This study was designed to 10 questions as development of GAP program for ninety high school students(each student of 30 with achievement as high, medium, and low categories), it was analyzed the perception of Earth scientist. High school students have a positive perception about a course in Earth science, but they have lack of knowledge about Earth scientist as a career man, and they can't recognize Earth scientist as a career. A failure of learning of Earth science for Students with low level achievement leads to a negative perception about Earth scientist and disconnection to future career. School education should provide an opportunity to encounter Earth scientist for students and it is badly in need of effort to connect to the job training program.

This study investigates longitudinal patterns in middle school students' mathematics interest and achievement using panel data from the 4th to 6th year of the Gyeonggi Education Panel Study. Results from the multivariate growth mixture model confirmed the existence of heterogeneous characteristics in the longitudinal trajectory of students' mathematics interest and achievement. Students were classified into four latent classes: a low-level class with weak interest and achievement, a high-level class with strong interest and achievement, a middlelevel-increasing class where interest and achievement rise with grade, and a middle-level-decreasing class where interest and achievement decline with grade. Each class exhibited distinct patterns in the change of interest and achievement. Moreover, an examination of the correlation between intercepts and slopes in the multivariate growth mixture model reveals a positive association between interest and achievement with respect to their initial values and growth rates. We further explore predictive variables influencing latent class assignment. The results indicated that students' educational ambition and time spent on private education positively affect mathematics interest and achievement, and the influence of prior learning varies based on its intensity. The perceived instruction method significantly impacts latent class assignment: teacher-centered instruction increases the likelihood of belonging to higher-level classes, while learner-centered instruction increases the likelihood of belonging to lower-level classes. This study has significant implications as it presents a new method for analyzing the longitudinal patterns of students' characteristics in mathematics education through the application of the multivariate growth mixture model.

The National Assessment of Educational Achievement has been conducted in the form of sampling assessment until 2007, but it was converted into sampling assessment one hundred percent working with relevant whole students in 2008. Therefore, the necessity of new study on the national assessment system of educational achievement was on the rise. The National Assessment System of Educational Achievement, which was implemented in this thesis was designed to analyze educational achievement status all over the province, total score and score frequency distribution per subject, item difficulty and item discrimination, degree of attraction of wrong answers, educational achievement per subject, gender, region, office of education, school, individual and status of students with high educational achievement.

The purpose of this study was to develope the education program using multimedia for endocrine disruptor, and to examine the learning effects of it on high school students. The subjects were 70 tenth grade students in the academic high school located in Chungnam. With dividing them into two groups: the controlled group and the experimental one, lessons were executed respectively. Total average of achievement was significantly different between control and experimental groups. Using multimedia learning can be effective in improving in terms of knowledge achievement. Meaningful difference did appear from almost, but did not appear between using multimedia materials group and traditional approach to tuition classes. The most of experimental group students were interesting of the education program using multimedia, and thought that multimedia learning materials were helpful to understand the lesson about endocrine disruptor. And experimental group students were more active and positive in the lesson using multimedia than in the traditional ones. By providing students with the proper learning materials that go with their traits and preference, the educational environments that students can take part in the class more positively and actively should be provided.

In this study, high school students' environmental conceptions and attitudes, and their relationships with affective variables (self-esteem, enjoyment of science lesson, and leisure interest in science) were investigated. Students' environmental conceptions were found to be low, and male students' environmental conceptions were higher than female students. However, the environmental attitudes of female students were more positive than those of male students. There were no differences between male and female students in the ecocentric attitudes, but male students had more egocentric attitudes than female students. Students of higher prior science achievement level possessed higher level of environmental conceptions than their counterparts. Among the affective variables studied, leisure interest in science was significantly correlated with environmental attitudes.

The purpose of this study has been found to be effective using web-based instruction than traditional teaching-learning method on academic achievement applying the meta-analysis method. The results of this study were as follows: First, The 85% subject of analysis of web-based instruction selected in this study turned out to be clear effective than traditional teaching-learning method in academic achievement of students. Second, Web-based instruction is more effective for academic achievement of elementary school students and university students than for middle school students and high school students relatively. Third, Web-based instruction is a most effective method in social subject and physical education but less effective in language subject. The overall results of this study concluded more powerful and big decisions which have integrated each different effects on academic achievement of studies web-based instruction method applying meta-analysis. Through this study, make better results were obtained and suggested the base line data and direction for follow up studies.

Many questions have been raised about mathematical education in vocational high schools. In this study, we have reorganized a typical mathematics textbook used in vocational high schools to check if this reorganization could be effective in students' learning. We also examined students'feeling about this. Contrary to our expectations, we could not find any noticeable differences in students' achievement. But we found that students with a high grade tend to major in mathematics- related subjects.

We analyzed and compared factors such as changes in the degree of difficulty of concepts presented in Chemistry I textbook, changes in class types (non-face-to-face, face-to-face), etc. on academic achievement by level (upper, middle, and lower). Students from A high school in Gyeongsangnam-do were selected for the subjects of the study. As a result of analyzing the change in the degree of difficulty of concepts, the total score of chemistry I combined by non-face-to-face and face-to-face classes during the second semester was lower than that of the first semester. As a result of analyzing the impact of factors such as changes in conceptual difficulty, changes in class types, etc. on academic achievement by level, students' grades at the 'lower level' by non-face-to-face classes were lower than those by face-to-face classes. In particular, at the lower level of the second semester, there was a large difference in grades between non-face-to-face and face-to-face classes. In the results of these studies, it was found that instructors' active feedback is important to identify difficulties in understanding learning contents for students with low levels of academic achievement and improve them at the same time.

The purpose of this study was to examine the basic academic achievement of technical high school students, their learning capability about major, their adaptability to school instruction and whether those factors of them was linked to their career in an effort to suggest workable reform measures. Technical high school seniors to grasp their basic learning capabilities and their opinions on the curricula. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the civil engineering students at technical high school weren't fully able to understand what they learned because of their poor basic achievement. They should take all the required courses to fix their academic deficiencies in the first year of high school, and client-centered additional education should be provided about particular subjects, such as mathematics, which they should learn to study their major. Second, many of the students chose technical high school through the advice of parents or since they weren't able to go onto academic high school. So they entered technical high school without knowing well about their major, and vocational education wasn't properly publicized. As students make a critical career decision in middle school, the government should build permanent pavilions for vocational-education exhibition where interested students can acquire information and explore their career without any restraints. Current fragrant vocational education that is based on experiential learning should be avoided. Third, the government substituted regular classroom teaching for field practice, and that resulted in providing just uniform instruction, destroying learning atmosphere and eventually holding teachers back from offering quality education. To remedy the situation, two different sorts of classes should be prepared. One type of classes are for college- bound students, and the others are for job-seeking students. College- bound students should receive education about humanities to improve their academic deficiencies, and job-seeking seniors should be allowed to take field-practice courses at authorized companies in the second semester. It's advisable personally and socially to help ensure their successful and immediate social adjustment.
