For decades, reflection has been recognised as a meaningful tool to bring forth teachers' ownership as well as knowledge and action empowerment in teacher education. Yet there have been few studies on elementary teachers' reflection on their science teaching in Korea. In this study, 71 reflective journals of 24 elementary teachers on their science teaching were analyzed. The characteristics of reflective journals were analyzed in terms of 'productive reflection', a concept suggested by Davis (2006). Unproductive reflection is mainly descriptive without analysis, whereas productive reflection can promote teachers' learning by integrating four aspects of teaching (learner/learning, subject matter knowledge, instruction and assessment). The result showed what elementary teachers consider and emphasize and how they integrate their ideas. Most of reflective journals included aspects of 'instruction', 'learner/learning', and 'subject matter knowledge'. However 'instruction' was emphasized most frequently (69.0%) than 'subject matter knowledge' (33.8%) and 'learner/learning' (26.8%). 'Assessment' was hardly included nor emphasized. More than half of the journals (56.3%) showed no integrations, which were unproductive reflection. A third of the journals (32.4%) integrated only two aspects among four. Average score of integrations was 1.6 on a scale of 4 points. The integrations were not affected by the length of reflective journals and the teaching experience. These findings suggest that productive reflection would not increase naturally with teaching experience and there needs more tactful guidance to develop elementary teachers' productive reflection on their science teaching.

Science-Technology-Society curricula have been developed in several countries for the last 20 years. Those curricula were focused on social aspects of science, i.e., value-laden knowledge and scientific enterprise, and society-related scientific and technological issues, i.e., energy, pollution, natural resources. The major teaching models employed in those curricula were problem solving and decision making, which required the following teaching techniques: teacher as a manager, small group discussion, controversy as a motivational force for substantive learning, and sufficient factual information into the discussion. Further researches are to be made to ascertain whether or not the expectations of the curricula might be realized in practice. It was shown that most Korean biology teachers considered the STS-related goal of science education as more important than the other goals. Based upon the findings, some recommendations for development of Korean STS curriculum were made as follows: 1. The contents of the STS curricula are to be organized with the integrated mode; 2. The major teaching models throughout the contents are to be problem solving and decision making. These are considered to provide students with the opportunities to involve in debates on practical issues and to draw consensus from them; 3. Some degree of flexibility should be provided on teachers' implementation of the curriculum in terms of contents, teaching techniques etc.; 4. To increase the practicality of the curriculum, teachers should be involved in the development of the curriculum and the relevant research; and 5. Contents to be included in STS curriculum were suggested by some science educators, but the more systematic study is required in this respect.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical dentistry curriculum in Korea and Japan in order to review the application of integrated curriculum in the field. We collected the clinical dentistry syllabi for 2015-16 of the department of dental hygiene of Korea G University and Japan N University. Using the data from Korea, items that were duplicated and integrated were classified by the subjects covered in clinical dentistry. In addition, through case studies conducted in Korea and Japan, we analyzed and compared the credits, class hours, teaching methods, and evaluation methods, by subject. In Korea the total class hours in clinical dentistry, including clinical practice, was 1,095, and in Japan it was 1,104. In Korea, the syllabus covered by each department consisted of about 200 hours centering on theoretical lectures. In Japan, the integrated form of clinical dentistry was taught, and the instructions included all the contents of clinical dental study and also problem-based learning for approximately 100 hours. To strengthen the competence of dental hygienists as professionals, who are actively involved in dental practice, it is necessary to integrate the education contents of segmented clinical dentistry from the perspective of dental hygiene. It is also important to apply teaching methods that can help students improve their ability to solve problems.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of integrated science inquiry teaming method through literature materials on the learner's science concept formation, inquiry ability, and attitude related to science when it was applied to the unit 'The temperature of atmosphere and winds', 'The journey of water' in the 5th grade, and to find out the effect on science learning according to teaming styles. To study these subjects, 4 classes of 5th grade in J elementary school in Busan were selected. The result of this study were as follows: First, Integrated science inquiry learning method through literature materials was more effective for concept formation than conventional teaching method. In science inquiry ability, there was not significant difference at all between the comparison group and the experimental group. In attitude related to science, the experimental group showed significant difference only in the interest in occupation related to science. The visual modality learners within the experimental group showed significantly higher statistics than the other modality learners in the post-investigation into the science concept and there was significant difference between the visual and the kinesthetic modality learners in the result of post-test on science inquiry ability.

Mathematical creativity, an important goal in mathematics education, can be promoted through an integrated learning environment where students explore mathematics with other subject areas such as science, technology, engineering and art. Establishing such learning environments is not a trivial task. Therefore, this creates a need for the development of instructional resources promoting meaningful integration. This paper focuses on integration of the fields of mathematics and music. Beginning with some of the historical discoveries and views of the connections between mathematics and music, this paper attends to several musical concepts correlating to middle school mathematical content and then provides ideas for teaching.

To cultivate talented people with creative and convergent thinking skills to live in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, the national curriculum of Korea is gradually emphasizing convergence education and software education. To meet the demands of the times, this paper suggests subject-convergent teaching-learning materials for educating core principles of Support Vector Machines, especially targeting elementary learners. Based on analysis of the national curriculum, achievement standards of three subjects are integrated. After printable worksheets for traditional face-to-face classes had developed, they were transformed to online interactive worksheets for non-face-to-face classes. The teaching-learning materials are expected to promote the growth of the learners' academic motivation and knowledge.

이 연구의 목적은 2015 개정 교육과정에서 신설되어 2018학년도에 처음 적용된 고등학교 통합과학의 운영 실태를 진단하고 과학 교사들의 인식을 파악하며, 이로부터 현장 안착을 위한 시사점을 도출하는 것이다. 이를 위해 통합과학 교원 연수에 참여한 과학 교사를 대상으로 설문을 실시하였으며, 고등학교 과학 교사 384명의 응답 결과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면 단위학교에서 통합과학은 6단위로 편성하고 2명 이상의 교사가 성취기준을 나누어 담당하는 경우가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 과학 교사들은 통합과학 적용으로 인한 가장 큰 변화로 학생 활동 증가를 꼽았으며, 수행평가 비중 증가, 평가 방법 다양화, 교사 간 협의 증가, 자연 현상의 통합적 이해 제고 등에 대해 대체로 긍정적 변화 인식을 보였다. 특히 화학을 전공한 교사들은 자연 현상의 통합적 이해 제고에, 교직 경력 15년 이상의 교사들은 학생 활동 증가, 평가 방법 다양화, 교사 간 협의 증가에 대해 더욱 긍정적으로 인식하고 있었다. 통합과학을 지도하는 데 있어서는 비전공 내용에 대한 교수를 가장 어려워하며, 가르쳐야 하는 내용의 적정 수준을 결정하는 것 역시 어렵게 느끼고 있었다. 그러나 공통과학을 전공한 교사들은 비전공 내용을 가르치는 것에는 어려움을 거의 호소하지 않았으며, 15년 이상 경력 교사들은 상대적으로 활동 위주의 수업과 과정 중심 평가에 어려움을 겪는 등 집단 간 차이도 확인되었다. 통합과학을 2명의 교사가 나누어 담당하는 경우에 연수 내용으로는 교과내용학, 연수 방법으로는 이론과 실천을 접목한 혼합 연수와 맞춤형 연수에 대한 요구가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았고, 1명의 교사가 전담하는 경우에는 대체로 가장 낮은 요구를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 통합과학이 성공적으로 실행되기 위해서는 양질의 교수학습 및 평가 자료를 개발하여 배포해야 하고 통합과학 지도를 위한 교사 연구 모임 등을 활성화하며, 중 장기적으로는 단위학교 상황에 맞게 적용할 수 있는 통합과학 편성 운영 모델을 개발하고 통합과학에 대한 전문성을 갖춘 과학 교사 양성 시스템이 요청됨을 논의하였다.

In is a recent trend of the world to study the integrated science curriculum development. This study aims at pursuing how to integrate physics and earthscience in high school course and forming a tentative plan as to an integrated process between both the subjects. The one was compared with the other accor ding to the basic concepts and theteaching objecties. The contents of these two subjects were analysed, the overlapping parts being chosen, and so in the hierachy of the curriculum, some mistakes were found in eaching these two two subjects. It proved valid to in tegrate these two subject. A concrete scheme was offered to in tegrate these two subjects-physics and earthscience, when a tentative plan concerning, the integra ted process was made. This new plan can make the time required for teaching decrease by 5% The better study on the basic structure of the integrated concepts between these two subjects will go on further in this respect. It is necessary to train again the teachres concerned with this new subject and to put an emphasis on the elective course between physics and earthscience in the teacher's college curriculum.

교육부의 제6차 교육 과정 개편과 더불어 모든 고등 학교의 필수 교과로 도입된 공통 과학이 현재 고등 학교에서 어떻게 운영되고 있는가를 조사해 본 연구이다. 그 결과 3.2%의 학교에서만이 교사 1인이 담당하고 있었고 나머지 대부분의 학교에서는 담당 과학 교사의 전공별로 각 단원을 분담하여 가르치고 있었다. 이 경우 각 단원에 통합 과학적인 요소들이 많아서 애로가 많음을 토로하고 있었으며, 시간표상에 배치된 공통 과학이 다른 학과목과 같이 편성되어 있기 때문에 하나의 학습 주제를 해결하기엔 시간이 너무 짧다는 의견들이 많았다. 또한 공통 과학을 위한 전문 실험실이 없고 담당 학생수가 너무 많아서 고민하고 있었다. 또한 공통 과학의 지식 편은 강의식 학습으로, 탐구 편은 탐구 학습으로 운영하고 있었으며, 평가는 지식편인 경우, 객관식 또는 주관식 질문지법을 이용하여 평가하였으며. 탐구편인 경우, 학생들의 보고서를 중심으로 평가하고 있었다. 공통 과학에 대한 학생들의 반응은 보통을 넘지 못하고 있어서 과학에 대한 흥미 도를 고조시키기 위하여 도입된 본래의 의도에서 빗나가고 있음을 나타내고 있었다.
