The purpose of this research is to suggest the way to promote housewives' understanding of science and technology, based on the survey results of the attitude toward science and technology, the scientific attitude, and the interest in science and technology of housewives in Korea. The questionnaire was developed by researchers and administered to housewives who live in Seoul to get basic information. Housewives showed slightly positive attitudes toward science and technology, and similarly positive scientific attitudes. These scores were increased as monthly income and education level were raised. Housewives' interest of the science-technology related topics (foods, health, education, leisure, social issues, cooking, housing, everyday activity) was relatively high, and the interest of foods, health, education, and leisure was significantly correlated with the scores of housewives' attitude towards science and technology and their scientific attitudes. Housewives are shown to be curious to know these topics when they were asked by their children or do not know the terms appeared in media, or purchase home appliances and food. And they get the answers in a passive way by asking their family members or by watching TV or newspapers. They preferred TV program for enhancing their understanding of science. But such program could be proper to present science knowledge but not fulfill the role to promote scientific literacy. Specially designed programs through science centers or science museums would be suggested for their lifelong education.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how free inquiry activities affects the scientific process skills and scientific attitudes of 5th and 6th of elementary school students. For this study, 265 elementary students from 5th and 6th grade in Seoul were selected. In comparison group 130 students were implemented and to the experimental group 135 students who did not the free inquiry activities were implemented. The result of this study is as follows: First, curiosity was the most affective factor that motivate free inquiry activities and made them select their topics. Most of the students invested for the inquiry activity in less than 3 weeks. They had some help in every stages. Students became interested in free inquiry activities because they learned new facts and enjoyed doing experiments and they wanted to continue for the same reasons. Second, free inquiry activities had little effect on the basic science process skills of the experimental group, compared to the control group at the significant difference of p=0.05. Third, free inquiry activities had considerable effect on the integrative inquiry process skills of the experimental group, compared to the control group at the significant difference of p=0.05. Fourth, the result of the post-test of the experimental group showed that free inquiry activities had no effect on scientific attitudes at the significant difference of p=0.05. In conclusion, free inquiry activities will be much more effective in developing integrative inquiry process skills than in developing basic scientific process skills and scientific attitudes.

본 연구의 목적은 SSS 실험수업이 중3학생들의 과학에 관련된 태도와 과학적 태도에 미치는 효과를 알아보는 것이었다. 포항에 있는 중학교에서 두 학급이 선택되었고, 두 집단으로 분류되었다: 26명으로 구성된 실험집단은 SSS를 활용한 과학 실험수업에 참가하였고, 25명으로 이루어진 비교집단은 전통적 실험수업에 참여하였다. 이 연구의 주요 시사점은 다음과 같다: SSS 실험수업은 학생들의 과학에 관련된 태도와 과학적 태도에서 실험집단에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 그리고 과학에 관련된 태도와 과학적 태도의 하위영역에서 실험수업 전후에 유의미한 차이를 나타내었다. 반면에 비교집단에서는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 SSS를 활용한 학급은 학생들의 과학에 관련된 태도와 과학적 태도 형성에 좋은 영향을 받는다는 것을 시사한다. 특히 과학교과에 대한 태도와 같은 과학에 관련된 태도의 하위요소 향상이 두드러지고, 과학적 태도의 하위요소인 호기심, 비판성, 협동성, 자진성, 끈기성, 독창성이 SSS 실험수업 후에 향상된다. 그러므로 SSS 실험수업이 적용될 때 학습태도를 개선할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate science related attitudes, scientific knowledge, and scientific inquiry skills of middle school students when HASA(3H-hand, head, heart-at Science Activity) programs were applied to them. The HASA program is a program developed as an alternative to the current educational system. There are some basic principles for developing this program; it should be fun or of interest to students; it should be a manual activity that students can do with their own hands; it should be found in everyday life; and it's final goal is to improve scientific attitudes. The learning program consists of a series of 10 activities (10 periods). One hundred and sixty-two middle school students (7th graders) participated in the study and were divided into three groups. The HASA group (N=58) was exposed to the HASA program and the Lecture group (N=59) was exposed to the expository method of learning scientific knowledge, and the Lab group (N=45) was exposed to the experiment through textbooks. The results were as follows: 1) the HASA group was marginally higher than others but with no significant difference in science related attitudes; 2) the Lecture group had a significantly greater level of achievement in science knowledge; 3) There was no difference in the improvement of scientific inquiry skills.

본 연구에서는 중학교 2학년 '화학 변화와 원소' 단원에 대해 학생 질문을 강화한 교수-학습 모형을 개발 적용하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 서울 시내 여자 중학교 2학년 4개반(통제 집단 2학급, 처치 집단 2학급) 150명을 대상으로 4주 12차시 동안 진행되었으며, 사용된 교수-학습 모형에는 학생 질문을 활성화하기 위한 활동지 작성 과정과 교수-학습 도중 생기는 의문에 대한 학생 질문 과정, 그리고 학생 질문에 대한 개인별, 전체별 송환(feedback) 과정이 포함되었다. 수업 처치 전, 과학 수업에 대한 태도 검사 과학적 태도의 수용 검사를 실시하였고 개념 이해도 검사와 학업 성취도 검사의 공변량으로 사용하기 위해 각 집단 학생들의 1학년 과학 성적을 조사하였다. 수업 처치 후 학생들의 개념 이해도, 학업 성취도 과학 수업에 대한 태도 및 과학적 태도의 수용을 개념 검사지, 학업 성취도 검사지, TOSRA (Test of Science-Related Attitudes)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 학생 질문을 강화한 과학 수업 집단 학생들이 전통적 학습 집단 학생들에 비해 개념 이해도 (p<.01)와 학업 성취도(p<.05) 측면에서 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 그러나 과학 수업에 대한 태도와 과학적 태도의 수용은 처치 집단 학생들의 점수가 통제 집단 학생들의 점수보다 조금 높았지만, 두 집단 간에 유의미한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 학생 질문을 강화한 수업의 효과에 대한 교육적 합의에 대해 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study is to compare scientific attitude and degree of satisfaction for school science lessons between science-gifted and general elementary school students. The results of analysis are as follows : 1. Scientific attitude of both groups appeared to be above average and especially science-gifted students demonstrated higher level of scientific attitude in all area. The characteristics of science-gifted tenacity, high motivation, and creativity are demonstrated in their scientific attitudes. 2. Degree of satisfaction about school science lesson for both groups was above average while science-gifted students showed higher degree of satisfaction than general students. 3. Correlation of scientific attitude and science lessons between science-gifted and general students were relatively low. Scientific attitude of science-gifted students are more dependent on other variables than those of science lessons.
