The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of using the concept cartoons about middle school students' science attitude in the lessons on water cycle unit. For the purpose, they were developed to the learning program with concept cartoon and the instrument for the science attitude which has four categories; attitudes about science, attitudes about science subject, learning motives for science subject, and scientific attitudes. The research method was designed to quasi-experimental design. The concept cartoon was provided to the experimental group during nine lessons. Before and after the lessons in all two groups, the pre-post tests with the instrument were performed. The results from twice t-tests were shown that the domain of learning motives for science subject was only improved. From these, it were indicated that the concept cartoon was not effective all areas in science attitude, therefore the use in science lessons need to be restricted within narrow purpose.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the digital textbook attribute factors on the learning interest and learning satisfaction using the structural equation model. In order to accomplish the purpose, the research was carried out with 325 students of digital textbook research school. Attribute factors of digital textbook are divided into self-concept of subjects and attribute factors of subjects. Self-concept of subjects is consist of superiority feeling and confidence. Attribute factors of subjects is interest, a sense of purpose, accomplishment motive. The results of this study can be summarized that the digital textbook attribute factors on the learning interest are signified confidence, interest, a sense of purpose, accomplishment motive. And the digital textbook attribute factors on the learning interest are signified learning satisfaction.

We fitted latent growth models of attitude towards science using the Korea Education & Employment Panel 2004-2007 data with 343 high school students. The growth model show better fit indices compared to the no growth model. The intercept and slope showed significant variances, and thus, we added control variables of the number, ratio of advanced courses, and variety in science elective subjects, and the achievement percentile for middle school. In the conditional growth model, the previous achievement has significant positive effects on the intercept and the ratio of the advanced courses and variety of science subjects show significantly positive effects on the slope. Based on the results, it supports the 2022 Revised Science Curricular that high school credit system should provide students with basic 'Physics,' 'Chemistry,' 'Biology,' and 'Earth Science,' credits in 'general electives', various integrated subjects in 'converged electives', and highly advanced subjects in 'career electives.'

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of experimental learning using the small-scale chemistry (SSC) on high school students' academic achievement, scientific attitude and science-related attitude in high school chemistry I. For this study, two high school 2nd grade classes were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Experimental learning using the SSC in the experimental group, traditional experimental learning presented in the textbook in the control group were performed. The results showed that experimental learning using the SSC compared to traditional experimental learning was effective in improving academic achievement. The experimental learning also was effective in improving voluntary, patience, cooperativity in the scientific attitudes and social implications of science, attitude for science curriculum, attitude toward science in the science-related attitudes. Therefore, experimental learning using the SSC is necessary to actively utilize in high school chemistry curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to survey and compare of the science gifted and the mathematics gifted students at elementary school's 171 students who live in the Seoul city, using Attitude Assessment Tool and Learning Motivation in Science. The analytical results of the collected data are presented as follow; Firstly, there was no difference between science gifted and mathematics gifted in the attitude, value, social meaning, and attitude toward science subject and learners mostly have a positive attitude toward science but, there was difference in the preference of the science gifted and mathematics gifted. Science gifted's preference toward science subject is higher than mathematics gifted students. Secondly, there was no difference in the attention, self-efficacy, and contentment in learning motivation in the science but, there was difference between science gifted and mathematics gifted in the relevance.

Satisfaction of learners is not high about courses based NCS(National Competency Standards) of specialized colleges as a result of this study. The satisfaction of learners through the result of the study about the courses based NCS appears above the average as 3.44 compared 5.0 scale of Likert and the difference of satisfaction of learners between courses based NCS and general courses exists in the specialized colleges. The satisfaction of learners of the three majors compared the total 23 majors are high and they occupies 13.0%. This means that the courses based NCS should need the method in order to increase the satisfaction of learners. But in case of D college, learners of courses based NCS at the fourteen majors of the total 23 majors have their more positive attitude for their learning compared with the attitude of general courses.

Despite the necessity and significance of mathematical competencies in the 2015 revised mathematics curriculum, there has been lack of studies analyzing textbooks in which such competencies are intended in detail through various tasks. Given this background, this paper analyzed how mathematical competencies and their sub-elements have been represented in the mathematics textbooks for third and fourth grade. The findings of this study showed that 'communication' was the most prevalent mathematical competence, followed by 'reasoning', 'creativity and integration', 'information processing', 'attitude and practice', and 'problem solving' in order. This study also explored the characteristics of mathematical competencies in the textbooks by analyzing which sub-elements per competence were popular. With illustrative examples, this paper is expected to provide for textbook developers with implications on how to represent mathematical competencies throughout the textbooks.

The main goal of this study is to investigate influence of trust in physical education (PE) teachers and immersion experience in PE classes on attitude and satisfaction during PE classes. Total 863 middle school students in Gwang-ju metropolitan area were recruited by utilizing a convenience sampling method. All data were analyzed by using SPSS statistic program ver. 25.0 (frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis). Alpha was set at 0.05. The results of this study is summarized as in the following. First, all sub-factors of trust in the PE teachers partially positively or negatively influence sub-factors of attitude during PE classes. Second, sub-factors of satisfaction during PE classes were partially positively affected to trust in the PE teachers. Third, Attitude during PE Classes were found to have partial positive influence on immersion experience in PE classes. Fourth, sub-factors of immersion experience in PE classes have partial positive effect on the sub-factors of satisfaction during PE classes. Thus, in order to the positive attitude and greater satisfaction during PE classes, it is important to establish the trust of PE teachers through maintaining interaction with students, constructing better systemic class, and creating the class conditions based on considering students' ability. In addition, in order to enhance immersion experiences of students during PE classes, it is necessary to set up learning goals and tasks based on ability of students, to study various teaching method, and to make only focusing on the performance based PE classes without grading.

본 연구는 수학 교사가 수학 교과에 대한 학습부진 학생의 이해와 적절한 교수-학습 방법의 탐색을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위해 두 가지 유형의 질적 자료를 중심으로 자료를 수집하고 심리검사, 일반 학습습관, 수학 학습습관, 수학 교과에 대한 태도 등 4가지 선문지를 사용하여 여고생을 대상으로 부진요인 분석에 그 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에 따르면 대표적인 부진 요인은 의문 해결을 위한 의지 결핍과 장기 기억방법을 알지 못하고 수학교과목 자체를 싫어하는 경향이 있는 듯 하였다. 스스로 수학 문제를 풀 수 없다는 선입감 때문에 해답을 보고 문제를 풀게 되고, 검산을 하지 않는 특성을 보였다. 이들 수학 학습부진 학생들을 지도할 때는 선수학습을 반드시 확인하는 수업을 고려해야 하며, 수학적 의사 소통 능력 등 보다 수학적인 내용과 과정에 대한 후속 연구가 필요하다고 본다.
