The purposes of this study are to develop cyber home study program on consumer life for youth in middle school students and to compare the learning effect of this program with that of teacher's off-line lecture in class. The contents of the middle school Home Economics. Technology textbooks was analyzed. Based on this analysis 4 cyber home study lesson plans on youth's consumer life were developed. The topics of lesson plan were as 'youth and consumer behavior', 'utilizing consumer information'. 'effective consumer choice', 'resolving consumer problems'. The cyber home study were composed of 5 steps which were 'guiding' $\rightarrow$ 'learning activities' $\rightarrow$ 'evaluation' $\rightarrow$ 'further study' $\rightarrow$ 'summery'. The second grade middle school students as an experimental group participated in cyber home study through on-line class. The control group of students who had same condition with the experimental group were taught by home economics teacher using traditional instructional methods in off-line class. After the experiment, the changes in consumer's attitudes and knowledge of both groups were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance. The significant improvements of consumer's attitudes and knowledge were found in both the experimental and control groups of students. However, the consumer's attitudes and knowledge of the students who were taught by the teacher in off-line class improved more than those of the students who studied using cyber home study program in on-line class. Thus, the following conclusion is made that the cyber home study could be one of the useful learning methods to aid traditional off-line teaching in class.

최근에 중등학교 학내 전산망에서 동영상 위주의 멀티미디어 학습 자료를 이용한 학습이 많아짐에 따라, 실제 수업 시간이나 자율 학습 시간에 동영상 학습 자료를 활용했을 때 트래픽 특성이 구체적으로 어떻게 나타나는 지를 정량적으로 규명하는 것이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 고등학교 1개교와 중학교 1개교에 대해 동영상 학습 자료를 이용한 학습 시 학내 전산망에서 나타나는 트래픽 특성을 트래픽 분석 도구를 이용하여 분석하였다. 특히, 학교 내에 자체 웹 서버의 유무, 컴퓨터 접속 대수 등을 주요 변인으로 하여 동영상 실행 시 나타나는 현상들에 대한 측정 결과들을 제시하였다. 측정 결과로부터 다음과 같은 특성들을 얻어낼 수 있었다. 첫째, 학교 내에 자체 웹 서버의 유무가 전송 트래픽 량에 상당한 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 동시 컴퓨터 접속 대수의 증가가 끊김 현상과 같은 트래픽 특성에 영향을 주었다. 이러한 측정 및 분석 결과를 볼 때, 적게는 수십 명 많게는 수백 명의 학생이 동시에 인터넷을 통해 학습을 한다면 학내 전산망의 구성 형태나 동시 접속자 수에 따라 원활한 학습을 가져오지 못하고 많은 문제를 가져 올 것으로 예상되었다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of students' academic achievement of middle school science curriculum achievement standards in the 2009 revised national curriculum and to generate implications for curriculum improvement. Based on the results of the 2015-2018 National Assessment of Educational Achievement (NAEA), we analyzed middle school students' mastery of 84 curriculum achievement standards. In the analysis, we used representative item information by achievement level and correct answer rate and checked the validity of the determination of mastery. According to the results of the analysis, 15 of the 84 achievement standards could not determine the degree of achievement. In science, many achievement standards could be mastered only by above-average group students. By achievement level, there were six achievement standards that advanced achievement-level students did not achieve, 38 achievement standards judged to represent mastery by advanced achievement-level students, 23 achievement standards judged to represent mastery by proficient achievement-level students, and two achievement standards judged to represent mastery by basic achievement-level students. By content area, the number of achievement standards corresponding to advanced and proficient levels was similar in the areas of motion and energy and earth and space domains. In the material and life domains, there were more achievement standards corresponding to advanced levels. Accordingly, it is necessary to reinforce customized teaching and learning activities in relation to achievement standards that were under-achieved.

Introducing algorithm and programming education to the middle school 'Information' curriculum is appropriate to develop higher thinking skills like problem solving ability and creativity that is the most important ability to the people living in the knowledge and information society. But to providing reduced algorithm and programming contents of higher education increase the cognitive burden on the students in the concrete operational period who is not yet reached to the formal operational period, and moreover transfering principles and strategies learned in the algorithm to the programming for the problem solving is difficult. For this study, student's developmental characteristics in the concrete operational period among cognitive developmental periods was considered, and FAAP(First-Algorithm After-Programming) learning model which can transfer algorithm to programming was developed, and finally the effectiveness of learning motivation and achievement to the concrete operational period's students was verified. Results of the tests showed that learning motivation and achievement of the concrete operational period's students that learned FAAP model were different significantly.

One of the characteristics of the informatics subject implementing the revised national curriculum is to develop the practical attitude of the student as an active member of information society. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the units 'Information Society and IT' in middle school informatics textbooks reflect inquisitive tendencies to student's practice. After four textbooks that were widely selected by schools were selected from among the authorized textbooks, the sentences of the selected textbooks were analyzed by utilizing Romey's analysis method to see whether there was such an inquisitive tendency in them. As a result of analyzing six content elements of the textbooks, one textbook and two textbooks had an inquisitive tendency in three elements or more in terms of texts and activities index respectively. But there was no inquisitive tendency in the textbooks in terms of figure/diagrams, questions at the end of chapters and chapter synthesis. This study is meaningful in that it attempted to make a quantitative analysis of middle school informatics textbooks and to investigate an inquisitive tendency in the textbooks by analyzing every statement and sentence instead of analyzing just some parts of the textbooks.

Abstract In informatics subject, a good understanding of information representation and the structure of materials is the first step to acquire the basic principles of computer science. But few studies have ever focused on the educational significance of the structure of materials in informatics subject or how to organize materials in a manner to stimulate students to introspect. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the 'information representation and management' sections of informatics textbooks of the revised 2007 curriculum that have been in use since 2010 had an inquiry tendency or not. As a result of analyzing the textbooks by utilizing Romey method, one textbook was found to have an inquiry tendency in terms of texts, figures/diagrams, activities and questions at the end of chapters. If textbooks are just organized to convey knowledge, it might result in making students less interactive in class. Specifically, informatics is a subject to teach basic problem-solving skills by using IT, and the findings of the study suggest that students who get less interactive in class are likely to have less chances to learn about how to solve the given problems in diverse ways.

The purpose of this study was to extract hierarchical learning elements in the area of 'Algorithms and Programming' in the 2022 revised secondary informatics curriculum. Intrinsic validity was secured by considering the core ideas presented in the curriculum and the content elements of 'knowledge/understanding', 'process/skills', and 'values/attitudes', and extrinsic validity of the learning elements was obtained through FGI and CVR with 25 experts. The learning elements derived from this study are 7 in the first stage, 18 in the second stage, and 26 in the third stage for middle schools, and 8 in the first stage, 23 in the second stage, and 27 in the third stage for high schools. Although the scope and size of knowledge in each stage may differ, the hierarchy of knowledge in the first stage, which is materialized in the second and third stages, provides direction on how knowledge should be taught. This study is expected to contribute to the implementation of the new curriculum in schools and to improve teachers' understanding of the curriculum.
