economics textbooks had some posibility of developing the creativity of students, relatively. 4) For the exercises, most of home economics textbooks had limited posibility of developing the creativity of students.

The purposes of this study are to help the authorized textbooks on home economics be selected and used effectively, to provide basic data that are needed to improve the quality of home economics textbooks, and to suggest a next curriculum on home economics. In the study, eight high school home economics textbooks for "6th Curriculum developed by Ministrv of Education and Human Resources Development"were used for the analysis. The results are summarized as follows: there were wide differences in degrees of diversity and accomplishment in the contents of textbooks. In comparison, it was unfolded that three areas, "family", "home resource management" and "consumer" ,occupied much larger portions than other areas. About 81 percent of the authors of home economics textbooks were professors. A contents analysis on the clothing area showed that every textbook includes costume culture, clothing materials, clothing maintenance, and clothing construction. The presentation coverages and relative difficulties of textbooks were, however, diverse. It is somewhat noticeable that, while fewer professors majoring in clothing construction participated in writing, generally more pages were allocated to clothing construction than other areas. While presentations on anthropometrics method, construction theory, draft theory, usage of sewing machine and fitting theory were insufficient most textbooks were dealing with drafting of basic slopers and sewing procedure, etc. Making-up techniques on the apparels items such as Korean traditional men's pants, pajamas, shirt vest skirt, pants, apron and Korean pouch were handled closely in each textbook.

수학 학습에서 기호는 용어의 수학적 의미를 함축적으로 표현하여 용어와 관련된 학습 내용을 간결하게 나타낸다. 초등학교 수학 교과서의 기호는 기호를 처음 접하는 학생이 기호의 수학적 의미를 읽고 이해할 수 있게 제시되었다. 중학교 수학 교과서에서도 대부분의 기호는 읽고 이해할 수 있게 서술되었지만 교과서에 따라 기호 자체의 서술과 기호와 관련된 내용이 명확하지 않거나 서로 다르게 제시된 사례가 있다. 본 논문은 중학교 수학 교과서에서 기호를 읽고 이해할 수 있게 서술하는 것과 관련하여 교수 학습에 나타날 수 있는 문제점을 논의하고, 이에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.
