The purposes of this study were to develop an Earth Systems-based program for science-gifted students and to investigate the effects of field application. The developed program was composed of six activities focused on 'fault and earthquake'. Each step including exploratory step, enrichment step and application step was designed to be associated with aims for Earth Systems Education. Two instruments for experiments were produced and students' activity sheets and teacher's guide of the program were developed. The program was applied to 14 science-gifted students who were 8th grade belonging to an institute for science-gifted at an university. Data was collected from students' activity sheets, outcomes and questionnaires. The findings were as follows. First, the results of analyzing the students' activity sheets and outcomes indicated that the program was helpful in understanding the interactions among subsystems of the Earth. Secondly, the results of the survey indicated that positive responses in acquiring scientific concepts and the results revealed science-gifted students were much interested in this program.

This study suggests a theoretical model of information literacy instructions in the context of the Extended Essay included in IB(International Baccalaureate) Diploma Program Core. The study particularly analyzed I-LEARN model as a model to teach and learn with information for inquiry-based learning since the model was developed for the purpose of learning with information. Some school districts in Korea adapted IB programs to address the need for better education. Findings indicate the followings. First, students can achieve deep understanding by applying a model of information literacy instructions that provides scaffolding. Second, the expected roles of school librarians in information literacy instructions for Extended Essay are process specialists, teachers, and instructional partners. Third, I-LEARN model is appropriate as a framework to teach information literacy skills for inquiry needed for Extended Essay. Fourth, I-LEARN assessment rubric is useful in assessing the process and outcomes of students' information seeking and use. Implications include that school librarians should develop themselves as experts in information literacy instructions for inquiry-based learning such as Extended Essay, and that Korean schools recognize the crucial role of school librarians in teaching information literacy skills for inquiry-based learinng.

The purpose of this research is to develop transition process and programmes for gently converting people with disabilities to local communities, through their empowerments. The methods used in the research were literature research, case studies on related programs, and expert interviews. The following shows the results. Firstly, the transition process for people with developmental disorders is exceedingly limited, and the process does not consider special attention needed for people with developmental disorders. Secondly, the postsecondary education programs for people with developmental disorders are being started as transition processes, however these programs need more connection with secondary schools. Thirdly, the primary factors which must be contemplated for University programs(for people with developmental disorders, after secondary education) are self-cognition and self-understanding. According to these results, we can suggest transition processes and programs within Universities for people with developmental disorders. (In Korea) Firstly, the postsecondary transition for people with developmental disorders requires a consideration of their characteristics, and mainstreaming education is also needed for their self-cognition and self-understanding. Considering this, the transition process within Universities can be an alternative. Secondly, tertiary educations within Universities for people with developmental disorders need to consider the following factors: ① The programs in Universities need to set up a support network. ② The door to program should be open to all students with developmental disorders within the Universities. ③ Organization of human resources must be systematized and connected, so that specialists within the Universities can participate in the postsecondary education programs for people with developmental disorders. ④ Inclusive learning activities must be under-taken, allowing students without disabilities to participate in the programs for students with developmental disorders.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the 6th national secondary science curriculum and classroom practices to collect the basic data for developing secondary science program focusing on creative problem-solving ability. The creative problem-solving ability was conceptualized as an active process of producing new solutions to problems and consisted of five components: general knowledge, domain-specific knowledge, motivation, divergent thinking and critical thinking. The research questions were generated as follows: (1) Whether creative problem-solving elements-domain specific knowledge(declarative knowledge and inquiry methods) were included or not in the 6th secondary science curriculum, textbooks and teacher's guide? If so, how are they represented? (2) Whether the teachers tried to enhance divergent and critical thinking of their students. Through content analyses, observations and interviews, these research questions were answered as follows: (1) Inquiry methods, which are important to develop creative problem-solving abilities in science, were underestimated in comparison with declarative knowledge. In other words. inquiry methods were regarded only as tools to understand the scientific concepts and principles. (2) It was hard to find the situations which teachers provided opportunities for divergent and critical thinking to their students. Based on these results, the followings were recommended: (1) Inquiry methods should be regarded as a goal not as a tool and be used to acquire inquiry methods themselves. (2) Teachers should not stick to the prescribed inquiry methods prescribed in the textbook, but to give opportunities for thinking various kinds of inquiry methods to improve divergent and critical thinking.

Teaching computer and ICT skills in K-12 helps to bridge the digital divide of the students at the minimum cost, and provides them with a chance of getting a Quality of life as well as a Quality of work in the future. From examining the education policies of U.S., EU, Canada, and other countries, concerning computer education, several factors, including vision and national-level policy, Quality of manpower, needs for computer-related technology, structure of IT industry, overall demand for IT specialists, have been identified as those with major impacts on the curriculum of computer education. Based upon the analysis of domestic key factors, three levels of computer education program are suggested. At the most basic and least controversial level, basic ICT-skill program for effective learning needs to be provided for every student. Next level is concerned with improving the Quality of life and work. A program for introductory level of computer science can be provided as extra-curricular classes for bright and eager students, who might want to be computer expert or specialists.
