We investigated student's characteristics in each educational achievement level using the results of the NAEA (National Assessment of Educational Achievement) in 2009 and 2010 for Grade 9 students. The analysis of representative items of each educational achievement level revealed that (a) advanced level students could explain the change in phenomena with both the characteristics of matter and the model, (b) proficient level students could explain only simple phenomena with the model, and (c) basic level students did not understand the model and were therefore unable to use it to explain phenomena.

This study analyzed students', parents of student, and school master' survey materials and reading, math, and science knowledge performance based on OECD PISA 2009 Koreana data. Also, school library level variables grasped the impacts of academic achievement. Through this study looked for suggestion to improvement, educational accountability and leverage of school library. The results, first, when they use reading more pleasantly thought, they achieve higher scores in academic performance. Second, when they use more books and reading resources in housekeeping, they achieve higher scores in academic performance. Third, when they were more visits school library for exploit internet, they achieve higher lower scores in academic performance. Fourth, when the member of the staff in the school library are more lack of people, they achieve lower scores in academic performance. Fifth, private education's experience in reading have a negative influence in reading achievement and science achievement. Sixth, school library's visiting and library application study about national language curriculum in the impacts of academic performance would not change statistical evaluation significantly.

이 논문은 네덜란드의 4학년 학생들에게 시행된 문제 해결 시험에서 얻은 첫 번째 결과이다. 참여한 학생들은 수학에서 높은 성취도를 얻은 학생들이었다. 학생들의 응답을 분석한 결과 성취도가 높은 학생들에게 관심을 가져야 하는 이유를 알게 되었다. 교사는 우수한 학생에 대해서는 걱정할 필요가 없다는 일반적인 믿음을 수정해야 한다는 것이 분명해졌다. 수학에서 높은 성취도를 보인 학생들이 비전형적인 문제에 직면할 때 그들의 능력은 기대했던 것보다 저조하게 나타났다. 이 연구에서 학생들은 특정 문제를 풀 때 여분의 노트에 거의 아무것도 적지 않음을 발견하였다. 또한 학생들이 답을 찾는 과정을 참고 견디지 않는다는 것도 알 수 있었다. 이 논문에서는 시험 문제 중 한 문제의 결과를 논의하면서 이러한 결과를 보여줄 것이다.

This study was to examine whether high school students' academic motivation and learning strategies influence their competence. Of the 600 high school students surveyed from 3 high schools in two metropolitan cities, Korea, 489 completed and returned the questionnaires yielding a total response rate of 81.50%. The final sample consisted of 399 males (81.6%) and 82 females (16.8%). Among the final sample, 113 students were gifted, and 376 students were non-gifted. Their average age was 17.20 years. Measures of students' competence (i.e., cognitive competence, and social competence), academic motivation (i.e., intrinsic motivation to know, toward accomplishment, and to experience stimulation, and extrinsic motivation identified, introjected, and external regulation, and amotivation), and learning strategies (i.e., metacognition, self-monitoring, strategy formation) Spearman's rho(${\rho}$) indicated that students' competence was positively associated with intrinsic (i.e., to know, toward accomplishment, to experience stimulation) and extrinsic (i.e., identified, introjected) motivation, and learning strategies. However, students' competence was negatively associated with amotivation. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that intrinsic motivation (i.e., to experience stimulation), extrinsic motivation(i.e., external regulation), and learning strategies (i.e., strategy formation) were the crucial contributors for enhancing students' competence. Results are discussed in relation to theoretical implications and school settings.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among self-efficacy, motivation proposed by self-determination theory and academic achievement and to confirm the relative predictive power of motivation variables in predicting 480 middle/high students' achievement. The instruments used in this study were 'Self-efficacy' and 'Self - regulation' scale. The data were analyzed with Pearson correlations and multiple regression (stepwised) analysis. The correlations among self-efficacy, self-determination motivation and academic achievement were significant. The variables among self-determination were correlated to academic achievement in middle school. Among the variables of self-determination motivation, identified regulation, Integrated regulation and intrinsic regulation were positively related to academic achievement in high school but amotivation was negatively related to academic achievement. Self-control efficacy and self-confidence were the significance predictor of academic achievement in middle school. Hard-task preference and self-control efficacy were the significance predictor of academic achievement in high school students. Introjected-regulation was the best predictor of academic achievement in middle school. Identified-regulation was the best predictor of academic achievement in high school.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between science achievement and student-related variables in the 2006 National Assessment of Educational Achievement (NAEA), the subjects of which included 3% of students within the entire population of the grades 6, 9 and 10. The results showed that the more they talk with parents, study by themselves, and read the books, the higher the students achieved in science. The science achievement was also significantly and positively related to self-regulated learning, adaptation to school life and attitude toward science. It is implied that the approach of stimulating internal motive such as interest, attitude toward science and human relations is more effective in resulting in the students' higher science achievement than focusing on external attitudes such as forcing good study habits.

This paper estimates the peer effect of how improving the under-performing students can affect the academic performance of other students, focusing on the ratio of students more than proficient. We take advantage of the regression discontinuity design of the policy assignment rule of School-for-Improvement (SFI), which targeted the under-performing schools as an identification strategy. The estimation results from the 2009-2010 NAEA (National Assessment of Educational Achievement) reveal that the decrease of the ratio of under-performing students tends to increase the ratio of excellent or proficient students at around the policy cutoff. The finding turns out to be robust to various falsification tests.

Gifted education, receiving private tutoring and prerequisite learning, is emerging as a remarkable phenomenon currently in Korea. Hence, we need to find out that whether prerequisite math learning influences academic achievement in any aspect after they enter the center. In this paper, we investigate the effect of mathematics prerequisite learning of gifted students focused on the their self-efficacy, achievement motivation and academic achievement. As a result, the period of mathematics prerequisite learning did not influence academic achievement of gifted students. However, the correlation between self-efficacy and achievement motivation was positive.

다각도로 분석된 학업 성취도를 신속하게 제공받는 학생들은 그렇지 않은 학생들에 비해 차후에 더 나은 학업 성과를 보인다. 그러나 현재의 한국 학교 현장에서 시행되고 있는 평가 방법을 이를 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 서비스를 온라인으로 교사와 학생에게 제공하는 ‘학업성취도 분석시스템’인 SAAS를 설계하고 구현하였다. 이 시스템은 비즈니스 데이터를 다차원적으로 분석하여 부가가치를 창출하는데 쓰이는 신기술인 OLAP을 이용한다. 학생, 과목, 기간 차원에 대한 종합적 성취도 분석 결과가 산출되고, 이는 편리한 인터페이스를 통해 제공된다. 시스템의 성능향상을 위해서 분석결과의 부분적 사전연산 방식과 큐브의 청크 단위 저장 방식이 사용되었다. SAAS는 전국 단위 학생 성적 분석을 위해서도 쓰일 수 있을 정도로 성능면에서 확장성을 지니며, 제 7차 교육과정 개혁에도 적용이 가능하다.

This study analyzed some of the discrepancies in quantitative and qualitative data focusing on cognitive and affective achievement in science education. Academic and affective achievement score of 308 high school students were collected as quantitative data, and 33 students were interviewed for qualitative data. We examined the causes and types of discrepancies in terms of testing tools. As a result from quantitative data, there were a large number of students with a big difference between subjects in cognitive achievement, and constructs in affective achievement. More than 20% of the students did not match tendency between achievements in two areas. Through interviews, some examples such as intentional control of science learning for future study and careers, different responses by differences in perception between school science and science, appeared. A comparison of quantitative data by testing tool between qualitative ones and interviews showed conflicting result, where most students evaluated themselves differently from their own quantitative data. That is due to the students' interaction with the testing tools. Two types of discrepancy related to testing tool are found. One is 'the concept difference between the item developer and students,' the other is 'the difference between students' exposed response and their real mindset.' These are related to the ambiguity of the terms used in the tool and response bias due to various causes. Based on this study, an effort is required to elaborate the testing item that matches students' actual perception and to apply students' science learning experience to testing items.
