남한과 북한의 고등학교 1학년 수학 교과서 비교

Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the exchanges and cooperations in the field of mathematics education between South Korea and North Korea. In this study, we compared and analyzed South and North Korean high school first-year mathematics textbooks based on the 2015 Mathematics Curriculum of South Korea and the 2013 Mathematics Gyosuyogang(Curriculum) of North Korea. The comparative analysis of the textbooks in this study was done in terms of the distribution of content areas and units, and the components and contents of units. As a result of comparing the distribution of content areas, the textbooks of South and North Korea differ in the proportion of each area, but they include all five content areas such as numbers and operations, letters and expressions, geometry, functions, probability and statistics. In the aspect of compositions of the unit, the textbooks of South and North Korea commonly contain the components playing similar roles. However, in most unit components, South Korean textbook contains more tasks and materials than North Korean textbooks, with using a wider range of materials and presenting in more depth.
