The collected textbooks were analyzed by subject matter and sub-subject of university textbooks by compared using a taxonomic system analysis. In addition, before and after the 2019 revised Nuri curriculum was compared and analyzed to see if the philosophy of the current curriculum was reflected. The analysis data was analyzed with frequency using the Excel program.
 Results First, the contents of childcare practice university textbooks were “preparation for childcare practice,” “basic contents for childcare practice,” “implementation of childcare practice (6 weeks), ”evaluation of childcare practice,” “follow-up management of childcare practice,” and “other.” Second, in the content of each textbook, the proportion of the content of each textbook was very different. Third, the frequency of content changed before and after the 2019 revised Nuri curriculum.
