이 연구에서는 우리나라 중학생들의 TIMSS 2003환경 영역 성취도의 국제 수준을 파악하고, 환경 영역의 주제가 의도한 교육과정과 실행된 교육과정에 포함된 정도를 국제 비교하며, 성취도 결과를 주제별, 문항 유형별, 인지 영역별로 분석하고, 우리나라 학생들의 정답률과 국제 평균 정답률의 차이가 큰 문항과 남 여학생의 정답률 차이가 큰 문항을 분석하였다. TIMSS 2003에서 우리나라 중학생들은 환경 영역에서 544점으로 4위를 기록하였다. 교육과정 비교 결과에서 TIMSS 2003에 참여한 대부분의 국가에서 8학년까지 과학과 교육과정에 환경 영역 주제가 일부 또는 3 가지 모두 포함되어 있는 반면에, 우리나라의 경우 환경 영역의 세 주제 모두 의도한 교육과정에 포함되어 있지 않았다. 환경 영역에서 우리나라 학생의 평균 정답률은 51.7%로 국제 평균 정답률 38.7%보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 주제, 문항 유형, 인지 영역별 정답률을 비교하면, '천연 자원의 이용과 보존' 주제에서, 선택형 문항에서, '사실적 지식'에 해당되는 문항에서 정답률이 더 높게 나타났고, 남학생의 성취도가 여학생의 성취도보다 유의하게 더 높았다. 문항을 분석한 결과, 우리나라 학생들은 자유반응형 문항, 과학 수업에서 학습하지 않은 내용이거나 과학과 기술의 이용 방법과 영향을 서술하는 문항 등에 대해서 어려움을 겪는 것으로 나타났고, 산성비, 지구온난화, 오존층 파괴 등의 환경 문제에 대한 이해가 명확하지 않았다. 그리고 여학생틀의 경우 환경 관련 개념과 자료 해석 능력이 상대적으로 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 근거하여 우리나라 과학과 교육과정에 환경 관련 주제를 적극적으로 도입하되 그 시기를 앞당기고, 학생틀이 환경 문제의 원인, 현상, 대책 등을 명확하게 이해하고 과학과 기술의 긍정적 부정적 측면을 인식하도록 안내할 필요가 있음을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of the materialism of university students. The data were collected for 331 university students. The data were analyzed by the package of SPSS program. The methods of analyses included basic descriptive categorical analysis (frequencies, means, percentages) as well as t-test, one way ANOVA, and multiple regressions. To summarize major findings from the analysis: (1) A significant difference was found in the materialism of university students by the socio-economic variables such as the amount of pocket money. (2) A significant difference was found in the materialism of university students by more self-esteem than life satisfaction. (3) A significant difference was found in the materialism of university students by parent's materialism and competitive achievement pressure. (4) According to the multiple regression analysis, it was found that the materialism of university students was influenced by the order of self-esteem, parent's materialism and competitive achievement pressure.

Spending as much time outside of school as in school, gifted youth are affected by non-school aspects including parents, other family members, peers, mentors, mathematics competitions and camp participations. These influences have been known to shape children's intellectual development, academic achievement, interests, and eventually college and career choices. From interviews with five former Olympians from Korea to identify out-of-school influences on their academic achievement and development, we discovered, in addition to confirmation of previously identified factors, additional sources of positive influence seldom previously mentioned and more common to Korean culture were gleaned - mathematics workbooks and Ha-Gwon. The findings of this study are informative for teachers and parents who are interested in development of gifted youth in providing ways to accommodate their special needs and in showing how they can carefully individualize those sources to be positively affecting intellectual development as well as academic achievement.

A total of 378 $4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ grade elementary school students (194 boys and 184 girls) participated in a study investigating the direct and indirect effects (through self-esteem and/or achievement motivation) of children's perceptions of parental expectations on school happiness. First, parental expectations did not have a direct effect on children's levels of school happiness. Second, parental expectations did not have an indirect effect on children's school happiness through self-esteem. Children who perceived higher levels of parental expectations showed higher levels of self-esteem, but the path from children's self-esteem to school happiness was not significant. Third, parental expectations had an indirect effect on children's levels of school happiness through achievement motivation. Children who perceived higher levels of parental expectations showed higher levels of achievement motivation, and children with higher levels of achievement motivation reported higher levels of school happiness. Finally, parental expectations indirectly influenced children's school happiness through self-esteem and achievement motivation. These findings suggest that both environmental and individual factors need to be considered together to more comprehensively explain children's levels of school happiness.

In spite that spatial ability has been recognized as an important element of academic achievement in engineering studies, researches on the topic are rather limited in Korea. In this study, the relationship between spatial visualization skill and academic achievement of engineering students was investigated based on the several variables such as gender, high school education background and college course achievement. The result showed that there were significant relevance between spatial visualization skill and gender, high school type, achievement of high school level math & physics, and college course work grade of computer graphic and capstone design. According the case study, from the entry time of engineering college, support programs to reinforce spatial visualization skill are required for lower skill groups such as female and graduate from art course in high school. Also, college curriculum such as Engineering graphics, Capstone design are substantial to improve spatial visualization skill. However, more diversified sample groups and research methods are required in order to draw in depth results.

본 연구에서는 고등학생들의 화학 관련 환경 개념과 환경에 대한 태도를 조사하고, 자아존중감, 과학 수업의 즐거움, 여가 활동에서의 과학 흥미 등의 정의적 변인과의 관계를 조사하였다. 학생들의 환경 개념 이해도가 낮았으며, 남학생의 개념 이해도가 여학생보다 높았다. 그러나 환경에 대한 태도는 여학생이 남학생보다 높았다. 생태중심적 태도에서는 남녀 차이가 없었으나, 남학생이 여학생에 비하여 자기중심적 태도를 더 많이 지니고 있었다. 사전 과학 성취 수준이 높은 학생이 낮은 학생보다 환경 개념 이해도가 높았다. 정의적 변인 중 여가 활동에서의 과학 흥미가 환경에 대한 태도와 유의미한 상관이 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on the achievement of knowledge by animation-based learning program(ALP) in environmental education. The topic covered by ALP was "meaning and kinds of alien animals and plants". Four classes were selected and divided into two groups. The one was control group, and the other was treatment. 121 female the eighth graders(60 control and 61 ALP students) were piloted. Whereas control students learned using Powerpoint presentation-based materials, ALP students learned using web-based flash animations and animated database with images and movie clips. The score of knowledge achievement of ALP students was compared to control group students using ANCOVA, and then the score of ALP students was significantly higher than that of control group students(p<0.05). The ALP using animations and animated database was effective on the understanding of the alien animals and plants.

This study is to evaluate the effect of roleplaying-centered STS program on the science-related attitude, the academic achievement, and the problem solving ability in "Environment" unit of high school Science. 90 students in grade 10 were divided into two groups, the experimental group applied the roleplaying-centered STS program and the control group applied the traditional lecture-centered class. The pretest was implemented to measure the science-related attitude, and the posttest was implemented to measure the science-related attitude, the academic achievement, and problem solving ability. The collected data were analyzed by ANCOVA and Correlation Analysis with SPSS program. The results are as follows: First, the experimental group was not significantly different from the control group in the science-related attitude and in the academic achievement(p>.05). Second, the experimental group significantly showed much better problem solving ability than the control group(p<.05). Third, a significant correlation was recognized between the academic achievement and the problem solving ability(p<.01).
