The purpose of this qualitative case study is to understand how the idea of data view and information graphics is used in the social studios middle school textbooks. Data were collected through national curriculum documents and social studies middle textbooks for 7-9 grades. We set up three questions for this studies; what kinds of information graphics are used in the textbooks, how the graphics are organized in the social studies middle school, and how the 7th social studies curriculum is related with the 7th national mathematics curriculum. Through the data analysis, we found that 1) Photographs, illustrations, information maps, etc., are used and frequencies of their usages are in descending order, 2) double lines graphs, circle graphs, and stripe graphs nip often adopted for the comparison of populations, 3) the relation of the two subjects curricula is not so good, especially in the curriculum steps of information mads scatter diagrams, and comparison of populations. Finally we suggest that new web site of data view or information graphics be provided for two curricula, workshop of information graphics are needed for social studies teachers.

본 연구는 해방 이후 현재까지 우리나라 중학교 사회과교육과정의 변천 과정을 정리하고, 그에 따른 지리교육의 목표와 내용 변화를 통합구조와 수준에 초점을 맞춰 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교수요목기부터 제3차 교육과정까지 중학교 사회과교육의 지리, 역사, 일반사회는 분과적으로 운영되었으나 제4차 교육과정에서 제7차 교육과정까지 중학교 사회과교육과정의 실질적 통합 요구가 강해졌다. 2007 개정 교육과정 이후 역사가 사회과교육과정으로부터 과목 독립하고, 학년마다 배치되었던 학제적 통합 단원도 사라지는 등 통합교과로서 사회과교육의 정체성이 흔들렸다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지리와 일반 사회만으로 구성된 중학교 사회과의 기형적 통합구조는 여전히 유지되고 있다. 둘째, 사회과 통합에 대한 요구가 강할수록 각 학문영역 간 시수 확보 경쟁 또한 치열해져 학습자의 학습 부담도 증가했다. 그리고 중학교 사회과 통합구조는 지리학과 지리교육의 간극을 점차 벌렸고, 지식과 학생 경험의 괴리도 넓혔다. 이처럼 중학교 사회과 통합구조는 지리교육과정의 목표와 내용 조직의 상위 요인으로 작용하여 의미 있는 지리교육과정을 개발하는데 걸림돌로 작용했다.

This study examined the mediating effect of self-concept on the relationship of peer victimization and social anxiety in middle school students. Study participants consisted of 235 (122 boys and 113 girls) first to third graders from three middle schools located in Seoul and Gyung-gi province. The School Violence Experience Scale and the Self-Concept Scale were used to measure research variables in the Korean version of Social Anxiety Scale for adolescents. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the general tendency of study variables. In addition, structural equation modeling(SEM) was used to examine the mediating model. The study results were as follows. First, the level of peer victimization of the middle school students decreased the self-concept level; in addition, the self-concept level had a significant negative effect on the social anxiety level. Second, the self-concept level fully mediated the peer victimization and social anxiety relationship. In conclusion, a higher peer victimization level resulted in a lower self-concept level, that produced a higher social anxiety level in middle school students. The results suggested that implementing effective interventions to prevent peer victimization and encouraging a positive self-concept in middle school students would make a significant contribution to reducing social anxiety.

The purpose of this qualitative case study is to understand how the idea of data view and information graphics is used in the social studies high school textbooks. Data were collected through national curriculum documents and social studies middle school textbooks for the 10th grade students. We set up three questions for this study; what kinds of information graphics are used in the textbooks, how the graphics are organized in the social studies middle school, and how the 7th social studies curriculum is related with the 7th national mathematics curriculum. Through the data analysis, we found that 1) photographs, information tables, illustrations, etc., are used and frequencies of their usages are in descending order, 2) double lines graphs, and stripe graphs are often adopted for the comparison of populations, 3) the relation of the two subjects curricula is not well developed, especially in the curriculum steps of information maps, scatter diagrams, and comparison of populations. Finally we suggest that new web site of data view or information graphics be provided for two curricula, workshop of information graphics be needed for social studies teachers, and modification of the 7th probability and statistics curriculum.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of middle school students'self-deprecation in the relationship between upward social comparison in social network service (SNS) and depression and the moderated mediating effect of cognitive flexibility. The participants were 288 middle school students, in the first to third grades from four middle schools located in Seoul, Gyeong-gi, and Jeonnam. The date were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients and the Process Macro Model 4, 1, and 14. The results of this study are as follows. First, an upward comparison in SNS has a significant positive influence on students'depression, and students' self-deprecation of students mediated the relation between two. Second, the level of control, which is a sub-factor of cognitive flexibility, moderated the mediating effect of self-deprecation. That is, if students are more likely to perceive difficult situations as controllable, upward social comparison in SNS mediated by self-deprecation has smaller effect on depression. Based on these results, we suggest practical interventions to reduce depression among middle school students by decreasing upward social comparison in SNS and self-deprecation. In addition, helping students perceive difficult situations as controllable could be another effective way of reducing depression among those students who have a high level of self-deprecation in upward social comparison in SNS.

The present study investigated the relationship between demographic variables(gender, grade in school, etc.) and children's social intelligence. Elementary and middle school students responded to the self-reported inventory on social intelligence, and their teachers used the social intelligence rating scale for children. The results show gender, grade, and regional differences in children's abilities to deal with various social situation. Furthermore, parents' education and residence is also related to their children's social intelligence. Based on regression analyses, it was found that grade in school and parent education were the most influential variables in explaining variance in children's social intelligence.

본 연구의 목적은 중학교 "사회" 교과서의 탐구 과제를 정보활용과정 측면에서 분석하고, 사서교사가 정보활용교육 차원에서 수행할 수 있는 교육적 역할을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 분석 결과 중학교 "사회" 교과서의 탐구 과제를 수행하는 학생은 개별적으로 필요한 자료를 선정하여 정보를 조사하고, 그 결과를 보고서로 쓰거나 발표하는 활동을 전개할 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 특징을 중학교 "도서관과 정보생활" 교육과정에서 지도하는 정보활용과정과 비교하면, 1단계인 '정보과제 정하기와 정보 요구 파악하기'와 3단계인 '정보표현하기'를 충족하고 있는 것이다. 따라서 사서교사는 탐구 과제 해결에 필요한 적절한 자료의 탐색 전략과 자료가 담고 있는 정보를 이해하고 종합하는 능력 그리고 탐구 과정과 결과를 평가하는 능력 등을 지도함으로써 사회교사의 수업 부담을 줄여주고 학생의 탐구 활동을 촉진할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 이를 위해서는 사서교사와 교과교사가 정보활용능력을 기반으로 한 협동수업을 활성화할 필요가 있다.

The purposes of this study were (1) to explore the stability of social acceptance when childen transferred from kindergarten to elementary school, and (2) to identify factors that predict children's social acceptance in new school environments. Twenty two children of 'J' kindergarten who were transfering to 'S' elementary school were sampled at the end of their kindergarten year. They were administered social acceptance tests, a school readiness test, and the simplified version of the Preschool Behavior Questionnaire. A sample of 135 children including the 22 children of 'J' kindergarten were administered social acceptance tests in the middle of the first grade of elementary school and questionnaires on their children's social experiences were completed by their parents. Social acceptance scores were found to be stable from kindergarten to elementary school. School readiness test scores and distractibility ratings by preschool teachers were moderately correlated with post-transition social acceptance. Among the social experiences variables, duration and number of preschool experiences were significantly correlated with social acceptance in the first grade of elementary school. There were no significant differences of social acceptance score according to the type of kindergarten.

The purposes of this study were to compare middle school students' alcohol expectancies with high school students' alcohol expectancies and to identify factors (family history of alcohol problems, television advertisements, age, gender, drinking experience, alcohol prevention education) related to their alcohol expectancies. A total of 1,164 middle school students in seven metropolitan areas in Korea participated in this study. The major finding of this study was that the respondents scored higher on negative alcohol expectancies than high school adolescents. As found in previous studies, factors related to adolescents' alcohol expectancies were also significantly related to respondents' alcohol expectancies in this study. Respondents who had family histories of alcohol problems, had drinking experiences, and were older expect drinking in a more positive manner. This study also found that alcohol advertising affected respondents' alcohol expectancies. However, this study found that current substance abuse prevention programs did not affect respondents' alcohol expectancies at all. This finding may suggest that some changes on current prevention programs should be needed in order to be more effective. Finally the result on the relationship gender and alcohol expectancies in this study was different from previous studies. Female respondents expected drinking more positively than male counterparts. This study suggests that further studies on this issue are necessary.
