The purpose of this study is to present a Freedom Inquiry Method by Revised Science Curriculum in 2007. This study introduced IIM(Independent Inquiry Method), PBL(Problem Based Learning), Small Inquiry Method, Science Notebooks, Project Learning Method about Freedom Inquiry Method. The results of this study are as follows: First, IIM(Independent Inquiry Method) is studying method in the inquiry process center. The inquiry process is composed of total 9 phases, inquiry subject really it is, detailed aim deciding, information searching, it searches, quest result it arranges, aim evaluation, the report making, it announces, it evaluates, it is become accomplished. Second, It is a studying method which it starts with the problem which is Problem Based Learning, study atmosphere creation phase, problematic presentation phase and sleep static problem solving the phase which it attempts, it is become accomplished with autonomous studying phase, coordinated studying and discussion studying phase, discussion resultant announcement studying phase, arrangement and evaluation. Third, Small Inquiry Method, Call it accomplishes the call grade of the students among ourselves 4~8 people degree where only the quest learning capability is similar within class. Also interaction and coordinated function of the members between it leads and the subject which is given in the group it cooperates and it solves with it is a quest method which arrives to aim of commonness. This method divides on a large scale in three parts, it becomes accomplished in programming phase, quest accomplishment and resultant announcement. Fourth, Science Notebooks learns a scientific contents and a scientific quest function and the possibility of decreasing in order to be, from the fact that the help which it understands. This planing, data searching, it searches, becomes accomplished with resultant arrangement, announcement and evaluation. Fifth, The Project Learning Method the studying person oneself studying contents, it establishes a plan and it collects it accomplishes process of etc. it evaluates it leads and a subject and information and with real life it is a method which it studies naturally from the learning environment inside which is similar. This is preliminary phase, project start, project activity and project arrangement.

초 중고 과학 교육에서는 과학적 소양의 함양을 그 학습 목표로 하고 있으며 이를 위해서 학생들은 과학자들이 어떻게 과학적 지식을 정립해 가는지를 이해하는 과정이 필요하다고 주장하고 있다. 하지만 학교에서의 과학 탐구는 오로지 경험을 중시하는 실험 위주의 과학 탐구를 실행, 어떻게 자신들이 수집한 자료가 세운 이론에 합당한지를 밝히는 논증활동이 없다는 것이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이 고찰 논문은 학교에서의 과학 탐구가 과학자들의 그것과 다르며, 실질적 과학 탐구의 실현을 위해서는 교사들이 탐구 자체의 정의, 목표 및 요소를 정확하게 이해하고, 과학적 논증기회를 부여하기 위한 적절한 교수 전략을 개발해야 함을 보여주고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to device the teaching-learning method and the evaluating method on 'free inquiry' which is newly introduced in 2007 revised curriculum. The teaching-learning models which apply 'free inquiry' are 'group investigation', 'PBL', 'project investigation' and 'IIM'. And the unit which apply 'free inquiry' on the fourth grade and the second semester in the elementary science. The results of this study are as follows: First, The person leading the lesson is not a teacher but learners. The focus of teaching-learning is not a unit but topic, problem or project on the science textbook. A teacher's role is not the deliverer of knowledge but the guide of learning. Second, the outcome of applying group investigation, PBL project investigation and IIM to 'free inquiry' is improvements of the problem-solving ability and the self-directed learning ability as well as building scientific attitude and social skills as educational effect in commonly. Third, to apply 'free inquiry' efficiently, teachers should understand each subject very well, teach a class with a thorough and concrete plan, and try to evaluate objectively.

고등학교 과학교과서의 개선을 위한 제안을 제시하기 위해 한국과 미국 고등학교 지구과학 교과서의 지질학 영역에 있는 탐구 활동이 탐구내용, 탐구과정, 탐구상황 면에서 평가되었다. 탐구활동의 내용에서, 한국 교과서는 단원 당 5.8개로 미국 교과서의 단원 당 4개보다 더 많은 탐구활동 개수를 포함하고 있었다. 한국 교과서는 대부분 도표나 그래프 등 자료해석에 관련된 탐구활동을 포함하고 있고 미국 교과서는 스스로 조작하는 실험이나 자료변형 그리고 직접설계 할 수 있는 탐구활동 기회를 제공하고 있다. 탐구활동 1개당 사용된 탐구과정 개수는 한국 교과서가 평균 1.8개인 반면 미국 교과서는 3개로 미국 교과서가 한국 교과서보다 더욱 다양한 탐구과정을 사용한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 모든 교과서에서 가장 많이 사용된 탐구과정 요소는 추리와 자료해석으로 이 두 요소의 비율은 한국 교과서는 평균 73.3%이고 미국 교과서는 46.2%였다. 즉 한국 교과서는 특정 탐구과정 요소만을 강조하였고, 이런 고르지 못한 탐구과정 요소의 분포는 학생의 통합능력 신장에 저해요인으로 작용할 수도 있을 것으로 판단된다. 특히 통합적 탐구과정에서 미국교과서는 7개의 모든 요소가 다 제시되었지만 한국 교과서는 단지 2개 내지 4개의 요소만이 제시되어 한국 교과서가 미국 교과서보다 학생들이 다양한 탐구능력을 함양할 수 있게 하는 탐구활동을 제공하는데 있어 취약점을 갖고 있다는 것을 말해 준다. 탐구상황 분석에서 한국교과서는 다소 단편적 인이고 실생활과 관련이 낮은 탐구 상황이 제공되었고, 미국 교과서는 좀 더 실생활과 관련되어 적용된 탐구 상황의 내용들로 구성되어 있음을 보여주었다.

The purpose of this literature review is to investigate what kinds of research have been done about scientific inquiry in terms of scientific argumentation in the classroom context from the upper elementary to the high school levels. First, science educators argued that there had not been differentiation between authentic scientific inquiry by scientists and school scientific inquiry by students in the classroom. This uncertainty of goals or definition of scientific inquiry has led to the problem or limitation of implementing scientific inquiry in the classroom. It was also pointed out that students' learning science as inquiry has been done without opportunities of argumentation to understand how scientific knowledge is constructed. Second, what is scientific argumentation, then? Researchers stated that scientific inquiry in the classroom cannot be guaranteed only through hands-on experimentation. Students can understand how scientific knowledge is constructed through their reasoning skills using opportunities of argumentation based on their procedural skills using opportunities of experimentation. Third, many researchers emphasized the social practices of small or whole group work for enhancing students' scientific reasoning skills through argumentations. Different role of leadership in groups and existence of teachers' roles are found to have potential in enhancing students' scientific reasoning skills to understand science as inquiry. Fourth, what is scientific reasoning? Scientific reasoning is defined as an ability to differentiate evidence or data from theory and coordinate them to construct their scientific knowledge based on their collection of data (Kuhn, 1989, 1992; Dunbar & Klahr, 1988, 1989; Reif & Larkin, 1991). Those researchers found that students skills in scientific reasoning are different from scientists. Fifth, for the purpose of enhancing students' scientific reasoning skills to understand how scientific knowledge is constructed, other researchers suggested that teachers' roles in scaffolding could help students develop those skills. Based on this literature review, it is important to find what kinds of generalizable teaching strategies teachers use for students scientific reasoning skills through scientific argumentation and investigate teachers' knowledge of scientific argumentation in the context of scientific inquiry. The relationship between teachers' knowledge and their teaching strategies and between teachers teaching strategies and students scientific reasoning skills can be found out if there is any.

The purpose of this study was to find the relationship between elementary school teachers' beliefs of inquiry and science performance assessment. To collect data for analyzing elementary school teachers' beliefs of inquiry and their practice of science performance assessment, the researcher was surveyed with elementary school teachers by open-ended questionnaires and interview. The findings of this study were as follows; First, Most of elementary school teachers beliefs of inquiry was shown as constructivist tendency. This view of inquiry involves watching and doing experiments, and the skills of thinking processes, in which learners make their own interpretations rather than merely acquiring preexisting knowledge structures. Second, for content knowledge, participants' preception about the target of science performance assessment involved assessing application of science knowledge rather than basic level of substantive knowledge. For inquiry process, participants' preception about the target of science performance assessment involved assessing the lower level of inquiry rather than the higher level of inquiry. Most of participants was measured using a paper and pencil test for the actual evaluation methods due to the ease and objectivity of the assessment, the lack of understanding how to perform the performance evaluation process and method. Especially, participants who recognize that the higher level of inquiry was used performance and informal mode of assessing.

The purpose of this study was to compare the science philosophical views and instruction strategies for open-inquiry between teachers of science-gifted and teachers of general students. The subjects were 45 teachers of science-gifted and 45 teachers of general students. The major results of this study were as follows: First, there was no differences on the science philosophical views between teachers of science-gifted and teachers of general students by chi-square tests (p<.05). Second, there were no differences on how task assignments, how to guide exploration data, and how to write reports between teachers of science-gifted and teachers of general students (p<.05). But there was meaningful differences on how to proceed with exploration activities between teachers of science-gifted and teachers of general students (p<.05). It is implied that this the results of this investigation will help the focus of future efforts to promote more adequate the science philosophical views and instruction strategies for open-inquiry in teachers of science-gifted.
