This study aims to analyse science-gifted elementary students' perception of speech in general school class, school science class, and science-gifted class and the relationship between their voluntary speech and scientific creativity. For this, 39 fifth-graders in the Science-Gifted Education Center at Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education in Korea were asked about their frequency of voluntary speech on each class situation, the reasons for such behavior, and their general opinions about speech. Also, researchers collected the teachers' observation on students' speech in class. To get the scores for students' scientific creativity, four different subjects of tasks were presented. The students' scientific creativity scores were used for correlation analysis with their frequency of speech. The main findings from this study are as follows: First, science-gifted elementary students tended to be passive in science-gifted class compared to general school and school science class. Second, the main reason for the low frequency of students' speech in school classes is that they do not have many opportunities to make presentations. Third, a survey of students' general thoughts on speech showed that more students wanted to make a speech voluntarily in class than the opposite. Fourth, the four different scientific creativity tasks had little correlation. Fifth, the correlations between the frequency of voluntary speech and the scores of scientific creativity were mostly low, with significant results only for plant task. Sixth, the correlations between the frequency of voluntary speech and the two components that make up scientific creativity, originality and usefulness, were also mostly low, but significant results for both were found in plant task, with originality having a higher correlation than usefulness. Based on this results, this study discussed the meanings and implications of students' voluntary speech on elementary science education and creativity education.

현대 사회는 새로운 과학 교사상을 요구한다. 초등학생은 다른 학령기에 비하여 교사의 영향력이 크게 작용하는 시기이면서 과학 교과를 처음으로 접하는 시기이다. 초등 과학 교사에 의해 과학 학습에 대한 초기 이미지와 과학에 대한 태도 등이 정형화되어 가는 시작점으로 과학 교사의 역할이 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 이에 초등학교 과학 교사에 대한 이미지를 올바르게 정립하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 초등학생이 수업 상황에 따라 선호하고, 기피하는 과학 교사 이미지에 대해 분석하고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 초등학생 534명을 대상으로 수업 상황을 수업 형태, 수업 자료 제시 방법, 교과 지도 방법, 교과 내용 설명 방식, 수업 분위기 조성의 5가지로 나누어 선호, 기피하는 과학 교사의 이미지를 개방형으로 기술하도록 하였다. 초등학생들에 의해 제시된 개념들은 언어 네트워크 분석법을 통해 분석이 이루어졌다. 본 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 과학 교사가 수업을 어떻게 하느냐에 따라 초등학생들이 선호하거나 기피하는 과학 교사의 이미지가 결정되었다. 둘째, 초등학생들은 실험 수업과 같은 활동 중심의 수업을 선호하며, 이와 같은 방식으로 수업이 이루어질 필요성이 있다. 마지막으로 초등학생들이 선호하는 과학 수업으로의 변화가 이루어질 수 있도록 수업 방법에 대한 교사들의 작은 변화와 노력이 필요하다.

The aim of this current study is to survey and analyze the degree of concern and difficult of elementary school teachers in elementary school science classes, and providing the results to teachers as a basic reference to improve their scientific specialties. As a result, firstly, the degree of concern of elementary school teacher in science class is more than normal level. Secondly, the degree of concern in science class differs dependent on environmental factors. Next, the degree of difficulty about science class was under normal level. Among area surveyed, physical and psychological environment were lower compared with other areas, and the difficulty in evaluation of class result was comparably higher than others. At fourth, teacher's degree of difficulty in science class was dependent on environment factors, but not on gender. Finally, there was reverse correlation between degree of concern and the degree of difficulty of elementary school teachers in science class. Further, the degree of concern in student knowledge showed more significant reverse correlation with all of area tested.

The purpose of this study is to examine the educational effects of STEAM class by focusing on $21^{st}$ century learner competencies based on burning and extinguishing unit. Two 6th grade classes were divided into experimental group and comparison group to treat the experimental group with elementary science class using STEAM class. General class according to teacher manual was implemented for the comparison group. Elementary science class applying STEAM class was conducted for 9 lessons throughout the experimental period. The result of this study are as follows. Elementary science class with STEAM class had significant effect on 21st century learner competencies compared to traditional instructor-led classroom. Looking specifically, it was a significant difference in the three domains of the seven domains (problem solving, collaboration, flexibility). The study results indicated that STEAM class was effective in improving learners'recognition of 21st century learner competencies.

The purpose of this study was to develop a teaching strategy focused on problem solving process and explore its effects on science creative problem solving ability, science process skills, science academic achievements and scientific attitudes of students after applying it. Teaching strategy focused on problem solving process employed brainstorming and PMI thinking strategies. The participants were the third grade students of both an experimental class(26 students) and a comparative class(25 students) at the S elementary school located in Goyang-City, Kyonggi Province. The developed strategy was applied to the experimental class for 9 periods of 'Separation of mixture' unit. The results of the tests on the science creative problem solving ability, the science process skills, scientific achievement and scientific attitude were statistically higher in the experimental class.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze science self-efficacy, science self-concept and scientific attitude according to the class size in the elementary school. For this purpose, three research questions were set as follows; First, are there any differences in science self-efficacy according to the class size? Second, are there any differences in science self-concept according to the class size? Third, are there any differences scientific attitude according to the class size? To solve this research questions, the subjects in this study were 809 5th and 6th grade students of eight elementary schools in Busan. 220 were sampled from small-size classes, 354 from mid-size classes and 235 from large-size classes. The results of this study through the process are as follows; First, there were significant differences in science self-efficacy according to the class size. Second, there were significant differences in science self-concept according to the class size. Third, according to the result, there was not a significant difference in scientific attitude according to the class size. The findings of the study suggest that it is necessary the class size should be adjusted to the appropriate level for improving student's science self-efficacy and science self-concept.

The purpose of this study is to identify pre-service elementary school teachers' difficulties and needs in the science class utilizing smart technologies. The participants were nine pre-service elementary teachers who had practical training at an elementary school and took classes related to technology, pedagogy, and science knowledge. The data was collected through semi-constructed and in-depth interviews. The documents such as participants' guidance plans, daily records produced in teaching practice was collected and analyzed. The results of the research are as follow: Pre-service teachers have usually used the technology as a secondary transfer media to convey the knowledge. We found that the pre-service elementary teachers had 15 difficulties in the science class utilizing smart technologies. In addition, they needed a class to focus more on teaching them by integrating technology knowledge, pedagogy knowledge, and science knowledge, and by sharing a real case of science class utilizing smart technologies.
