In this study, the contents of 'electric current' and 'battery' units in elementary and middle school science textbooks were analyzed on the basis of particle and energy concepts. Many problems, reported previously on students' misconceptions about those area, were found in science textbooks. Electric current and battery were covered in both physics and chemistry parts of science textbooks. However, the lack of particle concept in physics units and the lack of energy concept in chemistry units seemed to make it difficult for students to learn those concepts. The descriptions about the two concepts were also not consistent even in the same discipline units. In order to solve these problems, the integration of the views on the particulate nature of matter and energy in the science curriculum and reconstruction of science textbooks were needed.

Although the study of citation patterns is an important theme within the sociology of science, due to the fact that it is intimately related to the production, reproduction, and evaluation of knowledge, only sustained theoretical research outlining the differences of citation patterns between the hard and soft sciences has been conducted, and empirical studies nevertheless remain few and far between. The perspectives of institutionalism and constructivism have to attempted to explain different citation patterns between the hard and soft sciences as a contrast between 'what one says' and 'who one is'. Therefore, against this background this study examines the 'theoretical' controversy empirically by comparing the contrasting citation patterns of physics, as a representative of hard science, and sociology, as a representative of soft science. The results, in brief, are as follows: the citaton patterns in physics, as in sociology, vary according to the author's status within the hierarchical employment structure, i. e. whether s/he is a full-time lecturer or not, but diversity of citation patterns according to Ph. D. diploma area is unique to sociology. These results would suggest that the explanation of constructivism is more relevant in explaining variance according to the author's status in the employment hierarchy, but the approach of institutionalism is more appropriate to understanding variance due to Ph. D. diploma area. Furthermore, this implies the complex diversity of the citation patterns between the hard and soft sciences, pointing us to the more qualified conclusion that rather than having to choose between institutionalism and constructivism according to a mutually exclusive either/or logic, these two approaches can in fact be mutually complementary, and these approaches should also be applied piecemeal to different levels of phenomena. In conclusion, this comparative research enables us to assert the following two claims: firstly that physics, as a 'science in society', produces knowledge dependent on social context, and secondly that it also possesses a characteristic that transcends locality from the view of a sociology of knowledge.

chaos이론은 현재 사회과학과 자연과학의 많은 분야에 있어서 연구 수단 또는 연구 대상으로서의 폭발적인 인기를 누리고 있다. 열 . 유체역학, 동력학, 구조역학, 화학(화학 분야에 있어서의 chaos개념은 Prigogine(1978년Nobel상 수상자)과 Stengers의 저서에 잘 기술되어 있음), 플라즈마 물리학, 전자공학, 전기공학 등 우리들에게 친숙한 학문은 말할 것 없고, 의학, 생태학, 생물학, 인구학, 경제학, 회계학 등에서도 종래의 것과는 완전히 다른 시각에서 현상을 분석하고 예측하 려는 노력을 하고 있다. 그리고 최근에는 computer graphics 에서도 간단한 수식 모델로 fractal set를 형성시켜, 각종 나무, 꽃, 파도, 구름등 자연의 산물들을 성공적으로 묘사하고 있다. Gleick는 chaos이론에 의한 각 분야에 있어서의 새로운 현상을 Newton-Einstein 이후의 또 다른 과학 혁명이라 부르고 있다. 그리고, 지금까지의 서양 학문이 줄곧 세부화의 길을 달려 왔으나 chaos에 의해 그 과정이 역으로 될 것이라는 인식이 일고 있다. 이는 chaos의 질서의 법칙이 보편타당성(universality)의 일면을 갖고 있다는데 기인되며, 종합화를 지향하는 동양의 제반 학 문과 그 성격상 일맥상통한 점이 있어, chaos학이 동양인의 기호 학문이 되리라 믿는다.

본 연구는 점차 종합과학으로 자리잡아가고 있는 동굴학의 특성을 살펴보고, 우리나라에서 행해진 동굴학의 연구 동향을 살펴보는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 그 연구 결과는 다음과 같다 : 첫째, 동굴은 지형학ㆍ지질학ㆍ 생물학ㆍ 기상학 그리고 화학ㆍ물리학 분야에 이르기까지 관련되고 있는 분야이므로 이들의 종합적인 상호 관련에서 나타난 환경과 특성들의 연구가 동굴학을 종합과학으로 분류한다. 둘째, 총 174편 중 1990년대에 발표된 연구가 107편으로 61.5%의 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 이런 현상은 1991년부터 동굴학회지가 분기별로 출판되면서 논문이 많이 게재되었다는 점, 레저와 관광에 대한 인식이 달라지면서 새로운 관광자원으로서 동굴의 비중이 높아졌기 때문이라 할 수 있다. 셋째, 1990년대에는 환경학 뿐만 아니라 지형학(지질학) 분야와 개발(안전) 및 동굴학과 관광학 분야가 전체 연구 중 10% 이상의 비중을 차지하는 것으로 보아 시간이 지나면서 동굴 연구의 흐름이 지형학을 중심으로 한 자연 연구로부터 관광학과 지역개발을 중심으로 한 인문 연구의 비중이 늘어나는 현상으로 변화하고 있다.

This paper analyzed SCOAP3 journals, which have been evaluated as successful open access models, to understand the characteristics of scholarly communication among domestic researchers in the field of high energy physics (HEP). As research methods, a quantitative analysis using statistics and a network analysis of authors' affiliated institutions and academic journals were conducted to understand collaboration and research activities of domestic researchers in the HEP field. The results of the study revealed that, among the 10 SCOAP3 journals in which Korean researchers participated, the proportion of articles in which Korean authors participated was 8.0% of the total. The proportion of papers with more than 1,000 co-authors per paper was 28.7% of the total. The results of this analysis proved that Korean researchers were actively collaborating in the HEP global network. From the results of the network analysis to understand the cooperative relationship centered on the affiliated organization, the cooperative network could be divided into three clusters: a cluster centered on S universities, a cluster centered on K research institutes that provided researchers a cooperative infrastructure with CERN, and a cluster centered on I research institute. Through the network analysis for research institutes and journals, it was found that JHEP, PRD, and PLB among academic journals were highly participating journals, and universities and researchers were also participating in the writing of open access papers. The results of this study can be used as a basic resource for understanding researchers and building a research information environment in libraries.

Idealization has an important role in the process of learning as well as in physics research. The purpose of this study was to survey students' and science teachers' recognition of the ideal conditions involved in the process of problem solving and of explaining the natural phenomena. The instrument for probing the understanding of the ideal conditions in the domains of force, electricity and heat was administered to general high and science high school students and science teachers. The framework of responses composed of three categories. The first category is "idealized conditions relevant to problem", the second "not relevant idealized conditions", which has more delicate subcategories of general/ irrelevant conditions, simple statement of formula/ law, repeating problems, uncorrect explaining/ describing conditions, and the last "no responses". The results of analysis showed that the majority of the subjects well understood the various ideal conditions, especially for science high school students. But some of them could not differentiate the ideal condition from the general conditions, or they simply repeat the problem situation or the formula. The understanding of idealization is different by the domains of physics. We discovered that the misconceptions about the ideal conditions in various physical phenomena and revealed some interconnection of researches in the fields of misconception and the ideal condition.

When a laser pulse is irradiated on a CNT (Carbon Nanotube) and PDMS (Poly dimethylsiloxane) composite coated on a transparent PMMA (Poly methyl methacrylate) substrate, a strong ultrasonic wave is generated due to the thermoelastic effect. In this paper, the thermoacoustic theory related to the wave generation by the CNT/PDMS composite was established. The waveforms of ultrasonic waves when a laser pulse having a Gaussian waveform is irradiated on the composite with a thickness of $20{\mu}m$ were numerically simulated. From the results, it was confirmed that ultrasonic shock waves can be generated from the CNT/PDMS composite and the waveforms are changed little even if the physical properties of the composite are changed by ${\pm}20%$. It was found that the peak positive and negative pressures increase as the thermal expansion coefficient increases, or as density, heat capacity and sound speed decreased. However, those changes were not so sensitive with thermal conductivity. In addition, the physical properties of the CNT/PDMS composite fabricated in this study were estimated from the comparison of the measurement and simulation results.

The Wiener-Khinchin theorem, which means that the autocorrelation function of a signal corresponds to the power spectrum of the signal, is very important in signal processing, spectroscopy and telecommunications engineering. However, because of needs for some relatively expensive equipments such as a correlator and the signal processing system, its demonstration in most undergraduate class is not easy so far. Recently, digital oscilloscopes whose functions can be replaced foresaid equipments are marketed with development of digital engineering. In this paper, a simple demonstration of the theorem is given by a digital storage oscilloscope and a personal computer with its theoretical background. The reason that deals again with this theorem which has been introduced in 1930 is that it has been not well informed yet to us and theoretical background of the demonstration is directly introduced from its driving process. Through deriving process of the theorem, some extended physical meanings of the impedance, power, power factor, Wiener spectrum, linear system response and, furthermore, basic idea of the Planck's quantization in the black body theory reveal themselves naturally. Hence it can be referred to lectures in general physics, modern physics, spectroscopy and material characterization experiment.

이 논문의 주된 목적은 문헌 분석을 토대로 '예측'에 관한 STS적 이해와 함의를 제공하는 데 있다. 역사와 철학적 측면에서 볼 때 '예측'은 과학기술의 발전과정에 존재해왔다. 과학적 연구방식에서 '예측'과 관찰은 필수적이었고, 물리학, 기상학 등과 같은 분과학문에서도 '예측'은 중요한 역할을 차지했다. 기술의 혁신과정에 있어 미래에 대한 예상과 기대(expectations)에 대한 연구의 중요성은 로젠버그(Rosenberg, 1982)가 일찍이 강조한 바 있으며, 최근에는 STS 연구자들이 이러한 기대의 중요성에 주목하여 이른바 '기대의 사회학'(sociology of expectations)이라는 연구분야를 개척해왔다. 이 분야에서 초창기부터 활동해 온 반 렌트(van Lente, 1993)에 따르면, 기술의 혁신과 발전과정을 이해하기 위한 삼각 축, 즉 인공물(artefacts), 행위자(actors), 어젠다(agenda) 중 어젠다에 해당하는 기대와 전망(expectations and promises)에 관한 연구는 상대적으로 부족했다. 이러한 현실 인식은 우리나라의 STS연구에서 여전히 유효하다. 기술에 대한 기대와 전망은 단순히 '행위자'에 종속된 아이디어 차원이 아니며, '예측' 그 자체가 기술혁신분야에서 중요한 연구대상으로 주목될 필요가 있다. 최근에는 미래를 연구 대상으로 하는 미래학(futures studies) 분야가 형성되어 STS연구와의 접점이 확대하는 중이다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 현실 인식을 바탕으로 과학기술을 구성하는 중요한 요소로서 '예측'에 주목하고, 이러한 '예측'의 STS적 함의와 연구방향을 제시하고자 한다.
