다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: articulation is defined as appropriate relation between the educational contents of each grade or school. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the articulation between the contents of the textbook of the Korean language of the 7th curricula in the middle school. Materials and Methods: The materials in this study were the Korean language textbooks and teacher`s guidebook of 1st to 3rd graders of the middle school. For the analysis of articulation of the textbook contents, knowledge areas of the Korean language were divided into four criteria; 1) the essence of the Korean language, 2) understanding and exploring Korean language, 3) attitude, 4) rules and applications. Flow charts were created for the analysis of the articulation in the contents of the above criteria. To facilitate visual understanding, articulation maps were created on the basis of the flow charts. The degree of the articulation was presented as the common area between the educational contents on the articulation map. Results: The best articulation of the contents within the grade and between the grades was observed in the phonology section in the criterion of the understanding and research of the Korean language. In the criterion of the attitude toward the Korean language, the articulation between the contents of each grade was excellent. However, intragrade articulation was not adequate because classification of the contents in the 6th chapter of the 1st semester of the 9th grader was (the differences between the language in the South and North Korea) not appropriate. The worst intragrade and intergrade articulation in the contents was observed in the section of vocabulary and meaning in the criterion of understanding and exploring the Korean language. Conclusions: The degree of articulation in the contents of the area of knowledge of the Korean language textbooks of the middle school in the 7th curricula varied.
