In this paper, we analyze the influence of mathematics teaching-learning for high level math problems of A-type of mathematics section on the College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT). To analyze the influence, we compare and analyze units and field of questions set at examinations based on the rate of wrong answers in A-type mathematics test of the CSAT from 2012 to 2016. Also, we study the recognition of academic high school students and teachers about units and fields on math which need to allow more time to improve grade for A-type of mathematics section on the CSAT. We found following facts. First, high level math problems determining rank of high rank students on the CSAT was taken mostly from the unit related a exponential function and a logarithmic function. Second, these problems need more time for a calculation rather than an ability for students to deepen their understanding of the concept and quality of education. Third, high rank students spend a lot of time to study more important units and fields of mathematics on the CSAT such as a exponential function and a logarithmic function, and teachers spend a lot of time to teach them.

Wassily Leontief가 미국 경제의 모델에 선형 대수를 적용한 이론으로 1973년에 노벨 경제학상을 받은 후로는 인문${\cdot}$사회 과학(특히 상경(商經) 분야)을 전공하는 사람에게도 선형 대수는 큰 관심 분야가 되었다. 그래서 1980년대 부터는 대학의 기초 과목으로써 선형 대수를 가르치는 것은 유행처럼 퍼졌고 또 가르침에 관한 연구도 활발하여졌다. 현행 우리나라의 초${\cdot}$중${\cdot}$고등 학교의 수학과 교육과정(이른바 “제 7차 개정”) 속에는 선형대수의 내용이 어느 정도 있으나 학생들에게 확실한 개념을 갖도록 가르치고 있지 않다. 수직선, 순서 쌍, n-겹수, 직교 좌표, 벡터 등 해석기하적인 내용과 선형 방정식계의 풀이법(가우스${\cdot}$조르단 소거법을 쓰지 않는 풀이법) 등 일반 대수적인 내용은 다루지만 선형 변환, 벡터 공간의 구조 등은 다루지 않는다. m${\sim}$n 행렬은 수학II에 나와 있긴 하나 소개하는 정도에 그친다. 한편 과학 계열 고등학교 학생을 위한 "고급 수학"에는 비교적 많은 양의 선형 대수의 내용이 있다. 일반 계열 고등학교의 수학에서도 선형 대수의 내용을 확장하고 학생들에게 확실한 개념을 갖도록 가르쳐서 이들이 대학에 진학하여 전공 분야에서 아무 어려움이 없도록 하는 것이 바람직하다.

The purpose of this research is to find the identity through the inductive analysis on the curriculum of the industrial high schools in Gyeonggi province. The departments of electricity, electron, and correspondence of the 22 industrial high schools in Gyeonggi province are selected as the subject school of this research. The result of this research is as follows. First, 11 out of 18 industrial schools currently arrange larger completion unit of special curriculum than common one, and 2 out of 4 general high schools do. Second, industrial schools reduced 2-4 units of required subjects of the departments, general high schools did 2 units. 11 out of 18 industrial schools arranged larger student's elective subjects than school's in the completion unit of common curriculum, and 3 out of 4 general high schools did. 31 out of 32 departments of 18 industrial schools arranged larger student's elective subjects than school's in the completion unit of common curriculum. Third, 4 out of 18 industrial schools used the certified textbooks for newly organized subjects. But 25 departments of 15 schools out of 36 departments of 22 schools changed the industrial departments into high-tech ones. Fourth, in the classification of the school curriculum by 3-type curriculum, 12 out of 18 industrial schools adopted employment-centered curriculum, 7 out of 18 schools did foundation-centered curriculum. 2 out of 4 general schools adopted employment-centered curriculum, 2 out of 4 schools did college preparation-centered curriculum. Therefore, Schools are estimated to have much effort to find their identities through the arrangement of school curriculum.

The purpose of the present study is to analyze the trajectory of science core school students' STEM career motivation and to examine the relationship between the trajectory patterns and students' tracks. Longitudinal STEM career motivation data with seven constructs were collected from 256 students for five semesters and the data were analyzed by using group-based trajectory modelling analysis. In order to examine the relationship between trajectory pattern groups and the tracks, chi-square tests were conducted. Based on our findings, we found that students are likely to have similar trajectory patterns in STEM career education experience and in their perception towards STEM career value. In terms of parents' support, academic self-efficacy and STEM career motivation aspects are divided into two distinctive trajectory groups ('high' and 'low' group), while two other variables, STEM career self-efficacy and STEM career interest, are divided into three trajectory groups ('moderate declining', 'high declining', 'increasing' group). Most of the trajectory groups are shown the pattern that the level of each constructs increase until their second academic year, then after that, the patterns started going down. Moreover, there are significant relationship between track and each trajectory groups. Science track and science-core track students have similar trajectory patterns. In contrast, humanities track students have different trajectory groups in some constructs. Based on these findings, we suggest that STEM career education environment should consider various patterns of students' STEM career development.

The Purpose of this research is to investigate how Project Based Learning(PBL) cognitive department and among the learner and instructor in the industrial highschool. Theoretical framework for the study is based on PBL, collaborative learning and module learning. The importance of the PBL has been continuously reviewed by many educational researchers. In addition, it was supported by previous research results. Based on theoretical frameworks and previous researches on the PBL provided design principles and method for learning in the industrial highschool. As a result of this study, we have developed and applied to investigate (1) differences between the types of departments(agriculture, industry, commerce) of cognition on learner's and instructor's task solving process, (2) correlation between the type of groups(learner, instructor) and type of departments(agriculture, industry, commerce) cognition on task solving process. The total of 100 learners and 50 instructors from industrial highschool in the study for the period of sixteen weeks. Based on the type of groups and departments, participants were divided into six groups such as learner and instructor of agriculture, industry, commerce department. The result of the study can be summarized as follows: First, in the study, between the types of departments(agriculture, industry, commerce) of cognition on learner's and instructor's task solving process are differences. Second, correlation between the type of groups(learner, instructor) and type of departments(agriculture, industry, commerce) of cognition on task solving process are differences. Although the differences were insignificant for cognition of PBL's help, however, four items(accomplishment, application subject, hereafter application) showed significant differences in performances. The implication of the result indicated the cognition of PBL in the industrial highschool seem significant for departments and subjects characteristic of learning. In future research it is recommended that PBL model designs should consider components of group and department types.

The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students in natural science track and engineering major university students' perceptions about the writing and composition education. A total of 318 high school students in natural science track from two high schools in a metropolitan area and 447 university students majoring in engineering from three universities participated in the survey and asked to response their perceived status and needs of writing education for science-engineering track. The survey instrument, developed by Lee et al.(2009), was used for this study. The data was analyzed through the SPSS 18.0 program for Windows for Multiple Response Frequency Analysis, Descriptive Statistics, Independent Samples t-test, and One-way Analysis of Variance. The results indicated that high school students relatively perceived that writing education was less necessary compared to university students. In addition, high school students found writing less difficult than university students do. In related to studying their experience with writing and composition education, almost no high school students have taken writing classes and university students have taken an average of one class. Most university students who took writing classes took basic writing classes that were not programmed for students in Science and Engineering. In the basic survey to revitalize writing and composition education for Science and Engineering students in different majors, the level of writing and composition education required by students in each major was different. Writing was considered most necessary for students majoring in Chemical Engineering, followed by students majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering. The study of writing and composition education for high school and college should extend to studies on teachers or professors who teach writing, studies on contents and methods of writing education, and studies on the development of writing programs for different majors in university.
