The main purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the teaching and learning strategy for systems thinking education in elementary students. For this, we developed the teaching and learning material for the systems thinking education based on the book, namely "The tip of the iceberg," and applied to the control group(N=97) of the all students(N=201). The results were as follows. Firstly, the products of the control groups showed more cycle loops than non-control groups. Secondly, the prominent difference of the number of cycle loops was displayed by the 5th graders between control and non-control groups. Thirdly, in this study, applying the teaching and learning strategy for systems thinking education didn't increase the students' thinking ability in terms of quantity. Consequently, this study showed that improving systems thinking ability of higher elementary students is possible through the teleological education.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the elementary students' mathematical thinking, which is found during mathematical problem solving processes based on mathematical knowledge, heuristics, control, and mathematical disposition. The participants were 8 fifth grade elementary students in Seoul. A qualitative case study was used for investigating the students' mathematical thinking. The data were coded according to the four components of the students' mathematical thinking. The results of the analyses concerning mathematical thinking of the elementary students were as follows: First, in terms of mathematical knowledge, the elementary students frequently used conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge and informal knowledge during problem solving processes. Second, students tended not to find new heuristics or apply new one, but they only used the heuristics acquired from the experiences of the class and prior experiences. Third, control was found while students were solving problems. Last, mathematical disposition influenced on the mathematical problem solving processes. Teachers need to in-depth observations on the problem solving processes of students, which leads to teachers'effective assistance on facilitating students' problem solving skills.

This study investigated elementary students' spatial thinking and visualization when they learned the shape of volcanoes. For this purpose we used GeoMapApp to design instruction program and assessment items. In the instruction, students were asked to connect the floor plan view of Jeju island with the cross-sectional view of the same figure producted by GeoMapApp. Then they were asked to classify four sets of pictures of volcanoes based on the similarities of figures, that is, dome-shaped and shield volcanoes. In the assessment students solved three questions which examined how they connected the plan view and cross-sectional profile of Kilauea, draw cross-sectional profile of Mt. Fuji, and distinguished a shield volcano and dome-shaped one. Students' discourse data during the class were analyzed according to the amount to showing their spatial thinking and visualization. The instruction program using GeoMapApp assisted students to facilitate their spatial thinking for understanding of volcanoes. The outcomes of assessment showed even elementary students had good spatial thinking and visualization. Therefore, we argued spatial thinking and visualization for geoscientific understanding need to be included in the national science curriculum for elementary students.

초등 수학 교육에서 대수적 사고의 중요성이 부각되는 것과 관련하여 본 연구에서는 우리나라 3학년 학생 197명을 대상으로 대수적 사고에 대한 전반적인 실태와 문제해결 과정에서 드러나는 특징을 살펴보았다. 특히 우리나라 초등 수학과 교육과정에서는 대수적 사고 요소를 성취기준이나 지도상의 유의점으로 명시하고 있지 않지만 암묵적으로 지도되는 실정이기 때문에, 대수적 사고 요소를 강조한 외국의 사례와 비교 분석함으로써 우리나라 학생들의 대수적 사고의 특징을 파악할 것으로 기대되었다. 연구 결과 대체적으로 대수적 사고 요소에 대한 학습이 이루어진 선행 연구의 집단과 유사하게 높은 정답률을 보였다. 반면 우리나라 학생들이 사용한 해결 전략의 특징으로 등식과 방정식을 해결하는 과정에서 구조적인 전략 보다는 계산적인 전략이 주도적으로 나타났으며, 대수식을 나타낼 때 등호를 사용하여 구체적인 수를 도출하려는 경향을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 우리나라 초등학교 3학년 학생들의 대수적 사고에 대한 전반적인 실태를 파악하고 대수적 사고의 지도 방향에 대한 시사점을 모색하는데 도움이 될 것이라 기대한다.
