The 7th science curriculum has the characteristics of humanistic philosophy of education. The humanistic curriculum emphasized learner-centered education, which claims to stand for learners' experiences. This study searched for the significances of the 7th science curriculum, and discussed its tasks and perspectives based on the backgrounds, characteristics, and objectives mentioned in the history of reforming science curriculum. The 7th science curriculum emphasizes learners' experiences and everyday life materials are favored in teaching-learning activities. For the desirable effects related to this commitment, pre-service and in-service training programs are required about the social elements in the nature of science, and everyday life contexts should be examined in views of educational and cognitive perspectives, so the contextual differences between science and everyday life should be clarified.

In this study, searched how science museum reflects personality of course of study and target comparing display contents of science museum with high school earth science Ⅰand Ⅱ of the 7th curriculum. Result of this study is as following. First, area that earth science contents of course of study are exhibited has been less than 50%, and is preponderated by unit. Second, earth science course of study reflection degree of science museum is middle.(2.8 points of perfect score 5 points) Third, number of average mark of contents that is exhibited by science museum in significance level 0.05 lows is difference, and it is no difference by unit.

This study was to analyze the subject objectives of Middle school 7th grade Science textbooks based on the Korean 7th curriculum by using Klopfer’s taxonomic system and find out how much compatible they were with the requiring objectives of the curriculum. Particularly, this study makes educational objectives for textbooks coherent wit the requiring objectives of the curriculum, through the analysing the problems. The results are follows. The Middle school science educational objective of the 7th curriculum sets up almost of the objectives through all of the domains of the Klopfer’s taxonomy system, except the operational function (Category G.0), and emphasizes on emotionable domain (Category $H.0\~I.0$) more. However, comparing with an encouragement objective rate of NSTA, Middle school Science textbooks based on the 7th curriculum were published putting more importance in a cognitive domain, and the intention objective (Category I.0) was not mentioned.

The purpose of this study is to examine the Earth science content relevance of the 7th national science curriculum. For this purpose, we (1) analyzed science curriculum or content standards of Korea, California, England and Japan, (2) compared science textbooks of Korea and Japan, (3) conducted a nationwide survey to gather opinions from students, teachers, professors and textbook authors about the relevance of the science curriculum and textbooks. According to the results, the Earth science contents of the 7th national science curriculum were not appropriate in terms of the objectives of science curriculum and the needs of students and society. The main reasons include the equal division among physics, chemistry, biology and earth science, iack of connection due to fractionation of units, overly strict application of spiral curriculum, and redundant amount of activities and concepts to cover in the textbook. Major suggestions fir securing the relevance of Earth science contents are as follows: First, the science contents and the size of units at each grade level should be determined according to the students' characteristics, not by equal portion rule. Second, the excessive overlapping and repetition of contents due to the spiral curriculum should be avoided. In addition, the number of activities should be reduced and the quality of required science activities should be improved. Third, to raise students' interest in Earth science, real-life applications and real-world Earth science contents should be emphasized including natural disasters, safety, universe and space exploration, and natural resources. Lastly, considering one of the relevance criteria is feasibility, supports for schools and science teachers are needed to realize the goal of the intended science curriculum.

The purpose of this study is to survey the status of the 7th elective-centered curriculum and find problems in operating the system. 485 students in the tenth and eleventh grade were randomly selected as subjects. The results are as follows. (1) Among the students, 29% of them selected their science subject without considering their future jobs, 48% did it without enough overview of the system, and 25% did without clearly understanding the details the choice centered curriculum. (2) Among the students who participated in the survey, 65% of them showed positive responses concerning the needs of individual choice centered curriculum and 96% said it increased their participation in class. However, only 39% believed that operating this type of curriculum is realistically possible. (3) 89% of students selected their science subjects accordingly with the college preparatory courses and 14% selected based on their hopes. (4) The percentage of science subjects chosen are 40% for chemistry, 25% for biology, 22% for Physics, and 13% for earth science, but 74% of students wanted to change their choices. These results showed that students recognized the object of the 7th curriculum, but selected science subjects as a means of getting into college entrances, rather than carefully considering their future and aptitude.

최근 나타나고 있는 이공계기피 현상으로 인해 우리나라 과학계 및 과학교육은 큰 위기를 맞고 있다. 21세기 국가의 생존을 위해서는 과학기술의 발전이 그 무엇보다도 중요하다. 과학기술 기반을 튼튼히 하기 위해서는 과학기술계에 종사할 적절한 수준의 인적자원이 필요하며, 이와 같은 인적자원 육성은 초중등학교 과학교육에서 기초가 다져진다고 할 수 있다. 교육과정은 학교 교육의 기본 설계도라고 할 수 있기 때문에 교육과정이 어떻게 개정되느냐에 따라 초중등학교의 과학교육은 엄청난 영향을 받게 된다. 현재 제7차 교육과정이 전면적으로 시행되고 있으나 국가${\cdot}$사회의 다양한 요구에 의해 교육과정 개정이 불가피하게 되었으며, 이에 따라 교육인적자원부는 교육과정 개정을 추진하고 있다. 이와 같은 중요한 시기에 우리 나라 과학교육의 문제점과 발전 방안을 모색하는 것은 매우 의미 있는 일이 다.
