The purpose of this study was to investigate research trends of Japanese earth science education published in Chigakukyouiku by the Japan Society of Earth Science Education. A total of 129 articles published in the Journal between 1998 and 2003 were analyzed. The Journal published six issues each year, and each issue contained about four articles that were fewer numbers than Journal of the Korean Earth Science Society's. About Sixty percent of the papers were written by a single author. Analyzing the content of the papers, it was noted that the most articles were geology-related (41.1%) followed by oceanography-related (1.6%) and general science education papers (1.6%). In summary, the characteristics of research trends of Japanese earth science education are as follows: First, the most topics of the papers were related to environmental sciences including earthquake, volcano, and tsunami. This trend seems natural because Japanese schools are situated within the reach of these environmental events. Second, there found many papers that dealt with geological field trip or fossils adjacent to the local community. Third, there were several papers that established a relationship between environmental education and earth science education. Obviously these papers tried to incorporate environmental education into earth science education at the school level. Last but not least, there found an effort to introduce computer into earth science education as an innovative educational method, for example, 'computer and earth science education'.

The recognition for future global environment was studied targeting the university students who will be grown as general public composing our society in this study. The rate recognizing as the complex space of natural objects and artifacts is very low for non-science majored university students. Also, the rate recognizing global environment change from now to the future as negative. The environment recognition should be changed as that the university students can imagine the human live together with the nature in the image of future global environment. The environment education find out and practice the method that human can co-exist together to the direction of co-exist with the nature. Also, the rate internalizing future global environment as the space the human amends for non-science majored university students. This result is interpreted as shown the point of view that the global environment can be improved by the human activity, and it suggests the direction of environment education the university should supply. The environment education direction should be converted from the eduction of environment or the eduction from environment to the education for environment. The opportunity for global environment education should be provided to all university students without the discrimination on the major in the university education course. Sustainable global environment eduction is necessary for our son and daughter live on the earth continuously.

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.

지구과학은 자연과학 중에서 야외 현장에서 자연 현상의 관찰과 조사를 기초로 하는 학문이다. 특히 지질학 분야는 야외 조사를 통해 학생 스스로 탐구하고 문제를 발견함으로써 자연에 대한 흥미와 관심을 갖게 하여 지질학적 현상을 이해하게 한다. 그러나, 충북 지역에서 개발된 야외지질학습장의 부재와 입시위주의 교육환경으로 인하여 교사들은 한정된 범위에서 야외 현장 학습을 계획 및 실시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 교사들에게 실제 야외학습의 패러다임을 사용한 야외학습장을 개발하여 지구과학 교육과정 중 야외학습의 교육적 자료로 제공 될 수 있도록 하였으며, 이러한 학습장을 토대로 지구과학교육에 야외학습을 쉽게 응용 할 수 있도록 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 다양한 암석과 지질구조를 가지고 있고, 지리적으로 접근이 편리한 단양군 일대를 야외학습장으로 선정 하였다. 단양군 일대의 야외지질 학습코스에는 앨걸마운드, 어란석, 주상도 작성(석회암층군과 충식석회암), 두족류화석, 부정합관계에 놓인 역암층의 5개의 관찰지점이 있으며 실제 현장에서 각 관찰 지점별로 학생들이 활동할 수 있도록 야외지질 학습 자료를 제시하였다.
