The purpose of this study was to analyze the STS (science-technology-society) contents in chemistry chapters of middle school science textbooks standardized by 7th national curriculum, and to investigate chemistry teachers' perception of STS education. This study was based on 8 essential elements in STS education suggested by Yager and 9 activities in SATIS (science and technology in society). The questionnaire and interview were used to investigate chemistry teachers' perception. As a result of this study, the average value of the STS contents in chemistry chapters of 7 kinds of middle school science textbooks was 22.4%, and the STS contents were preponderated to essential elements of science application and local and community relevance. And STS contents showed that science 2 textbooks were the most of all and in order of science 1 textbooks and science 3 textbooks. As a result of analysis by activities in SATIS, most activities were practice activity, problem-solving and decision making, and structured discussion. Chemistry teachers' perceptions of STS education were following. There were many responses that STS education was necessary for educational efficiency. On the other hand STS education was unnecessary because there were few effective teaching-learning method related with STS education. From these results, middle school science textbooks have to be complemented because 2 essential elements of the STS contents were preponderated in the science textbooks. And the teaching-learning method connected with STS education will have to be developed for the efficiency of STS education.

The 7th curricula of computer education as a general subject for secondary schools in Korea has relatively stressed on the application softwares as a learning tools. Such approach might be very successful in terms of ICT literacy education, but it is not enough to teach fundamental concepts and principles of information technologies and computer science and it has also limitation to apply such knowledge to expand students' intellectual capabilities. Therefore, in this paper we first investigates the reason of introducing computer science principle education according to IT fluency and show appropriate direction of computer education curricula for secondary schools.

최근 나타나고 있는 이공계기피 현상으로 인해 우리나라 과학계 및 과학교육은 큰 위기를 맞고 있다. 21세기 국가의 생존을 위해서는 과학기술의 발전이 그 무엇보다도 중요하다. 과학기술 기반을 튼튼히 하기 위해서는 과학기술계에 종사할 적절한 수준의 인적자원이 필요하며, 이와 같은 인적자원 육성은 초중등학교 과학교육에서 기초가 다져진다고 할 수 있다. 교육과정은 학교 교육의 기본 설계도라고 할 수 있기 때문에 교육과정이 어떻게 개정되느냐에 따라 초중등학교의 과학교육은 엄청난 영향을 받게 된다. 현재 제7차 교육과정이 전면적으로 시행되고 있으나 국가${\cdot}$사회의 다양한 요구에 의해 교육과정 개정이 불가피하게 되었으며, 이에 따라 교육인적자원부는 교육과정 개정을 추진하고 있다. 이와 같은 중요한 시기에 우리 나라 과학교육의 문제점과 발전 방안을 모색하는 것은 매우 의미 있는 일이 다.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the computer education experience of high school graduates that were taught under the 7th curriculum and present insight into the making of required courses for college. To achieve this purpose questionnaires were given to college freshmen to fill out about computer education performed not only during middle school, but also outside of the classroom. For suggestions towards computer courses for college students, how students are being taught the use of computers, how students are using computers, and the computer proficiency of the students were assessed.

Many researchers have studied students' error patterns in learning mathematics but the results haven't much effected on teaching situation. This paper is to find out how the results have been reflected on 6th and 7th Korean elementary school mathematics textbooks, workbooks, and teachers' guide books. The focuses of analysis are the four; (a)Type of materials, (b)Type of problems, (c)Type of errors and number of rela- ted problems, and (d)organization and explanation type. Results indicate that both 6th and 7th materials don't use effectively students' error patterns to teach computation, in particular, 7th textbooks scarcely treat them. It suggests that we should grope a way to use the fruitful results of this area to teach mathematics effectively.

제7차 교육과정에 따른 중등 과학 교과서 중 화학 영역에 사용된 비유를 분석하였다. 전체 35권의 교과서에서 비유 사용 빈도는 325회로 13쪽마다 평균 1회 사용되었고, 단 한 번만 사용된 비유가 많았다. 유형별로는 기능적 비유, 언어와 그림을 모두 사용한 비유, 추상적 목표물을 구체적 비유물로 설명한 비유, 단순 비유와 부연 비유, 교사 중심 비유, 체계성이 낮은 비유가 많았고, 일상 비유와 작위적 비유가 비슷하게 사용되었다. 교과서 본문 중에 '비유‘라는 용어를 사용한 경우는 적었으며, 제한점에 대한 언급은 거의 없었다. 제6차 교육과정에 따른 과학 교과서에 비하여 쪽 당 비유의 수는 증가하였으나, 표현 방식, 작위성, 학습자 참여성을 제외한 모든 유형에서 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 이 결과들에 대한 교육적 시사점을 논의하였다.

지도 학습은 7차 교육과정의 초등학교 3학년 1학기 사회 교과서 1단원, 우리 고장의 모습에서 그림지도를 중심으로 전체 차시인 19차시에 걸쳐 다루고 있다. 그리고 4학년 1학기 사회 교과서 1단원, 우리 시 도의 모습에서도 지도의 기본 요소인 방위, 기호, 축척, 등고선을 중심으로 17차시 중 7차시에 걸쳐 학습하게 되어 있다. 그러나 자료 제작의 어려움, 개인 수준 차이로 인하여 제대로 지도 학습을 하기는 어렵다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 초등학생 지도 학습을 위한 상호작용적 WBI를 설계하고 구현하였다. 교육과정의 내용을 재구성하여 준비, 방위, 기호, 축척, 등고선, 지도 그리기의 6개 영역 아래 기본학습과 심화학습을 하게 되며, 심화학습은 학습자가 적극적으로 참여하여 학습할 수 있게 하였다. 그리고 심화학습을 마치면 보물찾기 활동이 이루어지면서 학습의 재미를 느끼도록 하였다. 이 외에도 우리들의 이야기, 토의하기 둥 다양한 상호작용 기능을 제공하여 학습의 이해를 돕는 WBI를 구현하였다.

The challenge of education reform and the demand for textbook revision were inevitable as to help people manage changes in the twenty-first century. The 7th educational program not only has different educational goals, purposes and methods compare to the previous 6th program, but also introduces an epochal plan so called "free-choice learning" which involves considerable choices on the part of the learner as to what and which subject to learn. For the education on mathematics, applying computer and calculators to the studies were one of the goals educational process. This research encompasses ways to approach computer application in the 7th high school s on mathematics. The main contents of our paper are analysis of 16 different kinds of high school textbooks, its status of uses in each textbooks, math relating programs, use of computers, use of programs, use of computers in each textbooks and use of internets.internets.

In this study, we investigated preservice secondary science teachers' uses of curriculum materials in curriculum design through a case study. Two preservice science teachers at a college of education in Seoul participated in this study. We interviewed them about their beliefs on teaching and learning prior to their teaching students. We then observed their teaching and collected all of the teaching/learning materials. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted before and after the instructions. Their uses of curriculum materials were systematically analyzed in the aspects of reading, evaluating and adapting curriculum materials. The analyses of the results revealed that their uses of curriculum materials had a significant difference in curriculum design. There was a difference in the way of reading curriculum materials that derived from different perspectives of curriculum reconstruction. The perspectives of curriculum reconstruction also affected the way of adapting curriculum materials. While the 'adding' was an important adaptation in curriculum design with active perspectives, the 'changing' was an important one with passive perspectives. In addition, the degrees of evaluating curriculum materials from the learners' views depended on their beliefs on teaching and learning. It was also connected to qualitative differences of adaptation in 'increasing student control over an activity' and 'increasing teacher control over an activity'. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.
