Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to analyze the Korean language textbook’s illustrations of the special elementary school and provide basic data on illustrations when developing textbooks in the future. Methods Six special elementary Korean language textbooks were collected and a total of 1,668 pages were analyzed. The analysis tool was used by creating a frame with formal aspects(number, type, size, arrangement, clarity) and content aspects(role, suitability, and content consistency). Results First, the number of illustrations contained more than one illustration on each page. Second, paintings were the most common types of illustrations. Third, the 1st and 2nd graders and the 3rd and 4th graders were the most common 1/16-sized illustrations, and the 5th and 6th graders were the most common 2/3-sized illustrations. Fourth, by arrangement, many illustrations were placed below in the 1st and 2nd grades, at the center in the 3rd and 4th grades, and above in the 5th and 6th grades. Fifth, the clarity was very high. Sixth, data provision was the most common role of illustrations. Seventh, in terms of illustration suitability, there were the most essential functions. Eighth, the content consistency was very high. Conclusions It was discussed and suggested to increase the illustrations budget, increase photo illustrations, and improve the quality of illustrations when developing textbooks in the future.
