The importance of teaching the nature of science (NOS) has been emphasized in the science curriculum, especially in the science curriculum for science-gifted students. Nevertheless, few studies concerning the structure and formation of students' mental model on NOS have been carried out. This study aimed to explore science-gifted students' understanding of 'fact', 'hypothesis', 'theory', 'law', and 'scientificness' by utilizing semantic network analysis. One hundred ten science-gifted middle school students who were selected by a national university participated in this study. We collected students' written responses of five items and analyzed them by the semantic network analysis(SNA) method. As a result, the core ideas of students' understanding of 'fact' were proof and reality, of 'hypothesis' were tentativeness and uncertainty, of 'theory' was proven hypothesis by experimentation, of 'law' were absoluteness and authority, and of 'scientificness' were factual evidence, verifiability, accurate and logical theoretical framework. The result of integrated semantic network illustrated that the viewpoint of science-gifted students were similar to absolutism and logical positivism (empiricism). Methodologically, this study showed that the semantic network analysis method was an useful tool for visualization of students' mental model of scientific conceptions including NOS.

COVID-19로 인해 대학 수업 운영에도 많은 변화가 생겼고 현재도 다양한 수업 방식이 시도되고 있다. 특히 컴퓨터 프로그래밍과 같이 실습이 중요한 비중을 차지하는 교과목들은 대면수업이 더 효과적일 것이라고 많은 교수자들이 생각하고 있다. 본 연구진 역시 사전에 그런 인식을 가지고 연구를 진행하게 되었다. 그러나 예상했던 것보다 비 대면이나 혼합 방식의 수업을 선호하는 학생들의 비중이 꽤 컸으며 그 이유도 매우 구체적이고 다양하였다. 본 연구에서는 대면, 비대면, 혼합 방식의 수업을 모두 경험한 컴퓨터공학과 전공 수업 참여 학생들을 대상으로 효과적인 프로그래밍 수업 방식에 관한 설문을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석해보았다. 이 연구의 결과는 post COVID 19의 시대를 살아가면서 COVID 19으로 인해 생긴 대학 수업의 변화와 요구들을 수업 운영에 좀 더 긍정적으로 활용하는 기초가 될 것으로 생각한다.

This study is a literature study that analyzes empirical case study of Flipped learning application which has emerged as a method of future university education in Korea. The purpose of the study is to explore the use of digital media by learners in the Flipped learning applied courses in domestic universities considering current digital-based media environment. For this purpose, we analyzed the measurement variables and statistical significance of the preceding studies and analyzed the media utilization. The most important measurement variables were 'learning achievement' and 'class satisfaction', which were measures of effectiveness on the Flipped learning classes. All studies analyzed used media, but most studies focused on verifying the effectiveness of classroom classes, resulting in separate media utilization measurements in one study and statistically meaningful results for the 'video learning recognition' variable. The qualitative measurement related to the use of media for each study was presented as a separate analysis result. In the future, in order for effective follow-up studies on application of Flipped learning and digital media utilization, there are five main issues that need to be studied, which are securing the necessary treatment period for accurate effect measurement, etc.

In this study, we applied the flipped-classroom to the general chemistry experiment lecture of the domestic university with strong teacher-led, and explored the effects and possibilities of the course. For this purpose, 30 students who were enrolled in the Science Education Department of the College of Education in the metropolitan area were randomly assigned to two groups, namely, the flipped-classroom group and the traditional class group. Then, we developed a general chemistry experiment lessons based on the flipped-classroom along with visual materials and we applied the lessons for 15 weeks. After all the classes, we conducted a survey to see the students' perception of the general chemistry experiment lecture by flipped classroom. As a result of analysis, the students of the flipped-classroom group were more positive than the students of the traditional class group in terms of the usefulness of the class activity, the importance of each activity element for the successful learning, the learning level, and the intention for another lesson. As a result of analyzing students' perceptions in terms of general chemical experiment activities such as conducting experiments or writing reports and understanding the contents of experiments, the average score of the flippedclassroom group was higher than the traditional class group, and the main cause of this result was the video material provided by prior learning activities. In addition, as a result of analyzing students' perceptions in terms of interactions and self-directed learning in class, the average score of the flipped-classroom group was generally higher than the traditional class group. In particular, students' interactions and self-directed learning were statistically significant differences between the two groups. And the students' perception of video material was very positive, and it was analyzed that the video that the instructor directly explained experiment theory and method was the most favorite videos of students. We discussed educational implications of these findings.
