The present study aims to analyze the extent of the use of STS contents in the areas of 'Evolution of Life' and 'Health of Humanity and Scientific Technology' in 'Science' textbooks and to determine whether they meet the goals of the curriculum revised in 2009. The analysis of the 7 types of textbooks according to the STS topics areas indicated big differences between textbooks as little as 16.67% and as much as 58.33%. Also, among the topics associated with STS, 'Space Development and National Defense' and 'Environmental Problems' were not included. In the STS activity areas, the areas of 'Structured Debate,' 'Interpretation of Data,' 'Research and Investigation' showed great frequency. On the other hand, the STS activity areas of 'Field Activities,' 'Problem-solving and Decision-making,' 'Role Playing,' 'Simulation,' 'Case Study,' and 'Research Design' showed small frequency. Analysis of the STS contents for each area indicated 67.57% for the contents relevant to 'the applicability of science' accounting for the largest part whereas 'Understanding of Occupations related to Science' accounted for 1.63%, showing a great difference in their frequency. Seven standards except 'the applicability of science' were included each contents beyond 10% or less than 10% proportion. The STS contents included in the life science area of the 7 types of convergence-style 'Science' textbooks for the high-school accounted for an average of 20.75%, from as little as 12.35% to as much as 26.90%, depending on the publishes.

The purpose of this study is to look at families as presented on the technology-home economics subject of middle school. To do this, I analyzed the 2007 revised curriculum of the technology-home economics subject, 'Changing Families,' in 11 technology-home economics textbooks (8th grade). The findings are as follows. First, family-related chapters are expanded compared with the previous curriculum in the 2007 revised curriculum. In addition, the new version emphasizes understanding and acceptance of change in families to improve the family life of adolescents. Second, in the 11 types of technology-home economics textbooks, the focusing was on the meaning of the family, the family structure, the function of the family, family roles and family values. There were also no major differences in the aspect of development. Third, in the technology-home economics textbooks, the family was defined as the 'basic group of society', 'a group composed by blood relationships, marriage and adoption', 'an affective group' and 'cohabiting group'. At the same time, there were many cases in which the description of the family was overly romanticized. Such a description of the family does not match the individual family experience of an adolescent. Fourth, all of textbooks dealt with the diversity of the family structure, such as single-parent families, remarriages families, and multi-cultural families. However, the structural characteristics and problems with these types of families are excessively emphasized, which can result in students having stereotypical images of specific family types. Fifth, the explanation of the function of the family was similar among textbooks. The importance of intergenerational cooperation and gender equality was also emphasized. However, such a concept is not considered as proper in a modern society. Thus, the description of a family based on the nuclear family should be sublated. In addition, the explanation of families overall should be developed in such a way that adolescents can interpret their own family experience rather than as an enlightening declaration of the family which disregards the dynamic relationships individual families actually experience.

The Safe Life is an essential subject of education introduced in the 2015 revised curriculum for first and second graders of elementary school to cultivate safety awareness. This study aims to explore the relationship between concepts and concepts that are important in the Safe Life textbook using a keyword network analysis. The results indicate that the areas of life safety, traffic safety, and disaster safety are emphasized in terms of topics in the textbook. The teaching and learning methods for the Safe Life education are mainly based on "experience" and "practice," and the most common teaching materials are card games and sticky stickers. Based on the findings, we suggest maintaining the experience-oriented safety education approach and diversifying the teaching and learning materials and methods to incorporate various safety education areas.

The purpose of this study was to make suggestions for improvement by analyzing the activity tasks in the clothing life area in middle school 「Technology & Home Economics」 textbooks of the 2015 revised curriculum. For this purpose, the multiple intelligence teaching-learning strategy analysis criteria were reconstructed and used for analysis. The activity tasks of the clothing life area of 「Technology & Home Economics I」 textbooks from 12 different publishers were analyzed based on the reconstructed analysis criteria, and the content validity was verified by 11 experts. The content validity, assessed by CVI was 0.94. According to the results, the logical·mathematical intelligence accounted for the highest proportion with 31.02%, followed by linguistic intelligence(23.81%), visual/spatial intelligence(17.08%), intrapersonal intelligence(14.71%), interpersonal intelligence(5.79%), bodily/kinesthetic intelligence(5.22%), naturalistic intelligence(2.37%), and musical intelligence(0.00%). The results showed that the teaching-learning strategies most frequently implemented in clothing life area were logical/mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, visual/spatial intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence. On the other hand, teaching-learning strategies related to interpersonal intelligence, bodily/kinesthetic intelligence, and naturalistic intelligence were used at a relatively low proportion. Therefore, it is recommended to expand the teaching-learning strategies of interpersonal, bodily/kinesthetic, naturalistic and musical intelligence, for a more balanced intelligence development of students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the features of science language in Earth science textbooks and Earth science research articles. We examined two Earth science textbooks and two Earth science articles using the taxonomy of scientific words, the text structure analysis of explanations, the analysis of conjunctive relations and reasoning, and the function of conjunction. The results showed that school science language revealed in Earth science textbooks had high proportion of naming words and the text structures in which definition/exemplification structure and description structure were dominant. Also, internal relations that showed additional arrangement rather than logical inference, were predominant in Earth science textbooks. However, scientists' science language revealed in the Earth science articles had more proportion of process words and concept words than the Earth science textbooks and the schematic structure of explanation texts, such as orientation - implication sequence - conclusion. In addition, the text structures in each sentences of implication -sequence showed cause/effect or problem-solving after description structures. Also each sentences expressed causal or abductive reasoning through the internal relations using verbs or adverbial inflection. It is necessary that we bridge the gap between the two languages for students' authentic use of science language. For the bridging, we propose "interlanguage", which mediates between school science language and scientists' language.

The major functions of the digital textbooks that have been developed recently were focused on electronic whiteboard, learning tools, multimedia. But supporting contents retrieval was not included yet. This study is aimed to develop an elementary digital textbook that supports retrieval function. We surveyed elementary teachers about the requirements for search function and a digital textbook was designed and implemented based on the result of the survey. The distinctive feature of the developed digital textbook, which is written in XML, is that it is enabled to search the units of meaningful phrases. The survey which was carried out after using the new digital textbook showed that more than 90% of the teachers think that it is quite useful in class and they would like to use this textbook in their class. If a retrieval function can be added to the digital textbook which is going to be supplied to elementary schools, it will be a lot helpful for teaching and learning procedure.

In this study, science teachers' perception and attitude toward nanotechnology are examined through questionnaires gathered from 134 secondary science teachers. As a result, the study shows that science teachers have high perceptiveness. However, they do not understand specific information on nanotechnology correctly. Science teachers have positive attitudes toward nanotechnology and they have perceived risks of nanotechnology as well as benefits of nanotechnology. Science teachers show positive attitudes toward the application of nanotechnology, whereas they show negative attitudes toward personal information chip and nano-taste enhancer. Science teachers are exposed to nanotechnology via various sources such as TV and internet, whereas teachers rarely get information on nanotechnology-related concepts in textbooks and teaching resources. Science teachers have perceived many textbooks do not introduce enough nanotechnology-related concepts. Many teachers try to explain the nanotechnology when textbooks include nanotechnology-related concepts, whereas quite a few of teachers do not introduce the nanotechnology-related concepts in class.

The purpose of this study was to analyze reflected status of evidence-based guideline on nursing textbook for prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). The subjects were 14 fundamental nursing textbooks consisting of 7 theoretical and 7 practical books published from March 2012 to March 2017. The evidence-based guideline was consisted of ninety-one recommendations for prevention of CAUTIs which were comprehensively collected from five guidelines. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Reflected rate on theoretical and practical fundamental nursing textbooks were 23.0% and 15.2% respectively. The most reflected domains in theoretical and practical textbooks was catheter management and catheter insertion respectively. Sixteen out of 91 individual recommendations with more than 50% consistency rate were identified, and eight (50.0%) recommendations on the catheter maintenance area were identified. Lastly nine inconsistent recommendations were identified. And the most frequent discrepancies were indwelling catheterization for management of urinary incontinence, followed by regular changing indwelling catheter, clamping prior to removal and perineal care. In conclusion, we found that recommendations for the CAUTIs guidelines were poorly reflected on text books. Further revising fundamental nursing textbook should correct the discrepancies between textbooks and the guidelines.
