Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the illustrations presented in the “engine block” unit of the High School Automobile Engine textbook from the 7th curriculum to the 2015 revised curriculum. For this purpose, illustrations of the engine block unit from all automobile engine textbooks published thus far were analyzed. The results of the study are as follows. First, from the 7th curriculum to the 2015 revised curriculum, the overall illustrations presented in the engine block units were analyzed by type, and illustrations of the picture-explanatory diagrams were the most frequently presented. Second, after analyzing the types of illustrations by curriculum, picture-explanatory diagrams had the highest number of illustrations. In particular, the 2009 revised curriculum textbooks had the most illustrations of the photo-explanatory diagrams. Third, based on the analysis results, most illustration numbers were presented in the 7th curriculum textbook, while most illustration numbers were not presented in the 2015 revised curriculum textbook. Fourth, as a result of analyzing which topics are the main focus of each curriculum, the 7th curriculum focused on “use of measuring devices” while other curriculums showed no tendency towards a subject.
