This study was intended to develop the STS module regarding conservation of water resources, called "A Project for the Conservation of Water Resources". Since each theme consisted of 2 subject activities, they had total 8 subject activities. Developed STS module was applied to 113 male students of 11th grader of D High School in Incheon. After they received 8 periods of the developed STS module, the environmental sensitivity and environmental conservation behavior and the interest of the affective domains related to science were determined. Results were as follows; Four themes of this module were 'What are the water resources?', 'What is a main cause for the water pollution?', 'A drinking water? or non-drinking water?' and 'Making UCC for the water resources'. Since each theme consisted of 2 subject activities, they were for total 8 periods. Developed STS module was found to be appropriate for the STS and they could be applied to the classroom easily. Students who were instructed according to the developed STS module showed that there was a statistically significant enhancement in the environmental sensitivity and environmental conservation behavior and in the area of interest of the affective domains related to science. Students who were instructed according to the developed STS module showed positive responses to the instructional methods by STS. Based on students' interview, they revealed that they were impressed with the hands-on activities and the process of subject activities. Instruction with STS module seemed to be more appropriate way of teaching compared to the traditional way of teaching. However, it will be necessary to develop more modules or programs which could be linked from the elementary school level to the high school level and to use them consistently in order to maximize their effects.

Purpose : Sit-to-stand (STS) is one of the important activities of daily living (ADL) and each of its parameters is used frequently. This study aimed to examine the influence of different seat height on performance time and floor reaction force strength during an STS movement. Methods : Fifteen young-adult male subjects participated in this study. The subjects were divided into three groups based on lower leg length. Subjects performed an STS movement twice from chairs at height adjusted by the lower leg length of each subject. To examine the influence of the chair seat height, ground reaction forces during a STS performed with 3 chair heights adjusted to each subjects lower leg length were compared. Results : Vertical ground reaction force and time during an STS movement were measured to evaluate. Parameters regarding ground reaction force were selected for analyses. Significant differences were found in ground reaction force at G1 was greater than G2 and G3. Conclusion : The STS movement achievement strategy differed since chair seat height changes relatively by the difference in lower leg length. When conducting the ability to achieve STS movement rating test, chair seat height considering each subject's lower leg length may be needed.

The purpose of this study was to test effect of STS instruction using the subject matter of marine life on middle school students' perception of ocean. The objects of 156 students were sampled from the 1st grade of a middle school and were divided into an experimental group and a control group. 79 students of the control group were treated with traditional instruction, while 77 students of the experimental group were treated with STS instruction materials. All of the students took test of perception of ocean before and after the instructions. The perception of ocean was divided into four categories; value of sea, development of marine resources, research and conservation of sea, and perception of sea-related vocation. The results of the pretest and the posttest indicated that the perception of ocean of the experimental group was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group. Specially in categories of the value of sea and the research and conservation of sea, the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group.

본 논문의 목표는 영국의 과학교육이라는 맥락 속에서 STS교육과 관련된 아이디어의 역사적 발전과정을 - 특히, 19세기와 20세기 전반 동안 - 살펴보는 것이다. STS교육은 구성주의와 함께 20세기 후반의 세계 과학교육을 특징짓는 양대 패러다임으로 간주되고 있다. 그리고 많은 사람들은 STS교육의 역사를 Science in Society 와 SISCON 이 개발되었던 1980년대 이후를 중심으로만 생각하는 경향이 있다. 하지만, 영국에서 STS교육과 관련하여 생각해 볼 수 있는 최초의 움직임으로는 19세기 초반의 노동자를 대상으로 과학의 기초 내용과 그 응용적 측면을 교육하고자 하였던 '노동자학교' 운동과 초등학교에서 '일상사물의 과학' 을 활발히 교육하였던 Dawes 등의 활동을 들 수 있겠다. 19세기 중반을 지나면서, 이러한 움직임은 초등학교의 '실물학습'이라는 교과를 통해 이어지게 되는데, 그 시기 동안 학교 과학 과목들은 정식으로 교육과정에 포함되고 이 과정에서 과학은 점차 순수 학문적이고 전문가 양성을 위한 준비과정으로 그 성격이 확립되게 되었다. 20세기에 접어들면서 이러한 협소한 관점의 학교 과학교육에 대한 비판과 반성이 점차 제기되었고, 특히 제 1차 세계대전의 경험을 통해 일반인 전체를 대상으로 하는 과학과 사회의 관계에 대한 교육의 필요성이 점차 널리 인식되게 되었다. 이러한 배경에서 1920-40년대 영국에서는 '일반과학'과 '시민과학'의 운동이 활발하게 전개되었으며, 이중에서 특히 '시민과학' 운동의 일환이었던 Hogben의 Science for the Citizen의 집필은 대표적인 STS교육의 사례라고 할 수 있겠다. 20세기 중반까지의 영국의 과학교육사는 기본적으로 학교 과학교육이 실용성과 학문성. 전문가양성과 일반 교육, 정신훈련과 과학지식교육, 개별과학과 일반과학 등 과학교육의 목표와 기능에 대한 상치되는 관점들 간의 투쟁의 단면들임을 보여주고 있다.
