The purpose of this study was to analyze the science writing tasks in elementary science textbooks and workbooks using the presented form and the writing components analysis framework. For this study, the science writing tasks in the 2007, 2009 and 2015 revised elementary science textbooks and workbooks were analyzed. The results of this study are as follows. As a result of analyzing the presented form of science writing tasks, the number of books for science writing tasks was reduced and the tasks were changed to unclear form as the curriculum was revised from the 2007 to 2015. And the science writing tasks in the 2009 revised 5th~6th grades group were presented as writing and drawing, and they appeared as the most desirable form. As a result of analyzing science writing tasks using the writing components analysis framework, there was a difference according to the curricula and the grades groups, but they tended to be focused on some sub-factors. However, the science writing tasks reflecting the most diverse sub-factors were presented in the 2007 revised 5th~6th grades group.

In this study, we analyzed what STEAM-related subject contents, except mathematical knowledge, are contained in 2009 revised elementary first grade mathematics textbooks. STEAM-related subject contents in the textbooks were examined by unit and by strand of the content in the elementary school mathematics curriculum. According to the results, the number and the type of STEAM-related subject contents are different depending on the unit and the strand of the mathematics content. Generally speaking, in each unit and in each strand of mathematics, storytelling liberal arts-related contents are seen the most, followed by non-storytelling liberal arts-related contents and physical education contents in order, while the number of musical contents was very small. So we need to develop different STEAM materials in order to activate STEAM education in our elementary math classrooms.

The purpose of this study is to provide the justification of the subject through review and alternatives example on the internal consistency of Home Economics curriculum components focused to the clothing & textiles area based on the beliefs and values inherent in the Home Economics curriculum. For this purpose, we examined the perspective of the assumptions about the five components of the curriculum - family, society, objective, subject matter, method in education - from the revised curriculum in 2007 to in 2015, and suggests an example of subject matter based on the result. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the clothing & textiles area of the revised curriculum from in 2007 to in 2015, family, society, objective, subject matter and method in education, excluding subject matter, were taken from a critical science perspective. In order for Home Economics curriculum components to be internally consistent, assumptions about the subject matter should be transformed to deal with the clothing & textiles as a family work. And needed to complement assumptions about family, objective and method in education. Second, based on the discussion, suggested an alternative example to the clothing & textiles area based on the internal consistency of Home Economics curriculum components.

In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the physical science domain of TIMSS 2019 and the Korean science curriculum. Twelve subjects are presented in the physical science domain of the TIMSS 2019 4th grade evaluation framework. Research group consisting of elementary and middle school teachers and science education experts, a total of 12, participated to analyze in which grade these subjects were included in the Korea 2009 revised and 2015 revised science curriculum. As a results of analyzing whether the achievement standards of the TIMSS 2019 evaluation framework and Korean science curriculum are consistent, the subjects pertinent to chemistry like 'chemical changes in everyday life,' 'heat transfer,' and 'electricity and simple electrical circuits' appeared not covered at all until the 4th grade curriculum in Korea. Given that the TIMSS 2019 evaluation framework is an international achievement standard, we are proposing to improve the Korean curriculum as follows: first, for the development of the next science curriculum, there is a need for science curriculum organized from the 1st grade of elementary school to connect the content and scope of chemistry in elementary, middle, and high schools as a whole including the Nuri curriculum. Second, as an alternative to the problem of suitability of learning volume and level of learning, it is possible to think of a method to readjust the grade of dealing with related concepts by lowering the difficulty or simplifying the concept. Third, it is necessary to discuss about introducing essential concepts and standard terms into Korea science curriculum according to international trends.

The purpose of this paper was analyzing the contents of life science area in elementary science textbooks according to Korean science curricula change to get suggestions for the advancement of science curriculum. The framework of content analysis was developed by revising TIMSS 2015 life science evaluation framework. The results of this research were as follows: 'The differences of living things and non-living things appearing in the first grade mostly were not included in the 1st, the 6th and the 2009 revised curricula. Contents emphasizing rural life were appeared from 'Teaching themes period' to the 2nd curriculum period, disappeared from the 3rd curriculum period until the 2009 revised curriculum. Contagious disease was emphasized in all elementary grades in the 1st curriculum period, which reflected a social phenomena emphasizing health and hygiene after the Korean War. Mostly fungus was included until the 7th curriculum period and bacteria and virus were added from the 2007 revised curriculum period. The way of improving health was emphasized continuously.' The differences of living things and non-living things should be included in elementary science curriculum for the correct 'life' concept formation of elementary students. 'Strategies for helping the living of descendants' and 'the heredity of animal and plant' which were appeared in the lower grades, should be included at the higher grades with greater depth. The incoming elementary science textbooks also need to include science contents about evolution in greater depth, along with human health.

Since the 7th revision of national mathematics curriculum, it has been recommended that the concept of function be introduced based on the dependent relation between variables. The 2009 revision of national mathematics curriculum shares this way of conceptualizing function. In this context, this study analyzes the effect of this revision of the mathematics curriculum on middle school students' conceptualization of function. To be specific, this study investigates the characteristics of students' conceptualization of function through task-based in-depth interviews. It also investigates how teachers introduce function through interview. The analysis show that the middle school students had a lack of understanding about dependent relation in function. The teachers also had difficulties in teaching concept of function based on dependent relation. In the conclusion, this study makes some suggestions for teaching the function in middle school classes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the suitability of elective of the 2009 revised high school science curriculum. This study surveyed 911 students in 126 high schools by using proportionate stratified sampling. Each participating students carried out the on-line survey comprising 13 items about personal and academic suitability. The result of analyzing the response of the questionnaire were as follows. First, there were deviation of study-load, depth, difficulty, etc. between science elective I and II. Second, even though 'science' subject was developed as a subject for improving scientific literacy, it was found that it was considered difficult next to Physics I. Besides, it showed 'science' subject could not function properly to improve the ability to communicate. According to the results of analyzing the degree of interest in science elective, it can not be determined 'no interest in subject' is from the reason of difficulty or large amount of contents to memorize. The results of this study will be useful to provide suggestions for the improvement of next high school science curriculum and textbooks.
