2022 교육과정 『한국사』 교과서의 아시아태평양전쟁 ‘停滯’ 서술 실태와 원인

Abstract

This study examined the actual state of descriptions related to the Asia-Pacific War in high school Korean history textbooks written according to the 2022 curriculum. In particular, the terminology, timing, category, and status of stagnation writing related to the Munitions base Policy of the Asia-Pacific War were identified and the causes were considered. Most of the textbooks used inappropriate terms or set unclear times and categories in the process of describing the Japanese invasion of the continent and the Munitions base Policy. For example, in relation to the Japanese Korean Peninsula Munitions base, there is a tendency to explain the Growing cotton in the South, raising sheep in the North policy as a representative. In this article, this was defined as the Stagnation Writing of textbooks, and the causes were identified in two ways. First, there are limitations of the curriculum, the shackles of existing descriptions, and second, the lack of understanding of the Japanese policy of Munitions base. In the end, such Stagnation Writing can make it difficult for students to organically understand the Japanese war of aggression and colonial rule policies. In the conclusion, several measures were suggested to overcome this.
