It has been reported that primary school students have difficulties in the reading process and their interests and achievement in reading is low, in spite of the various methods that have been introduced. This study aims to examine the reading approaches at the primary school level. To achieve this purpose, the primary English curriculum and textbooks were analyzed in order to explore the approaches that were adopted for primary English reading. The textbooks were analyzed in two aspects: the selection of words and the teaching methods for reading. The data revealed that the curriculum looked well-structured according to the developmental stages of reading, but that the textbooks did not facilitate reading for early readers. Although the reading text increased gradually from the letter to the sentence level, the words in each unit were not organized to help readers recognize the text efficiently which impinged on the students’ reading comprehension. Since words at each unit were selected meaning-based, students had to memorize them as a unitary whole. On the other hand, it was rare to find words structured on the basis of letter-sound relations between words. This lack of structure prevented students from recognizing the alphabetic principles of English. As a result, the textbooks did not consider the bottom-up skills at all in its development process. Therefore, students failed to acquire the basic principles of alphabetic language in the early reading stage. Some suggestions for curriculum and textbook development are presented in the end.

This paper analyzes the high school textbooks for German which were developed according to the guidelines of the 7th National Curriculum. The study focuses on communicative features of texts/dialogues and the lessons in general.

This analysis aims at identifying and analyzing the elements which are relevant for communicative exercises. For that purpose, the author analyzes the proportion of texts in relation to dialogues, and the therein contained distribution of communicative situations or themes; another aspect of analysis deals with the question, how systematically the lessons are structured in order to enhance the four communicative activities and skills.

The purpose of this study is to propose the development phases and the directions of the electronic textbook for English education. In order to achieve this purpose, above all, the conception of electronic textbook based on electronic book is defined. Second, the electronic and traditional printed textbook is compared. Third, the types of electronic textbook are classified, and the practical process of developing CD-ROM titles in the primary English education is presented. In this study, it is suggested that there are six phases in the development phases of the electronic textbook: analysis - design - development - experiment - evaluation - revise - application. Furthermore, the directions of the electronic textbook are proposed in terms of the design of learning contents, functional components, and technical components systematically. Particularly, learning contents based on the national curriculum should be designed in detail. Accordingly, the characteristics of English education and the possibility of application should be considered in designing the electronic textbook.

본 연구에서는 제7차 교육과정에 의해 편찬된 21종의 과학 교과서와 지도서에 나타난 섭입경계에서의 마그마 형성 관련 내용에 대한 본문 진술과 제시된 그림들을 분석하여 문제점을 지적하고 그 개선방안을 모색하였다. 분석 결과 교과서간 마그마의 정의에 일관성이 없었으며, 대부분의 교과서에서 마그마의 생성기원에 관한 과학적 개념 진술이 정확하지 않거나 기재되지 않았다. 또한 교과서에 제시된 그림들은 본문 내용과 일치하지 않았으며, 판구조론과 섭입경계에서의 화성활동에 대한 학생들의 과학적 개념형성에 부족하고 잘못된 내용을 포함하고 있다. 이들은 주로 마그마의 생성기작(형성과정), 기원물질, 생성위치와 관련된 것들로서, 본 연구에서는 최근에 발표된 연구결과들을 바탕으로 섭입경계에서 분출되는 대부분의 중성마그마가 쐐기맨틀의 부분용융에 의해 형성된다는 사실을 종합적으로 이해할 수 있는 적절한 개념도를 제시하였다.

This study analyzed English words that are used in the middle school English text books of the 6th and the 7th National Curriculum in Korea. For this analysis, an English corpus of a total of 1,230,023 nodes was built out of 63 English textbooks of the 6th and the 7th National Curriculum. The study specifically investigated the following items for analysis: 1) tokens and types of words used in the middle school textbooks, 2) frequency of the words, and the numbers of new words introduced in each school-year, 3) high-frequency words in the textbooks with reference to those in large-scale general English corpora, 4) parts of speech of the words and their frequencies, and 5) the comparison of the words used in reading parts and listening parts. Analysis of the corpus revealed the following results. Regarding the average number of tokens and types, the textbooks based on the 7th Curriculum contain more than those based on the 6th Curriculum. As for the frequency of the repetition of words, the 6th curriculum textbooks are more than the 7th curriculum textbooks. Comparison of vocabularies used in the text corpus and in general large-scale English corpus shows that there are more similarities than differences.

이 연구는 6차 고등학교 공통과학 교과서의 내용 중 온실효과 개념에 대한 본문진술과 제시된 그림 및 도표들을 분석하고 오개념 유발과 관련하여 문제점을 지적하고 그 개선방안을 모색하였다. 과학교과서의 개념진술이 정확하지 않아 학습자들에게 오개념을 유발하거나 재강화 할 가능성이 있는 여러 진술문을 발견하였고 학생의 과학적 개념형성에 부족한 그림이나 도표들도 발견되었다. 이들은 온실효과의 주 역할 기체와 변화, 지구온난화, 에너지원, 실험, 물리적 과정, 온실기체와 관련된 것들이다. 이들 개념진술이나 그림, 도표를 대체할 개선방안들을 제시하였다.
