Analysis of Graph Types and Characteristics in Korean Science Textbooks

Abstract

In this study, we investigated graph types and characteristics used in Korean science textbooks. For this purpose, we find the graphs and analysed the graph types in the 16 science textbooks. As the results, we found the more graphs in the higher grade. And 'earth science' used the more graph than others. Line graph and contour map was the most widely used graph type in science textbook and simple line graph was the most used graph in the line graph.
