The purpose of this study was to develop analytic framework for dialogic argumentation to show the context and flow visualizing interactions of argumentation, to be able to present quality of argumentation specifically. For this, we formulated a method of the argumentation diagram using feature of diagram simple and structurally visualizing interrelation between argument components, and then quantified quality of argumentation to argument level score on this basis. We have developed the learning material for argumentation about a vertical circular motion and used the obtained translations from applying it in developing the framework. We chose argument statements among full transcript and then coded as Toulmin's argument components, and these codes was effectively arranged and linked to show argumentation diagram. Results by argumentation diagram could be useful understanding of interactive argumentation context and the flow and present frequency, the combination of argument elements, rough qualitative level of argumentation. To quantify argumentation quality, we gave different scores to different link lines reflecting indication of argumentation quality like that diversity of argument component, justification, presence or absence of rebuttals. The process of identification of argument level is very simple, qualitative level of argumentation represented as concrete score could present various and concrete argument level. Developed analytic framework might contribute to argumentation research field, because it can present effectively dialogic argumentation result. Also, various analysis cases might guide designing an effective argumentation practice and circular motion learning.

The purpose of this research was to examine the attitudes and behavior of physical therapy students toward the disabled. The subjects were 776 students at 6 cities and provinces nationwide with physical therapy. Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect data from 800, and 776 returned forms was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 ver. As a summary of the results, first, there was a more positive significant difference in the behavior toward disabilities in men than women; the higher grade they were, the more negative the significant difference in attitude toward the disabilities. Second, the subjects with disabled family members or friends had a positive attitude and behavior. Third, there was no difference as to whether to take classes related to disabilities, and there was a positive significant difference in the students who took voluntary service. Based on these results, interactions with disabled people affect the positive attitudes and behaviors toward disabilities. In addition, implications of the important roles of education curricula to take direct experience are suggested.

The purpose of this study is to provide some suggestions for future improvement of scientific inquiry activities in Korean elementary science textbook. The modified framework of Lee(2005) and Millar et al.(1998) was used to compare inquiry activities in the Korean and Singaporean science textbooks. The results of this study are as follows: Korean text books have more activities than Singapore's, but both countries have similar time allotment for science classes. In the area of 'inquiry process skill', Singapore is more balanced in 'Basic inquiry process skills' and 'Integrated inquiry process skills' than Korea. Singapore's integrated inquiry rate is also higher than Korea's. Next the results of comparing leaning objectives to scientific inquiry activities shows that Korean text books tend to focus on 'contents objectives', while Singapore's text books focus on balancing 'contents objectives' and 'process objectives'. Korean science textbooks encourage students to communicate the results of experiments but in most case these communication activities are actually not performed. Lastly Korea and Singapore have low degree of openness in inquiry activities. Remarkably 'Suggest questions' are totally conducted by teachers. This study implies that Korean science textbooks should have lower amounts of inquiry activities to accomodate enough time for communication about results. Next we need to make balance not only 'Basic inquiry process skills' and 'Integrated inquiry process skills' but also 'Content objectives' and 'Process objectives'. Lastly we need to make student to be the leader in science classes through encouraging them to plan procedures for experiments and to discover results by themselves.

최근 수질오염원 중에서 비점오염원의 영향 높아지고 있다. 특히, 농경활동에서 유래되는 비점오염원이 공공수역의 수질에 미치는 영향이 증가하고 있다. 농경지에서 배출되는 비점오염원은 관리대상 면적이 넓어 비점오염 배출을 저감하기 위해서는 사전예방적 차원에서 접근이 필요하다. 하지만, 비점오염원에 대한 농업인과 주민들의 인식 부족으로 인하여 관리에 많은 어려움이 있다. 근래에 농업 비점오염원 저감을 위한 노력으로 물리적 기술적 접근만이 아니라 사회 문화적 접근이 병행되어야 한다는 점이 강조되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 농업 비점오염원 관리를 위한 사회문화적인 접근 방법으로서 전형적인 한국의 농촌 마을에서 농업 비점오염원에 대한 인지도 향상과 자발적 저감활동 실천 참여를 유도하기 위하여 개발된 역량강화 교육프로그램이 교육 대상자인 농업인, 주민, 마을지도자의 인식변화에 미치는 효과를 살펴보았다. 역량강화 프로그램은 농업인과 지역주민, 마을리더의 인문사회적 특성을 고려하여 공통과정과 맞춤형 과정으로 구성하였다. 농업인은 농업비점오염 저감에 적용할 수 있는 시비관리와 배수 물고관리, 영농폐기물 관리, 친환경농업에 대한 내용으로 구성하였다. 마을주민은 고령화된 여성의 비율이 높은 것을 고려하여 분리수거, 쓰레기 문단투기 및 소각, 마을 미래상과 환경실천에 대해서 교육하였다. 마을리더에게는 공동체 활성화 리더쉽, 주체적 주민참여, 갈등관리에 대한 내용으로 구성하였다. 공통적으로는 비점오염원과 농업 비점오염원의 정의와 유형, 마을환경관리 실천활동, 친환경농업 선진지 견학으로 구성하였다. 교육프로그램은 2년 동안 진행되었으며 마을별로 방문하여 진행하였다. 농촌 마을에서 농업비점오염원 역량강화 교육 프로그램의 효과는 다음과 같다. 교육 전의 소극적 참여의사에서 적극적인 활동 참여로 발전하였으며, 비점오염원에 대한 인식 및 관리 필요성에 대한 인식이 개선되었다. 농업 비점오염원 보다는 일반적인 비점오염에 대한 인지효과가 높게 나타났다. 따라서 농촌지역에서 농업비점에 대한 인식 변화가 저감활동 실천으로까지 이루어지는 가시적 효과를 거두기 위해서는 장기간이 소요됨을 시사하였다.

This study is an investigation regarding the understanding of the nature of science among pre-service science teachers majoring in science education. We interviewed 22 senior students in science education who finished their internship courses. Students were interviewed individually for approximately 20 minutes each. Data from semi-structured interview were audio-recorded and transcribed for the analysis. Findings indicated that participants held more complete understanding of the nature of scientific knowledge than the nature of scientific enterprise. Their understandings of the nature of scientific method was that hypothetical-deductive method is more scientific than descriptive-narrative method and there is a single stepwise scientific method to solve problems. These results showed that they have a narrow view of the nature of science. Thus, teacher education programs need to integrate the understanding of the nature of science throughout.

This article is a part of a research on the elementary science curriculum development to enhance creative problem-solving abilities. The components of the curriculum have been identified as 'scientific knowledge', 'process skills' & 'divergent/critical thinking'. Among these components, construction of the scientific knowledge that enables creative problem-solving abilities has been selected as an intensive research topic for the purpose of the present research. To avoid or to prevent the knowledge learned from separate facts and concepts, five themes have been selected so as to incorporate with all three areas of the elementary science curriculum, i.e., physical science, earth science and life science. The five themes are, 'structure', 'change', 'interaction', 'energy' and 'stability'. The contents of elementary science, which have been selected from the 3rd, 6th and 7th National Elementary Science curriculum, were reconstructed based on the five themes given above. The results of reconstruction are presented in the form of matrix, such that the vertical axis represents how the concepts are related within each domain of science, while the horizontal axis shows how the concepts are interconnected between domains of science. Therefore, based upon the five themes, individual or separate knowledge can be put into more unified knowledge so that contribution of knowledge transfer to new ones can be expected for leaners who will be creative in problem-solving. The process and products of the curriculum development as well as the background of the present research are described and discussed in detail.

In this study, Korean middle school student science achievement results in the "Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study" (TIMSS 2003) were analyzed according to international benchmarks, content area, gender and student attitudes toward science. Overall Korea ranked the third internationally and had a mean score of 558. Korean students achieved top ranking in physics, but fell to the ninth place in chemistry. Unliked their counter parts in similar countries such as Singapore and Chinese Taipei, Korean students did not reach the highest benchmark. Compared to previous assessment, Korean girls showed improved performance; however, significant gender differences still exist in Korea; apparent from the better performance of boys than girls in the study. It is also noteworthy that Korean students were found to have the lowest self-confidence in learning science, a lower valuing science, and less enjoying learning science even though they produced high achievement scores.
