과학교육은 학생들이 장차 과학 기술분야의 직업을 추구하도록 하는 것을 그 중요한 결실의 하나로 잡고 있다. 현재 한국은 과학과 기술의 발전을 교육의 주요목표의 하나로 삼고 있으며, 정부에서는 보다 많은 영재를 과학 기술분야로 유치하려고 여러 가지 정책을 펴고 있다. 그러나 이러한 정책도 결국은 학생이 과학 기술분야로 모여들지 않으면 그 효과가 없게 된다. 그런 점에서 학생들이 어떤 이유로 과학 기술분야를 선택하는지 혹은 기피하는지 그 원인을 아는 것을 중요한 과제라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 과학 및 기술분야의 직업을 갖게 되는데 결정적인 역할을 하는 고교생의 문 이과반 선택에 있어 그 진로결정에 영향을 주는 제 요인들을 규명하는데 목적을 두고있다. 연구대상은 대구시내외 남 녀 고교 1학년생 109명(문과 56명, 이과 53명)이었으며 조사방법은 설문지법을 사용하였다. 조사결과는 학생들의 문 이과반 선택에는 장래직업, 대학전공, 적성, 학과목에 대한 능력, 흥미 선호도, 가족 및 주위의 권유 등이 주요요인임을 보여주고 있다. 그중 문과를 지원한 학생들은 대체적으로 자신의 적성 이과과목에 대한 능력부족 인식, 내신 및 학력고사에서의 성적취득용이성 등 주로 자신의 내적 동기와 관련된 요인들을 들고 있는데 비해, 이과를 지원한 학생들은 밝은 직업전망, 가족 및 주위의 권유 등 외적인 동기도 큰 작용을 하고 있음을 보여 대조를 이루고 있다. 또 문과를 지원한 학생은 이과가 공부하기가 어렵고 성적을 올리기도 힘들어 이과를 기피한 경향을 보이는데 반해 이과 지원자는 문과를 기피하여 이과로 왔다는 응답은 별로 없는 점이 대조를 보였다. 본 논문은 이러한 결과가 던져주는 시사점과 과학교육의 개선책에 관한 제언을 제시하면서 결론을 맺고 있다.

Degrees of practice(${\beta}=.123$, t=2.405, p<.05), the satisfaction level of the supervisor(${\beta}=.176$, t = 2.446, p <.05), the lecture satisfaction level of the practicum(${\beta}=.229$, t=4.018, p<.001) were found to affect the empowerment in each sector. But in final analysis with all factors have been concerned, the lecture satisfaction level of the practicum(${\beta}=.257$, t=4.495, p<.001) had a positive effect on the empowerment. Based on these results, implications for research and practice were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to verify the construct validity of self-evaluated writing scale for students with disabilities who had difficulties in writing. After interpreting the Here's How I Write scale developed by Goldstand et al. (2013), we administered Delphi survey to 40 special education professionals, calculated the content validity ratio and decided the final scale of 21 questions applicable to Korea. Additionally, we carried out the scale to 350 disabled and normal students for testing construct validity. The main results are as follows: For both students with disabilities and without disabilities, the overall internal consistency of scale are higher than .89 and the internal consistency of factors of scale are higher than .66. The confirmative factor analysis using AMOS 21.0 and SPSS 21.0 to verify construct validity showed fit index at relatively satisfactory level for students with disabilities and without disabilities. Furthermore, while there were relatively strong convergent validity and discriminant validity in the sub-factors of scale for students without disabilities, the level of convergent validity and discriminant validity were relatively lower for students with disabilities.

As teenagers' Internet use increases and Internet takes an important part in their everyday lives, many people become concerned with Internet addiction. In this study, I attempt to analyze the current status of teenagers' Internet addiction using an evaluation tool developed for students, and to compare elementary students' Internet addiction level with secondary students. Also I analyze factors affecting Internet addiction. For the analysis, 18 variables are selected from the areas such as demographic background, the experience of Internet use, family-related traits and social activities. A survey was conducted to 1,155 elementary students and 1,822 secondary students selected from nationwide schools. The main finding of this study is that among the elementary students 5.0% of the sample students are in the stage of serious addiction, and 19.7% in the stage of early addiction. In addition, the level of elementary students' Internet addiction is significantly higher than the level of secondary students. Also, the degree of elementary students' Internet addiction is significantly affected by some factors such as gender, surfing time, surfing purpose, satisfaction with parental relationship, parents' interference in Internet use, conversation frequency among family members, and satisfaction with school life.
