This study is the subsequent study that has the objectives examining the relationships among 'substantive understanding', 'scientific literacy' and 'learning intention' in computer supported intentional learning environments and inquiry ability, variables for affecting knowledge construction derived from the finding out of the former study. As a result, the current study confirmed in CSILE the close correlation between 'the learning intention for scientific inquiry' and 'substantive understanding', between 'the learning intention for scientific inquiry' and 'scientific literacy'. Another result showed that 'scientific literacy' was the most significant predictor on inquiry ability. Base on the result of this study, the present researcher is about to make suggestions to stimulate learners' scientific literacy in CSILE-based inquiry learning.

본 연구에서는 고등학생들의 창의성을 신장시키고자 렌줄리의 3단계 학습모형에 적용하여 전향력 탐구활동 프로그램을 개발 하였고, 현장에 적용 후 그 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 실험집단에는 창의성 신장을 위한 전향력 탐구활동 프로그램을 적용하였고, 통제집단에는 전통적인 교수 학습을 적용하였다. 창의성의 신장 정도와 전향력 개념의 이해 정도를 측정하고자 사전 사후 검사로 창의성은 토렌스의 창의성 검사(TTCT)로, 전향력 개념은 성취도 검사로 알아보았다. 그 결과 실험집단이 전향력 개념 성취도 검사 결과 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나고, 창의성 검사(TTCT)에서도 실험집단의 사전 검사보다 사후 검사에서 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 학생들이 본 수업 프로그램의 과정을 통해 평소 어렵다고 생각했던 전향력 개념을 쉽게 이해할 수 있었기 때문이다. 이러한 연구 결과는 전향력 탐구 활동 프로그램은 고등학생들의 창의성을 신장시키고 전향력 개념에 대한 이해도를 높일 수 있었다고 볼 수 있다.

In this study, we investigated the perception of elementary school students on inquiry activities and collaborative problem-solving ability in data-based scientific inquiry. For this purpose, 20 data-based scientific inquiry classes were conducted in 26 elementary school students in Gyeongnam City. After selecting the inquiry problem, students conducted an inquiry process to collect data using digital inquiry instruments. The following results were obtained through questionnaires and interviews after the classes: First, students perceived the step on 'inquiry design and execution' as the most useful in the data-based scientific inquiry. Second, students perceived that their scientific ability and cooperation improved through data-based scientific inquiry, with the selection of inquiry problems being the most difficult. Third, students perceived positively the improvement of cooperative problem-solving ability. From the above results, it was found that data-based scientific inquiry is necessary to improve the elementary school students' scientific inquiry ability and cooperative problem-solving ability. Based on this research, we hope that the development and research of various inquiry activities will provide opportunities for inquiry that can cultivate various abilities needed for students living in the future.

We studied what kind of science-contents problems can also give information on one's creativity for use in the selection of scientifically gifted. 383 7th and 8th graders as subjects, we first analyzed the corelation between the results of creative thinking, scientific attitude, science inquiry, logical thinking and the scientific creativity problem solving skill test. The corelation analysis indicated that science inquiry test could represent other tests except TTCT. We then tested 532 6th graders with TTCT and science inquiry tests concomitantly with the contents- related problems made in such types as naming 20 scientists, writing about a scientist, imagination to overcome a problem, understanding of theory and application and understanding of science laws and application. The results indicated that writing and imagination were most efficient in assessing both the contents and the creativity.

6차 교육과정부터는 과학 교육에서 학생들의 학습 목표를 과학 개념에 대한 이해 뿐 아니라 탐구 사고력 및 기능 향상도 중요한 목표로서 취급하고 있다(교육부, 1992). 그런데 학생의 탐구 사고력을 향상시킬 수 있는 과학교육이 제대로 이루어지지 못하고 있는 것이 현재의 실정이다. Schwab(1961)가 탐구 학습의 단계를 분류하면서 지적한 바 있듯이 탐구는 주어진 과제를 해결하는 고정적 탐구보다는 스스로 과제를 설정하고 이를 해결하려 하는 유동적 탐구가 더 바람직한 방향이며, 이러한 유형의 탐구를 통하여 학생들은 창의성의 신장과 함께 과학적탐구가 이루어지는 과정을 더 올바르게 이해할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 탐구의 상황을 학교 실험실만이 아닌 좀 더 생활 주변의 여러 가지 경험과 관련된 쪽으로 안내하는 것도 필요하다. 최근 활발한 컴퓨터의 보급과 인터넷 환경의 확대로 인하여 학생들이 이러한 환경에서 교사와 직접 동일한 시간, 동일한 장소에서 대면하지 않고도 의사소통하고 교수-학습이 이루어질 수 있는 기회가 사회적으로 가능해지고 있다. 이러한 원격교육은 교사의 안내에 따른 탐구 교수 형태의 개념 확인 및 검증 실험이 대부분인 전통적 과학학습 방법과 달리 학생 스스로 문제를 찾고 해결하려고 시도하는 것을 통하여 과학적 탐구 기능의 향상은 물론 과학적 개념의 획득, 과학, 사회, 기술에 대한 폭넓은 인식을 형성하는데 도움이 된다. 또한 인터넷 환경을 이용하면 학교 실험실 상황을 벗어나 학생들에게 다양한 탐구 활동 기회를 제공할 수 있고, 또한 그에 따른 의사 소통이 더 용이해질 수 있다. 이에 따라서 본 연구에서는 탐구 과정기술과 사고력을 중시하는 초등학교 과학과목의 특성을 고려하여 이에 적합한 인터넷 원격교수-학습을 위한 교수-학습 모형과 학생들의 과학적 탐구력과 사고력을 신장시킬 수 있는 멀티미디어 학습자료를 개발하고, 이를 실제적으로 적용할 수 있는 웹사이트를 개발, 현장에 적용하여 원격교수학습이 과학적 탐구력과 사고력에 미치는 효과에 대하여 조사하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of elementary school students' knowledge and information processing competence and collaborative problem-solving ability in scientific inquiry class using data measured with digital inquiry tools. To this end, three classes of 5th grade elementary schools in S-city, Gyeongnam were selected as experimental groups and three classes as control groups. The control group conducted traditional lecture-style classes, and the experimental group conducted scientific inquiry classes using scientific data. The following results were obtained through questionnaires after class. First, science inquiry classes using scientific data helped elementary school students improve their knowledge and information processing competence. Second, scientific inquiry classes using scientific data improved elementary school students' cooperative problem-solving ability. From the above results, it was found that scientific inquiry classes using scientific data are needed to improve the knowledge information processing competence and cooperative problem solving ability of elementary school students. Based on this research, it is necessary to study a specific teaching and learning environment that can activate scientific inquiry class using data measured with digital inquiry tools in the future.

We objectively analysis of teacher recommendation on selection process for scientifically gifted program, by having conducted the test of scientific attitude, process skill, logical thinking, creative problem-solving ability and creativity of the students who were enrolled in science gifted-education programs, students who were recommended by science teachers as talented in science and students of ordinary classes. In result, both gifted program students and teacher-recommended students scored much higher than ordinary class students in all test fields, but there was no meaningful difference between the gifted-program students and teacher-recommended students. This result signifies that teacher recommendation is a valuable tool for selecting students for a science gifted-education program.

The purpose of this study was to introduce the practical model on the enhancement of the divergent and convergent thinking skills through inquiry instruction in science class. In this study, the creative thinking skill has been defined by divergent thinking skill as the narrow sense. In the science field, the problem solving thinking skill is just same as the inquiry thinking skill. Also, the problem solving thinking skill has been defined by convergent thinking skill as the critical thinking skill. This new instruction had been used for the college student in the class of general chemistry laboratory for the one semester. The first results had been founded that the students' divergent thinking skill had been increased significantly. Especially, the skills of recognition of problems, the skills of making hypothesis, and the skills of transformation and interpretation of data had been increased significantly. The second results had been founded that the students' convergent thinking skill had been increased significantly. Especially, the skills of making hypothesis, the skills of transformation and interpretation of data, and the skills of making conclusion and generalization had been increased significantly. The third results had been founded that the students' the creative and problem solving thinking skill had been increased significantly. Especially, the rest of all skills exception the skill of control variables had been increased significantly.
