  • 본 연구의 목적은 내러티브 사고를 소개하고, 이의 과학교육적 함의를 논의하는 것이다. 따라서 전체적 관점에서 접근한 이론적 연구이며, 주로 문헌자료에 의존하였다. 현대 교육은 전반적으로 지식의 발견 측면을 중시하면서 패러다임 사고양식을 강화해왔다. 그러나 현대 과학은 직접적인 관찰보다는 대부분 이론적 추론에 의존하여 만들어진다. 이처럼 경험을 조직하여 과학적 실재를 구성하는 과학 만들기 활동은 내러티브 사고를 요구한다. 그러므로 과학교육에서도 이미 완성된 과학을 반복하기보다는, 살아있는 과학 만들기 활동이 이루어져야 하므로 내러티브가 도입될 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 과학교육의 목적과 과학자 활동, 학생 활동 및 교수 활동 측면에서 내러티브 및 내러티브 사고의 가능성을 고찰하고, 그 과학 교육적 함의를 논의하였다.

  • This study reflects the demand of content elements related to "Human Reproduction" in elementary school science curriculum, and verifies its effects by developing and applying sex education contents available to elementary science class. The developed contents is composed of three sections in reference to the contents guideline for teachers. The contents include anatomical knowledge related to human reproduction and reflect social and cultural context of sex ethics. The first section: "How was I born?", second section: "Amazing changes in my body" and third section: "Healthy body, healthy mind." In the result of analysis of changes in sex knowledge and attitude after applying the contents, it showed statistically significant differences between experimental and comparative class. Thus, the developed contents made positive influence on improvement in elementary students' knowledge and attitude of human reproduction. However, it showed little difference in the effects of sex education contents by the grade and gender. In conclusion, if the sex education contents developed through this study is actively applied, it is expected to provide the elementary students with knowledge of the anatomic difference between male and female, its social and cultural understanding and responsibility for sex ethics. In addition, it is considered to be used as effective education programs and materials in elementary school science curriculum.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore characteristics of on-line teaching materials on websites of natural history museums, particularly with regard to educational perspectives and the nature of science. The target resources were selected from the websites of the Natural History Museum in London, the Australian Museum in Sydney, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.. A total of twelve on-line resources from these museums used in this study were selected as representative informal science teaching materials. For the investigation, this study developed a checklist with a total of nine items that were grounded on mostly reviewing previous literature and articles focusing on educational perspectives of natural history museums and science centers. Exciting and positive results were found in all four museums. The analyses, however, indicated weaknesses as well as strengths in on-line resources regarding their usages as informal science teaching venues.

  • With the 4th Industrial Revolution, educational change is required to cultivate the ability to adapt in the rapidly changing future. Accordingly, the importance of nurturing convergent talents to create new values using the humanities imagination, science and technology creativity, and engineering problem solving ability has emerged. The purpose of this study is to develop STEAM education program with Daedeok R&D Zone and KAIST resources for middle school and high school level. With this program, we investigated the effectivenss of STEAM education on creative problem solving ability, self-efficacy and the perception of STEAM education with pre-test and poste-test model. For this study, 91 students(46 middle school, 45 high school) participated in STEAM education program. As a result student participated in the STEAM program improved the creative problem-solving ability and students' interest in math and science. Also, students perceived STEAM program provided benefits of science-related career information. The suggestions were discussed based on the results.

  • The university mathematics education has been in a crisis during the last 10 years. In recent years, the crisis is rapidly amplified with a science-engineering student resource downsizing. In korea, government and industry have intervent several supporting policies to treat the mathematics-science-engineering crisis in university education. In this article, policies and its contents about human reasource development, industry-university co-ops, national skills standards are presented in context of university mathematics education.

  • Previous studies show that students have difficulties in understanding and using molecular visualization tools. This study focuses on the ways in which first year chemistry undergraduates use ball-and-stick molecular models to explain the concept of addition reaction and the difficulties that they face using the models. Video recordings of interviews with undergraduates manipulating ball-and-stick models to solve problems related to reaction mechanisms are analysed to determine if they are able to elucidate their understanding with use of models. The results showed that students have difficulties with viewing the ball-and-stick models from the proper perspective and understanding the relationship between the various structures that they have created using the models. They also find the use of ball-and-stick models tedious and prefer drawing molecular structures on paper to explain their ideas. Implications for the teaching using ball-and-stick molecular models are discussed.

  • In this study, we developed elementary science education modules for facilitating students' understanding of the connected nature of Science-Technology-Society. For these modules, we particularly used news articles to make connections among science, technology, and society. We set up the development criteria as followings: connecting science-technology-society, aligning with national science curriculum, respecting students' interest, and appropriating the difficulty levels in terms and concepts. We also studied 4th grade students' perception of using these modules in science lessons. Most students perceived that using the modules in their science classes helped them link science-technology-society intimately and enhance their interest and motivation, as well as their self-esteem for studying science.

  • The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of a science drama on elementary students' science attitudes. To this study, the survey measured science attitudes conducted to the experimental group(N=33) and the control group(N=33), and it was interviewed to them after their science drama. The interview was recorded to make a transcript, then used to complement the results of sub-domain analysis. The results were as follows: There was a statistically significant difference in curiosity and creativity regarding scientific attitude, and interest in science and appreciation of scientist regarding attitudes towards science. Though there was no statistical significance in the other domain of science attitudes, we confirmed that students' science attitudes was changed more positively and meaningfully by the analysis of the interview. Based-on this study, we suggested the implications and the following studies.

  • This study identified and examined earth science education department programs in Korea. Major courses provided by 11 universities and their course requirements were analyzed, and the main research results are as follows. First, many basic courses, other major requisite, and elective courses are provided in geology, astronomy, and atmospheric science. oceanography, geophysics, earth environmental science, and natural disaster and energy resources had fewer major requisite courses provided in addition to basic courses, and few elective courses were offered. Second, many courses in science education focused on earth science, while others focused on general science and there were few courses that covered education theory regarding the specific subject. Third, science course application requirements emphasized the understanding of science in general or of earth science specifically. From the above results, additional studies are proposed to reflect on the current state and supplement these programs.
