Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare characteristics of students lived in volcanic region or not while observing the igneous rocks basalt and granite. For the study we recruited 68 fifth-grade students in Jeju Island, 29 fifthgrade students in Ulleung Island and 61 fifth-grade students in inland area area. This study was conducted as follows: After observing of granite and basalt, the students wrote observations. At the end of observation they also wrote all knowledges about granite and basalt except for the observations. The results are as follows: First, igneous rocks observations did not show a statistically significant difference between regional characteristics variables. Second, the amount of knowledge that students knew about granite and basalt except for the observation facts also did not show significant differences. Third, in the results of qualitative analysis for knowledges about granite and basalt except for the observation facts, many students knew about the igneous origin and about the substance but there were few statements that reflected the characteristics of the location. This results will provide a meaningful implication that the science class must consist of the use a various examples associated with a real-life.
