Geography textbooks and atlases are typical printed materials broadly used in the classroom and the public education as certified materials. The students' atlas, as supplementary materials, is useful in teaching and learning geography in the classroom. This study examines and evaluates the supplementary role of the students' atlas in the institutional and pedagogical perspectives. The textbook and the atlas were written by different writers and publishers based on the interpretation of the geography curriculum, the pedagogical beliefs and interests. The textbook is submitted to be certificated by Ministry of Education. Then the textbook and the atlas which is passed in the certification process can be distributed to schools to use in the classroom. Most maps and materials are supplied in the textbook and the atlas variously depended on the authors' interpretation of geography curriculum, which are designed complementally. But, that maps and materials of respective book of even different author are similar and duplicated. Sometimes maps and materials of textbook and atlas are independent, not mutual complement. It needed that geography textbook and student's atlas take a efficient role supplementarily in these certification system of textbook.

본 연구는 삶의 질의 문제가 지리교육 분야에서는 어떻게 제기될수 있는지를 살펴보고, 지리교육 활동에 참여하고 있는 사람들의 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서 수행되어야 할 과제는 무엇인지를 밝힌 것이다. 지리교육분야에서 제기되는 삶의 문제란 배우고 가르치는 활동의 질과 밀접히 관련되는데, 지리를 가르치고 배우는 과정에서 투입되고 활용되는 다양한 소프트웨어와 하드웨어의 질적 개선이 없이는 지리교육 분야에서의 삶의 질을 고양되기 힘들다는 것이다. 교재와 학습 프로그램과 수업운영방법에 있어서의 질적 발전을 도모하기 위해서는 지리교육의 목표 명료화, 지리교육과정의 계열적 조직방안 개발, 지리교육의 개념과 내용체계 표준화, 자료에 근거한 사고력 기르기 학습프로그램의 개발 등의 연구가 앞으로 체계적으로 이루어져야 할 필요성이 있음을 논의하였다.

Map uses graphic language of dot, line and area to represent surface of the earth. Map has been adopted as tools for regional and cartography learning to improve graphicacy in geography education. Due to the rapid development in GIS and internet, practical use of maps has been extended in various study area. This Study is to develope web-based leaning materials for self-controled geography instruction. As learning materials for this aim, it has been constructed WebGIS for topography and thematic maps with boundary map of Chungbuk, digital map of Jochiwon(1:25,000), statistic data and field images. Function of WebGIS intend to improve skills on geo-information collection and spatial query, regional difference of spatial distribution. Individual learning using internet can make an improvement of learner centeredness and problem-solving. Finally, it will be expected to be suggest one of the education guide as blueprint in info-society.

Regional learning in social studies has an important educational meaning in that it is a tabloid edition of social studies and it also satisfies the regionalization of national curriculum. Social studies in Korea have mainly been led by the social study curriculum of elementary school. But the local textbook which was currently used in elementary school is structured in a negative meaning of regionalization rather than positive one. It is suggested in this study that the regional learning of social studies in middle school should be pursued by the co-work of teachers and students. For this purpose, the theoretical and practical processes to develop the local textbook are compared between two distinctive localities such as Sancheong and Seosan. At first, the relative ratio among the six strands is decided to develop several themes for regional learning, considering the landscape, region-related discourses and ecological environments in each region. Secondly, several themes are extracted to organize the contents of local textbook in each region. Lastly, examples of content-organization are suggested in each region. The processes above are just an example of content-organization, not a fixed one. The process, themes extracted, and the content-organization for each region may be changed according to the school location, local situation, and the quality of classroom.

Film literacy comprises the process of producing a new creation through understanding the elements that make up a film, the content of a film, and a critical and creative thinking process. Film literacy is employed in fields such as composition, science, social studies, and geography, and, additionally, it is used to cultivate humanities literacy and critical thinking skills. Yet despite the large proportion of the film script in the movie, it is not easy to find literacy education cases that use film English as a teaching method. Film English is a practical and authentic material, and is suitable as an English learning material in an EFL context like Korea. However, the approach of using films to teach and learn differs according to the content and genre of a film. Thus, the teacher may have a difficult time organizing and preparing for class. This study suggests six class activities that can be commonly applied to English classes using films based on the areas of critical, cultural, and creative (3Cs) activities. Four hundred and five college students taking Movie English classes participated in the present study and frequency analysis was conducted to find out their preferences through a questionnaire survey. The results from conducting class activities in university liberal arts classes suggest that the most preferred activities of students are related to cultural, critical, and creative, in that order. Creative activities that are far beyond English instruction utilizing various digital tools or providing additional reading materials can be a burden on learners.
