初等學校 漢字 敎材의 분석과 敎授·學習 方法 고찰－서울특별시교육청 認定 初等學校 『漢字』 敎科書를 중심으로－

Abstract

The national language education policy does not permit Chinese character education in the current elementary school curriculum. In fact, the majority of elementary school, however, carries out the education through a discretionary activity of the 7th curriculum. In order to effectively teach Chinese character to elementary students, it requires employing efficient teaching methods. This is necessarily connected with the contents of textbook for teaching Chinese character. In other words, the structure of textbook can be an important variable for implementing teaching and learning methods. In spite of the importance, I found several problems in current Chinese character textbook, which is authorized by the Seoul metropolitan office of education. The findings are as follows: First, most of textbooks are organized as teacher-centered instructional methods. Second, it is difficult for teachers to apply various teaching and learning methods because the system of the textbook content is not flexible. Third, in terms of the content of textbook, it is very inflexible that results from following the precedents without in-depth considerations and understandings of the curriculum. The solutions for these problems are as follows. First, the textbook should focus more on student-centered teaching and learning methods. Second, the textbook should be affordable to apply various teaching-learning methods and techniques. Third, the textbook should be designed to develop creativity and higher-order thinking of students with the interdisciplinary approach.
