The consistency and balance of objectives by objective domains in units, sub-units and instructional units were investigated. The 6th elementary biology curricular teaching guidebooks were analysed. Domains of objectives are cognitive, inquiry process, instrumental skill, creative, affective and STS. Cognitive objectives were most dominant in all units, sub-units and instructional units. But no objective for creative domain were suggested. In unit and sub-unit, proportions of objectives were cognitive, inquiry process, affective, instrumental skill and STS domains in order. Objectives for cognitive and inquiry process domains were more than others in instructional units, Except cognitive and inquiry process domains, objectives for the others were not consistent in all units, sub-units and instructional units. Especially, the percentages of objectives for affective domain decreased in units, sub-units and instructional units orderly. These resulted from teaching objective domains categorized formally, Thus, it is necessary to develope curriculum and textbook to be consistent and balanced with objective domains and reflect upon the characteristics of them.

'Scientific inquiry experiments', which was newly created subjects in the 2015 revised curriculum, was expected in the aspect of learning science and developing core competences through science practices. Based on changed view of evaluation, assessments of a practice-centered subject 'Scientific inquiry experiments' should be try to conducted in various ways, but many challenges were reported. In this study, through analysis of current status of assessment of the subject, we intended to find the way of conducting and supporting 'Scientific inquiry experiments'. We collected assessment materials and explanatory description about them from 25 teachers who taught 'Scientific inquiry experiments' in 2018 and 2019. And we analyzed the cases with framework which were consisted with three main categories: elements, standards, methods of assessments. Also, we investigated how the results of assessment were utilized. For the validity, we requested verification of the results of our data analysis to experts of science education and science teachers. From them, we also collected their opinions about our analysis. As a result of the study, teachers assessed some elements of inquiry skills such as 'analysis and interpreting the data', 'conducting inquiry' more than others which were closely related to what subject-matter the teachers used to organized inquiry program with. In the aspect of domain of assessments, though cognitive domain and affective domain as well as skills were evaluated, we also found that the assessment of those domains had some limitation. In terms of standard of assessment, the goals of assessment were presented in most cases, but there were relatively few cases which had the specific criteria and the stepwise statements of expected performance of students. The time and subject of the assessment were mainly post-class and teachers, and others such as in-class assessments, peer-assessments were used only in specific contexts. In all cases, the results of assessments used for calculating students' grade, but in some cases, we could observe that the results used for improving teaching and feedback for students. Based on these results, we discussed how to support the assessments of 'Scientific inquiry experiments'.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perspectives of science educators on the learning situations of visually impaired students through scientific inquiry in a darkroom. Twenty-four science educators who came to the annual conference of the Korean Association for Science Education volunteered to participate in 'the scientific inquiry in the darkroom' activities. They were encouraged to touch models of 'the molecular structure of ice' and 'the structure of eyes' and to discuss with participants during the activities. Surveys were done before and after darkroom activities, and the discussions during and after the activities were recorded and analyzed. As a result, participants recognized that science education for visually impaired students is both very feasible and necessary. Also, some of them, who have had an experience of teaching blind students and thought that they fully understood the learning situation of the visually impaired, were especially surprised by the fact that they did not actually understand how it was like to be a visually impaired and responded that they were able to more deeply comprehend the learning situation of visually impaired students through these activities. Through this experience, participants also became resolute to try more deeply to understand not only the visually impaired students, but also sighted students with learning disabilities. Based on these results, educational implications of scientific inquiry in the darkroom were discussed.

지구과학은 실생활과 직접적으로 관련되거나 학생들이 친숙하게 생각하는 많은 개념들을 포함하고 있으며 이런 특성은 과학캠프나 자연탐사 활동에서 지구과학과 관련한 탐구주제가 학생들의 큰 호응을 얻는 사실을 설명할 수 있다. 하지만 정규 수업에서 이루어지는 지구과학 실험 수업은 교과서에 제시된 자료해석 위주의 실험이 많아 학생들의 흥미를 반감시키는 경우가 많으며 자료 측정과정에서 과학자가 느낄 수 있는 중요하고 귀중한 경험을 놓칠수 있다. 그런데 인터넷에서는 해양과 대기, 천문, 지질 각 분야에서 지속적으로 갱신되는 실시간 관측 자료를 제공해 주는 곳이 많으며 이 실시간 자료들을 고등학교의 지구과학 실험에 이용할 수 있도록 학습 프로그램을 개발하면 기존의 자료해석 실험이 가지는 한계를 극복하고 학생들의 지구과학에 대한 호응도를 높일 수 있으며 보다 다양한 탐구 능력을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 이러한 학습 프로그램의 특징은 탐구 중심 혹은 문제 해결 학습을 강조하는 현재의 교육 목표를 잘 반영할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 인터넷에서 제공되는 지구과학 관련 실시간 자료들을 활용할 수 있는 고등학교 지구과학 학습 프로그램을 개발하고 이를 지원할 수 있는 홈페이지를 구축한 후 실제로 수업에 적용하여 교육적 효과를 확인하는 것이다. 연구 결과 실시간 자료를 이용하는 고등학교 학생들을 위한 지구과학 학습 프로그램을 12개의 주제에 대해서 완성했다. 먼저 지구과학실험 시간에 적용할 수 있는 2차시 분량의 학습 프로그램 6주제를 개발했는데 개발 주제는 '지진이 일어나고 있는 곳은 어디인가?', '진앙으로 판의 경계를 결정하기', '진앙의 위치를 찾아라', '암영대를 찾아라', '태양의 자전 주기를 측정하기', '태양활동' 이다. 각 주제별로 수업소개, 학습목표, 과정, 학습자료(학생 활동지, 기타 자료, 수업 내용과 관련한 실시간 자료 제공 사이트 목록), 평가 자료를 만들었다. 학생들의 활동 내용은 <지진이 일어나고 있는 곳은 어디인가?>의 주제를 예로 들면 학생들이 실시간으로 전 세계의 지진활동을 모니터하는 사이트에 접속하여 최근에 지진이 어디에서 일어났는지 알아보고 지난 30일 동안에 일어났던 규모 4 이상의 지진 자료를 다운 받아 세계 지도에 점으로 표시한다. 이 때 학생들은 손으로 진앙의 위치를 지도에 그리는 대신 엑셀의 그래프 기능을 이용하여 지도에 진앙의 위치를 나타내게 한다. 또 개인 과제 연구에 적용할 수 있는 학습 프로그램을 5가지 개발하여 학생들이 특정한 주제에 대하여 탐구 과제를 수행할 수 있게 했는데 개발된 주제는 '태양 활동으로 오로라 예측하기', '국제 우주 정거장을 찾아내자', '한반도 부근의 해양 기상과 해수의 물리적 상호 관계', '일기도 분석을 통한 태풍의 진로 예측', '우리 나라 조석 예측' 이다. 마지막으로 사이버 학습을 통해서 수업 시간의 제약 없이 과제 형태로 처치 가능한 학습 프로그램 개발 했는데 그 주제는 '태풍이 저위도에서 북상하는 이유?'이다. 개발된 프로그램 중 2차시 학습 프로그램은 과학고 중학생 영재반에게, 개인 탐구 과제는 과학고 1학년 학생들에게, 사이버 수업 형태는 과학고 2학년 학생에게 적용시켰다. 실시간 자료 활용을 지원하는 홈페이지를 만들어 자료 제공 사이트에 대한 메타 자료를 데이터베이스화했으며 이를 통해 학생들이 원하는 실시간 자료를 검색하여 찾을 수 있고 홈페이지를 방분했을 때 이해하기 어려운 그래프나 각 홈페이지가 제공하는 자료들에 대한 처리 방법을 도움말로 제공받을 수 있게 했다. 실시간 자료들을 이용한 학습은 학생들의 학습 의욕과 탐구 능력을 향상시켰으며 컴퓨터 활용 능력과 외국어 자료 활용 능력을 향상 시키는데도 도움을 주었다.

Creative thinking alone can not lead to scientific creativity. Scientific knowledge and scientific inquiry skills are needed for scientific creativity. Focused only on cognitive aspect, I suggested a cognitive model of scientific creativity (CMSC) consisting of 3 components: thinking for scientific creativity, scientific knowledge contents, and scientific inquiry skills. Recently, many researchers have emphasized the various thinking for creativity as well as divergent thinking. Therefore, I suggested three types of creative thinking - divergent thinking, convergent thinking, and associational thinking - and discussed its rationale. Based on this model, an example of activity material for the scientific creativity was suggested. In the further research, based on CMSC, various activity types related to scientific creativity and concrete learning materials for scientific creativity will be developed.

Inscriptions are integral parts of the current science textbooks, and become medium that makes sense of scientific concepts effectively. This study analyzed the inscriptions from five science textbooks at the secondary level in terms of its type, function, and structures. Analyzing types of inscriptions resulted that the ratio of frequently used photographs and illustrations were much higher than that of graphs and tables used. In case of function analysis, illustrative and complementary functions were dominant in terms of frequency and ratio, whereas explanatory, decorative and inquisitive functions were relatively rare. Inscriptions of single structure was much more than multiple structure. Multiple structure of pair and series were mainly used for representing contrast and sequence, respectively. The proportion of inscriptions in type, function and structure across the textbooks was significantly different. Based on the results, it was suggested that semiotic study about the function and the structure of inscriptions need to be carried out in earth science area to better understand the pedagogical implications of inscriptions in school science.

The purpose of this study was to develop the experiment-based problem for evaluating scientific ability of elementary scientifically gifted students, and to examine its potential of application for them. The problem for evaluating scientific ability was related to the plant vascular structure of 'the structure and function of plants' unit of elementary school science, and consisted of three components such as observing and inferring, designing an experiment, and concluding. In order to apply for scientifically gifted students, scoring criteria were detailed. For the observing and inferring domain, the arrangement and structure of vascular bundles of the dicotyledon and the monocotyledon, xylem position, reason of putting plants in ink were included. Those of designing an experiment domain were method of dissecting stems of plants, and design experimental procedures, those of concluding were the prediction of experimental results, and comparison and verification with prediction and results. Finally, the scientific ability evaluation problem was applied for 22 scientifically gifted students, who had been taught in the Science Education Institute for the Gifted adjacent University, and we had found the potential of utilization for scientifically gifted students.
