Abstract

This study analyzed the plants used in traditional Korean culture that were found in the national and authorized textbooks for all grades of the 2015 revised elementary school curriculum. A total of 155 items of traditional culture utilized by plants in national textbooks were presented 480 times, and a total of 74 items were presented 138 times in the authorized textbooks. Among the different areas of traditional culture, the traditional life area occupied a high number of occurrences in both national and authorized textbooks. In all textbooks, the frequency of occurrence of traditional culture was highest in Korean subjects. By grade group, there was higher occurrence of traditional cultural items presented in the textbooks of the upper grades (5th and 6th grades). In addition, it was found that the area of dietary life was presented the most in the subcategory of traditional culture in all textbooks. The types of plants found in the traditional culture areas totaled 82 species found in national textbooks and 49 species found in authorized textbooks. A total of 85 plant species were surveyed in national and authorized textbooks. Compared to the plants analyzed in the revised curriculum in 2015, 31% were found to be new plant types investigated through plants used in traditional culture areas. Horticultural crops were presented the most, indicating that the proportion of food was fairly high. Lastly, herbaceous plants were used more frequently than woody plants in all national and authorized examination textbooks. This study analyzed the plants used in traditional Korean culture that were found in the national and authorized textbooks for all grades of the 2015 revised elementary school curriculum. As a result of this study, a wider diversity of plant species used in the traditional culture area were found in elementary school textbooks and it is believed that more diverse plant materials could be presented in future education curricula.
