  • 이 연구는 과학철학 심리학 과학교육, 과학 교육과정 학습지도 평가 등과 관련이 있는 문헌을 조사 분석하고 그것이 과학교육의 여러 측면에 던져주는 시사점을 기술할 목적으로 수행되었다. 과학철학에 관해서는 전통적 과학철학과 현대의 과학철학 그리고 현대의 과학관으로 제기된 STS를 중심으로 조사 분석하였으며, 심리학은 전통적 심리학과 아울러 구성주의와 사회심리학을 그 대상으로 하였다. 한편, 과학철학과 심리학이 과학교육에 던져주는 시사점은 과학교육의 정의, 과학교육의 목적, 과학 교육과정, 과학 학습지도, 과학교육 평가를 중심으로 기술하였다. 이 연구에서는 과학교육을 과학에 의한 또는 과학을 통한 교육으로 정의했고, 과학교육의 목적으로 과학적 소양과 의사결정력의 함양을 강조하였으며, 과학의 교육과정에 과학의 윤리적 측면을 포함시켜야 함을 주장했다. 이 연구에서는 또 과학은 집단토의법과 협력학습법으로 학습지도되어야 하며, 그 결과의 평가는 인지구조가 변화된 정도의 측정에 주안점을 두어야 한다고 주장했다.

  • Environmental education contents in science textbooks of South Korea and the United States were compared and analyzed in order to find how to develop environmental education in elementary science education. McGraw-Hill science textbooks for third to sixth grade and science textbooks of Korea based on the 2009 Revised National Curriculum and the 2007 Revised National Curriculum were analyzed and compared. The categories were educational goals, kinds of contents, distributions of contents and tense. The result showed that the environmental education goals in science textbook of Korea and United States were biased to knowledge area. The educational contents of the United States was higher 2.5 times then Korea and distributed in all areas. In quantitative distributions in Korea were biased some special areas. Tense of educational contents were almost present. Attitudes and recognition of students varies gradually over a long period of time, the contents of environmental education will be useful "evenly distributed" for all areas and school year.

  • Since the term, 'scientific literacy' was introduced by P. D. Hurd in 1958, it has been used as a term, representing major goals in science education. In Korea, the term 'scientific literacy' was used in the statement of the summative objective of the 2007 science reformed curriculum. But in various educational contexts m which teachers and researchers works, the definition of the term has not been used consistently. This phenomena would be interpreted as showing limits of the term describing the goals of science education. This study examined the historical change in the meaning of the term in purpose of trying to anchor the definition. In this study, the changing period was divided into before introducing the term and after. The after era was divided into the period of confusing and anchoring in the meaning, and the period of expanding the meaning. Especially, after science as intellectual ability was conceptualized in science education communities, the meaning of scientific literacy was partially confused. In current time, as the concepts of language in cognitive science influenced the use of language in science education, the trends of expending the meaning of scientific literacy has been grasped in science education community.

  • The study reported here is a part of the Korean Science Education Database (SEDB) project, a long-term effort to improve science education by providing educational information to science educators. The purpose of the SEDB project is to improve access to science resources available to teachers, students, parents, and others. Three educational database have been investigated and discussed in depth. The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) that is the largest education database in the world and the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and Science Education (ENC) that is creating an easy-to-use catalog of mathematics and science curriculum materials have been investigated on the aspect of system and operation. The pilot form of the SEDB developed in this study has committed itself to reaching audiences that include practitioners and policymakers. The SEDB should be a collection of the most up-to-date and comprehensive listing of science curriculum materials in the nation, because educators need better access to the best instructional materials and programs to continually improve science education our nation's science. The researchers recommend the practical tips for developing an effective science education database.

  • It is the purpose at thus survey to get hold at problems in teaching integrated science in middle school. For this purpose, problems and suggestions were collected by questionnaire which were made out by middle school science teachers. Through the analysis of the questionnaire, it was found that the present curriculum of science education in the college of education and the in-service training program were not suitable for training middle school science teacher. Form the results of the analysis, this survey concluded that the curriculum and program mentioned above need improvement as follows. (1) science education curriculum in the college of education should be set up with two part. One is the part that middle school science teachers are trained and the other is the part that high school science teachers are trained. (2) In-service training program should be set off into two kinds. One is the program that middle school science teachers are trained and the other program that high school science teachers are trained.

  • The purpose of this study is a review of previous studies and principles of eye-tracking techniques that are actively applied in recent elementary science education. Also it proposes to utilize the direction of eye tracking techniques in elementary science education research. Recent eye-tracking technology was developed, using the infrared pupil and the corneal reflection can be safely and accurately track the eye movements of the participants. Eye tracking has the advantage of higher temporal resolution, accessibility, convenience, objectivity, stability and safety. Analysis of the previous studies, there was a difference in the study design and analysis. The workshops and seminars are needed for accurate understanding of eye-tracking method in elementary science education research. In conclusion, the eye-tracking can be utilized such as effectiveness analysis of teaching materials and media, behaviors analysis of teachers and students in a real class, cognitive strategies and attention analysis of the student, discriminating tool of various education evaluation, etc.

  • The enhancement of the quality of the teaching practice is a major factor in securing better schooling opportunities for students. In this article, initial teacher preparation of secondary school Earth science teachers, in-service science teacher education, and improving teacher policy are discussed. Data from in-depth interviews with exemplary science teachers were used to explore how to improve the quality of science teacher education in Korea. In terms of preservice teacher education, most exemplary teachers contended that teacher education programs should provide preservice teachers with practical knowledge by translating theory into practice. Their suggestions for how to improve in-service education are also discussed. Regarding directions of improving teacher policy in Korea, the teachers proposed an alternative teacher-promotion structure that incorporates the master-teacher position. Implications for introducing action research courses into teacher (re)education programs are also discussed.

  • 본 연구는 수학교육학의 기초학문이 되는 수학과 다학문적인 성격을 띤 수학교육학을 학문학적으로 비교할 때 수학과 비교되는 수학교육학의 학문적 특징을 형식과학 대비 경험과학에 대한 논의를 중심으로 전개했다. 또한 연구방법을 중심으로 수학교육학의 기반이 되는 교육학, 심리학과 같은 사회과학과 수학교육학의 비교를 통해 수학교육학의 연구 방법적 특징에 대해 문헌연구를 통해 고찰해보았다. 본 연구에 따르면, 수학교육학은 연구 방법적 측면에서 자연과학 이라기보다는 사회과학의 성격을 많이 가지고 있으며, 형식과학으로서의 수학과 그 외 수학교육학의 인접학문들과는 구별되는 독특한 특징을 가지고 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 각 학문영역 연구의 주장하는 바의 정당성은 전혀 다른 시각으로 이해되어야 한다.
