The purposes of this study were to investigate the intercorrelations among various motivational patterns and learning strategies and to examine the differences in motivation and strategy usage in terms of students' science achievement level, gender, and grade. A questionnaire on achievement goal, self-efficacy, self-concept of ability, expectancy, value, causal attributions, and learning strategies was administered to 360 junior high/high school students (178 males, 182 females). Students who adopted performance-oriented goal tended not to be task oriented. Task-oriented students had high levels of self-efficacy, high self-concept of ability, and expectancies for future performance in science. They also valued science and attributed thier failures to the lack of effort. However, performance-oriented students evaluated their ability negatively, did not value science, and attributed thier failures to uncontrollable causes. With respect to learning strategy, task-oriented students tended to use deep-level strategy, whereas performance-oriented students tended to use surface-level strategy and not to use deep-level strategy. High-achieving students, boys, and junior high school students were more task-oriented, evaluated their ability more positively, and valued science more than low-achieving students, girls, and high school students, respectively. High-achieving students and boys also used deep-level strategy more than each of their counterparts. However, no significant difference in learning strategy was found between junior high school students and high school students. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

이 연구는 과학학습 부진을 겪는 중학교 2학년 학생들의 인지적 특성을 한국 웩슬러 아동지능검사-4판 (K-WISC-IV)을 이용하여 심층적으로 분석하고 이를 과학학습 우수아집단 및 일반아 집단과 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 규명하고자 하였다. 과학학습 우수 집단의 FSIQ는 통계적으로 일반집단, 과학학습 부진아 집단 보다 높게 나타났다. 언어이해 지표(VCI)에서는 과학학습 우수 집단과 일반 집단이 과학학습 부진 집단보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 하위 요인인 공통성(SI)에서는 과학학습 부진아 집단이 다른 두 집단에 저조한 수행을 보였는데, 이는 과학학습 부진아 집단의 낮은 수준의 추상화 능력은 과학적 추론 능력이 부족한 것에 기인한다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 공통성 소검사는 과학학습 부진아 집단을 가려낼 수 있는 변별력 높은 소검사라고 판단되며, 낮은 수준의 언어 이해 능력, 추상화 능력 및 추론 능력은 과학학습 부진의 가장 큰 요인으로 작용한 다고 볼 수 있다. 작업기억 지표(WMI)에서 과학학습 우수 집단이 일반집단, 과학학습 부진 집단보다 높게 나타났다. 작업기억은 과학의 유추 문제의 해결 과정의 원활한 수행에 깊이 관여하여 과학 학업 성취에 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다. 이에 대한 교육학적 함의를 논의하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 학업 성취가 매우 뛰어난 우리나라 고등학생들이 이공계 진로를 선택하거나 또는 선택하지 않는 이유를 설명하며 성별차를 탐구하는 것이다. 과학고등학교와 국제고등학교에 재학 중인 1학년 학생들이 참여하여 과학 활동, 과학 학습을 위한 자신의 강점, 과학 전공을 선택하거나 선택하지 않는 이유를 묻는 개방형 문항에 응답하였다. 학업성취가 뛰어난 고등학생들의 과학 전공 선택 이유로서는 내적 흥미가 가장 비중이 크며 다음으로 자기효능감의 비중이 큰 것으로 드러났다. 그러나 과학을 전공으로 선택하지 않으려는 것에는 흥미의 부족보다는 자기효능감의 부족이 더 큰 관련이 있는 것으로 드러났다. 이 외에 과학 학습에 대한 자아개념과 정규 수업 외의 과학 활동을 분석하고 비교하였으며 교육적, 정책적 시사점들을 논의하였다.

본 연구는 고등학생의 성취 수준에 따라 세 집단(영재, 고성취 평재, 저성취 평재)으로 나누어 지각한 자율성 지지와 지적 능력에 대한 신념, 자기조절 전략 사용에 차이를 보이는지 살펴보고, 이들 변인 중 어떠한 특성이 자기조절 전략 사용에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지를 탐색하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 표집대상은 경기도 지역 영재학교 1개교, 고성취 평재와, 저성취 평재집단으로 분류한 일반 고등학교 2개교에 재학 중인 학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 분석하였다. 학생들의 자율성 지지, 지적 능력에 대한 신념, 자기조절 전략을 측정한 결과, 성취 수준과 또래로부터의 자율성 지지와 지적 능력에 대한 항상성 신념 및 자기조절 전략 중 부적응적 자기조절 요인을 제외한 모든 하위 요인 간 유의한 정적 상관을 보인 반면, 성취 수준과 지적 능력에 대한 항상성 신념 및 자기조절 전략 중 부적응적 자기조절 요인과는 유의미한 부적 상관을 보였다. 또한, 성취 수준에 따른 학생들의 자율성 지지, 지적 능력에 대한 신념, 자기조절 전략의 차이를 비교한 결과, 또래로부터의 자율성 지지와 지적 능력에 대한 항상성 신념을 제외한 모든 하위 변인들에서 성취 수준이 높은 영재 집단이 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 볼 때, 학생들에게 보다 많은 자율성 지지를 제공하고, 지적 능력에 대한 향상 가능성 신념을 높여주는 것이 더 적극적인 자기조절 전략을 사용하도록 하는 것에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

통계학은 학교수학의 일부분으로 포함되어 있지만 전통적인 수학과는 본질적으로 다른 점을 많이 가지고 있다는 연구결과가 보고되어 왔다. 그러나 통계 고유의 특징에 대한 교육 연구, 특히 학교수학의 다른 영역과 차별되는 통계적 개념 이해에 대한 실증적인 자료와 논의가 매우 부족하다. 그러므로 수학적 사고 능력과 통계적 개념 이해 능력이나 통계적 사고 능력 사이의 관계에 대한 논의가 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 이 연구에서는 통계적 사고의 근간을 이루는 몇 가지 핵심 개념들을 추출한 후, 수학적으로 우수한 능력을 갖춘 학생들이 이 통계적 개념들을 이해하는 정도를 조사하였다. 조사 결과, 수학적으로 우수한 능력을 갖춘 학생들이 자연스럽게 발달시킨 개념과 발달시키지 못한 개념이 있었다. 수학적 능력과 통계적 개념 이해 수준 사이에는 낮은 상관관계가 나타났다.

Current medical students are a distinct new generation who can be distinguished from the previous generation. Therefore, a clear understanding of their characteristics is vital in developing an appropriate educational program for them. The purpose of this article is to explore the characteristics of the current generation of high achieving medical students. Notable characteristics that define this generation include the following: they feel they are special, and they are sheltered, confident, highly optimistic, pressured, conventional, and have a strong desire to achieve. They are the digital generation, who can obtain information through various forms of technology. Furthermore, they are high achieving students in highly competitive educational environments. It has been suggested that various teaching methods be used in the medical school classroom. Using digital methods could be crucial in providing high-quality medical education. Educators should pay more attention to students' psychosocial development and help them to effectively cope with their academic stress.

This study investigates 628 high school students' math dislike tendencies by their math achievement levels. The findings show that, firstly, as the sample students' math achievement level decreases, the number of dislike factors increase. Secondly, students' math dislike factors are differentiated by their math achievement levels. Math high achievers show high math disliking tendency by teacher factor. Middle achievers show high math disliking tendency by complex application and relation factors. Low achievers show high math disliking tendency by comprehension factor. Finally the math disliking factors affecting the level of math achievement are influenced by schools and grades that students' attend. While math disliking factors such as comprehension factor, teacher factor, affection factor are generally present among sample schools, exceptionally JS high school students(high achieving students) are only affected by mentality factor. In addition, mentality factor affects the second grade students only. The implications of the study argue that students' math disliking tendencies could be systematically reduced by paying attention to such dependent variables students' achievement levels, grade, school characteristics, and independent variables including teacher, application, mentality, comprehension, and affection.

A central problem of mathematics teaching worldwide is probably the insufficient adaptive handling of tasks-especially in computational practice phases and modeling tasks. All students in a classroom must often work on the same tasks. In the process, the high-achieving students are often underchallenged, and the low-achieving ones are overchallenged. This publication uses different modeling of the tennis serve as an example to show a possible solution to the problem and develops and discusses one adaptive task each for middle school, high school, and college using three mathematical models of the tennis serve each time. From model to model within the task, the complexity of the modeling increases, the mathematical or physical demands on the students increase, and the new modeling leads to more realistic results. The proposed models offer the possibility to address heterogeneous learning groups by their arrangement in the surface structure of the so-called parallel adaptive task and to stimulate adaptive mathematics teaching on the instructional topic of mathematical modeling. Models A through C are suitable for middle school instruction, models C through E for high school, and models E through G for college. The models are classified in the specific modeling cycle and its extension by a digital tool model, and individual modeling steps are explained. The advantages of the presented models regarding teaching and learning mathematical modeling are elaborated. In addition, we report our first teaching experiences with the developed parallel adaptive tasks.

This study analyzed each process of demand analysis(A), design(D), development(D), implementation(I) and evaluation(E) of the program to support mathematics learning of students with under-achievement of math in high school. To analyze the demand, a survey was conducted on 235 high school math teachers and 334 high school students who were under-achieved in mathematics. To design and develope the program, this study linked middle school math to high school math so that the students with poor math learning could easily participate in mathematics learning. The programs developed in this study were implemented in three high schools, where separate classes were organized and run for students with poor math learning. The evaluation of the programs developed in this study was done in two ways. One was a quantitative evaluation conducted by five experts, and the other was a qualitative evaluation conducted through interviews with teachers and students participating in the program. This study found that students with poor mathematics learning were more motivated to learn, started to do mathematics, and encouraged to be confident when using learning materials that included easy problems and detailed solutions that they could solve themselves. From these results, the following three implications can be derived in developing a program to support students who are experiencing poor mathematics learning in high school. First, we should develop learning materials that link middle school mathematics to high school mathematics so that students can supplement middle school mathematics related to high school mathematics. Second, we need to develop learning materials that include detailed solutions to basic examples and include homogeneous problems that can be solved while looking at the basic example's solution process. Third, we should avoid the challenge of asking students who are under-achieving to respond too openly.

Inquiry activity is a major source of student investigation which both of the national curriculum standards strongly emphasize for achieving scientific literacy. The purpose of this study was to examine inquiry activities incorporated in high school biology textbooks used in China and Korea. The inquiry activities were examined with regard to inquiry level and science process skills. Bell's and a modification of Padilla's framework were used in these analyses. Results show that the Korean textbooks were more exclusively occupied by simple inquiry activities - None of them provided activity more complex than level 2 inquiry. In addition, the Korean textbooks had uniformly basic science process skills, whereas their Chinese counterparts gave students some challenges for higher level process skills. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the activities in the Korean textbooks are helpful in guiding students toward a gradual progression to high-level inquiry. Implications for inquiry-based science education were suggested based on the results of the study.
