실과 교과서의 부록 활용 실태 조사 연구

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to make quantitative analysis of the appendices of practical arts textbooks used under the 2009 Revised National Curriculum by type and to survey students’ preference for, understanding of, perception of the usefulness of, and interest in the appendices by type. For these purposes, this study analyzed the appendices of practical arts textbooks from six textbook publishers used under the current 2009 Revised Practical Arts Curriculum, and surveyed 480 children from 16 classes of 5 elementary schools in Gyeonggi-do about their perception of the appendices of practical arts textbooks. From these results were drawn conclusions as follows. First, the appendices of the current elementary practical arts textbooks are varied in volume among the publishers. The number of the appendices of practical arts textbooks for 5th and 6th graders showed a large variation from 7 to 25. Second, the appendices of the current elementary practical arts textbooks concentrated on specific units or did not include some necessary units depending on the publisher. Third, the children’s perception of the usefulness of the appendices of practical arts textbooks was not different according to grade or gender. Fourth, the children’s interest in the appendices of practical arts textbooks by type was not different according to grade, but was significantly different according to gender. Thus, when providing the appendices of practical arts textbooks, we need to consider appendices of drawing type for female students, and those of worksheet type for male ones.
