초등학교 저학년 통합교과 교과서 분석 연구:신체활동을 중심으로 = An Analysis of Integrated Textbooks for Lower Grades in Elementary School: Focusing on Physical Activities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to analyze integrated textbooks for lower grades in elementary school, based on the 2022 revised national curriculum, with a focus on physical activities, in order to derive implications for strengthening physical activity in the early grades. For this purpose, contents related to play, health, and safety were examined from a total of 16 textbooks—eight for Grade 1 and eight for Grade 2. The results are as follows. First, 82% of the play activities overlapped with those in PE for Grades 3–6, and the content distribution was unbalanced: 19.5% in the movement domain, 67.0% in the sports domain, and 13.5% in the expression domain. Second, the domains and core ideas of the lower-grade integrated curriculum were not systematically reflected in the textbooks. Third, from the perspective of fundamental movement skills (FMS), the contents consisted of 22.6% non-locomotor, 59.4% locomotor, and 18.0% manipulative movements, revealing an overemphasis on locomotor and a lack of manipulative skills. Fourth, physical activities were mainly illustrated without sufficient guidance on rules and safety, and health and safety contents were addressed separately from play. Based on these findings, this study discusses the need for movement learning and exploration in the lower grades, the development of a coherent and sequential PE curriculum across grade levels, fostering movement literacy through FMS, and the adoption of season-based integrated textbook structures supported by a review system.
