Abstract

In this paper, we study the inquisitive tendency in informatics textbooks for middle school students. These textbooks were written in 2009, and have been adopted in 2013 as part of the curriculum. The research is based on six textbooks, which passed qualification tests, and is mainly focused on the section 'composition and movement of information equipment', which covers contents for the student's major field of study. Romey analysis was employed to analyze inquisitive tendency in four sections - text, data, activity and evaluation. The results illustrated that some textbooks were organized in a way that exhibited a low level of inquisitive tendency for students, and took an authoritative tone. The section 'activity' showed the highest level of inquisitive tendency and the 'text' showed the lowest level. Some sections in the textbooks were found to have zero Romey measures, which stress the need for improvement.

본 논문에서는 2009 개정 교육과정에 따라 제작되어 2013년부터 사용된 중학교 '정보' 교과서의 탐구성을 분석한다. 분석 대상 교과서는 인정 심사를 통과한 6권이며, 가장 많은 전공영역 교과목을 포함하고 있는 '정보기기의 구성과 동작' 영역을 분석한다. 탐구성 분석을 위해 Romey 분석법을 사용하며, 4가지 분석요소는 본문, 자료, 활동, 평가를 적용한다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 일부 교과서의 탐구성이 낮게 나타남으로써 교과서 구성이 학생 참여가 부족하고 권위적인 것으로 파악되었다. 분석요소 중에서 활동의 탐구적 경향이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 본문의 탐구성이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 특히 교과서의 일부 영역에서 Romey 지수가 0인 분석요소가 있어서 탐구성 향상을 위해 개선이 필요한 것으로 확인되었다.
