현행 역사교과서 내 한국 고대사 분야에 대한 고고학 관련 서술 검토

Abstract

This paper is about the basic framework and archaeological descriptions of the ancient Korean history in the current history textbook in middle and high school. History textbooks are the most fundamental to history education, and it is necessary to review the descriptions in the field of archaeology at a time when public interest in archaeology is increasing. As a result of examining various history textbooks, it was found that the ancient history section not only fails to properly reflect the results of archaeological surveys and research in Korean historical archaeology, but also contains errors in related descriptions and some visual materials due to the lack of understanding of archaeological materials and the failure to properly reflect the latest research results by the writing team composed of only history majors. Due to the biased composition of writers consisting of only history majors, errors were found in related descriptions and visual materials due to lack of understanding of archaeological materials or lack of understanding of the latest research and research results. The ancient field has limitations only with the study of literature history due to the lack of historical records, so assistance in the field of archaeology dealing with material data is essential. In order to properly implement historical education, close cooperation between archaeology, history, education, and the education sector is necessary. First, the archaeological community should start by communicating with the history community, which is actively participating in the writing of history textbooks, in order to form a consensus, and then strive to improve the descriptions and system of history textbooks in a more desirable direction through cooperation with the education community in the future. In the case of history textbooks currently being written, at least the participation of archaeologists in the review process is essential.
