The history presented in the textbooks of elementary history has been explained mainly in the figures of political history. These narratives can make students feel like 'I can not do history' or 'A story far from me'. Because students can perceive that history is only a story of great people and heroes, and that it is not related to ordinary people. But history is the manifestation of the lives of so many people at that time. However, it is not showing in the textbook. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehend complementarily the missing history in textbooks.
One way to do this is to use museum artifacts. The relic is a living record containing many things such as people's thoughts, form and effort. However, simply observing artifacts does not mean that we can find many stories contained in it. Therefore, a specific method of learning relics is needed to guide students in discovering stories in relics.
In this study, we use the seven relational approach of artifact - based understanding learning model and Hooper Greenhill to plan and plan lessons focusing on the three relics of Seungja chongtong gun, Three barreled gun, and Matchlock gun.
Based on the artifact - based understanding learning model of Lim Ki - hwan and Kim Ok - jin, the researcher planned the five steps of learning, observation, reasoning, information expansion, contextualization and re - viewing. Level 1 is a process that creates a link between students and artifacts. The second step is to get as much information as possible from the artifacts. To do this, I tried to trace the remains and answer the questions. In the third stage inference, it is to understand the information that can be known through the museum description label in relation to the relic. Read the museum's descriptive label carefully and answer questions from teachers and friends. In the fourth stage information extension, additional information of the tutorial presented by the teacher is confirmed, and the understanding of the artifacts is broadened. In the contextual comprehension and re - viewing, we compare and compare the context and meaning of the relics of the relics through the comparison of relics.
In the meantime, there are few studies using museum artifacts for the purpose of supplementing textbooks. In addition, research on the use of museum artifacts has been conducted for the purpose of understanding the life of people at the time through objects such as relics related to the Neolithic Age, ceramics, costumes, and paintings.
This researcher used Seungja chongtong gun, Three barreled gun, and Matchlock gun which are war weapons under the theme of war, to help the students to understand the changes of postwar Korea through efforts for the development of new weapons during the Japanese invasion of Korea As a whole. In order to apply these museum learning models The National Museum of Korea The Chosun Dynasty and the Imperial Palace of Korea During the 16th century.
This study gives the following suggestions.
First, a concrete methodology for complementary understanding of textbooks using museum artifacts is presented considering the level of elementary school students.
Secondly, we have organized the program with relics such as Seungja chongtong gun, Three barreled gun, and Matchlock gun.
Third, the post-war Chosun efforts to develop new weapons were taught, and students were allowed to access a wider historical understanding of war.
In this way, students are able to learn the history that is missing through artifacts.
