The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the STS program on vocational high school students' science-related attitudes. In order to examine, we selected the content of instructions at the Earth Science content in the "Common Science" and applied the STS program for one year to the second grade students of six classes (N = 318) in a girls high school located in Kumi City, Kyungpook, Korea. For this study, we developed the instructional methods and then applied to the STS program. The result of this study revealed that the STS program on students' science achievement and attitudes were effective.

We developed a Web courseware using multimedia based on STS(Science-Technology-Society) and constructivism on fossil of fourth grade natural science in Primary school, which is recognized to be hard to simulate and watch the phenomena in real life. At present, there are several researches manifesting the effectiveness of the theory with off-line instructional materials. However, there are few results which demonstrate its ability on the Web. The main objective of the paper is to apply the STS theory on a Web courseware and to observe its efficacy. The Web courseware based on the theory allows students to observe and experiment in the Web environment and to have diverse experiences and thoughts through communication via Web. The paper shows that Web courseware based on STS theory can improve its effectiveness in a collaborative learning environment by providing Web facilities such as E-mail, Web search, information sharing, chatting, and so on.

Chemical batteries are indispensable materials, and technologies related to chemical batteries are important as they are linked to various social problems; further, they directly affect our lives. Thus, the topic of chemical batteries is suitable for industrial education. However, there has not been sufficient educational use of chemical batteries in Korea, and existing research materials do not correspond with the present curriculum. The STS teaching-learning materials about chemical batteries in this study were developed by the curriculum development model (preparation, development, improvement) for chemical engineering students in specialized vocational high schools. In the preparation stage, the study topic and the learning objective were selected by analyzing previous research about the STS and chemical battery. At the development stage, STS class plan and teaching-learning materials were developed. In the improvement stage, The STS curriculum plan and the teaching-learning materials were verified by a group of specialists and a survey regarding student satisfaction was conducted. As a result of conducting the class with the teaching-learning materials developed in this study, a positive effect in terms of students' perceptions, understanding and interest.

In this study, the effect of the STS program that was oriented from jurisprudental inquiry model on high school underachievers was investigated. The subjects were 76 high school students. They were divided into two groups, the STS program applied class(treatment group) and the traditional lecture-centered class(control group). The STS program was consisted of three subunits. 'nutrient and health', 'stimulation and reaction' and 'reproduction',of 'life' unit of high school general science. And these 3 subunits consisting of eight contents were lectured over 8 hours. The treatment group showed much better achievement in learning significantly (p<.05) than the control group showing that the STS program affected. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the STS program compatible with achievement level of students, and teaching-learning approaches and learning programs for underachievers.

To approach science education for all which has been required in STS program, it is indispensable to develop variously differentiated education courses that are suitable for various students. In order to do that, we have to abstract essential items that are dealt with in common from science textbook which is regarded as the kernel of science education. Then, these items are developed by fitting for each level-STS science study models. The purpose of this study is to improve the level-based investigation competence by applying these models to various level learning. We obtained some results as the following: First, there has been a positive change for attitude to study science in part. Second, we find the materials in our life and this study is relating to science, technique and society. So we find out the fact that there is close connection between science technique and our life. And also it helps encourage to learn. Third, in the process of searching for and producing STS materials, students have a chance to study for themselves by working out self-leading research activity. Finally, students can reduce a preconception that science is difficult by encouraging attitudes to search for and make our problems in our life scientifically and the habits thinking of and understanding our daily life itself in the scientific sight.

The main purposes of this study is to develop a web-based STS biology instruction program (WB-STS) for the scientifically gifted students. The specific main research questions were as follows; 1. How can the WB-STS for biology education be developed and what are the primary components involved in it? 2. Is there any proper validity for developed the WB-STS in biology education? To solve the above mentioned problems, several procedures were applied. First, in order to develop WB-STS for the scientifically gifted students, NCISE, Renzulli' s Enrichment Triad Model and the Iowa Chautauqua program's main characteristics were analyzed systematically and the principles and general process for constructing WB-STS were examined. Additionally, the needs of students and the goals of Biology education were identified thoroughly. And then all these ideas were embodied in an agenda for constructing WB-STS. Second, to analyse the validity and utility of developing WB-STS, a questionnaire was developed and submitted to seven specialists and a group of twenty students who would participate in the experiment later. The main results of study are summarized below: First, WB-STS appeared to be successfully constructed based on Renzulli' s Enrichment Triad Model and the Iowa Chautauqua program. Its main features are that it was made emphasizing a learner-centered approach and constructive learning. It is composed of five steps: Scientific theme selection -${\rightarrow}$Exploration ${\rightarrow}$ Concept & Principle Check ${\rightarrow}$ Finding Solution ${\rightarrow}$ Action. Second, seven specialists and a group of students assessed the developed WB-STS's validity and utility with a questionnaire, the results appeared satisfactory. Students showed high interest in WB-STS and gave a positive evaluation of WB-STS.

학생들이 스스로 문제를 해결하는데 필요한 과정과 기술을 강조하는 STS 교육의 특징에 비추어 볼 때, 인터넷을 이용하여 의사소통과 정보 수집을 하고 자료를 의미 있게 종합할 수 있는 웹기반 교육을 적용하면 효과적일 것이다. 또한 학생의 창의성이나 문제해결력 등 고등사고 기능을 파악하고 신장시키기 위한 수행평가 또한 STS의 수업 목표를 달성하는데 효과적일 것이다. 이에 일반적인 STS 수업을 적용한 학급과 웹기반 교육의 장점과 수행평가를 가미한 STS수업을 적용한 학급의 학업성취도를 비교 분석하여 STS학습에서 웹기반 수행평가의 효과를 검증하고자 STS 학습을 지원하는 수행평가 시스템을 설계하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of STS (Science, Technology and Society) instruction on 5th graders learning motivation and scientific attitudes, using ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) strategies. A total of 53 fifth grade students were sampled from an elementary school, and were assigned to the experimental and the control groups. For four weeks, the experimental group was treated with STS instruction using ARCS strategies while the control group was treated with traditional instruction. The result of this study showed that STS instruction using ARCS strategies was more effective in the development of students' learning motivation and scientific attitudes.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of STS program in Earth Science instruction on science-related attitude and scientific achievement of high school students. The students were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was taught by the STS program and the control group was taught by the conventional lecture. The science-related attitudes have been improved in the experimental group more positively than in the control group. The experimental group showed a higher improvement in scientific achievements than the control group.
