In this study, the attitudes of about 1200elementary and secondary students towards sciences lessons and scientists were investigated. For the survey of this study, simillar numbers of students in Seoul were selected from the 5th, 8th and 11th grades and from both sexes. For the attitudes towards science lessons, in the survey questionnaire, there were questions on the type of science lesson which students prefer and on student's assessment of science lessons which they receive. For the attitudes towards scientists, there were questions on scientists whom students respect, on students assessment of scientists and on students assessment of themselves. Results of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) A great majority of students prefered the laboratory-based to classroom-based lessons, but this tendency was less apparent in olderstudents.More boys, compared with girls, prefered laboratory-based study. (2) The student's assessment of science lessons was positive in the elementary school, neutral in the middle school and negative in the high school level. Boys showed more positive attitudes towards the study of science. (3) Apparently more girls than boys mentioned Madam Curie as a scientist whom they respect, Students tended to respect scientists in terms of their personalities rather than their cognitive abilities. (4) Students tended to assess that scientist's are more able than themselves in cognitive areas while themselves are better in affective areas. The gap between student's asessments of scientists and that of themselves became bigger in high school students. The gap between boy's assessments of themselves and girl's assessments of themselves was bigger in high school level than in middle school. (5) The decline of students attitude towards science lessons was bigger than their attitude towards scientists.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare stress levels of elementary students according to three regional levels: a large city, a medium-sized city, and a rural area. Methods: This was a descriptive comparative survey using a convenience sample of 1,161 5th-and 6th-grade students. The stress level was measured by a stress scale that consisted of 65 items regarding personal characteristics, family, school, and peer factors. The data were analyzed by ${\chi}^2-test$, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression using the SPSS 10.0 statistical program. Results: Overall, the mean stress scores reported by the participants were near the middle of a 5-point scale and the level of family-related stress was highest, followed by peer, school, and individual-related stress. Sixth-graders and female students showed higher stress levels than 5th-graders and male students, respectively. The participants reporting unsatisfaction with their lives and those living in large cities tended to have significantly higher stress levels. Conclusion: Grade, gender, life satisfaction, and regional levels were all significant factors associated with high stress levels among elementary students. Development of stress management programs for this specific population, especially targeting students who are female and living in large cities, is needed.

2004년 5월부터 7월까지 광주광역시 일부지역 관내 28개 초등학교 31,510명(남자 16,653명, 여자 14,857명)의 신장과 체중의 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 대한소아과학회(홍창희, 2003)에서 나온 소아발육표준치를 기준으로 신장별 표준 체중표를 이용하여 비만도(%)=(실측체중-신장별 표준체중)/신장별 표준체중*100로 산출하였다. 산출된 비만도는 20~29.9%는 경도비만, 30~49.9%는 중증도 비만, 50%이상은 고도비만으로 분류하여 SAS PC+ 8.0 program을 이용하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 신장과 체중은 학년이 올라감에 따라 남학생과 여학생 모두 학년 간에 유의하게 향상하였다 (p<.001). 저학년에서는 여학생이 남학생 보다 신장이 작았으나 4학년때 키가 비슷해지고 5, 6학년에는 여학생이 남학생보다 신장이 큰것으로 나타났으며, 4학년을 제외한 모든 학년에서 남학생과 여학생의 신장은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p< .001). 모든 학년에서 남학생의 체중은 여학생의 체중보다 무거웠으며, 6학년을 제외하고는 남학생과 여학생의 체중은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p< .001). 2. 초등학교 학생의 비만율은 전체가 10.3%이었고, 남학생 (11.6%)이 여학생(8.8%)보다 비만율이 높았으며, 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p< .001). 특히 4학년 남학생의 비만율이 13.7%로 가장 높았다. 비만아동의 분포는 남학생의 경우는 경도비만이 6.5%, 중등도비만 4.4%, 고도비만 0.7% 순이었고, 여학생의 경우는 경도비만 5.2%, 중등도비만 3.1%, 고도비만 0.4% 순으로 나타났다. 3. 비만도별 비만아동 실태는 전체 비만아동은 3,231명으로 경도비만이 57.4%, 중등도비만이 37.1%, 고도비만이 5.5%로 나타났다. 남학생의 경우는 경도비만 55.9%, 중등도비만 38.0%, 고도비만 6.0% 순이었고, 여학생의 경우는 경도비만 59.5%, 중등도비만 35.8%, 고도비만 4.7% 순으로 나타났다. 또한 비만도가 30% 이상인 중증도 이상의 비만아동은 여학생보다 남학생의 비율이 높았다. 4. 학년에 대한 성별 비만율은 1학년 (p< .05), 4-6학년 (p< .001)에서 남학생이 여학생보다 비만율 높았으며 이는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 5. 고학년 학생 (11.0%)의 비만율이 저학년학생(9.5%)보다 높았으며 이는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p< .001). 이상의 결과들을 종합하여 보면 초등학생의 비만율은 여학생보다 남학생에서, 저학년보다 고학년에서 더 높게 나타났다. 아동비만은 점차 증가하고 있고 질병의 이환과 밀접한 관계가 있으므로 비만을 예방하고 체계적으로 관리할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발 실시하되, 비만율이 높은 고학년의 남학생을 중점적으로 관리해야함을 시사한다.

The 7th National Education Process, implemented in 2004, features student-oriented, selective educational programs with a wide range of optional subjects. In 2005, reflecting this revised National Education Process, the College Scholastic Ability Test began allowing individual students to choose the subjects for examination they would like to take. As a result, the deviations of the college freshmen's academic achievements in some subjects have noticeably widened. This study shows academic abilities of the students on some subjects by comparing the results of 2008 College Scholastic Ability Test with that of the Basic Academic Ability Evaluation Test for freshmen in engineering college of Hongik university. Lastly, this paper presents some improvement plans in order to better accommodate students with academic achievement levels lower than what is expected by the university.

The purpose of this research was to survey and compare the status of science preference of elementary school students with that of middle school students. Preference for science was defined theoretically. According to theoretical model, a questionnaire was developed with piloting and consisted of three parts. First part was for background information, second part, for measurement of science preference and third for measurement of the relevant factors of science preference. The questionnaire was modified for primary school students. In July 2002, the questionnaire was administered to one class per grade of randomly selected 8 elementary and 8 middle schools all over the country and analyzed result of collected 696 elementary school students and 819 middle school students. Middle school students' science preference was low compared with elementary school students, especially in 'emotional response and 'valuational comprehension'. The preference for science became lower especially from 4th to 5th grade and from 8th to 9th grade. The differences of mean science preference were significant by gender. perception of science achievement. and future career choice. The average of science preference relevant factors of middle school students also became lower than elementary students, especially in 'educational factor'. Multiple regression analysis on the science preference showed that important factors were personal ability, the personal traits, rewards in school science and contents of school science, slightly different in elementary and secondary school. The way to promote students' preference for science was suggested on the analysis result.

The purpose of this study was to investigate gifted students' verbal-nonverbal interactions in small grouped classes and to classify them into characteristics. For this study, an instrument to measure gifted student's verbal-nonverbal interactions was developed. The subjects were 16 students of 5th and 6th grades at H-area gifted center in rural area. Video recorded was classified each 5minutes by researchers. The results were as follows; First, verbal interactions were about 27% and non-verbal interactions were about 73%. Activities unrelated to learning were about 20%. Second, high achievement gifted students enjoyed verbal interactions including discussions. Third, gifted students can be classified 3 types(Spoken-centered, Written-centered and Played-centered) by interactions. The results revealed that gifted student's verbal-nonverbal interactions played an important role in communication between students and teacher as well as students. Small-grouped instructions according to characteristic and levels of gifted students are needed in gifted science education.

본 논문은 수학과 교육과정에서 지속적으로 강조되어 온 문제해결과 관련하여 제7차 교육과정 분석에서 논의되었던 계열성 측면에서 초등과 중등 수학에서 다루어지는 이원일차연립방정식 형태의 문장제 해결 과정에서 학생들이 보이는 특성을 면밀하게 탐색하였다. 분석 결과 초등학교 학생들은 이원일차연립방정식 형태의 문장제 해결 경험 및 학습의 차이가 있음에도 불구하고 성취도와 선호하는 전략에 있어서 학년 간 차이가 크게 나타나지 않았다. 또한, 초등학교 학생들은 이원일차연립방정식 형태의 문장제 해결에서 전략들 사이의 연결, 예상과 확인 전략의 효율적인 사용, 자연스러운 대수식 표현의 특징을 보였다. 본 연구는 초등학교 학생들의 이원일차연립방정식 형태의 문장제 해결 사례를 바탕으로 초등과 중등의 연계성을 찾을 수 있는 문제해결 지도에 대한 시사점을 제공한다.
