고등학교 경제교과서에 나타난 ‘정부의 역할’ 내용 분석 -교수요목기부터 2009개정 교육과정까지-

Abstract

The purpose of study is to grasp tendency and meaning of ‘the role of government' described in high school economic textbook from the Syllabus Period to 2009 national curriculum revision period. We analyzed textbook with ‘content analysis method’ and conducts quantitative analysis and qualitative review. For quantitative analysis criteria, we used four types of government- Framework state, Regulatory state, Promotional state and Social service state. The result of analysis shows that the proportion of the paragraph related to government had been increasingly reduced. The measurement result of the number of sentence, Social Service state and Promotional state are of great importance in the syllabus period and the 1th national curriculum. In the 2nd and 3th national curriculum, Promotional state is more high. From the 4th national curriculum, Framework State has increasing importance. The proportion of Social Service state fell about 10% after 2009 national curriculum revision. That is why the part of redistribution of income was excluded by the revised curriculum on December, 2009. For the result of qualitative examination, it was possible to achieve the same result. Comparison with the historical background and the result of analysis shows a certain tendency. This tendency is that national curriculum and textbooks reflect only the (political) needs of governments, not the needs of society. Even though the welfare is recently emphasized worldwide and the demand of income inequality solution raise constantly, the curriculum and textbook do not reflect this issues. Because the aim of social education is to train “people who strenuous citizen for the development of community", the contents like income distribution, social welfare and so on should be emphasized more.
