이 연구의 목적은 과학적 가설 생성 과정의 두뇌 활성화 특성을 수리 연산 과정과 비교하여 3.0T fMRI를 이용하여 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 16명의 건강한 남자 피험자가 실험에 자발적으로 참여하였으며, 과학적 가설 생성 과제와 수리 연산 과제를 684초 동안 수행하여 fMRI 영상을 측정하였다. 측정한 후 언어적 보고 자료를 수집하여 fMRI 영상 자료의 신뢰도를 확보하였다. 언어적 보고의 분석 결과 수집한 fMRI 영상 자료 전부를 통계적 분석 대상 자료에 포함시켰다. SPM2 프로그램을 이용하여 통계적으로 분석한 결과, 과학적 가설 생성 과정은 수리 연산 과정과 다른 독립적인 두뇌 네트 을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 과학적 가설 생성 과정에서는 측두엽의 방추이랑(fusiform gyrus)에서 의문 상황 분석으로 이끌어내진 의미가 전두엽에서 부호화하는 과정이 일어난다고 할 수 있다. 수리 연산 과정은 전두엽과 두정엽의 연합된 영역이 중요한 역할을 하며 기능적 숙련도는 두정엽 영역이 관여하는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 과학적 가설 생성 과정에서는 과학적 감성의 생성도 동반하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 연구 결과는 과학적 가설 생성 과정을 두뇌 과학적 측면에서 고찰 할 수 있도록 하였으며, 과학적 가설 생성 학습 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 과학적 가설 생성 학습 프로그램은 두뇌-기반 학습의 한 전형으로 제안할 수 있다.

In this study, concept centered approach and process centered approach in developing integrated science curriculum were compared and compromised between two approaches. It seems that two approaches are in antagonistic relations. The superficial conflictions getween two approaches are not because they are antagonistic in their nature, but because their interesting points are different. The concept centered approahc is interest in fundamental scientific concepts and the process centered approach is interested in scientific enquiry. If science is the composition of enquiry processes and concepts produced by enquiry processes, scientific enquiry process and scientific concept must not be inconsistant. Although concepts are not unchangeable, new concepts and advanced concepts are based on the old concepts. Enquiry activity which is not based on concepts also cannot be significant enquiry. Although fundamental concepts in science is very important, in order to apply concepts to varios phenomena, and to understand concepts more deeply the student should understand concept through the process by which the concepts are derived. As we have discussed above, only the concept centered approach or the process centered approach itself is not complete. Comparing these two uncomplete approaches to integrated science curriculum, we can find out that two approaches are in complementary relations. Because integrated science is based on the idea that natural phenomena should not be understood in fragments, but should be understood as mutually related system' the integrated science curriculum includes both the fundamental scientific concepts and scientific enquiry processes.

There are a considerable number of instruments in testing science process skills in Korea as well as America and Europe. However, it has been difficult to find the instruments encompass the wide range of scientific process skills. Most instruments developed and used in Korea were focused on a school level or a few components of scientific process skills. In this study, the researchers examined the whole body of scientific process and identified 10 component skills. Three items for each component process skills were developed and revised by two pilot tests. The final instruments showed moderate difficulty, discrimination index, reliability, and validity. The instrument was also tested the usability by finding differences of students' ability on science process skills by grade levels, sexes, and city size. The results showed that the instrument was proved to be useful to discriminates the differences.

The purpose of this study was to explore the process of scientific thinking as it is revealed through the cases of constructive play for young children. For this purpose, the researcher observed and interviewed six four-year-olds in the Jaemi Class while recording them with a camcorder during a free choice activity class in the morning from April 23 to June 25, 2012. The observations were analyzed in chronological order according to the changes of theories and structure as presented by the children themselves. The process of scientific thinking in constructive play for young children can be divided into presentation of naive theories, the abandonment of naive theories according to repetitive experiences and the discovery of inconsistency, the representation of alternative theories, and the abandonment of alternative theories according to repetitive experiences and the discovery of contradictions. On the basis of the results, constructive play has proved to serve a valuable educational function by inducing scientific thinking processes in children. On the basis of this finding, the researcher suggests the need to provide appropriate educational support to teachers.

This study focuses on surveying and examining the beliefs of elementary pre-service and in-service teachers about science and science education. The instrument consisted of 21 items about science and science education on a 5-Likert scale(score range from 1 to 5). The one contained science knowledge and scientific invention, and the other contained science teacher, learning science and science learning and teaching. Data were collected from 76 pre-service and 96 in-service elementary teachers(24 male and 148 female). The elementary pre-service and in-service teachers had higher level belief about that science knowledge should be acquired by sequential scientific process, the beliefs of in-service teachers was more explicit than those of pre-service teachers. They had beliefs to educate learners by providing scientific joyfulness and sequential scientific process. But, in-service teachers had difficulties to perform scientific process-based activities. It is necessary to provide scientific experiences to understand the nature of science in pre-service and in-service programs.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of scientific argumentation and its development in the process of mutual discussion activities by elementary school students in the 5th grade. The results of this study can be summarized as below: First, students used diversity argumentation components for solving the given argumentation theme, however, most students used the assertion or the basis of a simple expression of their own thoughts as a high ratio, and components of a one directional explanatory argumentation process rather than components of a mutual communicative argumentation process. Second, an asymmetric group showed a high-use ratio of communicative argumentation components and achieved argumentation activities harmoniously between a symmetric group and an asymmetric group in organization of groups for solving argumentation themes. It was found that students in the transitional period showed the highest rate of participation within the discussion process. Moreover, they also showed the highest rate of development of discussion skills whilst in the process of using scientific problems. In conclusion, this phenomenon is caused by highlighting the mutual action between the teacher and the student rather than placing an emphasis on the mutual action among students during field instructions.
