본 연구에서는 R&E 프로그램에 참여한 270명의 학생을 대상으로 R&E의 목적, 주제 선정 과정, R&E의 장단점에 관하여 설문 조사를 실시하였고, 4명의 학생을 대상으로 심층인터뷰를 실시하였다. R&E의 목적과 장점에 대하여 학생들은 '예비 과학자로의 자질 함양, '연구 기회 제공', 탐구 수행 능력 신장'으로 인식하였으며, 단점으로는 '연구에 소비된 시간', '타율적 참여', '연구 내용의 어려움' 등을 언급하였다. R&E 프로그램은 정해진 주제 제시된 실험과정 문제 발생 시 전문가의 도움으로 진행되는 기술적 도제과정이 대부분이었으며, 창의적 문제해결능력 신장보다는 새로운 실험 장비나 첨단 기술을 접하는 기회 제공 차원이 큰 것으로 나타났다. R&E 프로그램에서 멘토의 역할이 중요하며, 멘토의 역할은 학생들의 생산적 참여 정도와 과학 및 과학자의 인식에 큰 영향을 주었다.

The purpose of this study was to design a development frame for multicultural science program and develop a corresponding program using the frame. This study organized a development frame to design a multicultural science education program based on the culturally responsive teaching theory. This development frame consisted of the elements of purpose, teaching examples, teaching and learning methods, and assessment. This program consisted of the guideline for class teaching courses, reading materials, student worksheet, and teachers' reference materials. Based on this development frame, a multicultural science education program was developed, which was comprised of seven activities for elementary and middle school students. Each activity of the program included the concept and inquiry related to science education. In particular, by connecting the concept of science with the cultural characteristics of various countries, the activity made students aware of cultural diversity and the commonness of science principles. Compared to other subjects, the science education field has not actively undertaken studies on multicultural education. In term of dealing with universal principles, science education is suitable for making students aware of commonness. Accordingly, this gives rise to the need to draw cultural characteristics based on basic studies such as the analysis of science textbooks in various countries and develop culturally responsive programs utilizing the outcomes.

The purposes of this study were to develop science education programs for changing students' science research ethical views, and to investigate the types and features of their views, and to examine their changes overtime. The subject of this study was one 6th grade class(41 students) at an elementary school located in Seoul. The scientific research ethical education programs developed in the study was applied through 8 lessons over 4 weeks. The results of this study show that 3 types of science research ethical views were appeared in elementary students participated in this study: 'human technology centered views', 'value ecology centered views' and the mixed views. The numbers of students, who changed their views from type I or type II to type III, were significantly increased. Students with type III appeared to actively involve in classroom activities aligned with science research ethical issues. The results imply that intended science ethical education program can affect students' ethical views on science. It is also important to aware that teacher's effective assistance and help contribute to students' meaningful changes on their traditional scientific ethical views. Educational implications on science education are discussed.

The most important factor in students' growth and development is the teacher. Therefore in-service science teacher education to develop the professionality is important as well as the selection of new excellence teachers. Our research is on the development and application of new education program on science experiments where in-service teachers become the lecturers in the program and provide information that is bound to the context of real lessons. This program is consisted of following 10 steps of work, which was implemented in 5 months: sharing the philosophy of the program, selecting science experiments, first application of the experiments, discussion on the first application, learning how to edit the movie clips of the lesson, second application of the experiments, in depth discussion on the second application, developing the experiment package, giving lecture to other science teachers, and evaluating the program. We describe the process of the program developed and implemented in detail to suggest a model of science teacher education program on science experiments and discuss educational implications. This program is characterized by the emphasis of the context closely linked to the real lessons, the problem solving in a real situation, and the collaboration of teachers, professors and science education researcher in a teacher education.

Interest has been studied as one of the construct to understand and improve learning in science. While informal science education is getting increasing attention as science education has been extended from formal school science to informal science learning including after-school program or science museum activity, however, little has been studied in comparing to the needs. In this study the authors investigated students' interest about learning science in the context of informal science education. For this the survey tool in the article of Im and Pak (2000) was utilized through modification, and 155 elementary students' responses were analyzed with factor analysis and basic statistics. The factor analysis showed that the students' interest about learning science in the context of informal science education has multi dimensions like subject, motivation, and activity dimension. The result showed that students' interest decreased as their grade is higher, and that the interest of intrinsic motivation, empirical activity, and descriptive subject were relatively high while the interest of extrinsic motivation, cognitive activity, and specific subjects were low. From this study the authors could infer the necessity of instructional strategy in consideration of students' interest for more effective science learning in informal science education environment.

오늘날 지구 환경 문제가 크게 부각됨에 따라 환경 교육의 중요성도 점차 강조되고 있다. 과학은 환경에 대한 교육, 환경 안에서의 교육, 환경을 위한 교육 등에 크게 기여할 수 있는 과목이다. 과학의 여러 분야 중에서 지구 과학은 연구의 대상이 지구에서 일어나는 자연적 또는 인위적 변화의 과정이라는 점에서 볼 때, 환경 교육적 차원에서 접근할 수 있는 내용이 상당히 많다. 따라서, 지구 과학 교육은 환경 교육에 큰 역할을 할 수 있음이 분명하다 이는 지구계 교육과 환경 교육의 목표가 거의 일치하고 있고, 지구에 대한 소양을 갖추기 위한 내용이 환경에 대한 소양을 갖추기 위한 내용에서 크게 벗어나지 않음에서도 알 수 있다. 그러나, 우리 나라의 지구 과학 교육 과정에서는 환경 교육적 차원의 관심이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 지구 환경을 전체적으로 고려한 지구 과학 교육이야말로 지구 과학 교육에 대한 새로운 관심을 집중시키는 방법이 될 뿐만 아니라, 인류의 당면 과제인 지구 환경 문제를 해결하고자 하는 환경교육에 적극적으로 참여하게 되는 길이기도 하다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate significant differences between the application group and nonapplication group of integrated science education in the science class about elementary teachers' perceptions and PCK. The results are as follows. First, no significant differences were found about science teachers' fundamental background variables between the two groups. This results showed that the application of integrated science education didn't have relation with the fundamental background variables. It was found that the application group of integrated science education has a lower frequency than the application group, however, it has been analysed that the application group has been applied at the introduction stage for students' motivation, focused on biology as twice every month. Second, to apply a successful integrated education in the elementary science class, it has analysed that not only teachers should need to understand about application method and concept of integrated science education but also science textbook and teaching-learning material should be developed and diffused in the well-integrated science. Third, it was found that professionality of elementary teachers to teach the scientific content knowledge is not comparatively high and non-application group of integrated science education has a lower PCK than the application group. Therefore, it should be provided that not only training programmes to learn interdisciplinary knowledge related to science, can lead to more understanding about instructional design, teaching strategies and concept for integrated science education should be developed but also chances to participate in various training programmes should be provided to enhance elementary teachers' professionality for integrated science education.
