This study intends to examine the characteristics of mathematical literacy on Korean Students in PISA 2003(Programme for International Student Assessment 2003). We study the mean performance, the distribution of student performance, the student performance in terms of mathematics contents and process and situation and item format, the differences in mean scores between PISA 2000 and PISA 2003, and the gender differences in student performance. In addition to, we study students' engagement with mathematics, students' beliefs about themselves, students' anxiety in mathematics, and students' teaming strategies. Finally, we discuss the reasons of the characteristics of mathematical literacy on Korean students in PISA 2003, and suggest the implications for mathematics educators and educational policy-makers.

This study has its purpose of researching on the relevant variables which affect the attitude toward engineering science and brain dominance for the department of engineering students. The results of this study are as follows: First, the department of engineering students' attitude toward engineering science has shown the order of cognitive element (3.73), definitional element (3.05) and behavioral element (2.86), and in the actual context it is considered that it is necessary to establish a teaching-learning strategy which can reinforce the behavioral elements such as experiments and practices as well as can improve engineering-related cognitive ability. Second, the attitudes toward engineering science according to their brain dominance thinking (Type A: analyst, Type B: Administrator, Type C: Cooperator, and Type D: Jointer) have no significant difference, but the students of Type A who have the characteristics of 7 analyzing thinking have shown high academic accomplishment. Based on these results of study, it is necessary to make a change of the current teaching-learning stratery in accordance with the types of thinking of the students from the teaching-learning perspective. In particular, in order to develop the weak dominance properties and thinking type of individual learners, the change in teacher's recognition that the teacher's teaching-learning strategy and practice is important has to take precedence.

The study in this paper considers how high school students' attitudes toward and interest in mathematics could be promoted by conjoining the learning of ma thematics with the learning of social science topics. Survey instrument was dev eloped to measure student attitudes toward mathematics and social science subje cts and to evaluate student beliefs on learning mathematics embedded in social science topics. Data were collected from high school students in Korea by admi nistering pre- and post-tests: students were intervened with examples of math problems embedded in certain social contexts. The findings indicate that high sc hool students' experience of solving mathematics problems embedded in social c ontexts positively affects the promotion of their attitudes toward and beliefs on both mathematics and social science subjects.

The effect of Web-based project learning on the science achievement and attitude of middle school students was investigated. Four classes of 9th grade at a coed middle school were divided into control and experimental groups. Web-based project instruction in which students utilized the Web to interactively carry out their projects was put into practice with the experimental group, while traditional instruction was employed with the control group. Pre- and post-test achievement and attitude scores were estimated through an analysis of covariance. Web-based project instruction was seen to be more effective in enhancing students’ science achievement and attitude than traditional instruction. In particular, the former instruction was most useful for improving higher level students’ achievement and attitude among the higher, middle, and lower level students of both groups, based on their academic achievement. The effect of Web-based project may result in eradicating negative cognition about gender difference.

정보화시대의 도래와 함께 급변하는 정보의 홍수 속에서 학생들이 학교에서 학습해야 할 지식의 양은 방대해진 반면에 미래의 변화하는 상황에 유연하게 대처할 수 있는 다양한 능력을 지닌 인재들에 대한 수요는 더욱 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 미래의 사회가 필요로 하는 인간상을 구현하기 위해 많은 양의 지식을 가르치는 암기와 훈련 위주의 전통적 교수-학습방법을 탈피하고 학습에 필요한 핵심적 요소를 체계적으로 구조화하여 학습자 스스로 사고하여 문제를 해결하는 능력과 창의적 사고를 배양시키는 교수-학습방법의 필요성이 부각되고 있다.(중략)

이 연구는 중학교 과학 수업의 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습에 대한 효과를 검증해 보고자 하였다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 먼저 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습과 관련된 문헌 고찰을 통해 연구의 수행에 필요한 이론적 기반을 마련하였다. 중학교 1학년 과학 내용 중에서 연구 단원을 선정하여 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습 모형을 제시하였다. 연구대상은 경기도 김포시에 위치한 'K'중학교 1학년 학생들 중에서 사전 학업성취도 검사와 학습태도 검사에 의해 동질집단으로 확인된 2개 학습 79명이다. 연구대상 중 1개 학습 40명을 실험대상으로 선정하여 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습의 실험을 실시하고 통제집단에는 기존의 면대면 협동학습을 실시하였으며 실험이 끝난 후 두 집단의 학업성취도 및 학습태도 변화 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 결과 분석은 SPSS Ver.12.0을 이용하였으며 학업성취도는 다변량 분산분석(MANOVA)을 하였고, 학습태도는 독립표본 t검정을 통해 분석하였다. 분석한 연구의 결과 첫째, 중학교 과학 수업에서 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습은 면대면 협동학습과 학업성취도에서 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습 실험집단이 면대면 협동학습 통제집단보다 학업성취도의 하위 영역 중 기억 영역에 그 효과성이 두드러짐을 확인하였다. 둘째, 중학교 과학 수업에서 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습은 면대면 협동학습과 학습태도에서 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 연구 결과를 토대로 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습은 첫째, 학습자들로 하여금 자료 수집, 분석, 정리 단계에서 정보의 공유를 통해 적극적으로 학습을 유도하였다고 예측할 수 있다. 이는 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습이 면대면 협동학습보다 학업성취도 향상에 효과적인 교수학습 방안으로 제시될 수 있음을 의미한다. 둘째, 중학교 과학수업에서 온 오프라인 혼합 협동학습은 학습자의 학습태도에 효과적이라고 확신할 수 없다. 따라서 학습자의 교과에 대한 학습태도의 향상을 위해서는 교수 학습방법을 다각화하고 교과와 학습목표에 맞는 적절한 학습방법의 지속적 활용이 중요하다고 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of situation-based class using digital storytelling on elementary school students' science class motivation and scientific attitude for 50 fifth graders in B elementary school in P metropolitan city. In order to conduct this study, 25 students in 5th grade were selected as research group and 25 students in another class as comparative group, and the research group conducted situation-based classes using 8-hour digital storytelling. The comparative group received 8 classes of general science classes by curriculum. The results of this study are as follows. First, the situation-based class using digital-storytelling has a statistically significant effect on elementary school students' science learning motivation. Second, situation-based class using digital-storytelling has a statistically significant effect on the scientific attitudes of elementary school students. It is thought that the situation-based class through digital-storytelling has a positive effect on the exploration of science principles through students' daily experiences.

As calls for more attention toward social minority group increases in our society recently, in the field of mathematics education more attention toward an issue about mathematics underachievers is being amplified. Thus, the present study is to examine the effects of teaching method considering students' cognitive characteristics on mathematical underachievers' problem solving and mathematical disposition. For this study, 10 fifth graders identified as mathematical underachievers based on the results of the national level diagnosis assessment and school based assessment were voluntarily selected from an elementary school in Seoul. The results of this study found out the fact that students participating in this program improved in terms of an ability both to solve problems in various ways and to explain an process of problem solving using spoken or written language and drawings. In addition, learning environment respecting students' own mathematical ideas seems to positively influence students' attitudes toward mathematics learning and mathematical dispositions. Furthermore, this study pointed out that mathematical underachievers tend to have difficulty in expressing their own mathematical thinking by reason of linguistic limitation. Finally, the findings of this study imply that for effective teaching of mathematics underachievers, these students' own informal experience and knowledge about mathematics as well as their characteristics regarding learning difficulties should be strongly considered.
