  • This study was planned to investigate the patterns and the effect of science journal writing on the science process skill and the scientific attitude of elementary school students. This study tried to show their perceptions about science journal writing in order to find out the value of science journal writing. For this purpose, one class of 6th graders in an elementary school was tested. The results from this research show as follows: Science journals are classified into 9 types according to content and form. Writings about curiosity are the most frequent. Science concepts are found in observational journal. Science journals are more effective in the development of the science process skills and scientific attitude. Students are revealed to be in positive aspects through the research about science journal. In conclusion, science journal writing should be emphasized in science education for elementary school students.

  • This paper was made for the purpose of research for newly formed of Common Science subject and setting up for Common Science subject's place. For this purpose, I 1) reviewed the bacground of curriculum revision and newly formed Common Science subject. 2)reviewed the change of the current of science education and the study of Common Science subject in Korea. 3) examined Common Science subject as integrated science The results were as follow: l.Newly formed of Common Science subject motivated by current of science education in the wordwide, direction of the 6th curriculum in Korea and the actual condition of integrated science in foreign country. 2.1t emphasize on learning of inquiry method than system of knowlege,introduction to material connected with real life and science and technology in society in the Common Science subject. In principle,the level of concept in Common Science subject keep within level of Science subject in middle school. 3.Common Science subject is characterized by integrated science. And Common Science subject have to become more integrated science in the textbook and the teaching-learning as well as in curriculum.

  • The purpose of this study is to find out the effect on academic achievement and science-related affective domain of elementary students though science journal writing about the units of Science textbook of the first semester of the sixth grade. The results indicate that science-journal writing has influenced the students positively in the academic achievement of a lower group's academic achievements, in science related attitudes, 'voluntariness' and 'cooperation', in science learning motives, 'self-satisfaction for science', 'superficial strategies for science', and 'expectation for science', in fear level for science subjects, its lower fear class, 'experiment performance'. A middle group was revealed to have more positive improvement in 'cooperation' and 'perseverance', both of which were lower categories of science related attitudes, and as subgrade of science learning motives, 'self-efficiency for science' and 'expectation for science' stood out. For fear level for science subjects, the lower group gained distinctive results from 'science evaluation'.

  • The significant spring-time phenomenon known as the "Yellow Sand" influences not only regional but also global climate. It′s believed that frequency of yellow-sand events has increased in recent years. To investigate the possible factors inducing these special strong weather phenomenon and its impacts on meteorological elements, intensive sampling will be conducted by ADEMRC/KJIST from March to May 2003. Lagrangian trajectory (forward and backward), cluster analysis, factor analysis and satellite remote sense (SRS) techniques will be employed to inspect the mechanisms of yellow-sand. (omitted)

The Effect of the 'General Science' Course on the Students' Views about Science-Technology-Society Relationship and Their Perceptions of Science Classroom Environment (학생들의 과학.기술과 사회의 관계에 대한 견해 및 과학 수업 환경 인식에 미치는 공통 과학 과목의 효과)

  • In order to study the effect of the 'General Science' course implemented under the 6th science curriculum, high school students' views about the relationship between science/technology and society and their perceptions of science classroom environment were investigated. Four classes (n = 211) were selected from those completed the 'Science I' course under the 5th science curriculum, and 4 another classes (n = 216) which took the 'General Science' course under the 6th science curriculum were selected. In order to compare students' views about the relationship between science /technology and society. 10 items were selected from the VOSTS (Views On Science-Technology-Society) while considering the 6th science curriculum and the 'General Science' textbooks, and administered at the end of the 'Science I' course and at the beginning and end of the 'General Science' course. In order to compare the perceptions of science classroom environment, the Perceptions of Science Classroom Environment Questionnaire, which was prepared from the Individualized Classroom Environment Questionnaire. the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory, and the Classroom Environment Scale. was also administered at the end of the 'Science I' course and the 'General Science' course. The results indicated that the mean VOSTS score of the 6th-curriculum group was lower than that of the 5th-curriculum group, although the difference was not statistically significant. The decrease in the VOSTS score of the 6th-curriculum group during the 'General Science' course was statistically significant. It was also found that unrealistic views such as 'technology is the application of science', and 'corporations should control science/technology' had been formed during the course. However, the 6th-curriculum group had more positive perceptions of science classroom environment. Educational implications are discussed.

  • Science teachers' beliefs about science and school science and their perceptions of the science laboratory learning environment were investigated with an assumption that science laboratory teaching would be affected by science teachers' beliefs. Likert-scale questionnaires of BASSSQ and SLEI were used in this study. The major findings were as follows: 1. Science teachers showed inconsistent beliefs about science and school science. Their responses reflected a patch-like view of postmodern epistemology and objectivism They also showed somewhat different views about science and school science. It was found that science teachers had strong objectivist views about science in some parts. but they had moderate constructivist views about school science in other parts; 2. The mean scores of student cohesiveness, integration. and rule clarity on the actual version in SLEl were relatively high, but those of open-endedness and physical environment were very low; 3. There was no association between teachers' beliefs about science and their perceptions of the science laboratory learning environment. But some associations were found between teachers' beliefs about school science and their perception on student cohesiveness, integration, and rule clarity of the actual science laboratory learning environment. Teachers' beliefs about school science had some statistically significant correlations with their perceptions on all scales of the preferred version of SLEI. We could not show a causal relationship between teachers' beliefs and their science laboratory learning environment through these results. But it can be suggested that teachers' beliefs about school science do have a role in constructing a desirable science laboratory learning environment, as we found that there were statistically significant correlations between them.
