ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyze disability-related contents in middle- school Korean language textbooks under the revised national curriculum 2007 and to examine whether there are any differences in the disability- related contents among grades and publishers. To do this, 144 textbooks published by 12 publishers were selected and were analyzed through the use of an analysis sheet which consisted of 7 analysis criteria(text type, learning form, type of disability, cause of disability, disability-related topic, relative importance of disabled person, perception on disabled person). Based on the data collected through the analysis sheets, frequencies and case-percentages were calculated for the whole, each grade, and each publisher. The results which were revealed by the calculated frequencies and case-percentages were presented as follows: disability-related contents according to 7 analysis criteria, differences in the disability-related contents among grades for each criterion, and differences in the disability-related contents among publishers for each criterion. Finally, the conclusions of this study were presented along with the points that should be considered in future textbooks and some suggestions were also presented for future related research and tasks.
