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.

The purpose of this study is to compare the elementary science curriculum and textbooks of Korea, the United States, Japan, and Singapore to know how the contents on particulate concept of matter is introduced and expressed. In Korea, particulate concept of matter was adopted as a term for 'molecules' in the 3rd through 6th curriculum, and the term for 'particles' was adopted in the 2009 revised curriculum. In the United States, NGSS adopted the term 'particle' in fifth grade. Japan presented the concept of 'particle' as a core concept of matter in the commentary, and the expressions 'particles' were being introduced in the textbooks. But it did not cover particulate nature of matter at the elementary school level in Singapore. An analysis of elementary textbooks in Korea, the United States and Japan except Singapore showed particulate expressions in 'dissolution', 'state change of water', 'gas pressure and volume', 'combustion and extinguishment' units. Korean textbook was only being introduced in 'dissolution' and 'gas pressure and volume', but in the textbooks of Japan and the United States, water was expressed as particles in 'state change of water' unit. Discussion and implication on the introduction of particulate concept to elementary science curriculum and textbooks were suggested based on the results.

초등학교 수학 수업에서 교사의 교과서에 대한 의존도가 높으며, 수학은 문제의 답을 구하는 것이라는 신념이 강하기 때문에 교과서에 제시되는 문제가 특히 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 우리나라 초등학교 수학 교과서의 문제를 정량적, 정성적으로 분석하였다. 구체적으로, 1차 교육과정에서 2015 개정 교육과정까지 수학 교과서의 두 자리 수 범위의 받아올림이 있는 덧셈과 받아내림이 있는 뺄셈 관련 문제를 문제 빈도, 형태 및 수행 요구, 활용 주체의 정량적 차원에서, 문제의 표현과 맥락의 정성적 차원에서 각각 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 각 교과서에 제시된 문제는 교육과정 및 교육사조의 변화를 반영하며, 시대의 흐름에 따라 학생들의 문제해결, 추론, 의사소통 능력을 신장시키는 방향으로 변화하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과로부터 교과서 집필 시 다루어야 할 문제와 관련한 몇 가지 시사점을 제안하였다.

이 연구의 목적은 중학교 수학교과서에 제시된 각 개념 도입 및 전개 양상을 살펴보고, 이를 토대로 수학교과서의 집필 방향 및 각 지도를 위한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 1차부터 2015 개정 교육과정까지 중학교 1학년 수학교과서 57권을 수집하여 각 및 각 주변 개념들의 표현 방식을 분석하였고, 그것을 바탕으로 결론을 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 중학교 교과서에서는 각을 제시할 때 초등학교와 달리 각의 회전 관점 및 동적 관점을 추가하여 다면적으로 접근하고 있으며, 각의 기술적 정의는 2009개정 교육과정 이후로는 기호 사용을 제외하고 대체로 초등학교 교과서와 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

The textbook is a predominant feature of most classrooms. Because the textbook is an important aspect of educational experience, it is essential that the content of the texts be carefully scrutinized. The purpose of this study was to examine the visual portrayal of gender groups in elementary $"Chay{\tilde{o}}n"$ textbooks developed by the 6th National Science Curriculum. An instrument was developed to analyze the nature and type of activity engaged in by these groups as well as how often members of these groups were portrayed. Data were collected from 8 elementary $"Chay{\tilde{o}}n"$ textbooks. The results show the following two different features. While the elementary $"Chay{\tilde{o}}n"$ textbooks do not show gender-biases in representing science learning activities such as observing, experimenting, measuring, they show distinct gender-stereotyped roles and activities. It is expected that the results of this study are considered in developing the new elementary "Science" textbooks which show gender-fairness.

In the history of elementary school mathematics education in Korea, the period led by the Government-General of Joseon during the Japanese colonial period cannot be omitted. As a way to grasp the real state of elementary school mathematics education at that time, there is a method of analyzing elementary school mathematics textbooks published by the Government-General of Joseon. However, the actual state of the publication of them was not sufficiently known. For this reason, this study surveys the actual state of the publication of those textbooks. To this end, real information on textbooks owned currently by various institutions and information on the publication of those textbooks in the official gazette and documents of the Government-General of Joseon were checked and organized.

본 논문에서는 초등학교 교과서 말뭉치를 구축하고, 초등교과서에서 나타나는 어휘들에 대하여 통계분석을 실시하였다. 또한 초등 교과서가 일반생활에서 사용하는 어휘와 얼마나 유사한지를 살펴보기 위하여 스피어만 상관관계 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과로 초등교과서의 말뭉치 구축 모습과 실제 예시를 보였고, 상관관계 분석을 통하여 초등교과서와 일반 말뭉치와의 상관관계를 수치적으로 보였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the questions in the 'Matter' units of elementary science textbooks under the 7th curriculum. For the analysis, a total of 338 questions were extracted from 15 units. Six criteria (recalling, recognizing, predictive, applied, divergent, and evaluative question) were reconstructed for textbook question analysis based on Blosser(1973)'s question category system for science. The results were as follows. First, there were more closed (recalling, recognizing, predictive, or applied) questions (72.2%) than open (divergent or evaluative) questions (27.8%) in elementary science textbooks. Second, cognitive-memory (recalling or recognizing) question type was the most frequently asked in all grade levels. Open (divergent or evaluative) questions increased according to grade level whereas convergent (predictive or applied) questions decreased. Third, question types were applied based on the characteristics of each unit rather than on children's developmental characteristics. Educational implications were discussed based on the results.

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.

This study aimed to analysis of concepts and inquiry activities related to the 'Earth Science' area in the South Korean elementary school textbooks to the current and to seek the improvement of future textbook. For the study, we were collected South Korean elementary school textbooks to the current. After the collection had been made, we were analyzed related to the 'Earth' area in the South Korean elementary school textbooks and were extracted central concepts and inquiry activities. The result of this study: First, there were 'A change in the land', 'Strata and Fossil', 'Volcanoes and Earthquakes', 'Earth and Moon', 'The weather', 'The Solar system and the Star', and 'Seasonal Change' in the central concepts related to the 'Earth' area in the South Korean elementary school textbooks to the current. Second, central concepts were almost the same but the curriculum was changed. Third, inquiry activities also were confirmed to be maintained with little change. This result was believed that it can provide a variety of suggestions at this point in changing the curriculum.
