This study investigated the perception of science philosophy education targeting 150 elementary school teachers in metropolitan cities and provinces. The questionnaire survey on the perception of the philosophy of science education was composed of a 5-point Likert scale based on the interest and experience of the philosophy of science, the reason for difficulty in using it, and the introduction method, the expected effect. As a result of the survey, elementary school teachers' awareness of the interest and necessity of the philosophy of science was generally high, while the experience of learning and teaching the philosophy of science was low. In addition, to the reason why it was difficult to utilize the philosophy of science, teachers answered that there was insufficient teacher training and development of teaching and learning methods. As a way to introduce the philosophy of science in science education, it was thought that it was necessary to combine the concept learning and inquiry method, and elementary school teachers' perception of the expected effect of using the philosophy of science was generally high. The results of this study are meaningful in that they provide basic data on the direction of the introduction of the philosophy of science in elementary science education.

For the continuous growth and development of students, continuity of learning content according to the school level is essential. However, research on the continuity of kindergarten education and elementary school science curriculum is relatively insufficient. In this respect, it is necessary to precede the analysis of the continuity between the science-related learning content presented in kindergarten education and the science curriculum in elementary school. In this study, the 2015 science curriculum was organized into 14 small sections, and the core contents of science education in kindergartens and elementary schools were presented as correspondence. As a result, it was possible to classify learning contents presented only in kindergarten, learning contents presented only in elementary schools, and learning contents showing a clear continuity between kindergarten and elementary school. This study is meaningful in that it presents implications for the continuity between the science curriculum of the kindergarten curriculum and the elementary school curriculum.

This study examined how pre-service science teachers, who observed classes for the gifted in science, perceive the gifted in science and the education they are getting, and explored what needs to be improved in the classes for the gifted in science. Based on the results of this study, first, pre-service science teachers were negative about the giftedness of the gifted in science. Second, they recognized that various types of classes were not provided. Especially, while theoretical lectures were mostly offered, they recognized that it had a negative influence in developing the potential giftedness of the gifted in science. Third, they were negative about the absence of programs for improving creativity and thinking skills and teaching materials for the gifted in science; however, they were positive about self-directed learning. Fourth, they had a negative opinion on educational facilities and the number of students in classes. Fifth, they recognized that potential giftedness would be developed the most when the lecturer is a professor majoring in the subject. For improvements in the classes for the gifted in science, they referred to revising the distinction focusing on preceding learning, reinforcing teaching methods to improve creative thinking, constructing creative contents regardless of specific grades and curriculum, securing learning materials for the gifted, and the necessity of lecturers specialized in the education for the gifted. Eventually, pre-service science teachers have negative cognitions for the classes for the gifted in science offered by universities, and it was known that they mentioned the necessity of creative educational courses and professional lecturers, not pre-learning for improvements.

2000년대에 들어오면서 우리나라에는 대전, 영월, 김해를 시작으로 많은 시민천문대가 생겨나면서 지방자치단체에서 건립한 시민천문대 외에도 다양한 형태로 시민들이 이용할 수 있는 천문대가 생겨났다. 현재 전국적으로 파악되는 공립, 사립 천문대의 수가 50개를 훨씬 넘으며, 이 가운데 약 절반은 지방자치단체에서 건립한 시민천문대이다. 그러나 이런 시대의 흐름에도 불구하고 인구 350만인 거대도시 부산에는 제대로 된 시민천문대가 아직 없는 실정이다. 수도권의 경우 서울시청을 기준으로 접근거리 150km이내의 시민천문대는 최소 15개가 넘으며, 사설 천문대 등을 합하면 이 수치의 2~3배에 달한다. 한국천문학회는 부산시민의 전폭적인 지원에 힘입어 2021년 제 31차 국제천문연맹총회(IAUGA 2021)를 부산으로 유치하는데 성공하였다. 부산시는 과학문화도시로서 시민의 과학대중화 사업, 특히 천문학 관련 교육과 홍보에 심혈을 기울여 왔으며, IAUGA2021의 부산 개최를 맞이하여 세계적인 과학도시로 성장할 계기를 마련하게 되었다. 21세계 우주시대를 살아가는 선진 시민으로서 350만 부산 시민의 우주에 대한 호기심을 충족시켜주며 청소년에게 현대적인 우주관을 교육할 수 있는 시민천문대의 건립을 제안한다. 구경 1m 급 주망원경을 갖춘 천문돔, 다수의 보조망원경을 갖춘 관측실, 천체투영관, 강의동 등으로 구성될 부산 시민천문대는 부산뿐만 아니라 과학문화가 상대적으로 낙후된 동남권 지역의 천문학 교육을 위한 중추적인 과학문화시설이 될 것으로 기대한다.

As part of the second-year monitoring study on the implementation of the 2015 revised science curriculum, this study investigated high school science teachers' perception and realization of instruction and assessment of elective courses to derive measures to settle and improve the science curriculum. A total of 244 high school science teachers responded to the survey questionnaire, and 9 teachers participated in interviews. In survey results, science teachers are contemplating ways to increase students' science competencies and their participation in classes, but still, lecture-oriented classes are most often used in their teaching. Regarding assessment, teachers responded that there were positive changes in all of the questions related to process-based assessment (PBA). Regarding the difficulty of managing science elective courses, teachers most often selected increased numbers of subjects being covered, overload of work, and the burden of restructuring classes considering various ways of teaching and assessment. Through in-depth interviews, teachers argued the difficulty for Science I courses to emphasize student participatory classes compared to integrated science, and the difficulty to implement student participatory classes for Science II courses, which are mainly placed in the third grade. Teachers also argue that it is necessary to secure time to implement PBA in science elective courses, and that there is no need to implement PBA for the science experiment since there are no tests on the SAT. Based on the results of the study, discussed in the conclusion are support plans for the settlement of PBA in elective courses, and the need for in-depth analysis of the direction and cause of student participatory classes and PBA at the school.
