이 연구는 우리나라 학부모들이 유학 또는 연수형태로 미국에 주거하면서 이루어지는 자녀들의 교육활동관을 파악하여 미래 우리교육의 새로운 교과활동 방법과 교과서 활용, 교수-학습자료 개발 등에 대한 이해를 통해서 교육을 통한 인력자원 육성 프로그램 개발에 새로운 비전을 찾고자 하는데 있다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다.첫째, 미국의 대부분의 초등학교 교사들은 수업활동에서 교과서를 활용한 수업보다는 별도로 재작된 교수-학습 자료를 활용하여 수업을 진행하는 경향이 높았으며 특히 저학년(k-3) 교사들이 고학년 교사보다 자료를 활용한 수업활동이 많은 것으로 나타났다.둘째, 재미 한인 학생들의 교육활동을 교과서 난이도로 분석한 결과 영어(국어), 수학교과 활동이 한국 교육활동보다 쉬웠고, 과학 및 사회교과 교육활동은 한국보다 미국교과활동이 더욱 어려운 것으로 제시되었다이러한 연구결과는 교과서를 편찬할 때 대단원 및 중 단원 중심으로 편찬하고, 소단원은 교사들이 자율적인 지침에 따라 교수-학습 자료를 만들어 활용할 수 있도록 하여야 학생들의 흥미를 진작시킬 수 있는 교수-학습이 될 수 있다는 점을 의미한다.

This study was to examines view of education of children (K-8th grade) residing in america for studying abroad (1-4 years), use of textbook, teaching-learning type of each curriculum. Results of this study are as follows. It was found that most of Korean students had not difficulty in doing home-works of Math, Physical Education, Music and Art at home and school, and the 4th-6th graders had difficulty in doing their home-works of social studies and the 6th-8th graders had difficulty in doing their assignments of science. It was found that parents focused on subject of English (Korean) for their children, followed by Math and Science. Such a phenomenon suggests that why Korean parents send their children to American school is in English education. According to results of analyzing opinions of difficulty between Korean textbooks and American textbooks, Math showed the highest response in 'easy' and Science and Social Studies did in 'difficult'. Teaching method of Physical Education, Music and Art was centered on 'theory + practice] or 'practice' without theory class, and in particular, Computer (Technology) was taught centering around ' practice' more than Physical Education, Music and Art.
