The purpose of this study is to analyze high school chemistry curricula in Korea and China in order to identify possible implications for the improvement of the Korean curriculum. The school curricula of Korea and China had been developed by the Ministry of Education of both countries as national curricula. The 1996 Chinese high school chemistry curriculum, and the 7th Korean high school chemistry curriculum announced in 1997 were compared in respect to the characters, objectives, history, time allotment, structure, subject contents, and assessment plans. Based on the comparative analysis of the curricula, some of the ideas, which provide implications for the improvement of Korean chemistry curriculum, were identified. The identified ideas were elaborated to seek directions for the solutions of current problems in chemistry curriculum. such as common science subject. tentative implementation of curriculum, compulsory provision of chemistry, subjects in science course, enlargement of curriculum, and methods of assessment.

This study analysed inquiry process and activities of the inquiry area in the chemistry field of middle school science textbooks by the inquiry elements based on the 7th science curriculum. The purpose of this study is to grasp a degree of reflecting the 7th science curriculum in the 9th grade science textbooks, and to find out educational implications for the various inquiry learning. Overall, for the analysis of inquiry elements, basic inquiry elements except classification were well reflected on the middle school science textbooks in 9th grade. However, for the integrated inquiry elements, interpreting data occupies almost half of them. This phenomenon is shown in the analysis of inquiry process and inquiry activities, as well. Especially, project and field trip introduced in the 7th science curriculum are hardly found in the textbooks. 9th grade is classified as an upper grade in the 7th science curriculum in terms of inquiry level. Integrated inquiry elements and inquiry activity types, however, are not thoroughly reflected in the 9th grade science textbooks. It is desirable that a variety of inquiry learning of 9th grade be implemented by reconstructing inquiry area based on the results of this study. Hence the degree and ratio of utilizing the integrated inquiry elements and inquiry activity types to the inquiry area of science textbook in 9th grade should be studied.

In this paper we check over some problems in College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT) Mathematics section and propose some methods to improve the CSAT Mathematics section. CSAT has been changed several times with the change of the school curriculum. A Mathematics amended curriculum will apply in 2009 and we have to reorganize the system of CSAT. We investigate the changes in school curriculum and system of CSAT. Also we make a comparative study of the range of possible questions of CSAT with those of SAT and foreign national entrance exam for college.

제7차 교육과정은 선택과목을 확대하고 수준별 수업을 유도하고 있다. 이러한 방식에 따르면 중고등학생들이 대학에서처럼 자신이 수강신청한 과목에 따라 교실간에 이동하게 된다. 학교당국과 학생들이 기존 교실 환경내에서 이러한 교육적 변화를 적극적으로 수용할 수 있도록 소프트웨어적인 보조가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 시간표 작성 , 시설 배치도 작성, 교실 배정, 교실 위치 및 시간표 보기, 그리고 민감도 분석을 위한 통합 시스템을 제안한다.

수학은 합리적이고 논리적으로 사고하는 양식(style)의 학문으로서 과학기술이 발전함에 따라 점진적으로 변화하고 확장되는 개념의 집합체이다. 불확실한 미래사회에 대비하기 위하여 문제해결, 추론 및 의사결정의 기법은 학교수학에서 더욱 강조되어야 한다. 이러한 사회환경의 변화에 적극적으로 대처하기 위하여 7차 교육과정의 기본 방향을 ‘자율적 ${\cdot}$ 창의적인한국인 육성’으로 설정한 교육부는 국민 공통 기본 교육과정의 수학을 ‘단계형 수준별 교육과정’으로 규정하고, 1학년에서 10학년까지를 20개의 소단계(1-가에서 10-나)로 세분하고 있다. 그러나 단계형 수준별 교육과정을 지나치게 의식하게 되면, 학생들의 개인차나 협동학습, 학습평가 등의 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습의 여러 측면에서 자칫 혼란이 우려된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수준별 교육과정을 운영하고 있는 뉴질랜드의 교육과정을 살펴보고, 학생들의 자율성과 창의성을 신장할 수 있는 방안으로서 교과서의 재구성 방안과 이에 따른 교사의 역할을 살펴보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the 7th national science curriculum (chemistry domain) regarding the meanings of ‘mulgil' (Korean), the particulate nature of matter, and the state of matter. It was found that the term of ‘mulgil' was being used vaguely as representing material, matter, or substance without clear definition. This was problematic by reason that it could hinder students from having the concept of substance. Regarding the particulate nature of matter, molecule was introduced as a basic unit of matter at grade 7, prior to atom and ion, which were introduced at grade 9 and 10, respectively. It is necessary to reconsider the sequence of each particle concept to provide students with more consistent and comprehensive understanding of structure of matter. In the case of change of state, key concepts such as conservation of matter or reversibility were omitted in the curriculum document, and explanations based on various aspects of particles were somewhat insufficient. The concept of matter is fundamental to chemistry, and we must recognize it as a concept that needs to be taught clearly. Implications for curriculum revision were discussed.

Increasing the problem solving power in school mathematics is the most important task of mathematics education. It is the ultimate goal of mathematics education to help students develop their thinking and creativity and help solve problems that arise in the real world. In this study, we investigated the contents of problem solving according to mathematics curriculum goals from the first curriculum to current curriculum in Korea. This study analyzed the problem-solving contents of the mathematics textbooks reflecting the achievement criteria of the revised curriculum in 2015. As a result, it was the first curriculum to use the terminology of problem solving in the mathematics goal of Korea's curriculum. Interest in problem solving was most actively pursued in the 6th and 7th curriculum and the 2006 revision curriculum. After that, it was neglected to be reflected in textbooks since the 2009 revision curriculum, We have identified the problems of this problem-solving instruction and suggested improvement direction.

수학과 7차교육과정에서 가장 중요하게 생각하는 점이 수준별 단계형 교육과정이다. 특히, 수준별교육과정이 가장 핵심적인 역할을 하고 있다. 이에 따라 교육과정이 기본형, 심화형, 보충형으로 구분하여 제시하고 있는 실정이다 이러한 교육과정에 따라 수학교과서가 수준별이라는 큰 틀 안에서 구성되어졌다고 볼 수 있다. 하지만, 실제 교육현장에서 현재 출판된 수학교과서에서는 이러한 교육과정의 이상을 충분히 반영하고 있다고 보기 어렵다고 교사들이 느끼고 있다. 이러한 현실에서 새로운 교육과정에서는 이러한 이상을 충분히 고려한 수학교과서가 요구되어지고 있으며, 이러한 요구에 부합한 러시아의 실험 교과서를 바탕으로 하여 고등학교 수학I 수열단원을 중심으로 개인차를 고려한 새로운 교과서의 한 모형을 개발하여 제시하고자 한다.

In this study, searched how science museum reflects personality of course of study and target comparing display contents of science museum with high school earth science Ⅰand Ⅱ of the 7th curriculum. Result of this study is as following. First, area that earth science contents of course of study are exhibited has been less than 50%, and is preponderated by unit. Second, earth science course of study reflection degree of science museum is middle.(2.8 points of perfect score 5 points) Third, number of average mark of contents that is exhibited by science museum in significance level 0.05 lows is difference, and it is no difference by unit.

National curriculum is very important for the future of nation. So, continuous efforts are needed to improve the national curriculum. This study examined the issues and the problems related with the 7th optional mathematics curriculum, and gave the message about th: methods of implementation. For this, we analyzed the result of the questionnaire survey which consisted in the question about the 7th optional mathematics curriculum. 264 high school mathematics teachers are participated in this survey. We found the result that the 7th optional mathematics curriculum has the problem in contents and management. So, this study gave not only the problem but also the various concrete methods for management of the 7th optional mathematics curriculum. We hope that mathematics education members research and argue about the optional mathematics curriculum for next curriculum.
