초록

This study set out to analyze the characteristics of the review process for the authorization of history textbooks during the period of the ‘Course of Study’. The main findings of this study are as follows: First, the review procedure for the authorization of textbooks was conducted annually from 1946 to 1952. The main purpose of the review process up to 1948 was to approve existing textbooks that had been in use in school. Most of the textbooks that were published after 1949 were subject to the newly introduced pass/fail criteria of the review process. Second, the laws that regulated the status and role of textbooks were preceded by administrative measures, which prohibited pro-Japanese or left-wing writers from writing textbooks. Third, the review procedure for the authorization of textbooks were conducted on the basis of the social studies syllabus, which was implemented earlier on. Textbooks that did not meet the criteria for the authorization standards, that is, observance of the curriculum, was not able to pass the review process. Fourth, the first authorized history textbooks for secondary school on the basis of the social studies syllabus were published in 1949. It was followed by a series of review procedures in which textbooks under the approval system were asked to renew their license and extend the period of use.
