This study is conducted to search about changing earth science contents influenced by the scientific literacy from the 7th curriculum to the 2015 revised curriculum. Earth science area is divided into astronomy, geology, meteorology and oceanography contents. Among the elements of scientific literacy, the contents were analyzed focusing on STS elements. In the astronomical and meteorological content areas, there were aspects of scientific literacy in all periods from the 7th to the 2015 revised curriculum. Except for the 2007 revised curriculum in the geological area and the 7th curriculum in the oceanographic content area, the aspects of scientific literacy appeared at all times. It is emphasized the usefulness of science and technology in the astronomical content area and the use of science in everyday life in geological and meteorological content area. In the oceanographic content area, it is emphasized that content of science related social issue such as resource shortage and environmental pollution. This study can be extended to the fields of physics, chemistry and life science, we suggest to inquire the scientific literacy as a integrated science.

The present research has been conducted on the arranged form, the number and kinds, the area, the location of the rooms and the variation on exterior designs, based on a layout and a ground plan of each step, which are general plan, VE proposal and the final negotiation, for 11 elementary and middle and high schools that are designed in the way of BTL project. In consequence, it has been found out that there are some changes in the number and position of the rooms. However, the changes are not exceeding the overall arrangement form. This could not have led to the original aim, which is to induce creativity by PFI. It can be supposed that it is because the BTL system is stick to the old process, the method of financial investment and it is true to say that there needs to be solution for that.

The result of TIMSS 2015 was announced at the end of 2016. In this research, we conducted test-curriculum matching analysis for 8th grade earth science and analyzed Korean students' percentage of correct answers and responses for TIMSS earth science test items. According to the results, Korean students showed high percentage of correct answers when the item topics are covered in the 2009 revised science curriculum, and Korean students revealed their weakness in constructed response items since the percentage for correct answers on constructed response items is half that of multiple choice items. Depending on the earth science topic, for 'solid earth' area, which includes earth's structure and physical features, as well as earth's processes and history, students showed high percentage of correct answers for multiple choice items. Students, however, showed low percentage of correct answers for items that require applying knowledge to everyday situations and connecting with other areas of science such as biology. For 'atmosphere and ocean' areas, which include earth's processes and cycles, students showed low percentage of scores for climate comparison between regions, features of global warming, etc. For the area of 'universe', students showed high percentage of scores for the earth's rotation and revolution, the moon's gravity, and so on because they have learned these topics since primary school. Discussed in the conclusion are ways to secure content connection between the primary and middle school earth science curriculums, ways to develop students' science-inquiry related competencies, and so on to improve middle school earth science curriculum as well as teaching and learning.

Continuing education for librarians in Korea are coping with such problems as the inevitability of plans for the increasing demand for library education, needs for professional teaching personnel for the development of the curricula for the Continuing education, strategies to develop the competences of librarians for the new information ecology, designing e-learning contents for librarians, etc. In this regard, this study intends to analyze the current status of continuing education for librarians in Korea and in foreign countries. It attempts to draw some implications, and to present suggestions. It, specifically, focuses on the role of the National Library of Korea as main actor of continuing education for librarians in Korea. The suggestions made are to change the educational system with a creation of an independent institute, as it will bring up professional teaching personnel to work on continuing education for librarians, and will develop initiatives for the new educational system which embraces the changes in educational platforms.

This study is based on Freudenthal's mathmatising process and the didactical phenomenology of linear function concept, I have described and examined the process in which students represent the constant rate of change into tables, graphs and equations and, in this way, how they construct mental objects and essence of the linear function concept. The students used the proportionality as composite units, when they represented the phenomenon with constant rate of change into tables. When representing in graphs, all but one student represented it into a line. There were differences among the students in the level they were using the given conditions, co-variation perspective, and corresponding rules when formulating equations. The students compared the relationship between two variables in a multiplicative way, and under the guidance of teachers they reached to the understanding that its relationship becomes a constant. Moreover, they could construct mental objects of a constant rate of change, understanding the situation where the relationship between time difference and distance difference becomes one value, namely speed. The students had difficulties in connecting the rate of change with the inclination of a line. The students constructed the essence (concept) of linear functions, after building and organizing the image that the rate of change is constant, the graph is linear, and the equation is formulated as y=ax+b (a: inclination, b: intercept).

The purpose of this study is to prepare basic data to reflect polar literacy education in the school curriculum. The perception about the polar regions, teaching experience, and polar-related cognitive and affective characteristics of teachers were investigated. The survey was conducted among 56 elementary, middle, and high school teachers from schools from 10 major cities and surrounding regions, based on their perceptions of the polar region, current teaching status, polar knowledge, and beliefs and attitudes toward polar region and climate change. Results showed that although teachers' polar information efficacy was low, they positively evaluated the status of educators in resolving polar and climate change problems, and prioritized global citizenship values over practical purposes. The experience of teaching polar region and climate change issues at schools varied across subjects and non-subjects, but showed a passive aspect in teaching development, such as wanting to be provided with consolidated learning materials. On the cognitive aspect, teachers revealed an ambiguous understanding of the mechanisms and processes by which polar change and climate influence each other. On the affective aspect, most teachers showed strong beliefs and attitudes for polar-related issues beyond the school level, but their behavior choices were relatively lower. Based on the results, we propose the following as recommendations: providing opportunities and materials to promote polar knowledge, discovering educational materials in various contexts to form values and attitudes, developing educational materials from polar research materials, identifying misconceptions about polar knowledge among students and teachers, strengthening elementary school teachers' polar literacy, and cultivating positive attitudes and values toward polar issues.

세계 각국은 경제성장을 위한 무한, 무차별 경쟁시대에 대처하고 국민의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해 국가차원의 대학 교육개혁을 시도하고 있다. 이러한 가운데 우리나라 대학들도 선진국의 교육시장 개방압력과 기술 보호장벽 그리고 다른 한편으로 대학교육 경쟁력의 배양 등의 우선 과제를 안고 있는 실정이다. 특히 상아탑적 대학교육의 관점이 퇴조하고 교육을 서비스 산업의 일환으로 이해하려 하는 교육산업사회의 도래와 함께 모든 이를 위한 대학교육체제인 개방대학체제가 확충되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 변화는 결국 학생소비자시대를 도래케 하여 결과적으로 학사운영에 있어서도 고객중심 학사과정(curriculum)에 의한 다학문적 접근의 보편화를 가져다 주고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the state of problem solving in Korean elementary mathematics. To do this, we considered the meaning of problem and problem solving in mathematics education, and analyzed the mathematics curricula in the longitudinal-latitudinal dimensions respectively. The longitudinal one consists in examining and comparing the all-time Korean elementary mathematics curricula. Meanwhile the latitudinal one consists in examining and comparing the elementary mathematics curricula of Singapore, the United Kingdom, Japan, and France. As a result of analysis, we selected ten sieves for analysing Korean elementary mathematics textbooks according to the 7th mathematics curriculum. By the analysis, we conclude that we teach problem solving quite positively in school mathematics relative to another countries, in particular we have to reconsider some issues including dealing problem solving as a independent content not a process integrated in other contents.
