Abstract

In this study, we try to examine its features by using the methods of systematic infographics analysis for visualization materials that are used in Physics I textbooks. Thus, after developing the analytical framework infographics, visualization materials is described in the section "information and communication" and have been analyzed separately as "data visualization" and "Infographics." The results of this study are as follows. First, the analysis framework of infographics can be classified contents of the information, visual representation, and media method. Second, the visualization materials that are displayed in the section "information and communication" of Physics I textbook are of higher quality than most schematized data that are graphically, simple information. Third, the features of visualization materials in textbooks have many relations & functions on 'information content', text & metaphor on 'visual element', illustration & comparison on 'expression type', graphic on 'expression mode', printed matter on 'media method', and horizontal & vertical type on 'the flow of attention'. From the analysis results, in the section "information and communication" of Physics I textbook uses a lot of visualization materials, however it does not provide rich infographics but only simple graphical materials. By utilizing the results of the analysis of textbook and analysis framework of infographics, which has been developed through the this study, let us hope that the opportunity to be able to grasp the importance of infographics in science education be provided.

본 연구는 물리 I 교과서에 사용한 시각화 자료들을 인포그래픽 차원의 체계적인 분석방법을 통해 그 특징을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 인포그래픽 분석틀을 개발한 후, '정보와 통신' 단원에 제시된 시각화 자료들을 '데이터 시각화'와 '인포그래픽'으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인포그래픽 분석틀은 정보내용, 시각표현, 매체형식으로 구분된다. 둘째, 물리 I 교과서의 '정보와 통신' 단원에 나타난 시각화 자료들은 정보를 단순 도식화한 자료가 가장 많았다. 셋째, 교과서에 제시된 시각화 자료들의 특징을 '정보내용' 면에서는 관계와 기능에 관련된 내용이, '시각표현 요소' 면에서는 문자나 메타포가, '시각표현 유형' 면에서는 일러스트형과 비교분석형이, '시각표현 방식'은 그래픽이, '매체형식'은 인쇄가, '시선의 흐름'에서는 수평형과 수직형이 많았다. 이상과 같은 분석 결과로부터, 물리 I 교과서의 '정보와 통신' 단원은 시각화 자료를 많이 사용하지만, 단순 도식자료만을 제시할 뿐 풍부한 인포그래픽을 제공하지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이번 연구를 통해 개발한 인포그래픽 분석틀과 교과서 분석 결과를 활용하여 과학교육에서도 인포그래픽의 중요성을 파악할 수 있는 계기가 마련되기를 기대해 본다.
