Abstract

Both Earth science II and Korean geography textbooks emphasize the importance of content related to 'geology of the Korean Peninsula'. This study aimed to analyze the differences in the content related to the 'geology of the Korean Peninsula' presented in the textbooks, and to find out whether these differences are consistent with the latest scientific knowledge in any inconsistencies are found. For this purpose, seven textbooks (four Earth science II and three Korean geography) published under the 2015 revised curriculum were selected as the subject of analysis, and the difference in the description of the tectonic provinces of the Korean Peninsula, geologic time scale, and explanatory texts of geological characteristics between Earth science II and Korean geography textbooks were compared. As a result of the analysis, there are some cases of inconsistencies between Earth science II and Korean geography textbooks in terms of terminologies, names, and distribution ranges related to the tectonic provinces of the Korean Peninsula. The Korean geography textbooks had inconsistencies in the geochronologic data of the rocks as they cited outdated data. In addition, inconsistencies were found in the explanatory texts describing the 'distribution of rocks on the Korean Peninsula', 'characteristics of the Pyeongan Supergroup', and 'great hiatus of the Paleozoic Era'. Both Earth science and Geography have many concepts in common, therefore, effort is needed to minimize the differences in content. It is important to select the content appropriately which should reflect the latest scientific knowledge and presents the concepts consistently.

지구과학 II 및 한국지리 교과서는 '한반도의 지질'과 관련된 내용을 공통적으로 중요하게 다루고 있다. 이 연구는 지구과학 II 및 한국지리 교과서에 제시된 '한반도의 지질' 관련 내용의 차이를 분석하고, 차이가 있다면 최신 과학 지식과의 일치 여부를 비교하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 2015 개정 교육과정에서 발간된 교과서 7종(지구과학 II 4종, 한국지리 3종)을 분석 대상으로 선정하고, 한반도의 지체구조, 지질 연대 자료 및 지질시대별 지질학적 특성의 설명 텍스트에 대한 차이를 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 한반도의 지체구조와 관련된 용어, 명칭, 분포 범위에서 교과서 간에 불일치 사례가 발견되었다. 한반도의 지질 연대 자료도 불일치 사례를 보였는데, 한국지리 교과서의 경우 오래된 자료를 인용하여 최신 과학 지식과의 차이를 보였다. 또한, '한반도의 암석 분포', '평안누층군의 특징', '고생대의 대결층'에 대한 설명 텍스트에서 불일치 사례가 발견되었다. 지구과학 및 지리 교과는 중복되는 내용 요소가 많기 때문에 교과 간의 내용 차이를 최소화하는 노력이 필요하며, 이를 위해서는 최신의 과학 지식을 반영한 적절한 내용을 선정하여 교과에 관계없이 일관성 있게 제시하는 것이 중요하다.
