다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, the history of science (HOS) presented at the chapter of Inquiry of science in high school science textbooks developed under the 6th and 7th national curriculam was analyzed and compared. A total of 57 sections from 19 textbooks (6th: 12 textbooks, 7th: 7 textbooks) were analyzed in terms of the domain and the presentation level of the HOS described. The results revealed that the frequencies of HOS per page of the textbooks under the 7th curriculum tended to be higher than those under the 6th one in all the domains (conceptual, procedural, and contextual), of which the difference in conceptual domain was statistically different. Regarding the describing level (limited and extensive) at the presentation of the HOS, the frequencies of extensive descriptions per page for the textbooks under the 7th curriculum were also significantly higher than those under the 6th one. The improvement of frequencies and presentation level of HOS in 7th national curriculum could help students to understand scientific concept and nature of science and to have an interest about science.
