The purposes of National Assessment of Educational Achievement(NAEA) are to assess Korean students' achievement of the educational goals as well as to diagnose the trends of educational achievement in order to monitor the quality of education at the national level. We analysed average scores in science achievement and trend of achievement level at the National Assessment of Educational Achievement(NAEA) from the year 2003 to 2006 for 6th, 9th and 10th graders. The results are as follows: For grades 6, 9, and 10, the average scores of NAEA did not tend to increase or decrease. About the trend analysis of gender, females outperformed males for grade 6, but males outperformed females for grade 10. For grade 6, the ratio of females in Advanced level was more than that of the males in the same level. For grades 9 and 10, the ratio of male was higher than the females. For grades 6, 9 and 10, the ratio of males in Below-Basic level was more than that of females in the same level. The results of the educational achievement of urbanization shows that students in rural area scored the lowest. And the ratio of Below-basic level students was highest in rural area. It is needed that educational surroundings be improved to lessen the score difference both between genders and regions. An additional study is needed to used the results of NAEA for the improvement of curriculum and educational policy.

지식 정보화 사회에서 사회구성원들이 원활히 생활하고 당면한 문제들을 알고리즘적 사고에 바탕에 두고 해결하기 위해서는 컴퓨터교육이 필수적이다. 그러나 현행 초 중등과정에서 컴퓨터 교육과정을 살펴보면, 도구적 관점에서 문맹탈피를 위해 특정한 응용 소프트웨어 사용법을 가르치는 단순한 컴퓨터 소양, 활용교육 중심으로 교육과정이 편성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 미국의 초 중등과정에서 컴퓨터 교육과정 개발에 관련된 기존 연구를 소개하고, 이를 기반으로 초 중등과정에서 컴퓨터과학 교육과정을 새롭게 제시하고자 한다. 이 새로운 교육과정의 특징은 컴퓨터교육을 도구적 관점이 아닌, 컴퓨터과학의 관점에서 소양, 활용, 과학교육을 포괄하도록 구성되어 있다.

The purposes of this study were to inquire the status of academic integrity of the student in mentorship program at a science gifted institute attached to university and to seek the teaching plan of academic integrity. We administered questionnaire to 51 students who passed the enterance exam of mentorship program at the science gifted institute in 2013. The questionnaire consisted of three topics, 1) using reference, 2) purchasing, deputizing & plagiarizing of homework, 3) cooperative learning. As results of survey, students have a ethic in the following order: 'purchasing, deputizing & plagiarizing of homework', 'using reference', and 'cooperative learning'. Especially, the lack of conscious about 'cooperative learning' turned out to be a problem, because students have to research by cooperative learning during mentorship program. And there was no significant correlation between each topic. Finally, there was no correlation between ethical knowledge and degree of practicing it.

This study aims to examine the significance of experience in the secondary science gifted education. The participants of the this study were 7 respondents who were admitted secondary science gifted education program from 2001 to 2004 in Busan. The research data was collected through in-depth interview. This qualitative study applied the phenomenological method of Giorgi. The gifted person experiences of gifted education were clustered into 7 specific themes and 21 general structures for achievements. And they were clustered into 5 specific themes and 11 general structures for careers. It showed positive effects on individual achievements and careers. The result will provide implications for setting the direction of gifted education.

In this study, we seek to improve the quality of education at institutes for science gifted education in universities by analysing the curriculums. Annual reports were analyzed, directors, professors, and students participated in the survey, directors were interviewed. The number of students was three times more than enrichment step than mentorship step. In content items, four items among nine received scores was 4 on the 5 point Likert scale. In the teaching and learning process items, five items among ten received scores 4. Students' choice and experience received scores below 4. In the product and the learning environment items, all items lower than 4. The professors did not supply guidance according to the results of the assessment. The professors developed and revised the curriculum considering the students' interests. The directors, professors, and students wanted to increase the free inquiry time. Based on the findings, we suggested that free inquiry time, a variety of experience, product, and environment considering individual students' abilities and interests should be increased.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of science experience with their children on mothers who have children who are science gifted children and how they perceive what kind of parenting methods are appropriate for the growth and development of children who are science gifted children. To do this, we interviewed 13 mothers of the gifted education center of the Ministry of Education and conducted two in - depth interviews with them. Results, mothers who have scientific gifted children have various science experiences with children who are scientific gifted. In this process, mothers of gifted children understand the gifted children through science experience with their children, I have come to realize that it is necessary to provide an educational environment that can express my child's talents and help to determine the direction of my career. For this purpose, leadership education that reminds the importance of relationships between people, providing opportunities for various experiences so that they can decide their life, career education through inquiry of deep science experience and meeting with senior scientists, humanities for integrated thinking And the arts. In this way, it is possible to provide in-depth research results to the mothers of the gifted and talented to provide specific directions for the various supportive methods and teaching methods that the gifted children should provide for intellectual and emotional growth and development. Development of educational programs is necessary.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the science history materials presented in middle school 'Science' textbook according to the 2015 revised curriculum. The subjects of this study were 14 middle school 'Science' textbooks. The analysis used the three-dimensional framework. The results of analysis show that the number of science history materials presented in textbooks tends to increase as the grade goes up. It was also found that science history materials were presented in a specific unit for each grade. The three-dimensional analysis of science history materials showed that conceptual-fundamental-discovery/device types were most commonly presented in all grades. At the instruction context level, the conceptual context was the most common, and the basic role was the main at the role level. The discovery/device type was the most common type of presentation. The results of the study show that the science history materials presented in science textbooks were concentrated in some areas. Also, the instruction context and role were concentrated in some factors in terms. This suggests that various science history materials need to be developed in the future. It is also necessary to explore concrete methods to ensure that science history materials presented in textbooks can be used in various roles in different contexts.
