The previously developed practical inquiry activity supporting tools, deduced from the design principles and implementation principles based on the study of precedent researches and theories, applicable to conceptual learning in engineering education were implemented to an on-line learning community, a web-based Windows application, to find out its effectiveness in actual classroom situation through experimental research. The On-line learning community includes the inquiry activity menu to implement learning procedure of inquiry based conceptual learning, the functions supporting the communication among participants, the information sharing function, the scheduling function of class and inquiry activity, the mentoring function, and the evaluation of on-line activities of learners. Experimental study were also conducted in order to analyze the effects of inquiry activity supporting tools on inquiry based conceptual learning in engineering education.

The purpose of this paper is to offer an analysis on the research trends of web-based inquiry learning effectiveness in science education, and to present suggestions for future studies. This study compiled data on 43 articles in Korea and international journals. The content analysis of articles published were from academic journals related to science education and educational technology from 2000 to 2014. The results are as follows: Among domestic articles, the participants ranged from school children to high school students. On the contrary, among foreign articles, the participants are centralized on secondary school students; most used experimental studies; most of the studies resulted with web-based inquiry learning in science education showing effectiveness on science learning performance or science inquiry ability; all web-based inquiry learning were designed using different models of teaching and learning, with the result in the case of domestic research, the utilized models refer to the STS learning model, Internet utilization problem-center inquiry learning model, Procedural model, while in the case of overseas research, the utilized models are SCY, IBLE, and TESI model. Implications of the findings are then discussed, which implies considerations for further research related to web-based inquiry learning.

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.

Science education in elementary school is mostly based on solving investigative tasks conducted by small groups on the basis of the inquiry activities such as experiments, observations, etc. Students should be able to draw conclusions from experiments and observations through their collaborative interactions by exchanging ideas. If learners use the advantages of Blended-Learning as a new pedagogical method comprehending merits of both off-line and on-line learning to complement off-line activities throughout the entire process, the interactions among them may be reinforced, and they would take part in the inquiry learning more actively. Accordingly, the proposed system can help children foster science inquiry learning effectively by using on-line communication facilities to arrange learners' diverse opinions and thoughts coming from off-line inquiry activity process. The result shows that the system enhanced learners' interest about science inquiry learning and improved their learning achievements by exchanging diverse opinions via the Web communication facilities.

정보화 사회에서는 자기 학습력 신장이 강조되고 있다. 초등사회과 교육에서 자기 학습력을 신장시키기 위해서는 다양한 학습자료의 제공을 통해 개개인의 특성에 맞게 탐구할 수 있는 탐구능력의 육성이 중요하다. 본 논문은 웹 기반 코스웨어를 개발 제작하고 이를 수업에 활용함으로써 개별학습이나 탐구학습에서 바람직한 효과를 거두는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 시스템은 단순히 텍스트와 정지된 그림만을 보여주는 기존의 웹을 활용한 학습과는 달리 Flash를 이용하여 학습자와 상호작용하여 많이 일어나도록 게임학습 위주로 구현하였으며, ASP를 이용하여 자료실, 게시판을 만들어 학습자 상호간에 적극적인 인터페이스가 이루어지도록 하였다. 연구대상은 초등학교 4학년 학생이며, 웹 기반 코스에서 활용 집단과 전통적인 방식의 학습 집단으로 구분하여 연구하였다. T검정과 분산분석을 통해 성적의 변화패턴에 차이가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 '문화재와 박물관' 단원을 학습하는데 있어 웹 기반 코스웨어를 활용한 학습자의 흥미와 호기심을 유발시켜 학습의욕과 교수 학습 방법을 개선하는데 기여하리라 기대되며, 전통적인 방식의 학습보다 효과적이라는 결론이다.

For the purpose of analysis, the supporting methods for inquiry process is divided into 3 types; when CSILE supports low-level of basic inquiry process, when CSILE supports high-level of integrated inquiry process and when CSILE supports both low-level and high-level of inquiry process. Strauss and Corbin's(1998) grounded theory was used to analyze inquiry process of learning groups. 48 elementary school students in 6th grade participated in this study. Those participants were assigned into 3 groups and each group consisted of 16 students. Then, participants studied a retarded unit in science subject cooperatively for 4 weeks using CSILE program. Through this extensive experiment, 3 types of inquiry model was revealed.

Just as noted in some studies related to U-learning based on the ubiquitous technology, it is required to reflect both factors of the environments and contexts of learners on the teaching and learning strategy. For this, the current paper suggests an inquiry learning method and a mobile learning support device for the inquiry learning. Since the inquiry learning is operating on the basis of the contents that learners themselves experience in the fields, it naturally leads them to position in the learning environments and contexts. In this study some curricula are adopted and transformed for the inquiry learning, and the developed mobile device for the learning has a guide function, so that learners might follow the inquiry learning process. In addition, it is possible to reuse the acquired learning data by storing them on a remote learning sever, which may support the inquiry learning of students. These system and device are applied in the teaching sites of schools and, consequently, it is found that in regard with the learning interest and academic performance of students there is an advanced result, being statistically significant.

In learning activities. research learning is mostly carried out in a laboratory. Learners can approach a learning process with ease and are given the chance to do the self-directed study one research experiments in advance by designing a process of research learning in the laboratory by a web-based simulation courseware. And this can offer a learner-centered model with which learners can share. exchange and interact information each other. Using a web in instructing and learning can be an appropriate implement of research and also gives learner-centered learning environment. This thesis is a study on design and implementation of a web-based simulation courseware for learning Kinetic energy through the research learning which is one of the self leading learning methods.

Inquiry became an essential methodology in science education. Recently, argumentation becomes more important in inquiry, but inquiry-based teaching in school science would not provide enough opportunities for students to have voluntary and active interactions during inquiry activities. Informal science learning can be an alternative for authentic inquiry. Accordingly, this study aims to find interaction patterns in dialogic inquiry of junior high school students in small groups in the natural history gallery. Inquiry elements and interaction patterns are analyzed with 42 dialogues of 13 small groups. As a result, seven interaction patterns are identified. First, five major interaction patterns were drawn as follows; Sharing questions, asking questions and simple response, asking questions and simple explanation, asking questions-simple explanation-(collecting data)-data based explanation, and asking questions-collecting data-data based explanation. Second, pattern 2, 'asking questions and simple response', is subdivided into three categories; passive and/or evasive response, inaccurate response, and repeated patterns of asking questions-simple response. The results of the study provide different patterns of dialogic interactions in a small group inquiry in informal contexts from formal contexts, and provide foundations to understand middle school students' interactive dialogues of inquiry occurred in the natural history gallery.
