The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference and relations in science related attitudes and science achievement in highschool students. Investigated differences between science related attitudes and science achievement and evaluated variations within city type, gender, grade level group. 404 high school students in Korea were sampled by cluster sampling method. Two instruments were used in this study. The ABC inventory(affection. behavioral intention. cognition scale of attitude toward science) was developed by the researcher(Lee, 1996, 1997). And MSAS(modified scientific attitude scale) has modified previous one. The major results are as follows: 1. Highschool students' Attitude toward Science is 3.24, 5-rating summative Likert scales. It showed slightly positive and favorable. 2. Highschool students' Scientific Attitude is 3.37, 5-rating summative Likert scales. It showed slightly positive tendencies of scientific attitude. 3. Findings indicated that middle' small city's students scored higher in Attitude toward Science and Scientific Attitude than metropolitan students. 4. The relationship between Attitude Toward Science and Scientific Attitude is 0.5716. The relationship between Scientific Attitude and Science Achievement is weaker than the relationship Attitude Toward Science and Science Achievement. 5. The results of three-way ANOVA indicated that were significant group differences(p<.05) in Attitude toward Science and Scientific Attitude. 6. After adjustment for the covariate(Scientific Attitude's score), statistically significant main effects of all group were found on the Attitude toward Science(p>.05). But after adjustment for the covariate(Attitude toward Science's score), statistically no significant main effects of all group were found on the Scientific Attitude(p>.05).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of reading education program for high school on students' self-esteem and reading attitude and satisfaction of students through the whole reading education process. The program that consists of 10 classes was developed and reading education was conducted. Through analysis of pre-post variance in self-esteem and reading attitude, effects of reading education has been proved. Also, satisfaction as evaluation about the whole reading education process was surveyed. As a result, it was found that reading education that uses program based on board game affects high school students' self-esteem and reading attitude, enhances reading attitude and promotes reading motivation.

In this study, high school students' environmental conceptions and attitudes, and their relationships with affective variables (self-esteem, enjoyment of science lesson, and leisure interest in science) were investigated. Students' environmental conceptions were found to be low, and male students' environmental conceptions were higher than female students. However, the environmental attitudes of female students were more positive than those of male students. There were no differences between male and female students in the ecocentric attitudes, but male students had more egocentric attitudes than female students. Students of higher prior science achievement level possessed higher level of environmental conceptions than their counterparts. Among the affective variables studied, leisure interest in science was significantly correlated with environmental attitudes.

This study analyzes the surveys of attitudes toward science, the peer relationship, the achievement motivations, and the parents' attitudes to science gifted education. It have been conducted to 53 scientifically gifted and 120 non-gifted students. The findings from the analyses suggest that there exist few meaningful differences in the attitude toward science, the motive for achievements and the peer relationship except in the parents' attitude to the gifted student education. This means that the recognition and the attitude of the parents have great influences on non-gifted students especially female students in the process of resolving to take future directions to science fields and choosing the gifted education center. Accordingly, we are in dire need of the changes in the social recognition of science and it is strongly recommended to seek for the ways of promoting science and supporting engineering graduates at the level of nation, thereby establishing legal and institutional foundations to make effective human resource arrangements.

This study was to investigate the effect of socio-ecological factors on school violence attitude on middle school students. The subjects were 100 students in J metropolitan city and 100 students in S city. Data were analyzed using frequency, mean, standard deviation and hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS WIN 24.0 program. Factors affecting an attitude of school violence were the level of aggressiveness of student, parenting attitude, and teachers' attitude to violence. Therefore, in order to reduce school violence. For this purpose, it will be necessary to develop a program to manage the aggressiveness of middle school students and to have a proper awareness of the students' school violence attitude in connection with parents and teachers.

The purpose of this study is to examine changes in Korean middle school students' affective attitudes toward mathematics over the past 5 cycles of TIMSS. To this end, we first analyzed the changes in students' affective attitudes towards mathematics in five major countries, and then analyzed the changes in Korean students' affective attitudes toward mathematics by item. As a result of the study, there were positive changes in Korean students' interest, confidence, and value perception of mathematics during the recent 5 cycle of TIMSS. Korean male students' affective attitude toward mathematics is higher than that of female students, and the gender gap has been increasing recently. There was a large difference in the affective attitudes toward mathematics among Korean students, depending on their achievement level, and in particular, the affective attitudes toward mathematics of students at the lower achievement level remained significantly low. Item-level analysis revealed a decrease in Korean students' awareness of the necessity of mathematics in daily life. Based on these results, we discussed the implications for cultivating Korean students' affective attitudes. It is hoped that the results of this study will be meaningfully used as basic data for examining the performance of mathematics education in Korea and contribute to developing measures to foster students' positive attitudes toward mathematics.

In this study, high school students' perceptions and attitudes toward nanotechnology are examined through questionnaires gathered from 1704 high school students (five general high schools and two science high schools). As a result, the study shows that high school students have generally high perceptions and positive attitudes toward nanotechnology. Science high school students show more positive attitudes and correct knowledge toward nanotechnology rather than general high school students do. High school students get information on nanotechnology via various sources such as TV and internet, whereas they have rarely perceived to get information on nanotechnology in textbooks and science class. They think that newspaper and TV programs are proper methods to introduce new science technology and get information on the advanced science and technology through the internet and science teachers. High school students show positive attitudes toward the application of nanotechnology, whereas they show negative attitudes toward personal information chips and nano-taste enhancer. And they trust nanotechnology researchers and science teachers, whereas they rarely trust about government, public organizations, and internet.
