The main purpose of this article is to explain how much national curriculum and textbook publication policy influenced the 7th history textbook contents. The contents of textbooks are influenced by publication policy, authors, national curriculum etc. Middle and highschool Korean history textbooks are published on government-authorized publication system. And middle school social studies textbook and highschool Korean modern and contemporary history textbook and world history textbook are published on official approval system.
In government-authorized publication system, Korean history textbooks of elementary, middle and highschool are influenced by national curriculum differently. But there are a good few of differences of organizing units among government-authorized korean history textbooks because of not being restricted by government-authorized system to the same extent. We, therefore, reexamine basic problems concerning the interrelation between legal regulation of national curriculum and history textbook writer's autonomy.
There are some differences among official approved history textbooks, too. This fact shows un the possibility of publishing history textbooks from various point of view. But all of approved history textbook are stronger regulated than elementary 6th grade government-authorized social studies textbook by 7th national curriculum. In particular, while government-authorized Korean history textbooks apply advancing learning contents in national curriculum to themselves flexibly and selectively, official approved history textbook accepted contents of national curriculum as it is. This is supposed that whether publishing companie and textbook writers wonder whether passing the process of official approval or not. On the other hand, government-authorized textbook writers, who are free from passing test, didn't acknowledge the appropriateness of advance learning contents in national curriculum.
