本研究旨在探究現行國中七年級到九年級國文教科書中故事體內容，主要採用內容分析法，探討教科書中故事體呈現情形和類目。依97 課程綱要編輯審查之教科書，一百零二年公告之審訂表，比較三個版本(南一、康軒、翰林)中故事課文比例與類別分析。本研究先以「文件分析法」蒐集相關文獻，並擬定生活故事、傳奇故事、史地故事、自然故事做為教科書故事類課文分析的類目。之後再以「內容分析法」分析國語教科書故事類別、在教科書編排中的適當性。 透過研究，所得到的結論如下： 一、三個版本中故事體課文的選文皆偏向生活故事類，故事體課文比例約占國中國文教科書的一半。 三個版本中較缺少傳奇故事類課文，翰林版缺少傳奇故事類課文。 三個版本的教科書自然科學故事類的選文皆兼顧海洋議題。從題材來看，出現類目的多寡依序為生活故事、史地故事、自然科學故事、傳奇故事。
