The purpose of this study is to find historical paradigm shift of the environmental subject in Korean school curriculum. For the purpose, two research questions guided this study. First, we would like to find out the changes in environmental education curriculum by interpreting the Korean national curriculum. Second, we want to know about the paradigm shift of environment education in Korea. In this study, curriculum documents, teachers' guide books, textbooks, and other educational materials were used for literature review. The results are as follows: First, Robottom and Hart's frame of three paradigms in environmental education research, positivism, interpretivism and social criticism, was suitable in interpreting curriculum. Second, the curriculum of environment subject has substantially changed from 6th to 2007 revised curriculum. Third, while the 6th curriculum was strongly affected by the positivism and education 'about' the environment, the 7th curriculum had been influenced by the interpretivism and education 'in/through' the environment, and the 2007 revised curriculum is under the influence of the education 'for' the environment and social critical paradigm.

This study aims to compare and analyze the types of teaching-learning activities, themes and percentage of STS contents in the area of "The Earth and the Universe" in elementary science subject following the 7th Curriculum and 2007 Revised Curriculum, identifying how STS education has changed and their features. First, the number of pages where STS appears in the 2007 revised science textbook has increased over 10% compared to the that of the 7th curriculum. In particular, the number of pages in the 5th and 6th graders increased substantially to 15% and 34%, respectively. Second, as a result of analysis on components of STS, 'applications of science', 'local and community relevance', 'social problem and issues', 'evaluation concerned fir getting and using information' were obtained in the order named for the 7th curriculum; while 'applications of science', 'local and community relevance', 'career awareness' and 'social problem and issues' were obtained in the order named for 2007 revised curriculum. Third, with regard to the analysis on theme areas, the 7th curriculum was found to cover the theme on use of natural resources most frequently, followed by environmental problem, while 2007 revised curriculum to cover environmental problem and effects of technical development most frequently, followed by space development and use of natural resources. Fourth, in the area of STS teaching activities, 'investigation activity' showed highest percentage in 7th curriculum, followed by 'analysis of data', and 'research design', while 'analysis of data' showed highest frequency of appearance, followed by "investigation activity' and 'actual activities' and 'research design' in the order named in 2007 revised curriculum, showing that the area of 'analysis of data' and 'actual activities' increased substantially compared to the 7th curriculum.

The purpose of this study was to investigate about current status of science field study in elementary schools. A total of 72 elementary teachers in Busan and Gyungnam districts were involved and the data from questionnaire was gathered. The questionnaire was comprised two parts: items on general level include the epistemological aspect and actual condition and items on concrete level according to chapters of elementary school science curriculum. The major findings are as follows: 1. Many teachers cognize the requirement of science field study in 7th Korean elementary school science curriculum is larger than 6th one. But they respond the actual number of science field study in 7th curriculum is nearly equal to 6th. 2. In analysis to grades, the actual number of field study decrease as grade is high. 3. In the science content aspects, the requirement of field study is the largest on biology domain and earth science domain. 4. Many teachers have pointed out “the difficulty of administration for field study” and “inappropriated surrounding of their school” as the problems of science field study in elementary school.

사진과 삽화는 현행 과학 교과서에서 핵심적인 시각적 표상 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 6차와 7차 교육과정에 따른 고등학교 지구과학 교과서에 사용된 사진과 삽화의 기능 및 구조를 비교 분석하였다. 기능 분석 결과, 6차와 7차 모두 예시적 기능이 차지하는 비율이 압도적으로 높았으며, 보충적 기능의 비율이 가장 낮았다. 7차의 경우 사진과 삽화의 기능들이 6차에 비해 다양해졌는데, 이것은 지구과학 II 보다는 I에서 보다 두드러지게 나타났다. 특히, 6차에서는 극히 미미하게 나타났던 보충적 기능과 설명적 기능이 7차에서는 증가하였으며, 장식적 기능 또한 전반적으로 증가한 것으로 분석되었다. 구조 분석 결과, 6차에 비해 7차에서 참조가 현저하게 감소하여 본문과의 연계성 면에서 오히려 퇴보한 것으로 분석되었다. 단독 사진이나 삽화에 비해 다중 구성의 비율이 증가한 것으로 나타났으나, 짝이나 연속 구성에서는 발전된 점이 나타나지 않았다. 앞으로의 과학 교과서 개발에서 사진과 삽화의 기능에서 탐구적 기능을, 구조에서 보완적 구성을 추가할 것과 사진과 삽화를 포함한 시각적 표상의 기능과 구조 측면을 과학 교과서 검정 준거로 활용할 것을 논의하였다.

English textbooks play essential roles in the whole English education context, the analytic study on English textbooks is very important in English education tasks. The purpose of this study is to analyze the expressive functions in the middle school English textbooks on the basis of the 6th national curriculum characteristics and the textbook analysis theories. The results of the expressive language function analysis are as follow: the teaching contents designed for the expressive language functions are not varied, but concentrated on the specific teaching types, and the teaching contents for the expressive language functions are not graded according to the students' development principles stated clearly in the 6th curriculum. The results of the English textbook analysis on the basis of the expressive language function analysis show that the 6th curriculum has some problems in itself and the middle school textbooks do not conform to the 6th curriculum principles. Therefore we need to improve the teaching contents for language functions by means of developing various types of teaching language functions.

Primary school is regarded as an important period when many health-related behaviors and life-styles begin to be formed. Acquiring them through school heath education has a strong influence on the health promotion of not only the family but also the community. Primary school health education in Korea has a systematic flaw in that health-related subjects are divided and taught under various subjects in primary school. In order to develop a proper school health curriculum, it is essential to assess what is currently being taught. In this study the current health education of the 6th grade primary curriculum was investigated to improve school health education. The purpose of this study is to identify the health education contents and time in textbooks of the 6th grade primary school curriculum. In this study, the textbooks & teacher's teaching manuals of the 6th grade curriculum were analyzed with a health instruction framework for Korean schools developed by the Korean Nurse Association & Korean School Health Education Association in 1993 and health care framework for health education curriculum presented by Kim in 1991. The results are as follows ; 1) Health education hours of the curriculum are 206 hours, about 34.3 hours a year. 2) The contents of health education were divided into nine subjects at primary schools. Organizing principles of learning experience(eg, integrity, sequence and continuity) were not considered sufficiently. The physical education & natural science subjects include a lot of health education contents. 3) The major content areas are community & environmental health areas and daily healthy life areas. 4) The major areas at each grade level are daily healthy concerns and safety & first-aid 5) The remarkable contrast to the 5th primary school curriculum are that environmental health is offered to the first grade step by step, and that drug use & abuse and mental health education are included in the 6th primary school curriculum. 6) The main contents of health education in 1st, 2nd. and 3rd grade curricula consist of treatment & recovery health functions. Those of the 4th grade curriculum consist of treatment & recovery health functions, and daily healthy life functions. Those of the 5th grade consist of growth & development functions. Those of the 6th grade consist of treatment & recovery health, growth & development functions. Most health care functions belong to physical health care. The results above suggest that we put together the divided contents of health education and manage them on the basis of systematic integration.

7차 과학과 교육과정은 개발단계에서부터 줄어든 수업시수에 대한 대처방안의 마련이 매우 중요한 문제였다. 본 연구는 6차와 7차 과학과 교육과정을 분석함으로서 7차 교육과정에 나타난 수업시수 축소의 관점을 탐색하고 문제점을 밝히고자 하였다. 과학과 내용체계를 이루는 과학주제용어분석에서 첫째, 7차의 내용체계에 새로 등장한 과학주제들은 6차의 과학주제들의 세부주제를 이루었던 과학개념들로서 실질적인 변화는 거의 없었다. 둘째, 7차 교육과정에서는 과학주제들이 나타내는 과학개념을 맥락적이고 개념적으로 그 범위를 제한하는 용어수가 크게 증가하였다. 세째, 두 교육과정에서 공통으로 나오는 각 과학주제당 배당되는 수업시수, 즉 표면 시수가 과학주제 개수와 전체 교육과정 상의 시수 축소율 30%를 고려할 때 6차의 약 38.5%임이 추정되었다. 학년별 내용을 이루는 각 과학주제별 서술문장에 대한 분석에서는 개념중심으로 추출된 세부주제로부터 해진 수업시수, 즉 실질 시수는 표면 시수보다 대부분의 과학주제에서 크게 나타났다. 특히, 주제 '날씨'와 '땅'은 실질 시수가 현저하게 증가하고 있어서 개념적으로 서술된 교육과정을 현상적으로 접근하면서 수업시수를 줄이는 문제가 쉽지 않을 것을 예측케 한다.
