The purpose of this study was to assess pro-environmental behavior of elementary school students by school year and gender and to investigate the relationships of their emotional affinity toward and intellectual curiosity about life, and experiences about nature and life with the pro-environmental behavior. A total of 436 elementary students participated in the study: 189 3rd grade; 247 6th grade students, and 233 boys; 203 girls. The variables were measured by using a self-report questionnaire with 5-point Likert scale items. The results showed the levels of pro-environmental behavior of the 3rd grade students and the girls were higher than that of the 6th grade and the boys, respectively. Their pro-environmental behavior was significantly related with all measured variables. However, it was found that the direct predictors of their pro-environmental behavior were the intellectual curiosity and the indirect experience, while the emotional affinity and the direct experience did not have a direct impact on the behavior. The predictive power of the intellectual curiosity and the indirect experience for their pro-environmental behavior was higher in 3rd grade than 6th grade. While the indirect experience was a stronger predictor of the boys' pro-environmental behavior than the intellectual curiosity, the curiosity was a stronger predictor of the girls.

비판적 사고는 치위생 교육과 실무에서 요구되는 핵심역량으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 비판적 사고 능력 중 비판적 사고 성향이 학업성적에 따라 차이가 나타나는지를 알기 위해 2개교의 치위생(학)과 재학생 252명을 대상으로 비판적 사고 성향과 학업성적을 조사하여 다변량 공분산분석에 의해 비교한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사대상자의 비판적 사고 성향 평균은 3.46이었으며, 학업성적 상위권 집단의 비판적 사고 성향 전체 평균은 3.63로서 중위권(3.46), 하위권(3.41) 집단에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p=009). Scheffe 방법에 의한 사후검정 결과 상위권과 하위권 집단 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.009). 2. 비판적 사고 성향의 하위요인인 지적열정/호기심, 자신감, 객관성, 건전회의성, 지적공정성, 신중성 등 6개 요인을 종속변수로 선택하고, 연령을 공변량으로 입력한 다변량 공분산 분석 결과 다변량 검정 결과 학업성적 집단에 따라 다변량 통계량이 유의한 차이가 나타났으며(p=0.001), 지적열정/호기심에서 학업성적 상,중,하 집단 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.036). 3. 학업성적 집단 사이의 지적 열정/호기심에 대한 차이를 Scheffe의 방법에 의해 사후검정한 결과 상위권집단과 중위권 집단 사이(p=0.027)와 상위권 집단과 하위권 집단 사이(p=0.002)에 유의한 차이가 나타났으나, 중위권 집단과 하위권 집단 사이에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 치위생(학)과 학생들의 학업성적에 따른 비판적 사고성향을 분석한 결과, 성적에 따라 비판적 사고능력에는 지적 열정/ 호기심에서 차이가 있었으나, 그 차이는 크지 않았다(Wilks의 람다=0.914, F(6, 24)=1.869, p=0.001, 부분 에타제곱=0.044). 치과위생사의 비판적 사고능력은 업무범위 안에서 해결해야 하는 대상자의 '문제'와 '원인'의 관계를 진술하는 '치위생진단문'과 치과위생사가 제공해야할 예방, 치료, 교육에 관한 '중재 계획'으로 비판적 사고 과정의 결과이다. 따라서 치위생(학)과 학생들의 임상적 판단과 의사결정을 위한 비판적 사고 능력이 증진할 수 있는 교육체계가 마련되어야 한다고 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing nurses' clinical decision making focusing on critical thinking disposition. Methods: The subjects of this study consisted of 505 nurses working at one of the general hospitals located in Seoul. Data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire between December 2006 and January 2007. Data was analyzed by one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS Win 14.0. Results: The mean scores of critical thinking disposition and clinical decision making were 99.10 and 134.32 respectively. Clinical decision making scores were significantly higher in groups under continuing education, with a master or higher degree, with clinical experience more than 5 years, or with experts. Critical thinking disposition and its subscales have a significant correlation with clinical decision making. Intellectual eagerness/curiosity, prudence, clinical experience, intellectual honesty, self-confidence, and healthy skepticism were important factors influencing clinical decision making(adjusted $R^2=33%$). Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that various strategies such as retaining experienced nurses, encouraging them to continue with education and enhancing critical thinking disposition are warranted for development of clinical decision making.

This study introduces cognitive constructivism in reference to its emergence in the development of medical education. The main concepts of cognitive constructivism as they relate to knowledge construction and the learner's process were described, and cognitive constructivism as a learning theory was examined in its capacity to help interpret the phenomenon of medical education. Piaget's theory of cognitive constructivism and Ausubel's meaningful learning theory were applied in an attempt to explore the role of students and educators, curriculum, and teaching and learning in medical education from a cognitive constructivist perspective. When faced with new information, learners compare it with the existing schema to understand, and in order to resolve conflicts caused by inconsistencies in the information, learners incorporate assimilation and accommodation to help maintain equilibration. Therefore, instructors must meaningfully connect new content to the learner's existing schema and make endless efforts to satisfy learners' intellectual curiosity. The basic premises of medical education content is a suitable subject of meaningful learning. A learner who already possesses well-structured knowledge is likely to experience meaningful learning and a richer intellectual experience. Therefore, it is necessary to organize the curriculum strategically and elaborately so that learners can have an improved and effective learning experience.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the critical thinking disposition, problem solving ability, and clinical competence of nursing students in a 4-year baccalaureate university program. Methods: In this study, a descriptive survey design was used with convenience sample of 228 nursing students at a University in Chungbuk Province. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple stepwise regression. Results: The mean scores for critical thinking disposition, problem solving ability, and clinical competence were at the intermediate level. Significant positive correlations among critical thinking disposition, problem solving ability, and clinical competence were found. The regression model explained 46.8% of clinical competence. Problem solving confidence was the most significant predictor of clinical competence, other variables were intellectual fairness, intellectual eagerness/curiosity, and prudence. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that nursing students with higher levels of critical thinking disposition and problem solving ability will have a higher level of clinical competence. Furthermore, problem solving confidence might be the most important predictor in clinical competence. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the new teaching strategies in nursing education, strategies that will improve critical thinking disposition, problem solving ability, and clinical competence.

Background and objective: The concept of 'money' in the numbers and operations domain is a fundamentally necessary domain of economic life. This study was conducted to examine the effects of a horticulture-mathematics integration program on mathematical attitude and money calculating ability of high school students with intellectual disabilities. Methods: We analyzed the changes in the mathematical attitude and money calculating ability of students with mild intellectual disabilities in S special school in the city of D, Republic of Korea, with 12 students in the control group and 12 students in the experimental group, from August 27 to October 29, 2019. Results: The results of the comparison showed no statistically significant changes in the three items of mathematical attitude for the control group, while the experimental group, which took part in the horticulture-mathematics integration program, showed statistically significant differences across all three items, such as self-concept about the subject (p = .003), attitude toward the subject (p = .004), and study habit related to the subject (p = .012). The horticulture-mathematics integration program, which was developed by integrating horticultural activities and the mathematics curriculum, used plants and horticultural activities to provide students with positive experiences in mathematics. These included the sense of closeness, curiosity, interest, attention, and enjoyment, leading to positive changes in mathematical attitude. In terms of money calculating ability, both the control group and experimental group showed statistical differences across the three items, but the experimental group showed greater degrees of increase, 15.0 or more, in the scores compared to the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that utilizing horticultural materials as a part of purchase learning programs with elements of money calculation chapters in the mathematics curriculum could lead to the improvement of students' ability in money calculation. These positive changes are thought to be related to the high degrees of interest in horticulture among students, which led to active participation in the program and enabled the simple and repeated purchase activities in the program to generate positive changes in the money calculation ability of the students.
