國小高年級社會領域教科書時序概念教材之探究

Research on the Chronological Concept of Elementary Social Studies Textbooks of Grade 5-6

本研究主要探究2014年國小高年級社會領域教科書時序概念教材的特色，並提出一些建議，以作為新頒綱要教材研發的參考。研究方法以內容分析法為主。研究發現，教科書使用大量過去日期的詞彙，且以「西元、民國」的數量最多，亦出現不少臺灣歷史分期的詞彙，且頗為一致化。還有，以分期詞彙作為時序架構編寫編年史與發展史。針對新編教材的建議包括：宜教導計算日曆時間，也要從學科觀點教導時序概念的內涵，以及發展史教材宜著重教導主題與外部因素的互動關係，並避免傳遞歷史進步論的意識型態。
