본 연구의 목적은 한국 중 고등학교 학생들의 지적 발달의 특성을 조사 분석함으로써 교과서 및 교육과정의 개발에 필요한 기초자료를 얻으려는 것이다. 지역, 학년, 연령, 성 및 가정의 사회 경제적 지위에 따른 인지 발달 특성을 조사하였다. 연구의 대상은 전국을 대도시, 중 소도시, 농촌으로 유층화한 유층군집 표집방법에 의해 표집한 중학교 1학년부터 고등학교 2학년까지의 남 녀 학생이었다. 표집학생 수는 중학교가 18개교 54학급 3,164명이었고, 고등학교가 18개교 36학급 1,981명이었다. 가정의 사회 경제적 지위는 가정의 경제적 형편, 부의 직업, 부의 학력, 가정의 수입 정도를 고려하여 4계층으로 구분하였다. 사용된 도구는 지적 영역의 조사에 Piaget의 인지발달이론에 따른 논리발달 검사를 이용했다. 분석된 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 명제논리, 확률논리, 조합논리, 변인조작개념은 연령과 학년이 높아질수록, 대도시로 갈수록, 사회 경제적 지위가 높을수록 더욱 발달하는 경향이다. 둘째, 개념의 발달경향에 있어서 이원추리와 조합논리개념의 발달이 확률논리와 명제논리 개념의 발달보다 빠른 경향이다. 셋째, 한국의 중등학생 중에서 12세의 64.6%, 13세의 58.1%, 14세의 43.8%, 15세의 30.1%, 16세의 22.6%가 구체적 조작 후기에 도달해 있다. 넷째, 중등학생의 학년별 인지발달경향을 보면 중1의 69.8%, 중2의 51.1%, 중3의 47.4%, 고1의 21.6%, 고2의 21.7%가 구체적 후기의 발달수준이다.

The purpose of this study was to construct an issue-centered discussion instructional model for Home Economics and to determine its effect on middle school students' critical thinking. The research questions were posed as below. 1) The object and content of home economics in the 7th national middle school curricula are analyzed to sort out possible issues. 2) An issue-centered discussion instructional model is constructed to be applicable to middle school home economics class. and a lesson plan is prepared. 3) The effect of the issue-centered discussion instructional model developed in this study on student critical thinking faculty is examined. The findings of this study were as follows : First. seven criteria were selected to determine what types of issues were applicable to home economics lesson. Based on the selected criteria. 41 themes of issues were extracted from the 7th middle school textbooks. and their content validity was verified. Second, an issue-centered discussion instructional model was designed to deal with four themes in eight sessions in the procedure of problem raising, confirming, term defining. tentative alternative selecting, data gathering. discussing/critical approaching. and selecting/concluding. Third, two different third-year classes of K middle school in the city of Busan that consisted of 75 students were respectively selected as an experimental group and a control group, and the experiment was conducted in eight sessions for five weeks to see whether the teaching plan brought any changes to the critical mind of the students. The experimental group exposed to the issue-centered discussion lesson made a significant progress in critical thinking faculty(P＜.05). In particular. that instruction gave a favorable impact on demonstration evaluating(P＜.05). one of the critical thinking subfactors. When the students were asked to assess the issue-centered discussion lesson. most of them viewed it favorably. In the future, more research efforts should be dedicated to enhancing the practical applicability of issue-centered discussion instruction in home economics education. developing good evaluation tools about critical thinking faculty and finding out how discussion instruction could be conducted more efficiently.

And among the six of the detailed contents, "How to Wear Traditional Korean Clothes" and "Functions of Clothes", took up the largest space. In additions, the types of students activities and methods of implementing and how to performing tasks vary depending on publishing companies and detailed contents of areas. As a result, 'individual activities', 'structured problem', and 'problems that require prior home-based experience' were most common types of activities. Based on this study, it is suggested to increase the number of small group activities and the activities that require diverse problem-solving methods.

The purpose of this study is to develop teaching learning process plans with problem-based learning using book-making applying to the "Dressing and Self Expression" unit and evaluate its effect in middle school home economics for first grade. We developed teaching learning process plans with problem-based learning using book-making including 9 teaching materials for teachers and 15 learning materials for students. Further, we conducted and investigated pre- and post-tests in a form of questionnaires in 167 students from a girls' middle school in Pusan. Teaching learning process plans with problem-based learning using book-making showed positive results in body satisfaction, such as reduction in distortion or less dissatisfaction regarding students' body images. Also, they were found to be less affected by sociocultural attitude towards appearance. The estimation of students included the positive contents that the class was interested with various materials and it provided them with a chance to understand their body. Meanwhile, minor comments pointed out lack of time and complained of the amount of assignments. With these results, we found that teaching learning process plans with problem-based learning using book-making was an appropriate model to achieve the purpose of this study and we suggested that this class might be applied to other units of middle school home economics.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the teachers' recognition on the optimization of the educational contents of Clothing & Textiles in subjects of :he Practical Arts or the Technology & Home Economics in the course of elementary, middle and high schools. The statistical data for this research were collected from 203 questionnaires of teachers who work on elementary, middle and high schools. Mean. standard deviation, percentage were calculated using SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. Also. these materials were verified by t-test, One-way ANOVA and post verification Duncan. The results were as follows; First, The equipment ratio of practice laboratory were about 24% and very poor in elementary schools but those of middle and high school were 97% and 78% each and higher than elementary schools. Second, More than 50% of teachers recognized the amount of learning 'proper'. The elementary school teachers recognized the mount of learning in 'operating sewing machines' too heavy especially, the same as middle school teachers in 'making shorts': the same as high school teachers in 'making tablecloth and curtain' and 'making pillow cover or bag'. Third, All of the elementary, middle and high school teachers recognized the levels of total contents of clothing and textiles 'common'. The 80% of elementary school teachers recognized 'operating sewing machines' and 'making cushions' difficult especially. The same as middle school teachers in 'hand knitting handbag by crochet hoop needle', 'the various kinds of cloth' and 'making short pants'. The same as high school teachers in 'making tablecloth or curtain'. Fourth, Elementary school teachers recognized 'practicing basic hand needlework' and 'making pouch using hand needlework' important in the degree of educational contents importance. Middle school teachers recognized 'making short pants unimportant. High school teachers considered the contents focusing on practice such as 'making tablecloth and curtain' and 'making pillow cover or bags' unimportant. My suggestions were as follows; Both laboratories and facilities for practice should be established for making clothing and textiles lessons effective in Practical Arts in elementary schools. The 'operating sewing machines' which were considered difficult should be dealt in upper grade, re-conditioning to easier or omitted. The practical contents should be changed to student-activity-oriented and should be recomposed in order to familiar with students' living. It was needed to various and sufficient supports for increasing the teachers' practical abilities.

본 논문에서는 가상 현실 (VR) 기술을 적용하여 3차원의 가상 공간에서 일체의 실 험 도구 없이 중학교 전과정의 물리 실험을 할 수 있는 시스템의 개발에 대해 기술한다. 이 시스템의 목표는 가정과 학교에서 피교육자가 3차원 그래픽과 실시간 동작 및 상호 작용을 통해 실제와 유사한 실험을 함으로써 그 교육 및 학습 효과를 증대시키는데 있다. 이 시스 템에서 다루는 내용은 중학교 물상 교과목 전반에 걸쳐 엄선한 실험들로 단순히 보여주거나 들려주는 단방향적인 교육이 아닌 피교육자가 직접 참여할 수 있는 실험이 되도록 하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 피교육자의 학습 동기를 유발하고 학습 효과를 최대화 할 수 있다.
