In this study, the characteristics of the reading materials in elementary school science textbooks developed under the 2009 revised National Science Curriculum were investigated. The criteria for classifying the reading materials were the types of topic, purpose, students' activity, and presentation. The visual images in the reading materials were also analyzed from the viewpoint of type, role, caption type, and proximity type. The results indicated that the number of the reading materials in the 2009 revised science textbooks decreased compared to that of the 2007 revised science textbooks. It was also found that the frequencies of the reading materials expanding concepts of the text and/or requiring corresponding students' inquiry increased. More visual images were used in the reading materials of the 2009 revised science textbooks. However, several limitations were still found to exist; most visual images were illustration and/or picture; many visual images were presented without a caption; there was a problem in the proximity of visual image to text.

The purpose of this study is to guide and apply gettable and accessible materials around everyday life into classroom instruction, and to find out their effects on student academic achievement. In order to achieve it, this study was tried to develop and guide available materials around life in teaming activities, to provide a preliminary assignment that could apply the available materials, and to compare its academic achievement to one from field trip loaming. For the hypothesis testing, first, the experimental and comparing classes were selected based on the results of basic learning diagnostic evaluation, which conducted by the researcher being served as a full-time science teacher of the third and sixth grade of K elementary school in Kwangju for 2 years. Secondly, the instructional use of the available materials around life was applied to the experimental class. Also, the instructional use of the existing materials was applied to the comparing class. Finally, for the testing of the effects on academic achievement, the posterio test was implemented after conducting the experimental instruction in knowledge·understanding, inquiry process, and attitude domains classified by the unit characteristics. Using SPSS/WIN program the t-test was performed in order to compare the differences between the two groups. Major findings were as follows: 1) In the achievement test of knowledge·understanding domain, there were no significant differences at the 5％ level between the experimental and comparing classes. It could be difficult to say, therefore, that the instructional use of the available materials around life was more effective than the instructional use of the existing materials. However, it had some effects on differences between the third grade final achievement test and sixth grade experimental class. 2) In the achievement test of inquiry process domain, there were some significant differences in that the sixth grade experimental class was higher than the third grade out-of classroom experience unit. It was indicated that the instructional use of the available materials around life had some effects on improving the students' inquiry ability 3) In achievement test of attitude domain, there were some significant differences. It was shown that the self-evaluation test of the sixth grade experimental class unit was higher than that of the third grade out-of classroom experience unit; Especially, the learning activities in the experimental class were more active, and the experimental practice ability was improved. It was presented that the instructional use of the available materials around life had some effects on the students' academic achievement in attitude domain. It was concluded from this study that the instructional use of the available materials around life was less effective on Knowledge understanding domain, but was effective on improving their scientific inquiry ability and interest on science education.

이 연구는 학생 평가활동을 적용한 논의기반 탐구 과학수업이 고등학생들의 반성적 사고에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 광역시의 인문계 고등학교 1학년 6개 학급의 학생 166명을 대상으로 한 학기에 걸쳐 5개의 논의기반 탐구 과학수업을 실시하였다. 실험집단(84명)은 논의기반 탐구 과학수업의 주장과 증거 단계에 동료평가활동과 자기평가활동을 적용하여 논의의 질을 평가하는 경험을 제공하였으며 비교집단(82명)은 이 단계를 생략하였다. 학생 평가활동이 학생들의 반성적 사고에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 학생들이 작성한 반성 글쓰기를 분석하였으며, 인터뷰와 설문조사를 통해 평가활동에 대한 학생들의 인식을 탐색하여 학생 평가활동의 타당성과 활용 정도를 알아보았다. 반성 글쓰기 분석 결과, 1차 반성 글쓰기에서 두 집단 간의 유의미한 차이가 없었으나 3차와 5차 반성 글쓰기에서 실험집단의 점수가 비교집단보다 유의미하게 높았다. 반성 글쓰기의 하위 요소에서 탐구과정 분석, 학습의 이해, 생각의 변화 요소는 실험집단과 비교집단 모두 메타인지 수준의 반성을 나타내는 학생 비율이 증가하였으나, 실험집단이 비교집단보다 메타인지 수준의 반성을 보이는 학생 비율이 더 높았다. 반성적 실천 요소의 분석 결과, 실험집단은 메타인지 수준의 반성적 실천 학생 비율이 증가하였으나 비교집단은 오히려 감소하였다. 학생 설문조사와 인터뷰를 분석한 결과, 학생들은 평가활동이 자신의 학습에 도움이 된다고 인식하고 있었다. 또한 평가활동을 통해 자신이 무엇을 얼마나 알고 있는지를 깨닫게 되고 문제점을 파악하여 개선할 수 있는 방법을 탐색하는 메타인지 능력이 향상되었다고 응답하였다. 이러한 메타인지적 반성을 통해 부족한 부분을 개선하려 노력하였으므로 평가활동이 반성적 실천을 이끌었다고 인식하였다. 따라서 학생 평가활동은 학습의 과정으로 통합되어 학생들을 능동적으로 학습에 참여시킬 뿐만 아니라 학습에 대한 책임감을 향상시켜 학습을 스캐폴딩하는 도구로써 활용이 가능하다고 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate implications of self-directed learning experiments in elementary science education through understanding elementary school students' awareness of their experiences in self-directed learning experiments. Twenty students joined the school science club voluntarily and conducted self-directed learning experiments. We collected data through observation of the experiments, interviews, and questionnaires. The students who participated in the club showed high satisfaction with self-directed learning experiments. The participants were aware that their scientific interest and knowledge, and the confidence in conducting experiments were increased. The students felt positive about the inquiry process of conducting self-directed learning experiments with their own subjects. They also felt a sense of achievement in attempting their experiments in defiance of several failures. The participants realized that the self-directed inquires led to increased declarative and procedural knowledge of science. The students stated that they had some difficulties in coping with the different results contrary to expectations and preparing laboratory materials and instruments. Nonetheless, they showed the promotion of their scientific literacy during overcoming those difficulties. We suggest that self-directed learning experiments can be a more effective way in science learning to make students experience the nature of science than existing school experiments. This can be implemented through a creative experience activities such as science clubs.

In order to investigate elementary school students' readiness to write on scientific subject, we analyzed the participants' draft in elementary student section [National Student Science Writing Contest] which is sponsored by a daily press. As a first step, we designed an assessment framework to analyze the students' writing. It is composed of three domains: scientific thinking, logical validity, creativeness. Each domain has three sub-domains. By using the framework, seven raters scored the students' inquiry reports. The findings reveal that the students needed the training for scientific writing. Especially they had great difficulty in the sub-domain of 'suggestion of rational alternative solution' in scientific thinking domain, the sub-domains of 'clearness' and 'coherence' in logical validity domain, and in the sub-domains of 'creative problem solving' and 'creative presentation' in creative domain.
