2009 개정교육과정에서 실과(기술⋅가정) 생명기술 내용과 연계성을 고려한 초⋅중등 생명기술교육 내용 분석과 주제 구안

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the biotechnological education contents of the elementary textbooks in the 2009 revised curriculum and comparatively to analyze the connections in the contents of middle school technology and home economics textbooks. The study was performed in the category of subject and grade and then provided learning activities in consideration of such connections. The following conclusions were obtained from the study. First, the textbooks for higher grade students contained more of contents related to biotechnological education. In addition, science and practical arts textbooks included the most contents related to biotechnological education. Second, the results from the analysis of the number of the contents related to biotechnological education by item were found that the domain of the usage of biotechnology showed the highest number. Third, elementary practical arts covered all the items for analysis more variously than other subjects. Furthermore, elementary practical arts were the only elementary subject that included career exploration associated with biotechnology. Fourth, the results from the analysis of contents related to biotechnological education in the middle school technology and home economics textbook showed that the middle school textbook evenly contained all the items for analysis and included more profound contents in all the domains than the elementary school text book. Fifth, contents related to biotechnological education contained in elementary school textbooks slanted to some domains, displaying lack of connections between subjects. Sixth, as for connections between contents related to biotechnological education according to grade by analysis item, other domains displayed lack of connection except for the usage of biotechnology. As the contents covered in middle school showed a rapid extension in scope and level compared with the contents in elementary school, students are expected to have difficulty in learning. Finally, this researcher developed and provided learning activities by analysis item for the connected development of technology and home economics in middle school and practical arts in elementary school in the process of developing textbooks under the 2015 revised curriculum.
