Those who worry about problems of history education regard consistently textbook as a very important thing. However we can not solve problems of education only by good text book making. On the contrary we reexamine and change the cognition concerning the view of textbook and the direction of compilation and the way of application.
The policy of textbook compilation is very important. By investigating the policy of textbook compilation, we know who possess the authority of education.
This paper examines problems of the system for Korean history text book complication, and proposes open textbook publication system as an unique alternative plan. Especially convinces that open textbook publication system is needed necessarily for overcoming serious uniformity of Korean history textbook accompanied by textbook state publication system.
For accomplishing history education normally, autonomy and ownership of teacher and student as the main body of history instruction must be guaranteed. And also for promoting autonomy of the whole education system, we must establish democratic order of education.
Autonomy and freedom bring independence and ownership. And only on that basis progress and development are possible as it is. Moreover under the condition with favorable competition, confidence and trust with each other mature, the tradition of coexistence and harmony can be planted firmly.
On the other hand we all keeps in mind always the fact that to settle open publication system of Korean history normally, the structure which teachers who prepare history instruction and receive the training for history teacher charge history instruction, must be constructed.
In order to complete above works, the peculiarity of history education in curricula system must be insured. At the same time we shall prepare rational system for social certification of Korean history textbook, and estimate fairly and transparently, and next open publicly the result which classify and grade textbook. Then teacher and student and parents inspect that result, and can choose hopeful textbook. But the purpose to make that is not for judging pass or not, but only for serving the comprehension and the choice and the improvement of textbook.
