독일과 한국 중학교 사회교과서의 선거교육 관련 내용 비교분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find the improvement points of electoral education through the analysis of secondary textbooks in Germany and Korea. As a result of comparative analysis, first, the current composition method, which is limited to understanding election-related systems and concepts from enhancing learners' autonomy, changes to an active, behavioral approach as a voter participating in an actual election. Second, the argumentative nature should be reproduced. A textbook should put into practice the traditional view of social studies education, which should be dealt with as the argument itself. Controversy exists with a fixed answer. This should be treated as the beginning of resolving a curricular problem considering that it is the daily life of a democratic citizen to check the facts, identify different points of view, examine differing opinions and find points for review. Third, in terms of structuring learner participation, comparing the German textbook composition that leads to actual social participation and the Korean textbook composition focusing on conceptual understanding, it seems that it is structurally difficult to provide an experience of participation other than individual understanding learning activities. Individual learning activities and awareness and participation as a sovereign exist on a completely different level. In a democratic society, participation is based on relationships with others. Fourth, in terms of evaluation, it is necessary to construct a textbook that can evaluate the above-mentioned enhancement of learner autonomy, reproduction of argument, and structure of learner participation. . This is because education content and evaluation must be integrated. In the above discussion, it was confirmed through textbook analysis that Korea's election education was insufficient in the basic principles of social studies education as well as not in conformity with the political concept of conflict mediation compared to Germany's election education. In a word, school politics education in Korea and furthermore, election education needs to be practiced more actively and concretely. Elections are even more so because they are the flower of democracy.
