Abstract

The Local Offices of Education in Jeollabuk-do, Kangwon-do, Gwangju-si, and Sejong-si launched a co-project to develop a complementary history textbook opposing openly against the national history textbook. They justified developing the complementary textbook to provide “complementary” or “differentiating” textbooks and to promote writing of the local histories to overcome the centralized history or the national history. This paper is written to suggest a methodology to develop good local history textbook materials. In doing so, I examined the themes, thought-provoking introductions, main texts, illustrations, further questions, and reading and materials in the complementary local history textbook project. The principles of developing the good local history textbooks are the same as the various issues raised by the historians and the history teachers when they opposed to the nationalization of history textbook. The principles and goals of the local history education are as follows; to enhance diversified historical perceptions beyond uniformity; to overcome rigid and exclusive nationalistic and statist views of history; to adopt the criticism of the history community on the national history education curricula and the national history textbook; to improve the level of understanding of the history debates and to make the history debate as a part of the textbook; and to enhance the understanding of history from local(peoples’) history perspective.
