본 연구는 정책학의 학문적 정체성을 정의·분류하고, 학문적 정체성의 하위차원에서 도출된 연구 질문과 기존 연구에서 제기된 논쟁점에 대해 학문공동체와 기존 연구들이 어떻게 논의하고 있는지를 정리하였다. 이러한 논의를 통하여 정책학의 정체성이 무엇이고 어떤 상태에 있는지, 연구 노력과 활동이 정체성 정립에 기여했는지, 학문적 정체성 구축을 위한 연구 함의는 무엇인지를 파악하고자 한다. 본 연구의 학문적 정체성은 '독자적이고 고유한 이론체계와 방법론 및 연구 대상과 범위를 가지고 있으면서(과학적 정체성) 경계에 따라 차이가 있고 구별되는 독특한 특징을 고민하면서(경계정체성) 공동체를 구성하여 학문의 영역과 미래를 회고·전망하는 것(집단정체성)'으로 규정하였다. 즉 정책학의 학문적 정체성은 세 가지 하위 차원과 각각의 구성요소(패러다임, 한국화, 공동체 활동 등)로 이루어져 있다. 정책학의 학문적 정체성을 종합적으로 판단하면 다음과 같다. 정책의 개념 정립과 이론 구축 등의 멀고 성가신 길을 회피하는 경향이 있는 것으로 판단하여 과학적 정체성 수준은 매우 낮고 그 구축은 요원하다고 하겠다. 빈약한 또는 잘못된 정책 개념을 극복하고 정당한 과정을 거친 개념 규정이 우선적으로 필요할 것이다. 정책학의 한국화에 대한 연구 요청 대(對) 무용론이나 연구 축적은 거의 없다는 비판 등이 대치하고 있는 것으로 판단하여 경계 정체성에 대한 위기를 인식하고 있지만 지속적인 관심과 연구 축적이 필요하다고 하겠다. 학문공동체를 구성하여 (한국)정책학의 위치와 미래에 대해 회고·전망의 장을 열고 있지만 공동체의 목적인 근본적 문제 등에 관한 자극은 부족한 것으로 판단하였다. 구성원들의 응집력은 한국화 등에 대한 공동 노력이 시도되고 있는 반면, 개념 구성 등에 대한 그것은 알려진 것이 드물다. 따라서 집단정체성은 과학적 정체성의 공유(자극, 공동노력, 응집력)는 상대적으로 부족하고 경계정체성의 공유는 시도 단계에 있다고 볼 수 있다. 개념 정립, 이론 구축 등과 같은 과학적 정체성에 대한 연구는 위험이 따르기 때문에 개인적 시도보다는 학문공동체의 관심과 자극이 수반된 공동 노력으로 연구될 필요가 있다고 하겠다.

생물체의 유전자 서열들간의 유사성을 서로 비교해보는 일은(sequence alignment)는 분자생물학 연구에서 아주 기본적인 작업에 속한다. 이 작업은 컴퓨터 과학적 입장에서 살퍼보면 일종의 스트링 분석작업인데, 그 과정에는 매우 복잡한 생물학적인 가정이 내포되어 있다. 본 발표의 목적은 크게 두가지인데 하나는 컴퓨터과학 연구자들에게 서열정렬(sequence alignment)이 가지는 분자생물학적 의미에 대하여 개략적인 이해를 돕도록 하는 것이며, 다른 한편으로 분자생물학자들에게는 스트링처리방법을 이용한 서열정렬 문제에서 어떤 기술적인 한계가 있으며 그 한계를 극복하기 위한 새로운 방법론에 대하여 소개하여 컴퓨터과학적 이해의 폭을 넓히는 것이다. 그리고 생물체의 서열정보의 정렬과 매우 유사한 개념으로 각종 선형구조체(linear object)를 추상화 할 수 있른데, 그들간의 유사성도 같은 분자생물학적 방법론을 차용하여 분석할 수 있음을 보인다. 동시에 이것을 이용하여 각종 인터넷 문서나 프로그램, 등의 표절과 무단도용 등을 추적할 수 있는 방법론을 기존의 genomic sequence alignment tool을 차용해서 매우 효율적으로 할 수 있음을 보인다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a program for the history of science and technology in order for the technical high school students to understand the nature of science (NOS). The program was composed of the six topics based on the textbooks such as convergence science and physics I, and was taught to 290 10th graders at a technical high school located in the metropolitan area. The questionnaire about NOS was asked the students before and after the instruction, so as to investigate the effect of the program on improving their understandings of NOS. The analysis followed t-test and ANOVA using SPSS 23.0 for Windows program. The questionnaire based on the conceptual framework of the four themes of the NOS (Lee, 2014). The research findings were as follows. First, the program was effective in improving their understanding of NOS since the t-test result was significant statistically for the overall domains of NOS (p<.01). Second, there was no significant gender differences in the understanding of NOS among technical high school students (p<.05), neither did their majors (p<.05). Third, all domains in NOS were statistically correlated (p<.01), and in a particular, each domain was consistently correlated with the aspect of the nature of the interactions among science, technology, and society. Hence, the further studies should be conducted to examine how the history of science and technology effects the understanding of the NOS and how the domains in NOS affected each other.

This study was to investigate the effective order of instruction for students learning the concepts of chemical change. Chemical change was considered as the important area in 8th grade chemistry part. The study consisted of 168 8th grade students, two classes of boys and girls each, from a middle school in Seoul. They were divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. The control group was taught in the order, which was presented in the science textbook; chemical change, atom, and molecule (CAM). For the experimental group, the order was molecule, atom, and chemical change (MAC). From the results of the study, there was a statistically significant difference between the control group and the experimental group. But the interviews indicated that the students were confused with the MAC method in spite of the effective learning. Therefore, for more effective concepts learning without a confusion, we need to provide our students with various learning sequences of science textbooks rather than fixed learning sequences.

This study is to investigate preconception of elementary school students and Belizean elementary school teachers and to devise experiment to understand a cause of seasonal change. An open-ended questionnaire and interviews were conducted for 91 6th grade students who didn't learn seasonal change and 10 Belizean teachers to find out preconception of seasonal change and they were categorized by using inductive analysis. They thought that the Earth's rotation, the distance between the Sun and the Earth, the Earth's revolution, pollution and climate change cause seasonal change. And it found out that these misconceptions come from difficulty in awareness of space and impreciseness of textbooks and books and so on. The experiment was designed to correct inaccurate preconception and to improve lessons of seasonal change. It is to measure a meridian altitude and a length of daytime and nighttime and to compare them. This experiment can help to understand the cause of seasonal change by measuring natural phenomenons like the meridian altitude and the change of length of daytime by model.

The effects of computer-assisted instruction (CAl) using molecular-level animation upon students' conceptions, attitudes toward science instruction, and learning motivation were investigated. Treatment and control groups (2 classes) were selected from a girls middle school in Seoul, and taught about the motion of molecule for 5 class hours. Before instruction, the short-version Group Assessment of Logical Thinking (GALT) and the Patterns of Adaptive Survey were administered, and the grade for the previous science course was obtained. The GALT score was used as a blocking variable, and the others as covariates. After the instructions, the researcher-made conceptions test, the test of attitudes toward science instruction, and the motivation questionnaire were administered. The perception questionnaire of CAl was also administered to the treatment group. Although more students in the CAl group had sound understanding about the motion of molecule, the scores of the conceptions test for the two groups were not significantly different at .05 level of significance. The students in the CAl group, however, were found to have more positive attitudes toward science instruction and learning motivation. In the perception questionnaire of CAl, most students in the treatment group exhibited positive attitudes toward the CAl. However, some students mentioned that they were disturbed by noisy environments, and that they could not understand some content presented. Educational implications are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the difficulties of teachers and students on the unit about 'measuring weight.' In this research, we have acquired data about teachers through survey, interview, and self-reflection journals, at the same time we have collected information on the students through survey, assessment test, and interview. We have extracted the difficulties from analysis with constant comparison method. In addition, we have analysed the curriculum of science and mathematics to know the leaning sequence. The analysis had been checked up by experts in science education. The result of the study is as follows: The difficulties of teachers are from the lack of teachers' descriptive knowledge, disorder of conceptual hierarchy in the curriculum, poor experimental instruments, and low psychomotor skill of students. The difficulties of students are from common misconceptions, opaque concepts, lack of manipulation skill, insufficiency of mathematical ability, difficulty of application of principles to the real situation, and lack of problem-solving ability. In addition, teachers have recognized that students face more difficulties in experiment class, while students think that they face more difficulties in conceptual understanding class.

We consider how a pre-service teacher can understand and utilize various concepts of Euclidean geometry by learning conic sections using mathematical definitions in non-Euclidean geometry. In a third-grade class of D University, we used mathematical definitions to demonstrate that learning conic sections in non-Euclidean space, such as taxicab geometry and Minkowski distance space, can aid pre-service teachers by enhancing their ability to acquire and accept new geometric concepts. As a result, learning conic sections using mathematical definitions in taxicab geometry and Minkowski distance space is expected to contribute to enhancing the education of pre-service teachers for Euclidean geometry expertise by fostering creative and flexible thinking.

This study analyzed the thinking types of pre-service chemical cell chemistry teachers according to grade and tried to find out how the education for pre-service teachers had influenced their thinking types. This study found that the pre-service education had failed to form scientific conceptions. Some pre-service teachers thought that college education couldn't help them understand the knowledge about chemical cell. In addition, they are lacking in scientific conception. Even some of them who thought college education was helpful had wrong conceptions. Most of the pre-service teachers' thoughts could not exceed the level of the high school chemistry textbooks. But, Juniors had more scientific conception than other grades through the group discussions about chemistry textbooks' contents in the course of "Theory of Science Teaching Materials". So, Pre-service education should include the pedagogical knowledge with content knowledge treated in secondary school science textbooks for educational effects.

The Purpose of this study was an analysis of high school student's understanding level about concepts of special relativity through in-depth interview. The 8 participants were 10th grade students in H high school in Ulsan city, who were interviewed and analyzed in the results of the interview about basic concepts of special relativity using achievement checklist in 6 situations(principle of constancy of light velocity, principle of relativity, relativity of simultaneity, garage paradox, rocket paradox). As results of the checklist, the participants showed high achievement in the content level of simple phenomena and simple concepts related to special relativity. But they showed low achievement in the concept level for fundamental understanding of special relativity. As results of the interview, it was found that the participants decided the order of events depending on their intuition and had a difficulty to apply the coordinate system to real situation, even though they mathematically understood it. In addition, some participants who could not understand the inertial coordinate system explained paradoxes of relativity depending on their intuition and had learner's chaos. Finally, though high school students usually being in formal operational stage, some students had difficulty to draw phenomena of space and time in two dimensional plane.
