This study developed an SSI (Socio-Scientific Issue) discussion program that applies a creative technique called six thinking hats, and then investigated the differences in argumentation patterns and effects on the decision-making abilities of each character feature of students between SNS debate and existing face to face debate. There were three SSI themes - Designer Babies, embryonic stem cell study, and legitimacy of abortion. Students were divided into two groups, the debate group using SNS and face to face debate group. The character patterns of students were divided to 'extraversion,' 'agreeableness,' and 'conscientiousness' through test sheets for character features for each student. Both groups were educated for creative discussion methods using six thinking hats and then, the class progressed. As a result of analyzing argumentation patterns used in SNS debate and face to face debate, the most used argumentation pattern was the "cause pattern." But comparing to face to face debate, other patterns (mark, inference, authority, motive) were also used in SNS debate. The study analyzed three factors of decision-making ability for each character feature of students such as complexity, perspectives, and inquiry. As a result, for 'complexity' factor, there was a significant difference between SNS debate group and face to face debate group only in the student group of Agreeableness. For 'perspectives' factor, there were significant differences between SNS debate group and face to face debate group in all three characters. Finally, for inquiry, there were no significant differences between SNS debate group and face to face debate group in all three characters. Accordingly it would be necessary to apply SNS debate using the six thinking hats in SSI education to enhance perspectives.

This study was conducted to explore the effect of the type of dashboard on online group discussion activities based on learning analysis. The experimental research was conducted among 51 learners from a university by dividing them into 2 groups. Group A provided participation and interaction dashboard, and group B provided the discussion topics and message type dashboard. First, pre-tests were conducted on attitudes toward computer writing and the level of motivation that could affect online discussion activities. Then the students participated three different topics of online group discussions. The participation and interaction data were automatically collected through the dashboard, and learning outcome data were collected through post-tests. The results showed level of participation in Group B (M=47.56, SD=2.37) that provided discussion topics and message type dashboard was significantly higher than the level of participation in Group A (M=38.13, SD=2.21) that provided participation and interaction dashboard. On the other hand, there were no differences in the level of interaction and learning outcomes. In future studies, we suggest that the dashboard effects based on the learners' characteristics should be carried out because the learners' characteristics may affect the use of the dashboard.

The purpose of this study is to identify the differences of argumentation discourses for Socio-Scientific Issues in the types of decision-making and personality traits of pre-service biology teachers. For this study, SSI discussion topics were selected according to four types of decision making: logical reasoning, suggestion of complement, emotional base, and internal conflict. Three groups were constructed based on personality traits such as extroversion, acceptability, and integrity. Each three group used the workbook specially developed and freely used the smart device for discussion. A recorder and a camcorder were used to record each group, their behavior was recorded and the written materials during the discussion were collected for the results. Using Walton's analysis framework, the collected data analyzed in terms of the source of utterance, the process of dialogue shift, and the critical movements that can judge the reasoning of utterance. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the decision-making type of SSI topics and learners' personalities were influential in the decision-making process of SSI small group discussions. This research shows that there is a need to develop instructional materials considering decision-making types and learners' personality types of students as well as pre-service teachers for SSI discussion.

study was to explore the patterns and the characteristics of students' interactive argumentation in the middle school science classes. The data were collected by observing and audiotaping the small-group discussions and the transcribed data were analyzed through the lens of Toulmin's argument frame. As the results, the three argumentation patterns, which could be combined different ideas with or without their warrants, were presented. In the first pattern, the argumentation including the claim and its warrant without any different ideas, the students argumentation did not have any conflict with each other in the discussions. In the second, the argumentation of different ideas without their warrants, the different ideas did not affect the claim. In the last, the argumentation of different ideas with their warrants, the students elaborated the claim through collaborative argumentation in search for the warrant. To understand and improve student discussions in the science classrooms, conclusion and implications were discussed based on the results.

본 논문에서는 웹기반 실시간 온라인 토론에서 집단구성을 내향성 집단, 외향성 집단 내향성/외향성 혼합집단으로 분류하고 집단구성방식이 토론 내용에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 학습자를 대상으로 MBTI(Myers Briggs Type Indicator) 성격유형 검사를 실시하고 온라인 토론을 수행한 후, 토론 내용을 Henri의 메시지 분석 모친에 기초한 지표를 기준으로 각 차원별 의미단위로 분석하였다. 그 차원들 중 사회적 차원과 상호작용적 차원을 토론 내용의 상호의존성으로, 인지적 차원과 메타 인지적 차원을 토론 내용의 과제관련성으로 범주화하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 토론 내용의 총 의미단위 수, 상호의존성, 과세관련성 모두에서 이질적으로 구성된 내향성/외향성 혼합집단이 가장 긍정적인 영향을 미친 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigate the effects of group composition according to the personality type of learner on the content of discussion in web-based synchronous online discussion. The experiment for this study was conducted with high school students. First, we conducted the MBTI(Myers Briggs Type Indicator) test and based upon the result, we classified learners into 3 groups; introverts group, extroverts group, and introverts/extroverts mixed group. After the online discussion, the content of discussion were analyzed by the units of meaning, based on the four dimensions which were proposed in the 'content analysis model' by Henri(l992). Among four dimensions, 'social' and 'interactive' dimension belonged to category of inter-dependence, and 'cognitive' and 'metacognitive' dimension belonged to category of subject-relevance. The introverts/extroverts mixed group, which was heterogeneously composed, had the most positive effects on the total numbers of the units of meaning, the inter-dependence, and the subject-relevance of the contents of discussion.

사회생활을 통하여 직면하게 되는 다양한 형태의 문제들을 해결할 수 있는 사고력을 기르는 것은 교육적으로 매우 중요하다. 특히 남과 더불어 문제를 해결하는 능력이 가장 직접적으로 실현되는 사고 혹은 활동 형태는 바로 토론이다. 또한 토론을 통한 학습은 학습자 중심의 교수-학습 활동으로 교사와 학생 간, 학생과 학생 간의 대화를 활성화함으로써 달성하고자 하는 학습 목표를 학생들 스스로 성취 할 수 있는 길을 열어준다는데 교육적 의의가 크다. 본 논문은 기존의 웹 기반 토론 학습의 제약을 극복하는 것에 초점을 맞추어 웹 기반 토론 학습시스템을 설계하였다. 이러한 웹 기반 토론 학습시스템은 첫째, 원활한 토론 학습을 위하여 실시간 및 비실시간 토론 학습을 모두 제공해야 한다. 둘째, 토론 학습의 사회자 역할, 토론자 역할, 방청객 역할을 두어 과제 중심적 역할 유형과 사회성 촉진적 역할을 모두 실현할 수 있어야 한다. 셋째, 사회자중재를 위한 토론중단 및 토론재개 기능과 방청객 질의 응답 시작과 종료기능을 제공하야야 한다. 넷째, 기존의 웹 토론 학습을 위해 이용되는 게시판이나 대화방은 학습자 평가를 위한 기능이 없고 현장 적용에 어려움이 많기 때문에 웹 토론 학습시스템에 학습자들을 평가할 수 있는 자기평가, 동료평가, 교수자 평가 등의 평가 기능을 제공하여야 한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of social interaction on cultural aspects, verbal interaction, and discussion maps in scientific modeling instruction on combustion in middle school. Revised-CLEQ (Cultural Learning Environment Questionnaire), verbal interaction framework, discussion maps analysis were implemented for this study. The results of study follow respectively. First, the characteristics on cultural aspects of middle school students showed cooperation rather than competition in terms of collectivism. Students' attitudes to learning science tended to depend on others' idea, and students were passive and reluctant to present their comments when they were modeling work. Second, for the characteristics of verbal interaction, they simply presented knowledge related to build a model. The response to comments and feedback was relatively few. Third, discussion maps showed a lot of interaction for reponses that was alternatively brought the concept of commenters, which students were depended on a specific one, and responses. There were not many interaction for elaboration, which were described to have new presented ideas, corrections, and reasons when they exchange their ideas. In this study the model type of interaction affecting the formation of the students understanding of and in our country, it makes a lot of social interactions as the basis for teaching system could be utilized.
