Recently science curriculum in middle school was reformed the fifth and the science textbook of middle school is five species. In order to prompte educational effect, this stydy compared and analyzed five kinds of new science textbook with an old sicence texbook of the second year in middle school.
The results of this study can be summarized as follows.
1) Reformed five kinds of science textbook have various contents by participating 50 authors
2) Reformed science textbook increased 10 pages more than old science textbook of middle school in quantity.
3) It was found out that the numbers of 'the Study and Observation' and 'Exercises and Questions' in new science textbooks increased.
4) The numbers of Pictures were unchanged, and the numbers of tables. Experiments, Exercises and Composite Questions were decreased.
5) The 38∼42% was appeared the ratio of Experiments, Tables, Pictures, and Geothic type Terms in more than three kinds of science textbooks.
6) New science textbooks were reflected 61∼75% of an old science textbook in Pictures, goethic type Terms, Tables, and Experiments.
As these results Terms and Contents reprented by Goethic type in science textbook should be selected carefully in order to prompte educational effect.
The selection of Exercises, Composite Questions, Experiments and Observations should be acllocated equally to each unit and behavior area.
And this study suggests that there should be introduced experiments of an environment pollusion and its influence into a science textbook.
