A study on the look of containing classical textsin the highschool Korean textbooks Heu Wang-wook This article aims to check a look of containing classical texts in the Korean textbooks which are developed according to 2007 national curriculum, and passed through the text screening process. In this study, I tried to clarify problems of teaching materials and main works selected in the Korean textbooks, and suggest desirable mode of textbook. Through this research process, I read sixteen Korean textbooks, with quantitative and qualitative evaluation. In the quantitative evaluation, I saw proportion and emerging frequency of classical texts in the textbooks. And in the qualitative evaluation, I examined whether or not classical texts meet ‘system of teaching contents’ and ‘achieving standard in the textbooks’. I also considered a ‘writing criterion’, ‘examples of elements of teaching contents’, and ‘level & range of works’ etc. I drew a conclusion like these. 1) A proportion and emerging frequency of classical texts got lower as compared with the textbooks of last curriculum. 2)A phenomenon of concentrating to special works is maintained concretely. 3) Textbooks didn’t exhibit meaningful learning activities variously with regard to classical texts. To solve these problems, textbook writers will not follow preceding textbooks, but seek meaningful teaching materials and classical texts with new standpoint. Furthermore, they should conduct a reconstructing canon to elevate students’ abilities as not only a good appreciator but also a expressive creator through learning classical texts.
