Abstract
The major aim of this study is to clarify multiple educational purposes in animation-related teaching materials in art education, and to construct a conceptual model that helps practitioners to understand them structurally. Previous research conducted content analysis of animation teaching materials in textbooks of art in primary and secondary education as of 2019 and constructed a two-layered conceptual model consisting of a layer with the purpose of learning animation and a layer with the purpose of using animation to learn another subject. This study conducts historical transition analysis using 120 animation teaching materials in textbooks from the 1950s through the 2010s. The results show which kinds of purposes were emphasized according to time period and how that emphasis changed, and also demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the two-layered model as a tool for teaching material analysis.
