The purpose of this study is to investigate the development of scientific conceptual understanding through a process-centered assessment that visualizes the process of scientific argumentation. In this study, 353 high school students and five teachers participated in the scientific argumentation. As a result of analyzing students' utterances on the elements of argumentation, scientific concepts in intragroup were embodied through query and clarification of meaning, and organized through agreement and rebuttal. In intergroup argumentation, scientific concepts were elaborated through query, clarification of meaning, and change of claim. Teachers were able to understand the process of argumentation through small-group activity sheets where the process was visualized, thereby providing feedback and improving the class. Based on the results, the scientific argumentation of visualizing the process was found not only to allow students to perform self-assessment and peer-assessment but also to help teachers understand the argumentation process. The findings of this study guide process-centered assessment in the science curriculum and are expected to contribute to the promotion of scientific argumentation in classrooms.

This study examines the scientific concept development of young children in terms of the day-night cycle. The subjects consisted of 180 three-, four-, and five-year-old children from two kindergartens and one children's center located in Seoul and Jeju. Individual interviews were conducted to collect verbal and pictorial responses on the day-night cycle. The scientific concepts on the day-night cycle are classified five stages including : no recognition, egocentric concept, initial mental models, synthetic mental models, and scientific mental models. Using two-way ANOVA, scores for the types of concept on the day-night cycles were then analyzed according to both the ages and genders of the children. The results reveal the existence of significant differences in terms of the types of concept of young children according to age. Most three-year-olds children had no recognition. Most three, four, and five-year-old children revealed egocentric concepts. Four-year-old children revealed that were in the initial stages of experiencing the mental models and synthetic mental models of the day-night cycle. Five-year-old children revealed that they were in the early stages of experiencing the initial, synthetic, scientific mental models of the day-night cycle. The results suggest appropriate ways of science education for young children based on the development of scientific concepts of the day-night cycle.

컴퓨터와 정보통신 기술은 하루가 다르게 발달하고 있지만, 정보사회를 살아가는 데 필요한 시대정신은 갖추지 못하여 이로 인한 부정적인 현상은 점점 그 심각성을 더해가고 있다. 최근 교육기관과 사회 공공 기관에서 역기능의 심각성을 인식하고 정보통신윤리교육을 실시하기는 하지만, 정보과학영재를 위한 정보 통신윤리교육은 거의 연구가 진행되고 있지 않다. 정보사회에서 국가적으로 매우 중요한 인재인 정보과학영재들에 대한 체계적인 정보통신윤리교육이 없다는 것은 매우 위험한 일이다. 교육은 대상자의 수준에 맞게 이루어져야 할 것이다. 따라서 정보과학영재들에게는 그들에게 맞는 정보통신윤리교육이 필요할 것이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 인식하여 본 논문에서는 정보과학영재의 개념을 살펴보고, 정보통신 윤리의 개념과 성격, 정보통신 교육의 기본원칙을 이론적 배경으로 하고 초등 정보과학영재들의 인터넷 이용실태를 분석해본 후 초등 정보과학 영재들을 위한 정보통신윤리교육방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate elementary school students' conceptions about the energy represented in the integrated theme 'Energy and life' of the 2015 revised science curriculum. The instruments were developed to grasp students' understanding about 'the concepts of energy,' 'forms of energy,' 'conversion of energy,' and 'energy use of plants and animals.' The surveys were conducted on 92 elementary school students in Seoul. The students' answers were analyzed by descriptive statistics, clouds and semantic network analysis. The results are as follows: 'Electricity' and 'electric energy' were most frequently mentioned as the associated concepts to energy and forms of energy, respectively. Also, the daily use of energy was mixed to the use in science. According to conceptual hierarchy, understanding of energy conversion was dependent on the understanding of energy forms. Although students have basic concepts about the energy use of plants and animals, they had some misconceptions and lack of understanding. The educational implications were discussed to teach 'Energy and Life' as integrated theme in new elementary school curriculum.

과학이나 공학의 발달은 측정기술과 밀접하게 연결되어 있다. 정량적으로 정밀하게 측정된 물리양은 그 물리적현상에 대한 보다 정확한 모델을 유도하고, 이로부터 보다 우수한 측정방법이 개발되고 있다. 때로는 측정기술의 발달은 새로운 이론과 개념을 요구하여 우리의 상식마저 수정하게 된다. 이 펄스를 압축하여 얻은 8femto초광펄스는 지금까지는 접근할 수 없었던 매우 짧은 시간에 일어나는 물리, 화학적인 현상을 측정하고 규명할 수 있는 장을 열었다. 또 극초단 광펄스는 공학적으로는 초고속 광통신과 광신호처리, 초고속 전자소자의 특성 측정등에도 널리 응용되고 있다. 본고에서는 여러가지 극초단 광펄스의 생성원리와 이의 응용에 관해서 검토하고자 한다.

1. 1900년대 초기에는 조리 과학의 기초 개념으로 표준 recipe의 작성이 시도되었다. 2. 비타민과 무기질이 필수 영양소로 밝혀지면서 각종 식품 내의 영양가 분석이 광범위하게 이루어졌으며 과학 기술이 발달함에 따라 새로운 분석 기기의 도입으로 미량 원소의 분석도 가능하게 되었다. 3. 1950년대 후반부터 식품의 관능적 품질 요소를 평가하는대 Panel들의 오관을 이용한 관능 검사법이 이용되어 왔으며, 평가 방법이 점차 발달되어 IFT에서 1981년에 실험 목적에 따라 표준화된 관능조사 방법을 발표한 바 있다. 4. 식품의 품질 평가시 기계적 측정을 실시함으로써 객관적인 결과를 얻게 되었으며, 현재는 이를 관능 검사 결과와 관련시키고 있다. 5. 1970년대 이후 조리 과학적 측면에서의 식품 연구 경향을 J. Food Sci.와 Home Economics Research J.을 통하여 검토한 결과, 육류에 대한 연구가 가장 많았고, 영양가, 맛, tenderness가 주요 관점이었다. 그 다음으로는 두류와 곡류에 대한 연구가 많았으며 기타 식품에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이었다. 6. 미국에서 대두에 관한 연구는 동양에서의 이용방법을 직수입하지 않고 서구식 식생활에 맞게 발전시켰다. 이에는 textured vegetable protein등과 같이 육류 대체 식품으로서의 이용 가능성과 두류 단백질의 식품학적 기능성을 이용하여 첨가시 식품의 품질을 향상시키고자 하는 관점에서 연구가 진행되고 있으며 앞으로도 많은 관심을 받게 될 것으로 전망된다.

The Korean education curriculum is making efforts to improve education to foster competencies that the future society demands through the 2007 and 2009 revised curriculum. The revised curricula focus on enhanced articulation for the quality curriculum. In this study, the curriculum is analyzed for vertical and horizontal articulation. In addition, the study found a problem in Korea's curriculum through international comparison and sought improvement. Furthermore, the study compared internationally articulation of the concept of photosynthesis, of which the results are as follows. First, our science curriculum focuses on vertical articulation and has relatively neglected the problem of horizontal articulation. To compensate for this problem, curriculum design should introduce aspects of 'nature' and 'environment' and should consider the interests and concerns of students, as countries with high horizontal articulation do. Second, the actual education field has a problem with the a lack of continuity and sequence because of concentration of concept in a specific grade or simply repeating the concept across multiple grades. These results have led to alternative proposals that should arrange basis of concept configuration such as 'Big Idea' and should establish the adoption of 'systems' frequently appearing in the other curricula. Finally, there may be mentioned a lack of research on students' learning progression, which can be a common standard of horizontal and vertical articulation. Research on learning progression has been a trend overseas, but there exists no study to fit Korea's situation, so education fields need to conduct the appropriate research on learning progression as part of the commitment to high-quality curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to develop program that take a genuine interest in science and motivate students to keep up their study for science gifted children of start period. In this study, we develop and apply the program about sinking and floating for elementary science gifted students, and analyse degree of conceptual change. Students' prior knowledge is analysed for developing the program, and each step is settled about concept of density and buoyancy. Conceptests are arranged into step by step, and we apply the program to 26 science gifted students of 6th grade elementary school. We compare a percentage of correct answers of pre-test and post-test and evaluate Hake gain for analysis of degree of conceptual change. As a result, science gifted students' concepts are changed effectively into scientific concepts by program based on peer instruction for gifted students of start period. And they evaluate the program is novel and useful, also they can be motivated by the program.
