2015 개정 교육과정 중학교 『역사 부도』 교과서의 몽골 제국 관련 지도 및 자료에 대한 비판적 분석

Abstract

In this paper, I have critically examined how middle school Historical Atlas textbooks present maps and materials related to the Mongol Empire. By analyzing a total of six textbooks, we can see that there are several parts of the narrative of the Mongol Empire that need to be revised or more carefully reviewed. In particular, the most important is the map, and it is obvious that the various place names, territories of countries, and arrows indicating expeditionary routes on the map should accurately reflect historical facts. Through periodic curriculum revisions, the Mongol Empire has been increasingly covered in textbooks, and its significant impact on East Asian history as well as world history and global exchanges is also covered in Historical Atlas textbooks. Therefore, visual materials related to the Mongol Empire that have not received much attention or are unknown in the past became necessary in the textbook production process, and recent research results were used as a source of information to select materials. In this process, errors in explanations and unclear terminology have been identified, which will need to be refined in future revisions. In addition, the maps in the textbooks had to refer to various place names due to the vastness of the Mongol Empire, and errors are gradually appearing in each textbook. This is also something that needs to be corrected in the future. I hope that when new textbooks are produced based on the 2022 curriculum revision, the existing errors will be checked and further discussions will be held to correct them.
