"The purpose of this study was to compare the internal structure of practical arts
textbooks between those as a national common basic curriculum and those as a basic curriculum newly offered under the 2008 Revised Curriculum, and to analyze the degree to which the characteristics of the functional curriculum are implemented in the textbooks of practical arts as a basic curriculum. The results of this analysis are as follows. When the textbooks of practical arts as a national common basic curriculum was compared with those of practical arts as a basic curriculum in terms of contents organization method and contents composition method, the practical arts textbooks of both curricula had similar composition structure. As to contents elements, the textbooks of practical arts as a basic curriculum were composed by selecting basic and elementary ones from the contents elements in the textbooks of practical arts as a national common basic curriculum. In addition, when functional curricular elements in the textbooks of practical arts as a basic curriculum were analyzed, among 6 types of life scenes reflected in the basic curriculum, life scenes of personal and home life were reflected most, and life scenes of school and social life were reflected relatively less. In addition, the three areas of Brolin‐LCCE (daily living functions, personal and social functions, and vocational guidance and preparation) were reflected evenly in the contents, but some skills essential for disabled students were omitted, so they were required to be added.
