As a result, the volume of each part in clothing & textiles section was investigated. Among them ‘dressing’ part was found to make up the largest percentage of the clothing unit. And among the six of the detailed contents, “How to Wear Traditional Korean Clothes” and “Functions of Clothes”, took up the largest space. In additions, the types of students activities and methods of implementing and how to performing tasks vary depending on publishing companies and detailed contents of areas.
