Today, in the reality that private educational market on the basis of market capitalism is prevalent to normalize public education is major tasks of Korea society. Moreover, whenever personality problems or school violence problems of youth become issues, the voice of improvement toward public education from all walks of life has been growing louder and louder. It might be from general expectations that public education would cultivate human beings with affective and psychomotor domain as well as cognitive domain unlike private education. For internal substantiality of public education, class would be the essence and it should be developed as the learning- centered class which practices cooperation and sharing. During the process to practice learning, as a significant medium to guide the direction of class, the role of textbook would be expected. Textbook in the present is not to deliver uniform knowledge but to progress as a role to guide abundant experiences how to reconstruct educational contents in actual classes. Moreover, ‘paper’ textbook would replace ‘digital’ textbook within a few years, and according to existing government designated textbook system would be abolished and government- recognized system would be introduced, there is much attention towards how much textbook would guide subject objects with various contents and activities. In other words, future classes would go toward the direction that main agents of education would create new value on the basis of learning contents that textbook guide. Thus, in this thesis, by focusing on appreciation domain, 10 kinds of middle school art government-recognized textbooks which was revised in 2013, it was sought improvement plan and known the present situation of art textbooks by analyzing 1. learning contents (selected three kinds), 2. plates according to period, mode, technique of expression and works (10 kinds) and 3. Critical point of view and critic type stage (10 kinds). Chapter II considered educational effect according to tendency of recent art education such as multicultural art education and visual culture art education etc on the basis of paradigm of art education which has been changing according to periods, theoretical background and characteristics, limitation and implication. Chapter III selected art appreciation point of view which is appropriate to field adaptation on the basis of theoretical concepts and characteristics of art appreciation and art criticism and criticism stage of T. Anderson in the social and cultural point of view and E. Feldman which has been applying in class generally. Chapter IV compared changed background and direction, and external contents system of 2007 revised and 2009 revised art curriculum, and considered aesthetic sensibility and creative expression activities and critical ability which are essential achievement element of art subject as well as reconsider limitation and implications when art curriculum would be adapted into actual field. Chapter V investigated the direction to compile, evaluation standard and precautions of government-recognized textbook to analyze middle school art government-recognized textbook which was revised in 2013. Chapter VI is the chapter to compare and analyze appreciation domains of 10 kinds of art government-recognized books, three kinds of textbooks which have different points of view to compile was chosen and learning contents were analyzed. And to analyze present government-recognized textbooks selected art works in various cultural areas evenly, proportion of plates of 10 kinds were analyzed per nation, period, mode and technique of expression, and through accumulative proportion analysis per works, art works which were suggested the most by 10 kinds of textbooks. Lastly, through critical standard and types suggested by each textbook, it was analyzed that it would be appropriate for the social and cultural point of view that art curriculum pursues. On the basis of this, the results analyzed by focusing on appreciation domain of art government-recognized textbook of 2009 revised curriculum published in 2013 are as follows: As results to analyze learning goals and contents in unit of appreciation domain of three kinds among 10 kinds of revised art textbooks, it was possible to know that each textbook has different point of view to compile likewise suggesting various art critical activities or organic approach between appreciation and expression domains or art history comprehension etc, it is judged that it was according to the phenomenon to compose learning contents freely in accordance with adaption of ‘government-recognized system’ of curriculum books. As for the most crucial point of view applied by 10 kinds of textbooks, it was covered the social cultural critical point of view and iconology analytical critical point of view mainly by focusing on comparative appreciation method. In addition, textbooks applied critical type stage were total three kinds and two kinds of textbooks suggested critical discourse of Feldman and it seems that one kind of textbook reconstructed by mixing critical type of Anderson considered social and cultural context and critical stage of Feldman. Likewise, it was possible to know the direction of art education which has been changing such as suggesting learning contents by applying comparative appreciation method and social and cultural critical stage by accepting multicultural point of view and treating appreciation domain significantly as middle school art government-recognized textbooks were according to that art curriculum pursues to cultivate critical ability. Lastly, according to the results to analyze plates of art government- recognized textbooks, the improvement of art textbooks would be suggested as follows: As results to analyze plates of 10 kinds of textbooks, it was appeared that it was focused on Korean and Western works, so it is hard to see that art works in various cultural areas were covered evenly. From now on, art works in various cultural areas would be suggested evenly it is judged that organic, integrated thematic approach to comprehend characteristics and influencing relationship between different cultural areas rather than chronicle list would be effective. Furthermore, though the importance of media literacy according to the development of image medium has suggested but according to the results to analyze current status of importance per technique of expression, it was appeared that image appreciation education has been covered carelessly. Therefore, it should be added composition of contents to cultivate media literacy required as essential capability in actual life of learners as well as traditional art works of various cultural areas. From now on, through art appreciation class, it is expected to instruct class to create new value and meaningful class to help actual life of learners as well as value of traditional art culture.
