In this study. 'extended science investigation' was conceptualized as a comprehensive science investigation contrasted with exercise of process and skill component and cookbook style experiment. The extended investigations should be pursued for giving opportunity of more authentic science activities in school science. And one of important educational objectives in students' science investigations is to achieve motivation for investigation which drives and triggers further investigations. It can be discerned as positive and negative by its direction and also as internal and external by its cause. The purpose of this study was to describe change of students' motivation for investigation while they were performing the extended science investigations. The subject was 128 7th grader attending coeducational school in Seoul. Questionnaires and students' reports were analysed complementarily to describe students' motivation for investigation. The number of students who showed positive motivation for investigation did not increase in the developed extended investigations than in the directive investigations in textbook, but the cause of positive motivation for investigation has changed largely from task-exclusive factors to task-inclusive factors. In case of negative motivation for investigation, regardless of the kind of investigation task, task-inclusive factors were recognized as the main causes. Among those whose motivation changed during successive extended investigations, the students who showed change from negative to positive were more than the reverse. And the number of positive intrinsic motivation for investigation was increased at the second half of the extended science investigations. So it can be said that there was a desirable change of motivation for investigation at the second half the extended science investigations.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a motivational enhancement therapy (MET) for coronary artery disease (CAD) patients in early stages of health behavior change and evaluate its effects on health motivation, the stages of change, health behaviors, and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: Using a non-equivalent control pre-post design, the study was conducted on 42 CAD patients who underwent medical treatment or percutaneous coronary interventions in a hospital. The intervention group (n=21) received the MET (MET 1 during admission, MET 2 after discharge via telephone). The control group (n=21) received a standard care. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2-test$ and t-test with the SPSS 12.0 program. Results: Participants in the intervention group reported significantly increased scores of health motivation (t=-2.093, p=.043), the stages of change (t=-5.682, p<.001), and health behaviors (t=-3.069, p=.004) and significantly decreased scores of cardiovascular risk factors (t=2.131, p=.039) compared to those of the control group. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the MET is an effective intervention in improving health behaviors and decreasing cardiovascular risk factors for CAD patients.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the factors affecting the stages of exercise behaviors changes of low back pain patients. Methods: The participants in this study were 220 low back pain patients who have been treated by therapeutic exercise or had the exercise treatment under the doctor's advice. The tools used for this study were the stages of exercise behavior change, intrinsic motivation questionnaires, and physical activity social support scale (PASS).

And 34.6% of the exercise behavior change can be explained by the social support (family, friend) and motivation. Conclusion: There were two recommendations for maintaining the exercise behaviors of low back pain patients based on theoretical background.
