Students' perception of science-related career strongly influences the formation of career motivation in science. Especially, the high level of science gifted students' positive perceptions plays an important role in allowing them to continue to study science. This study compared perceptions of science-related career between general and gifted middle school students using semantic network analysis. To ensure this end, we first structuralize semantic networks of science-related careers that students perceived. Then, we identified the characters of networks that two different student groups showed based on the structure matrix indices of semantic network analysis. The findings illustrated that the number of science-related careers shown in science gifted students' answer is more than in general students' answer. In addition, the science gifted students perceived more diverse science-related careers than general students. Second, scientific career such as natural scientists and professors were shown in the core of science gifted students' perception network whereas non-research oriented careers such as science teachers and doctors were shown in the core of general students' perception network. In this study, we identified the science gifted students' perceptions of science-related career was significantly different from the general students'. The findings of current study can be used for the science teachers to advise science gifted students on science-related careers.

This study investigated the impact of student-centered instructions on students' academic achievement in science and on their attitudes toward science. Participants included 208 middle school students. The pre- and post-test control group design was employed. The control group was designed to have traditional instructions while experimental group 1 was applied both student-centered instructions and traditional instructions, and experimental group 2 was applied student-centered instructions only. The chaper of "Stimulus and Response" was selected for this study, and students were treated for 15 hours. Data were analysed using ANOVA. Results indicated that student-centered instruction had a significant effect on students' academic achievement(p<.01). The improvement of achievement through student-centered lesson is neither depending on genders nor previous academic achievement levels. Student-centered instruction also had a significant effect on students' attitudes toward science(p< .01). Only half of the class if a student-centered lessons and improve attitudes toward science could be. The improvement of the attitudes toward science through student-centered instruction is not depending on genders. But, student-centered instruction was more effective on the average student and the lower level students than the upper level students.

웹 기반 프로젝트학습은 학생들 스스로 웹에서 자신들의 제작물을 만들면서 자신의 기능과 지식을 실제로 적용하는 과정과 학습경험을 모두 의미한다. 그러므로 학습자들의 다양하고 폭넓은 학습활동이 기대된다. 본 연구에서 설계한 프로젝트 학습 시스템은 수시로 교사와 전문가의 도움도 받고 다른 팀의 동료 학생들로부터 평가를 받으면서 아동의 관심과 흥미, 주제 중심, 활동 중심, 문제 중심의 프로젝트 활동을 할 수 있도록 한다. 그리고 이들 웹 상에서 구현함으로써 학습자 중심의 공동 프로젝트 학습이 되도록 한다.

과거의 대학교육이 교수 중심의 공급자 중심이었다고 한다면 미래의 교육은 수요자 중심의 교육, 즉 학생 중심의 교육이 되어야 한다는 논의가 무성하다. 또한 교육과정을 이수하고 졸업한 학생을 채용하는 기업이 바라는 교육의 내용이 무엇인지를 아는 것은 매우 중요하며 공학인증제도의 도입노력과 연관된다. 즉 회사가 채용한 대학 졸업생의 실력을 통하여 대학의 교육성과를 최종수요자인 회사가 평가하여 그 결과를 대학의 교육과정에 피드백하는 것이 공-학인증제도의 취지이다. 그러므로 회사가 원하는 졸업생의 능력을 갖추도록 대학교육의 커리큘럼을 구성하는 것이 바람직하고 그렇지 못한 대학은 채용에 있어서 불이익을 받을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate influencing factors of nursing students' academic stress focusing on dimensions of empathy, ego-resilience, and stress coping strategies. Academic stress, dimensions of empathy, ego-resilience, and stress coping strategies among subjects were collected using structured questionnaires from 305 nursing students between November 1, 2015 and November 30, 2015. The results of this study showed that the factors affecting nursing students' academic stress were grade, personality orientation, major satisfaction, ego-resilience and emotion focused coping style, and the total explanatory power was 54.1%. To improve nursing students' academic stress, it is necessary to pay attention to the nursing students who are in their upper grades, extroverted, and with low major satisfaction. In developing a program to reduce academic stress, it is thought that it is necessary to include measures to raise the level of ego-resilience and to improve the level of emotion focused coping style among stress-coping strategies, and to conduct subsequent research to identify pathways in which the dimensions of empathy, ego-resilience and stress-coping strategies affect academic stress.

This study was conducted for one semester through one group pretest-posttest design with 49 first-year middle school students to explore the effects of mathematics-centered STEAM class experiences on students' mathematical modeling abilities. The main results of this study are as follows: First, the results of the pre and post-mathematical modeling ability tests showed that the average score of posttest was improved compared to the pretest, and that the experiences of mathematics-centered STEAM classes provided in this study had a positive effect on improving the mathematical modeling ability of first-year middle school students. Second, STEAM classes were more effective in solving mathematical modeling problems that require students' creative and divergent thinking. Third, the content analysis of student responses for each subquestion showed that STEAM classes were especially more helpful in activating students' mathematical model construction and validating steps.

The purposes of this research are to identify the subjective perception type of science and engineering graduates about good university and to analyze the differences of their undergraduates' experiences among types. Using Q methodology, 29 statements about a good university, reflecting on the previous research as well as quality assurance criteria in higher education, were administered to 16 science and engineering graduates for ranking using a Q-sort procedure. As a result 16 graduates were classified into three types according to their preference for 29 statements. Type 1, oriented student experience, recognized that a good university encourages students to participate in various activities and experiences. Type 2, oriented institutional outcomes, recognized that a good university is ranked high in criteria such as employment rate, research outcome, and entrance exam scores etc. Type 3, oriented educational activity, recognized that a good university is regarded as a community focusing on teaching and learning. Finally, considering the finding of the research, some pedagogical and administrational implications were suggested for quality improvement in higher education.

This study examined the effect of the Collaborative Problem-Solving for Character Competence (CoProC) instruction model within the context of secondary science education. The participants of this study were comprised of 143 Korean students, each of whom was in the 10th grade spread across four class cohorts. These cohorts were further divided into an experimental group (comprised of 73 students from two different classes), which received the CoProC program; and a control group (70 students from two other classes), which did not. In order to assess the effect of CoProC instruction model upon participants' character competence, we designed and administered a Character Competence Test for participants. The CoProC instruction model consists of 3 fundamental steps: Preparation, Problem-solving, and Evaluation. Key character competence targeted in the CoProC program include caring, collaboration, communication, responsibility, respect, honesty, self-regulation, and the development of positive self-image. Thus, these same qualities were targeted and analyzed in the Character Competence Test, which was administered before and after the CoProC activities. The results show a significant increase in the experimental group's competency for caring, collaboration, responsibility, respect, and self-regulation when compared to the control group. Based on these results, we have found that CoProC instruction model to be an effective teaching intervention toward cultivating character competence in a secondary science education setting.
