The purpose of this study was to investigate the suitability of elective of the 2009 revised high school science curriculum. This study surveyed 911 students in 126 high schools by using proportionate stratified sampling. Each participating students carried out the on-line survey comprising 13 items about personal and academic suitability. The result of analyzing the response of the questionnaire were as follows. First, there were deviation of study-load, depth, difficulty, etc. between science elective I and II. Second, even though 'science' subject was developed as a subject for improving scientific literacy, it was found that it was considered difficult next to Physics I. Besides, it showed 'science' subject could not function properly to improve the ability to communicate. According to the results of analyzing the degree of interest in science elective, it can not be determined 'no interest in subject' is from the reason of difficulty or large amount of contents to memorize. The results of this study will be useful to provide suggestions for the improvement of next high school science curriculum and textbooks.

This study was to examine the concepts using to explain evaporation and boiling in secondary school science textbooks developed in 6th and 7th science curriculum. The types of explanations were compared with maps represented the concepts relationships divided into middle and high schools, 6th and 7th curriculum, and subjects and chapters to find explanation diversity. The difference of explanations related to evaporation and boiling concepts was found in the school levels and subjects. There were few relationships between the main concepts of evaporation phenomena and those of boiling phenomena.

본 논문에서는 수학교육용 소프트웨어에서 확률적 현상을 경험한 이후 과학 그래프 해석에 있어 확률론적 관점을 도입하여 해석하는 학습자의 관점의 변화를 제시한다. 이 연구에서 11명의 고등학교 1학년 학생은 수학교육용 소프트웨어인 지오지브라(GeoGebra)를 활용하여 학습자가 평면 상에서 수직선이나 반원 위에 점을 찍는 활동을 통하여 기하학적 확률을 경험하였으며 이와 같은 경험을 토대로 물의 상평형 그래프를 해석하였다. 물의 상평형 그래프에 나타나는 얼음(고체), 물(액체), 수증기(기체)의 상태 변화에 대하여 각 상태가 나타나는 온도-압력의 영역 간의 경계에 대하여 학습자는 기하학적 확률을 적용하여 해석하려고 하였으나 경계선 위의 온도-압력의 물의 미시적 구조를 표현하는 과정에서 4명의 학생만 확률론적 관점으로 해석하고 그렇지 못한 학생들은 상태의 공존을 물질적 관점이나 과정적 관점으로 이해하였다.
