【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this study was to investigate the inscription of North Korean Higher-Level Middle School 1chemistry textbooks in the era of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to understand North Korean chemistry education. Thetypes and functions of inscription for each unit of the North Korean Higher-Level Middle School 1 Chemistry textbookwere analyzed and compared with the inscription of the ‘Chemistry I’ textbook in South Korea. Inscriptions were analyzedby constructing an analysis frame based on previous studies. The analysis results were as follows. First, as for the types ofinscription used in North Korean textbooks, photographs and illustrations were used the most, and graphs were used theleast. Second, the functions of inscription used in North Korean textbooks had many exploratory and exemplary functions,and decorative functions were used the least. Third, there was no significant difference in type and function of textbookinscriptions from North and South Korea. The results of this study may be helpful in understanding North Korean chemistry education.
