Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the current Status and practical use of technology laboratory at the junior high school in Chungbuk Province in order to give some suggestions on hands-on activities for technology education. First, concerning present actual conditions of technology laboratory, There was a large disparity between the urban and rural schools in the possession of a technology laboratory, as the rate of the schools equipped with the rooms respectively stood at 69.84 percent and 33.38 percent in the urban and rural regions. By the type of foundation, every national school, 86.24 percent of the public schools and 37.50 percent of the private schools were equipped with the technology laboratory. By school size, 35.59 of the schools with fewer than 10 classes, 62.11 percent of the schools with 10 to fewer than 30 classes and 85.71 percent of the schools with 31 classes or more were in possession of the laboratory. Thus, the type of foundation and school size made differences to that. As a result of asking the schools without the laboratory about the reason, as many as 88.52 percent had been equipped with the laboratory in the past but converted them into spaces for another purpose. When the schools that had no such laboratory were asked a question whether they had any plans to install a technology laboratory, just five schools(8.19%) had that plan. Second, as for the practical use of the technology laboratory, for what the rooms were actually used was asked, and most of the schools made use of them as Comprehensive General laboratory. As to the size of the rooms, each of the rooms was as large as a classroom($66m^2$) in 62.12 percent of the schools, and their region, type of foundation and student gender made little significant differences to that. Regarding the time for utilizing the laboratory, the majority of the schools used the laboratory approximately once or twice a year, and their region, type of foundation, student gender and school size made few distinctive differences to that. In terms of budget for practice in the rooms, the largest number of the schools that accounted for 36.36 percent earmarked three thousand won to less than five thousand won per student.
