Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the energy-related units of science textbook in the third grade of North Korea Primary School. The subject of the study is a science textbook developed by North Korea's first universal 12-year compulsory education program in 2013. The energy units of North Korea textbook were compared and analyzed with the energy related units of the 3rd and 4th grade textbooks according to the revision of 2015. Analysis of North Korea textbook focused on education content density, types and functions of illustrations, types and levels of inquiry activities each unit. The results of the study are as follows. First, the energy contents’ scope and level of South and North Korea primary schools differed depending on the grade. Second, science textbook for the third grade of North Korea elementary school showed a higher proportion of physical fields compared to the others. Third, the density of energy content of South Korea elementary school was higher than that of North Korea. Fourth, illustrations in South Korea textbooks were highly dependent on photography and North Korea was highly dependent on painting. Fifth, both South and North Korea were heavily dependent on exemplary function, and South Korea used more descriptive and complementary functions of illustration than North Korea.
