This study aims to analyze the characteristics of GIS-related test items of high school Korean Geography in the 7th National Education Curriculum, and to discuss some issues and challenges. First, we developed a framework for analyzing test items based on the literature review and the content analysis on the textbooks, which categorizes test items in terms of content elements and activity elements. Then, we examined test items of nation-wide tests including CSAT(College Scholastic Ability Test) carried out 2004-2012 and analyzed the percentage of correct answers as well. According to the results, there was a significant predominance of particular test item categories, and the percentage of correct answers of GIS-related items was slightly higher than whole average but it depended on the test item categories. Finally, we discussed the implications of this analysis to the tests as well as the teaching-learning process in the classroom, and suggested improvement directions such as integration of GIS with other contents, reinforcement of the inquiry-based test items, maintaining moderate difficulty.

This study aims to analyze the core contents of classical geomancy, and compromising the contemporary interpretation. Also it empahsizes the scientific aspects of reinterpretation. The cores are 'JiGi' and 'Balbok'(Positive change in fortune), followed by subjective methodology, which give a provision about right Pungsu place. Although there are weaknesses in terms of geomancy, scholars searching for classical geomancy have scientific ideas including traditional ecology and adative strategy. Traditional ecology with supported natural science becomes ecological science, and the adaptive strategy is to search for more physiologically comfortable place. These two reinterpretations give new perspective and subjects which lead to traditional view of nature or symbolic system. The subjects could have relationships with health or living a long life or heal.

This paper was written on the purpose of examining and analyzing Sungho's view of geography in 'Cheonjimun(天地門)', a part of 'Sunghosaseol(星湖僿說)'. Sungho is not a geographer who specialized in geography, His view is neither structural in methodological approach nor profound in geographical thought. Unfortunately, he looks to be possessed by geomantic thought(風水地理思想) in explaining geographical features and native customs. And he focused and emphasized only on defensive function in place location. As a whole, however, he had a good grasp of and analyzed about geographical topics which are related to human life and we must take interest in. Therefore, in his view, there is a love for country and hometown. Especially, it has to be highly appreciated that he tried to explain his view in analytical and practical perspective with an unspoken advice which things necessary for human life have to be used to available knowledge.

The critical point in this research is that the research on the phenomenon "teaching geography" should include how various elements consisting of the phenomenon are interrelated with each other in diverse angles, not deal with only teaching methods. This research focused on the relationships of the three components of teaching geography : contents of geography subject matter; learner; and scaffolding. Firstly, the characteristics of contents of geography subject matter were analyzed. Geographical knowledge was classified into four categories based on the way of perception. And then the selected geographic contents for this study were done didactic transposition into materials for geography education. These can be presented in a specific classification system from a context of geography education. Secondly, four categories of learning styles were divided by the way learners perceive and process information : Diverger; Assimilator; Converger; Accommodator. Each was connected with learner′s preferred contents of geography subject matter. The correlation between divergers and typical CulturalㆍHistorical Geography and Environmental Geography was high. So was between assimilators and typical Physical Geography and UrbanㆍEconomic Geography. Learners of Converger style tend to prefer GIS and Cartography. Finally, Regional Development and Regional Environmental Problems were highly correlated with accommodators.

This study attempts to summarize the progress of Journalistic Cartography and to investigate the quantitative growth and the transition of the forms and contents of the media maps in Korean newspapers. And this study examines the characteristics of media maps with the technological development. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, 'Jigujeondo' in Hanseongsunbo in 1880s is the first media map in Korea. Secondly, the number of the media maps in Korean newspapers is influenced by the political and economic environments. As the time goes, the contents of the media maps have been raried. Thirdly, the representation of the media maps has their own special characteristics according to the technological developments from the handwriting to CTS.

This paper is concerned with the problem of international approval of national parks in Korea. Much of the solution of this problem is to be found in planning and law. Therefore the provisions for planning in the Korean. Natural Park Law and 20 national park plans were analyzed in comparison with International criterion. Then an gradual changing model of zoning plan were proposed in order to improve the zoning plan of national parks in Korea and applied to Hallasan National Park. These model can be applied to change the zoning plans of national parks in Korea for international approval.

This study analyzed on the content validity of the Korean geography subject evaluation questions on the College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT) from 2014 to 2016 regarding the national curriculum achievement standards. The main results are as follows. First, from 'the knowledge dimension' aspect, both the achievement standard and the CSAT questions showed the highest ratio of 'factual knowledge'. Second, from 'the cognitive process dimension' aspect, the percentage of 'understand' was the highest in the achievement standard, whereas in the CSAT questions, the ratio of 'analyze' and complex type of 'analyze' and 'understand' was the highest. Third, in the result of the analysis of the content validity of the Korean geography CSAT questions through proportion test, all of the analysis targets showed 'a little low'. Finally, the content validity analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the main types of the achievement standards and the CSAT questions in the 'Geomorphological Environment and Ecosystem part' and 'Space of Production and Consumption part' from the cognitive process aspect, which showed relatively low content validity compared to other areas. The results of this study suggest that the achievement standards should be reflected on the Korean geography CSAT questions and it should not be focused on evaluating the learner's analysing ability.

레지오 접근법을 토대로 한 구성주의적 지리교육이 현실적 적실성을 갖기 위해서는, 첫째, 도식적 언어를 통한 상징적 표상을 지식 구성의 결과가 아닌 과정적 도구로, 또는 토론의 매개체로 전환하여야 한다. 둘째, 주제(선도) 개념을 중심으로 연계성과 위계성을 가진 개념을 조직하고, 이를 토대로 여러 차시의 내용을 연계하여 수업해야한다. 섯째, 개인적 구성보다 사회적 구성이 보다 고차적이고 심층적인 지식 구성을 가능케 한다. 따라서 구성주의 수업은 협동적.토론적인 모습일 때가 바람직하다. 넷째, 수업의 방향성과 학습의 목적성을 위해 안내자, 조력자로서 교사의 역할을 다하여야 한다. 이때 안내는 학습자 스스로 자신의 학습 목적과 방향을 판단하는 매개체로서, 그리고 사고력을 증진시키는 디딤돌로써의 안내이어야 한다. 다섯째. 선행학습에서의 구성과정과 구성맥락을 재 상기시키고, 이를 통해 구서의 지속성과 심층성을 강화하는 나선형적 구성의 절차를 반드시 밟도록 해야 한다.

본 연구는 전통적인 교사위주의 설명식 수업을 벗어나 인터넷을 학습에 보다 효과적으로 활용하는 방법을 모색해 보고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 인터넷을 통하여 정보를 수집한 후에 그 내용을 재구성하여 홈페이지를 구축한 후 실험수업을 실시하였다. 실험수업의 결과 전통적인 수업반보다 인터넷 홈페이지를 활용한 수업반 학생들의 학업성취수준이 훨씬 높게 나타났다. 한편 인터넷 홈페이지를 활용한 실험수업밥의 겨우 구조적 수업반에 비해 비구조적 수업반 학생들의 학습성취도가 더 높게 나타났으나 그 차이는 유의적이지 않았다. 또한 수업 흥미도, 만족도, 학습의욕 등에도 실험반 학생들은 상당히 긍정적인 평가를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 지리수업의 학습효과를 높이고 학생들의 흥미도를 높이기 위해서는 인터넷을 활용하는 수업형태가 바람직하다는 결과를 도출하였다. 특히 본 연구를 통해 앞으로 학생들의 학업성취도와 흥미도를 높이기 위해 인터넷을 수업에 활용하는 교수-학습설계의 개발이 필요함을 보여 주었다.

본 연구는 삶의 질에 관한 관점을 우리 나라 도시저소득층의 주거실태를 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 바탕으로 주거빈곤층의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 발전대안을 모색하도록 한다. 국내외 거의 모든 ‘삶의 질’선행연구에 있어 중요한 지표로서‘주택’,‘주거환경’,‘주거장소’등 주거에 관한 상이 포함되어 있다. 즉 삶의 질 연구에 있어 주택 및 주거환경은 가장 기본적이고 필수적 요소임을 확인할 수 있다. 주거빈곤을 기능적 측면, 경제적 측면, 최저주거기준 측면, 그리고 주거권 측면에서 분석하고, 한국의 주거빈곤실태를 파악하였다. 특히 서울을 비롯한 대도시의 주거빈곤층은 달동네.산동네라 불리는 불량주거지, 비닐하우스, 쪽방 등에 거주하며, 이들은 주로 주택점유 형태상 전세, 보증부월세, 월세 등의 임차가구의 대부분을 차지한다. 삶의 질과 주거환경개선을 위한 발전대안 모색을 위해 주거분야 ‘삶의 질 지표’를 제안하였다. 지표의 내용으로 주택 그 자체뿐 아니라 주거기능이 원활하도록 하는 공공서비스, 안전 등의 광의적 접근이 필요함을 강조하였다. 아울러 삶의 질에 관련된 정책과제를 해결하기 위해서는 적어도 네 가지 부문(정부, 민간부문, NGO/CBO, 주민)별 각자의 역할을 강조하였다.
