  • This study investigated and analyzed the social and emotional learning components of middle school science, and high school integrated science and science inquiry experiments, which are common subjects that all students must complete. The subjects of analysis were 139 achievement standards of science and curriculum and 496 activities included in textbooks. The research results are as follows. In the case of curriculum achievement standards, 'cultural understanding' was hardly included among the seven science and social-emotional learning elements, 'numeracy' and 'creative thinking' appeared high in middle school, 'critical thinking', 'social technology' and 'ethical understanding' were included with high frequency in high school. And in the case of textbook activity, the tendency of social-emotional learning elements in middle school and high school was similar. 'critical thinking', 'creative thinking', and 'social skills' were mainly provided, while 'ethical understanding' and 'cultural understanding' were reflected in a limited way. In order to cultivate the elements of overall social-emotional learning, it is necessary to specify the achievement standards of the curriculum or to supplement the textbook activities and teaching-learning process.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the connection among inquiry activities related to 'Metabolism' presented in life science textbooks developed according to the national common basic curriculum. To perform this, the type, process and context of inquiry activities of life science textbooks were analyzed. The number of inquiry activities is gradually increased from elementary to secondary school. As result of analysis, types, processes and skills, and context of inquiry were not balanced according to textbooks and school levels. It is suggested that the framework of evaluating inquiry activities based on curriculum objectives be provided when developing science textbooks. It also implies that teachers need to reconstruct inquiry contents and activities suitable to school situations when they teach in the real fields of education.

  • This research is to redefine the concept of Good School and to validate an effective Good Secondary School Scale in Kyung-gi Province and Seoul. As statistical methods, SPSS 13.0 and AMOS 5.0 were used. Item Analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA) were conducted to test the reliability of items and the factor structure. And Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) was conducted to test the validity and fitness of the Good School Scale. The outcomes are as follows: First, six factors(school environment, curriculum, teacher, school-based management system, director) will increase the good schooling effectiveness. Second, As a result of Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA), the goodness of fit indices(GFI AGFI, CFI, RMSEA) demonstrate statistically significance and fitness of the model. The final Good School Scale supports 6 Good School Factors obtained in main test. Therefore, we can say that this scale can be used as a valid instrument to measure a real Good Schooling Effectiveness at the secondary school situation in Korea.

  • The COM curriculum provides first a core of mathematics for all students, and then offers opportunities for students to enter different streams of mathematics studies. The flexible curriculum (COM) is certainly welcome as it focuses on a transition from concrete to conceptual mathematics and on sequentially learning the power of mathematical language and symbols from simple to complex. This approach emphasizes the use of computers in mathematics education in the upper secondary grades. In Mathematics A, one unit is developed to computer operation, flow charts and programming, and computation using the computer. In mathematics B, a chapter addresses algorithms and the computer where students learn the functions of computers, as well as programs of various algorithms. Mathematics C allots a chapter for numerical computation in which approximating solutions for equations, numerical integration, mensuration by parts, and approximation of integrals. But, unfortunately, they do not have any plan for the cooperation study.

  • Under the context of the recent curriculum reform in Mongolia emphasizing technology integration in schools, the main purpose of this study was to examine external and internal factors that influence teachers' use of technology. This study aimed to investigate structural relationships between school support, technology use, and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) among Mongolian secondary school teachers. This study was conducted with 208 secondary school teachers in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Data were collected through an instrument that measures three factors: teachers' use of technology, TPACK, and school support. The results indicate that TPACK has a partial mediation effect on the relationship between school support and the use of technology. The contribution of this study lies that it examines the complex relationships between internal and external factors affecting teachers' technology integration, especially among Mongolian teachers who are less researched in the existing literature.
