The purpose of this paper was analyzing the contents of life science area in elementary science textbooks according to Korean science curricula change to get suggestions for the advancement of science curriculum. The framework of content analysis was developed by revising TIMSS 2015 life science evaluation framework. The results of this research were as follows: 'The differences of living things and non-living things appearing in the first grade mostly were not included in the 1st, the 6th and the 2009 revised curricula. Contents emphasizing rural life were appeared from 'Teaching themes period' to the 2nd curriculum period, disappeared from the 3rd curriculum period until the 2009 revised curriculum. Contagious disease was emphasized in all elementary grades in the 1st curriculum period, which reflected a social phenomena emphasizing health and hygiene after the Korean War. Mostly fungus was included until the 7th curriculum period and bacteria and virus were added from the 2007 revised curriculum period. The way of improving health was emphasized continuously.' The differences of living things and non-living things should be included in elementary science curriculum for the correct 'life' concept formation of elementary students. 'Strategies for helping the living of descendants' and 'the heredity of animal and plant' which were appeared in the lower grades, should be included at the higher grades with greater depth. The incoming elementary science textbooks also need to include science contents about evolution in greater depth, along with human health.

This study was conducted on 115 students from 4 classes of 2nd year intensive courses at B University of Education. Elementary preservice teachers were surveyed on what teaching methods they were aware of regarding the subject of elementary science astronomy. Recognition data of 80 people from whom the questionnaire was collected were analyzed. For this study, a 5-day survey was conducted. Elementary preservice teachers complained of difficulties in teaching methods in the astronomy area among various areas of the science department. The purpose of this study was to find out what difficulties elementary preservice teachers have in teaching elementary science astronomy topics, and to find more efficient teaching methods for teaching astronomy topics. The topic of the survey was set by discussing with the preparatory elementary teachers about what kind of survey to use in teaching the subject of elementary science astronomy. There are many topics for elementary science astronomy, but two questionnaires were prepared focusing on the unit on the earth and the moon. 'What does the earth look like?' in Unit 4 (1/10) of the 3rd year, 1st semester In Unit 2 (1/11) of the 1st semester of the 6th grade, it was set as 'What does the moon look like?'. Candidly describe how to teach the subject of astronomy to elementary school students by mobilizing all the background knowledge of preparatory elementary teachers. The results of these surveys were visualized and displayed using Netminer as a language analysis method, and the contents of the responses to the actual surveys by pre-service elementary school teachers were described and interpreted. Based on these results, preparatory elementary teachers tried to suggest a more efficient teaching method for the subject of elementary science astronomy. In addition, basic procedures and methods for lecturing on the subject of elementary science astronomy were presented. A more efficient teaching method for teaching elementary science astronomy subjects to pre-service elementary teachers was suggested.

Recently, elementary schools has assigned students information communication technology class for 1 hour in every week, all more than 34 hours a year during the discretion activity classes in every grades. However, the guidelines for information communication technology class is only suggested, but the teaching materials that can be used in the information communication technology class are not various. We did an analysis of a guide to information communication technique education that the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development announced. And then, We developed the materials which can improve fifth and sixth grade children's creativity. We tried to find out how this materials affect their creativity.

Recently, use of smartphones has increased so sharply at all ages that addiction problems have emerged. This study analysed factors, focusing on demographic variables, that impact on smartphone addiction of elementary students. First, differences between distributions of addicted groups and those between distributions of most frequently used smartphone functions per variable are analyzed. As a result, grade and academic achievements yield the biggest differences between distributions of addicted groups and gender, grade, and academic achievements yield differences between distributions of most frequently used smartphone functions. Also, differences between distributions of most frequently used smartphone functions per addicted user group are regarded significant. Furthermore, factors affecting smartphone addiction are analysed through the logistic regression analysis and decision trees, where grade, academic achievements, dual-income parents, and residential areas are found affecting in that order.

The purpose of this study was analysis on types of strategies and errors when the sixth grade students were solving proportion problems of mathematics textbooks. For this study, proportion problems in mathematics textbooks were investigated and 17 representative problems were chosen. The 277 students of two elementary schools solved the problems. The types of strategies and errors in solving proportion problems were analyzed. The result of this study were as follows; The percentage of correct answers is high if the problems could be solved by proportional expression and the expression is in constant rate. But the percentage of correct answers is low, if the problems were expressed with non-constant rate.

오늘날 정보화 사회로의 변화로 인하여 컴퓨터와 인터넷이 우리 일상생활에서 차지하는 비중이 갈수록 커지고 있으며 제7차 교육과정 사회과에서도 최근 컴퓨터 통신과 인터넷의 발달로 새로운 형태의 지역화 자료의 유형과 활용 방안이 중요시되고 있다. 본 연구에서 개발한 웹 기반 지역화 학습 시스템은 정보화 시대의 요구에 부응하여 초등학교 3학년 사회과 교육과정을 중심으로 경기도 평택 지역의 내용을 학습할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 현재 학교 현장에서 주된 학습 자료로 쓰이고 있는 초등학교 3학년 지역화 보조 교과서 외에 학생들이 자기 주도적으로 웹에서 활용할 수 있는 학습 시스템을 제작함으로써 부족한 지역 자료를 제공한다.

학교 교육에서 문해력과 수리력에 비해 그 중요성이 간과되고 있는 공간 지각 능력과 도해력을 학습하기 위해서 학습자 중심의 지도 그리기 교육이 실제화 되어야 한다. 따라서 이 글에서는 보다 더 실제적 이고 효과적인 지도교육을 위한 지도그리기모듈을 구현하고자 한다. 특히 사회과의 경우 사고의 방법과 과정을 중요시 하는 교육목표를 가지고 있기 때문에, 현재의 저학년 초등교과교육 중 지도 그리기 학습의 문제점을 살펴보고 구체적 조작기의 아동을 위한 공간 능력의 향상과 구체물의 평면화 등 지도 그리기 교육의 목표를 수월하게 도달하기 위한 모듈을 구현하여 초등 지리 교육의 수월성과 함께 학습자의 수준에 맞는 흥미로운 학습을 도모하고자 한다.

One of the major results of National Assessment of Educational Achievement in 2003 is that the final test results were reported by four levels such as Advanced, Proficient, Basic, and Below Basic. We used it to investigate into the characteristics of students according to achievement levels, and finally we listed them. We think that these results will be a help to instructions according to achievement levels.

In this study, we suggest implications for teaching mathematical justification with analysis of 6th grade students' awareness of why they needed mathematical justification and their levels of mathematics justification in Algebra and Geometry. Also how their levels of mathematical justification were related to mathematic achievement. 96% of students thought mathematical justification was needed, the reasons were limited for checking their solutions and answers. The level of mathematical justification in Algebra was higher than in Geometry. Students who had higher mathematic achievement had higher levels of mathematical justification. In conclusion, we searched the possibility of teaching mathematical justification to students, and we found some practical methods for teaching.

자기 주위의 상황과 그 물체에 대한 직감(intutive feeling)을 뜻하는 공간감각은 수학교육의 기본적인 구성요소로서, 수학과 과학에서 다른 영역을 공부하기 위한 도구로 사용될 수 있고, 주위의 구조와 대칭성을 볼 수 있게 도우며, 모든 수학에서 창의적 사고를 지원한다. 우리나라에서도 2000학년도부터 연차적으로 실시되는 제 7차 수학과 교육과정의 도형여역에 ‘공간감각 기르기’를 신설하여 그 중요성을 강조하였다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 미국의 공간감각 지도의 변천과 우리나라 제 7차 교육과정의 공간감각 영역의 학습 내용을 비교, 우리나라 7차 교육과정의 공간감각영역의 학습내용을 살피고, 현행 7차 교육과정에 의거 초등학교 2학년의 공간감각 영역의 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습과정을 실제 적용, 이후 아동의 학습 추이를 살펴봄으로써, 앞으로 우리나라 초등학교 아동의 공간감각 형성을 위한 여러 가지 지도방법을 제시하고자 한다. 결론 및 제언에서는 이러한 수업으로 얻어진 결과를 토대로 하여 제 7차 교육과정에서 공간감각 영역의 적용에 대한 시사점을 몇 가지 기술하였다.
