고등학교 한국지리의 식생,임업 단원 내용 분석 = The Analysis on the Content of High School Geography Textbook, with Special Reference to the Vegetation and Forestry Chapter

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This work aims to understand the problems of content and description in the High Korean Geography Textbooks, with special reference to the chapters of Korean vegetation and forestry. Each textbook from 1st to 6th curriculums has selected to examine the changes in contents of the vegetation and forestry chapters. The results and suggestions obtained are as follow. Vegetation zone had been divided into cool temperate, temperate, and warm temperate forests until 5th curriculum. And then, in 6th curriculum, it was divided into cold, temperate, and warm temperate forests. In agriculture textbooks of the same curriculum period, however, forest has divided into arctic, temperate and warm temperate forests. Twelve geography textbooks in 6th curriculum period still suggest different vegetation zone and geographical ranges of plants with economic value, and often include the wrong information. Concerning the typical tree species of each forest zone, each textbook still suggests different examples. Therefore, confusions on the forest division and species range are still remains. To avoid such confusion in the forest zonations, climate and vegetation zonations need to be differentiated. Overall, materials from accurate vegetation informations need to be provided more consistently to avoid further confusion.
